Year In Review: 2022

| kfangurl

I know, I know. This Year-In-Review is suuper late; I’ve always typically published my year-end post before 31 December each year, and now, it’s already the middle of March! 😅

If you’ve been around the blog, though, you’d know that this was because we’ve been having year-end posts from folks on Patreon, so that we can have a more wholistic look at Dramaland’s offerings, comparatively speaking.

What I mean is, I’m just one person, so there’s a limit to the number of shows I can check out in a year, even if I did nothing but watch dramas all year long.

With the community chiming in, we get to see a bigger range of dramas mentioned – and if certain shows get mentioned a lot as being really good (or really disappointing), then the rest of us know to pay extra attention. 😉

I hope that after 14 (!!) guest year-end wrap posts (they’re all listed here!), you’ve still got room in your heart for one more. 😅

Medical Care in Dramaland: A Community Thread

| kfangurl

Hi everyone!

As you may know, there are monthly chat corners on my Patreon page, where folks gather to chit-chat on a daily basis.

Those corners are divided into the Deep-dive zone (where spoilers are encouraged – with spoiler warnings), Spoiler-free zone (where we chat dramas, but without spoilers) and The Water Cooler (where we chat about anything and everything else).

Well, over these last couple of days, one of the threads has turned out to be particularly entertaining and irreverently hilarious, so I just had to share.

Here is the thread (started by Merij), with contributions from everyone who took the time to participate, recreated for your entertainment. 😁 This conversation took place over 2 days.

I hope you enjoy – and if you’d like to be part of conversations like this, please consider joining us on Patreon!

Lens adjustment: this is all in tongue-in-cheek, irreverent fun; no offense intended, so may none be taken, too. ❤️

Patreon Year End Awards: Trent’s Year In Dramas!

| kfangurl

Hey everyone!

We’re having guest posts from the lovely folks on Patreon, to help us take stock of our drama years, kinda-sorta like what we had last year, woot! 🥳

If you missed our earlier posts, you can check them out as follows: phl1rxd, j3ffc, Uyen, Sean, Martina, David, Natalia, MC, Leslie, Reem, Elaine, Kun, lotusgirl.

Today, I’m pleased to announce that Trent is sharing his drama year! (Which means that, yes, it’s time for me to write my own year-end post too! 😅)

I’m so glad that Trent made time for this year-end wrap-up post, while also anchoring our Winter Sonata group watch with his brilliantly, hilariously snarky posts. It’s no mean feat that he’s managed to write this post AND this week’s Winter Sonata episode notes, on top of work and family commitments. Mad props to ya, Trent! 🤩

I’m always curious to know what Trent thinks of a particular show, because, even though our drama tastes aren’t identical (his taste accommodates more darkness and blood than mine, for one 😅), they overlap a great deal, so much so that if Trent says that he really likes a certain show, I’m more than likely to sit up with a bit of interest.

..Which is how I ended up watching My Name and Hellbound, for example, heh. So if your drama taste is like mine, you’d likely be pretty interested in Trent’s drama opinions too. 😁

Trent also writes about dramas on his own blog, which you can visit here.

I hope you guys enjoy!

Today, I’m pleased to announce that Kun is sharing her drama year!

I’m so pleased that Kun was able to make time to write this post, because our drama tastes overlap enough, and she’s adventurous enough in trying out dramas, that I often feel intrigued by her drama picks, because I haven’t seen the show(s) she’s excited about.

Thanks, Kun, for making the time, and also, for always having my back, and sending me links to things that you think I’ll love. ❤️

I hope you guys enjoy!
