Off and Gun, also known as Jumpol Adulkittiporn and Atthaphan Phunsawat, are Thai actors who are a popular double act in BL dramas.

Emotional Wounds: Come On, Baby, Make It Hurt So Good

AfterNoona Delight: KDrama Dishing and Deep Dives ·

2023/02/08

What's an emotional wound? Simply put, a wound is a big boo (or boo boos) from the past that causes a character lots of emotional pain. It's a deep-seated ouch that colors the way they look at the world, themselves, and/or others. But with hurt can come healing--and you know we love to see that.

Singles Inferno 2

AfterNoona Delight: KDrama Dishing and Deep Dives ·

2023/01/18

Netflix bills its South Korean dating show, Singles Inferno, as: stranded and ready to mingle, flirty singles search for love on a deserted island they can only escape as couples for romantic date nights in paradise. And while there are abs and bikinis galore...the second series of the show is endearing and dare we say wholesome? Skeptical? Look, we made a believer out of our co-host Amy who despises reality tv. It was a roller coaster of a season with a mud pit wrestle to the near death, a

Love Mechanics

2023/01/04

Take one heart-broken protagonist, one drunken love confession to the wrong guy, one (okay a few) night stands, and a whole lot of angst and what do you get? Love Mechanics--starring stand out Thai actors Yin and War--is a highly emotional ride full of chemistry and the poor decision making that often can happen in a college setting.

Cafe Minamdang: Super...or Scooby Doo?

Romance…murder…and shamans! That’s right, folks. It’s time for Cafe Minamdang...or as Megan coined it…Scooby Doo. Cafe Minamdang just aired this past summer on Netflix and was a must watch for many. Was it for the murder and intrigue? The love of police procedurals? A need for not one but two romances? Bonkers physical comeda? Or maybe just the desire to see an excellent homage to Goblin? Whatever the reason, Cafe Minamdang refuses to be placed in any one genre box. It’s got it all, my
