Today Amy and Lia have the pleasure of talking to costume designer/maker Lynne Martens who scored a press pas to L.A.'s K-Con and got to breathe the same air as Park Min-Young, Rowoon, Kim Soo-Hyun, and Taemin, to name a few. We loved getting to hear Lynne's K-Drama and K-Pop origin story, how she's only two Kevin Bacons away from Ji Chang-Wook and Lee Min-Ho, and of course what it was like to brave the chaotic joy of K-Con! You can find Lynne on Instagram and TikTok at @hallyuwithme and @hallyu.with.me. Check out her YouTube Channel (also @hallyuwithme) for all the K-Pop and K-Drama joy. And for some fabulous K-Pop fan art, head on over to hallyuwithme.com!

When someone whispers "angsty" about a drama, buckle up! You're in for a ride that could twist your insides like a pretzel and possibly leave you ugly-crying into your mattress. So, what's your flavor? Are you the type who thrives on emotional turbulence, eagerly lapping up every tear and heartache? Or do you prefer your stories fluffy as a cloud, with just a pinch of angst to keep things interesting? We explore the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Get ready to talk about dramas that made us writhe, cry, and maybe throw a pillow or two at our screen (gently, of course).

At long last, Amy and Lia do a Queen of Tears deep dive! Join us as we gush over Kim Soo-hyun's emotional range, Kim Ji-won's fantastic performance, Park Sung-hoon's emotional boo-boos, and Kwak Dong-yeon as our Queen's Group MVP.

Summer schedules have been keeping us apart, but your Afternoona hosts managed to reunite for an uncensored episode. What have we been watching? What are we looking forward to (hint: Jung Hae In)? What drama actors would Amy re-cast in a Twilight remake? Megan dishes on Rain and Uhm Tae-Goo. Which drama caused Lia to cry the most? What's one of our real life drama-tastic moments? Warning: Beware random moments of foot licking. Sorry (just kidding, not apologies).

Sarah from AfterNoona Asks joins Megan in discussing Death's Game, which might have come out in January, but better late than never, right? We get into the many lives, excellent acting and...squelching. Megan also gives an alternative ending idea to an already well-plotted drama.

Your Afternoonas are in summer vacation mode...but don't worry, we won't leave ya'll hanging. In order to get some time off, but also keep content coming, we developed the concept of three summer rogue episodes. Each host will be in charge of one and can do whatever it is their little heart desires. Lia is up first. She brought in a very special, very non-secret guest...MEGAN. Why is her regular co-host a special guest? Because we recorded this show passed out on her hotel bed after walking 23,000 steps through Manhattan complete with a thunderstorm and four kids in tow. Join us for the joy of recording in human form together, and also upcoming 2024 K-dramas we are anticipating!
PS: Where was Amy? On a cruise--a real one--somewhere near Belfast.

Amy and Megan discuss 2024's Lovely Runner, a Kdrama with time travel, romance, and a serial killer. How can this not be a favorite? We get into what we liked, why Byeon Woo Seok is a new favorite Kdrama hero, and some fan theories that may or may not make sense. Either way, it's a fun one, so get into it with us!
