Description

Annyeonghaseyo! We’re three best selling American novelists who explore the wonderfully wacky world of K-Romance through a writer’s lens. We fangirl over our favorite characters, debate our favorite tropes, and nerd out through K-drama deep dives. Expect a few K-pop and K-skincare recs for good measure, because why not ride the Hallyu wave all the way to shore? So grab some Tteokbokki and listen to your new favorite unnis. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AfterNoonaDelightPodcast Love BTS? Visit our sister podcast, Afternoona Army, for "Thinky, Thirsty, Over Thirty" takes on Bangtan Life.
