So in slight seriousness, would anyone be interested in me posting occasional material about recapping life in the old days? It feels like the entire recapping skillset is an obsolete one, but ultimately, I did get what I signed up for, which was writing mentorship from javabeans.

(I learned a lot – while suffering a lot – and all of that knowledge/experience lies wasted 😆 😅 😂 )

I’m also open to questions about life behind the curtain, and the kind of things you never got satisfactory answers for, if I know anything that I can share.

      Now I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed haha – I was thinking stuff like, ‘here’s writing feedback jb gave me, read it and weep’

        I won’t be disappointed, don’t worry, I just really love popcorn.😂

        I do wonder where JB and GF are – I’ve seen a couple of their videos on YouTube (can’t remember when now but they were from years ago) and hope they’re still doing something they love.

        Please share whatever you fancy – I’m 100% sure I’ll enjoy it. I loved what you said in that earlier thread about the point of recaps – I agree it’s about adding value via clarification, analysis and shared experience. I also really appreciate learning the cultural and language nuances that I wouldn’t have otherwise grasped. I’m so grateful for the writing here – I’m just sorry you weren’t fairly compensated for your work and devotion, and that at management level, they didn’t see the true value of what you do/did.

          Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

          From what they’ve shared publicly, I believe both are involved in various aspects of The Swoon (“Netflix’s community for global fans of K-content” according to the internet), which operates arms on youtube and IG. Not sure about the videos coming back though, it looks like an abandoned project now.

          I did spot jb in an article I read recently, which was a surprise, but very interesting and on my favourite topic, here: https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/transmigration-dramas-chinese-korean-time-travel

    Nice! I have one. Where did Heads go and are they still writing somewhere?

      wow Ally, starting with the hard ones!

      To be quite honest, even we (the writers around at the time) don’t really know what happened/why she left DB, that was all upper management stuff we weren’t privy to – here one day, gone the next is what it seemed like. But she’s well and healthy as far as I know although kdrama is no longer her day job – she’s still doing something she really loves, so you can rest assured nothing untoward has happened to her!

        Ah, that’s good. Yeah, I miss her very insightful and knowledgeable recaps.
        I’ve learned a lot of history from her recaps.

    While I’m curious about the whereabouts of previous recappers, (I know laica and festerfaster are with you at DOF, gummimochi, no idea) I’m actually quite interested in what you talked about recaps and edits. As a very jaded writer, I’d love to know the recap process if you’re comfortable sharing it.
