I love this! No wonder I've always felt like the dramas LollyPip watches are similar to mine. Weightlifting Fairy is one of my all-time fav dramas and my fav trope is rom-coms friends-to-lovers.

Hi, @lollypip!! It's nice to know more about you. I never knew you are Xiumin's fan. *giggling to self*

I read lots of your recaps because I love good romcom, but sometimes (or most of the times, really) couldn't find the time to watch it all. You recaps helps a lot since I can just watch my favorite cut scenes after reading it. I also wish I can be a bit more like Choi Ae-ra, my newest girl crush, with her bold, fearless, intelligent, and loyal character.

@lollypip, there's a reason you're my favorite recapper and your answers just made me smile and chuckle, especially the mutant drama! Hahaha! So glad to get to know you a bit! And yes, Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-ju is just the absolute best. *heart eyes*

Great to know more about you, LollyPip! Wow, you're so multi-talented! And I love how Flower Boy Ramyun Shop and 49 Days were your gateway dramas. *fist pumps*

I always look forward to reading your recaps, especially because you are so prompt ?? Also, I know whenever I'm in the mood for some lighter fare, and I'm not sure what to watch, I just find the show that you're recapping. You've become such a reliable go-to for me ? I know whatever drama you like, I'll like too!

On that note, I should go watch Heart to Heart then. Was contemplating watching it recently, hahah. I would watch your mutant baby drama. It sounds fun ?

Interesting that Pip comes from Pippin. I always associate Pip with CD's Great expectations. :)

I probably first got to really took notice of Lollypip with Sassy Go Go. That was a nice experience. I remember disagreeing with her about Chae Soo bin's character. :D

I know Dramabeans is dramaland but I love it when people mention k-pop *squeals* HAHAH

"She meets Joon-joon" ?

Omo @lollypip you went to chef school and worked as a pastry chef? ?
You have a job writing for dramabeans and baked professionally?? My Idol!
Watching kdramas and baking are my current 2 obsessions.... it's so cool to see I'm not alone.

(Btw just wondering... Can you share any tips on making a great almond dacquoise? I've been struggling to make one and all my attempts come out looking like a wrinkly old lady- the sides are too puffy, the middle sinks and is cracked, and it's so brittle I always end up cracking it when I handle it or try to cut it. I'd be most grateful! ❤️)

It is wonderful to get to know you a bit Lollypip especially finding out that we share passions toward music, theater, plants, and rom coms. Crinkles and Grumptopus in Sassy Go Go are still two of my favorite nicknames in all of Dramabeans' recaps!

It was lovely reading about you, LollyPip! ♥ your mutant drama is just hilarious!

I know you bake because I have read all the 2015 year end reviews and you had included pictures of your pastries, they all looked so delicious that I suddenly craved something sweet while reading it!

And the guy who left you without any reason is absolutely the worst type of guys out there.

@lollypip do you have any tips for some who wants to start gardening?

Hi Lollipip! Just want to say that you are one of my favorite recappers here in DB. I think your taste in kdramas very match well to mine. Thanks for your hardwork! :)

Weightlifting Fairy is the best! I always enjoy your recaps and commentary, Lollypip! I too could spend the majority of my life in a comfortable chair surrounded by animals, a hobby (I sew instead of knit), and dramas. I have a black thumb though!

My rom-com tastes always gravitate towards dramas that LollyPip recaps. And Flower Boy Ramyun Shop is a particular favourite of mine for no profound reason. :)

Y'know, if you said you named Pippin after the character in Lord of the Rings you'd most definitely be a kindred spirit.

Heart to Heart was such a lovely drama! And your mutant baby drama sounds every bit as confusing and nonsensical as BoF itself, which is no small feat!

Question: So I low key want to learn to knit, but I honestly have no idea where to start. It's actually kind of frustrating. Can you offer any tips?

Oh my gosh this reads so akwardly...

The drama mashup is killing me! Jan-ju and Joon-joon are the actual best (/worst) and you are a genius! *choking on lols*

@lollypip is my favorite recapper, because I unlurked myself on Emergency Couple and you are the recapper!
Also, "doing a whole lot of nothing" sounds like a lovely hobby ^^ However, I only half believe this is yours, since you are super super quick with recaps, and I totally admires you for your dedication *bow*.

Hahaha! Oh, sorry(whisper).

Hi @Lollypip? So nice to meet you.
I've always wondered why i like reading your recaps, but now after meeting you i can see why.
I somehow feel excited to know that you too are a sucker for Friends to Lovers trope cause it's my very favorite trope among all. I can watch anything if the story is about friends who later falls in love, though i'd prefer it more if it were a kdrama cause it feels so real. That's why, 'Fight My Way' is currently my favourite.
So Lollypip, i'd like say you're one of my favourite recapers.

Sorry, nothing can beat first love, you know.

I was so looking forward to your version of Staff Spotlight @lollypip because I mostly always watch shows that you recap.. Shopping King Louis and Weightlifting were particular favourites but I have fond memories of Drinking Solo too!

Your recap writing set-up sounds adorable and now I will always imagine two dachshunds when I read your recaps :P

The mutant baby drama sounds like a mess and I was left with a whaaaaat!! ;)

Oh btw, unrelated, but I was reading some old random articles of DB and I had to ask you- what is 'Six Degrees of White Christmas'?

I just wonder if your avatar taken from "You're Beautiful" anyway it's nice to know you, LollyPip..

Am I assuming correctly that your dog Pippin is named after the musical? Is the name Lolly also a musical theatre reference?

Aha! I knew there was a reason 80% of the dramas I watch are recapped by LollyPip. We're both lazy (exercise -- what?), musical background, prefer animals/plants to people, etc. The only difference is that I don't have that boyfriend experience, which sounds painful and super kdrama-esque.

I have a random question -- I would like to grow my own veggies like you (those straw bale things look cool!) but am beset by bugs that eat the plants. Do you know of a good non-pesticide way of keeping them away?

Hahaha! I had to mentally laugh at the end because my roommate might think I'm crazy and I have an exam tomorrow
Totally hilarious! Esp. the bit about you quiting music because you wanted more time for stuff, like you know, eating!??

Am I the only one thinking that the mutant drama ideas proposed by the staff could actually work?

I really liked Heart to Heart.

I am on the last episode of Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-ju and it is SOOO adorable. Watching the main couple is like watching puppies bounce around because they are just so freaking cute together. I hope it ends well!

And learning Lee Sung-Kyung and Nam Joo-Hyuk are dating in real life makes it even better!

Also.. You are like my soulmate. You sound just like me. I am a huge introvert who prefers sitting at home then going out places. The shows you enjoy are shows I love. AND I am a huge gamer. If I'm not watching a kdrama I am playing a video game. What type of games do you like playing?

we seem to share a lot of hobbies. Like gardening! I really enjoy your bubbly recaps, you´re so invested with neck and skin. Shopping King Louis times! Squeaaaaal!

I'm a big fan of your recaps LollyPip!! Nothing beats a good friends to lovers rom com! It's great to get to know you a bit more :)

And yes! Jan-di is the actual worst! I'm so glad you mentioned it , this long grudge is out of my chest!! ;)

Rom coms are my favorite too! Hence I have found the majority of recaps I read were written by you :) I'm also a social introvert and watching dramas is one way which I recharge haha

Thanks for sharing, LollyPip! It's so nice to know a little bit more about you and your many talents!

I had a good chuckle with your mutant baby drama description. Thank you also for your recaps. Currently reading your recaps for Fight My Way.

Your taste of dramas is nearly impeccable.

Thank you Lollypip for recapping so many of my favorite dramas! I've been a fan of your writting since Witch's romance, and I am often amazed (and/or alarmed) at how many shows you are recapping simultaneously (and all by yourself at that! It must be so much work). When I see a promising show about to come out, I often think to myself "go grab it Lollypip, don't let anyone else take it!!!". So thank you thank you thank you for your work and your commitment to Dramabeans!

@lollypip Love this!!

I was just thinking that Choi Ae-ra from Fight My Way was really what I always wanted to be! Just never had that support system as back up for 'the crazy'. But totally would love to be that bold.

Also, sloth would also be my undoing...I can 'shut-in' with the best of them. Hermits unite!!

You know, there should be a special question for Lollypip to ask her what's her secret for being able to recap so many dramas without rest. I'm thinking some secret elixir, a time turner, or she's a genetically modified mutant x with the power to not need sleep.

Wow! What an amazing life! Thanks for sharing :)!

And hurrah for the Dark Crystal! It is also one of my favorite movies :).

Thanks for sharing, Lollypip. I was surprised to read that you're currently working as a retail manager-- I don't know how you manage to regularly turn out such prompt, well-written recaps, and sometimes up to 4/week-- that's mighty impressive! I love many of the same shows that you do and it's always such a pleasure to read your recaps.

I was also surprised to learn that you identify with Hong-do and Dok-mi because I had read about your musical theater background and had pictured you as a gregarious extrovert. Btw, what a nabbeun namja your ex is-- that's such a cruel thing to do! I hope your heart is (mostly) healed. I, too, try to take inspiration from my fave fearless k-drama heroines, and I'm still working on the lesson that what other people think of me is none of my business.

Your mutant-baby drama is jjang! Jan-di was the first k-drama character that made me want to throw my computer out the window.

I'll check out The Dark Crystal. Thanks for the rec.-- and thanks for being such a wonderful recapper!

That baby mutant drama is simply awesome. Is it bad that I actually want to watch it? ?
BOF is one of my least favorite dramas as well! I swore off kdramas for many months after I saw BOF!

My EXO bias is Xuimin too! That boy is so cute and talented.

It's so great to hear more about all our favorite recappers! I could say so many things, and honestly your recaps are some of my true favorites, but really the main thing is...when do we get to hang out and chat about PSJ? Because I can waste a looooot of time on that topic...*ahem*.

Lollypip almost always recap a drama I like at any point given in time.
It's so great getting to know you better.

Wow, I can relate to many things. I'm studying patisserie at the moment. I don't really like being social either and I could easily become a recluse if I'm not careful. And friends to lovers are my favorite stories too.

Gelfling, am friend!!!
; )

I love Weightlifting Fairy. Bokju and Joonhyung are absolutely wonderful.

Thanks for sharing interesting info about you! Thank you for your wonderful recaps as well.

Wow. 15 years. That's actually my most hated drama trope. Someone disappearing and then coming back years later hoping to get back together. Yours didn't come back so that's a relief. I wish you all the happiness, LollyPip! I love your recaps!

I'm not too surprised that we have somewhat similar interests and tastes. I really appreciate the staff here at DB, but you have recapped some of my favourite dramas like Shopping King Louis, WLFKBJ, Radiant Office, and Suspicious Partner--one of my current favourites. Apparently I now have to watch Flower Boy Ramen Shop :) . Thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to reading more of your recaps in the future!

LollyPip, I also love the movie Dark Crystal! The sole reason I got into fantasy movies and fantasy novels when I was little was that movie. We have a lot in common besides that too, and it was a joy to read your interview! It was nice to get to know you.

This section is amazing cause you get a bit closer with the db staff, I feel I have a lot in common with LollyPip and really could get along with her. I've now a warm spot for her recaps.

Aw, yay! I was looking forward to this one. You seem to recap all the shows that I would want to tune into. And even if I don't end up watching the shows, I still read your recaps. Thanks for being so diligent and prompt in posting the recaps, they are usually ready by the time I wake up in the morning (Japan) so I get to read it on the train to work. Sounds like you have a sweet setup with DB and the Gardening! So awesome.
