WISHING EVERYONE A FABULOUS 2024! Judy and Linda struggle to make sense of episodes 13-16 of "Strong Girl Nam Soon" (힘쎈여자 강남순), the JTBC drama, starring Lee YooMi, Ong SeongWoo, and Kim JungEun.

KDMEO Episode 197 - Strong Girl Nam Soon (힘쎈여자 강남순) 7-12
K-Drama My Eyes Out
IT'S FARTY TIME. Judy and Linda continue their voluntary self-torture by covering episodes 7-12 of "Strong Girl Nam Soon" (힘쎈여자 강남순), the JTBC drama, starring Lee YooMi, Ong SeongWoo, and Kim JungEun. If this drama has such high ratings, how come we don't have 23.7 million listeners? Some Korean terms: 나 잡아봐라: [nah-jab-ah-bwa-rah] "Try to catch me!"; this used to be a cringey cliche from Korean dramas in the 80s. 여인천하: [yeo-in-cheon-hah] literally "women's world"; "Ladies of the Palace", a 2001 sageuk about Queen...

WOMEN DELIVERY PEOPLE? NO F-ING WAY. Judy and Linda continue ranting about episodes 3-6 of "Strong Girl Nam Soon" (힘쎈여자 강남순), the JTBC drama, starring Lee YooMi, Ong SeongWoo, and Kim JungEun.

YOU GOT A BOYBANDER. WOW, SO MANY WHITE PEOPLE. Digressions: 1:30 - "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" was great, but sadly didn't get enough attention. Check it out on...

Sorry we had to abandon the First Impressions episode, but we really wanted to pick a drama and just delve into it, instead of demurring any longer.

Digressions: 1:17 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mail! 18:55 - DID YOU KNOW JO JINWOONG WAS IN EPISODE 1 OF "The Good Bad Mother" (나쁜엄마)? Judy...
info_outlineTIME IS RUNNING OUT. CRAM IN ALL THE SPONSORS. Judy, Linda and Teresa are yelling at the screen during episodes 11-14 of “Vagabond” (배가본드), an SBS action thriller starring Lee SeungGi and Bae Suzy.
PLEASE NOTE: We talk briefly about the portrayal of a suicide attempt in the drama from 48:46-50:00.
Everything about the bereaved family members is killing Judy with cheesiness. Linda attempts to explain the difference between legal and illegal lobbying. Teresa wonders if piggyback rides are common in Korea. We are disappointed with the NIS still being weirdly incompetent. How is Co-Pilot's Wife (Kang KyungHun) doing more spy stuff than anyone else in this drama?
