KDMEO Episode 198 - Strong Girl Nam Soon (힘쎈여자 강남순) 13-16
K-Drama My Eyes Out
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. We're going to shake off the bad vibes of this drama with the remnants of 2023 and go forward into 2024 with "Daily Dose of Sunshine" starring Park BoYoung!

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. I struggled so hard with the headline for this episode. Here are the other candidates: WE'RE CALLING HIM "LIVER TRANSPLANT" FROM NOW ON. HIS NAME IS BREAD SONG?!?!? WHERE'S THE CUTE? 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...

KDMEO Episode 195 - Strong Girl Nam Soon (힘쎈여자 강남순) 1-2
K-Drama My Eyes Out
THAT'S NOT HOW SCIENCE WORKS! Judy and Linda dive straight into the first two episodes of "Strong Girl Nam Soon" (힘쎈여자 강남순), the JTBC drama, starring Lee YooMi, Ong SeongWoo, and Kim JungEun. 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. We are going to try our best to record every two weeks, we swear! 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_outlineWELCOME TO SEASON 4 OF K-DRAMA MY EYES OUT!
Judy, Linda and Teresa are excited to talk about the hottest Korean dramas of Fall 2020!
Digressions:
1:40 - New Patreon donors and Listener E-mails!
7:37 - ***SPOILERS*** Follow-up on "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" (사이코지만 괜찮아)
20:45 - Judy did NOT finish "Was It Love" (우리, 사랑했을까)
23:51 - Teresa tried out some slice of life animes: "A Place Further than the Universe" (宇宙よりも遠い場所), "Laid-Back Camp" (ゆるキャン△)
25:14 - Linda watched the controversial "Emily in Paris"
28:33 - Judy is hooked on the unapologetically Canadian "Murdoch Mysteries"
33:01 - Linda discovered that Park SoDam does not make "Cinderella and the Four Knights" (신데렐라와 네 명의 기사) worth watching
39:03 - Seriously, what is up with Subway?
35:58 - "Record of Youth" (청춘기록) is a TVN drama about chasing your dreams and stars Park BoGum, Park SoDam and Byeon WooSeok. Linda wishes that it had more interesting material for Park BoGum and Park SoDam to sink their teeth into.
56:07 - "The School Nurse Files" (보건교사 안은영) is a super quirky Netflix original series based on a Korean web novel. It stars Jung YuMi and Nam JooHyuk as refreshingly normal-looking staff at a high school. BUFFY VIBES, said everyone at the Netflix party we hosted.
1:03:40 - "Tale of the Nine Tailed" (구미호뎐) is a glossy supernatural series starring Lee DongWook and Jo BoAh. Lee DongWook is excellent as a world-weary nine-tailed fox who gave up his powers for love. Can it be as good as Goblin?
1:25:40 - "Private Lives" (사생활) is a JTBC drama that lured us in with SeoHyun from Girls' Generation and Go GyungPyo. What we wanted and expected was a sexy show about con artists doing heists. What JTBC says it's giving us is something about corporate corruption? We'll probably keep watching for SeoHyun's wigs and outfits and Go GyungPyo's boyish good looks.
Some Korean terms:
여우고개: [yeo-oo-go-gae] fox mountain pass.
