She has abandoned the INFJ collective! 33:36 - Judy watched "Believer"...

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.

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...

KDMEO Episode 196 - SGNS (힘쎈여자 강남순) 3-6
K-Drama My Eyes Out
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...
info_outlineWARNING - THE LAST 15 MINUTES IS BASICALLY RIFFING. Judy and Linda stall for fall by watching four classic Kdramas from 2000-2010!
Next week, we continue to stall for fall by trying out "Full House" (풀하우스), "Princess Hours" (궁), "Master's Sun" (주군의 태양) and "The Heirs" (왕관을 쓰려는 자, 그 무게를 견뎌라 – 상속자들).
Digressions:
1:22 - New Patreon donor!
1:40 - Judy, like a fool, thought that she could just enjoy the candy-coloured Pixar movie, "Luca" without crying. Check it out!
6:01 - "Autumn in My Heart" (가을동화) is a ridiculously popular KBS melodrama from 2000, starring Song SeungHun, Song HyeKyo and Won Bin. Who knew we would scream so much while watching it?
17:53 - "Winter Sonata" (겨울연가) is the next offering from the creators of "Autumn in My Heart". Bae YongJun and Choi JiWoo are decidedly not young enough to play teenagers, but here we are. If you want to visit Nami island, the tourist attraction that Linda talks about, it's only about 50km away from Seoul!
28:02 - "Coffee Prince" (커피프린스 1호점) is a MBC reverse harem drama, starring Gong Yoo, Yoon EunHye and Lee SunKyun. Gong Yoo's character is your typical rich pretty boy who mooches off his family, while Yoon EunHye's character is more spunky and fun!
35:07 - "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" (내 여자친구는 구미호) is a 2010 SBS fantasy drama. Lee SeungGi's character is a poor imitation of Gong Yoo's character from "Coffee Prince". Shin MinAh proves that she has always been frigging gorgeous.
Some Korean terms:
시장: [shi-jang] marketplace.
국밥: [guk-bap] meat and vegetable stew with rice.
과학고: [gwa-hak-go] science high school.
