KDMEO Episode 206 - Queen of Tears (눈물의 여왕)
K-Drama My Eyes Out
AS USUAL, I BLAME CONFUCIUS. Judy and Linda wish they got a more down-to-earth storyline with the same characters from "Queen of Tears" (눈물의 여왕), the tvN drama, starring Kim JiWon and Kim SooHyun. "Miss Night and Day" (낮과 밤이 다른 그녀) is the frontrunner for our next drama to cover. It stars Jung EunJi and Lee JungEun. It looks goofy, but it's the best we got right now. Please let us know what you guys are watching! Digressions: 1:18 - Listener E-mails! 7:00 - Linda watched "Civil War", starring Kirsten Dunst, and found it thoroughly...

KDMEO Audio Commentary - The Sword of Aramun (아라문의 검-아스달 연대기) 1
K-Drama My Eyes Out
How to use this audio track: 1) This is for episode 1 of "The Sword of Aramun" (아라문의 검-아스달 연대기), currently on Disney+. 2) Turn on this track and press play on the episode when Judy and Linda count down, "3, 2, 1!" 3) Enjoy the snark. So much snark.
info_outlinePUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER!!! Judy and Linda were fine with "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" (이상한 우영우), an ENA drama starring Park EunBin and Kang TaeOh.
The drama starts off charming and showcases great acting from the cast, but definitely suffers in the latter half from some nonsensical decisions from the writer.
To celebrate their recent 15th anniversary, we'll be recording a Girls' Generation-themed episode next. So check out the first episodes of "If You Wish Upon Me" (당신이 소원을 말하면) starring SooYoung, "Jinxed At First" (징크스의 연인) starring SeoHyun and "Good Job" (굿잡) with YuRi. Unfortunately we can't figure out where to find YoonA's "Big Mouth" (빅마우스). Also an episode of "Young Actors' Retreat" (청춘MT) for the heck of it.
Digressions:
3:32 - Listener E-mails!
20:29 - "Chorus" was one of the first games Judy streamed on her Twitch channel (twitch.tv/ladyjutea) and had a great time in spite of it taking itself way too seriously.
24:48 - Linda watched the film version of "Dear Evan Hansen" on the plane to Korea and loved it.
26:15 - Judy watched "Assassination" (암살), a period piece set during the Japanese occupation of Korea. It stars Jun JiHyun, Jo JinWoong, Lee JungJae, and apparently every single respected Korean actor.
28:01 - Linda watched the 2018 film, "Swing Kids", starring Do KyungSoo.
29:27 - "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" is the latest Marvel series on Disney+. Judy, as with most things, wishes it was edited tighter.
30:45 - Linda watched all of "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" (갯마을 차차차) and it was cute. That's all there is to say about that.
32:45 - Judy watched "Thor: Love and Thunder" and Christian Bale was the best thing in it. Gasp!
34:39 - Linda's nostalgic love for the original movie was not enough to save the new series, "A League of Their Own".
37:40 - Despite the many bugs and obtuse puzzles, "Sable" is a beautiful indie game about finding your place in the world.
40:01 - "Terminal List" is a graphically violent series out a super soldier going on a revenge mission and why the heck did Linda watch all of it?
44:21 - "Boyfriend Dungeon" was a fun indie combination of a dungeon crawl and dating sim. Of course, Judy dated a kpop singer who can turn into a lightsaber!
47:51 - Linda fell asleep constantly during "Lightyear", which is pretty damning.
49:10 - Judy is currently streaming "Trek to Yomi", in which you play a samurai on a quest to save his village and his love. Check it out on her Twitch channel on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays!
52:58 - Linda celebrated Girls' Generation's 15th anniversary by watching the JTBC show, "소시탐탐" (SoShiTamTam). Check it out if you're nostalgic for Girls' Generation and their fun chemistry!
57:54 - We finally talk about "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" (이상한 변호사 우영우) for 25 minutes. ^_^;;
