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.

info_outlineHALLO~! Happy New Year! It's time to catch up with Judy and Linda.
Our next episode will be a First Impressions episode with "The Glory" (더 글로리) starring Song HyeKyo, "Under the Queen's Umbrella" (슈룹) starring Kim HyeSoo and "The Interest of Love" (사랑의 이해) starring Yoo YeonSeok and Moon GaYoung.
Digressions:
1:34 - Listener E-mails!
19:25 - Surprisingly, Linda is enjoying "Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area" (종이의 집: 공동경제구역) and now the second season is out.
23:09 - Judy was disappointed by the Netflix show, "Korea No. 1" (코리아넘버원) with Yoo JaeSuk, Lee Kwang Soo and Kim YeonKoung. For a show that's supposed to impress you with the skill of master artisans, it focuses too much on the squabbling between the cast members.
26:44 - Linda finally tried "Community" and loves the first four seasons. Judy is ecstatic. Everyone should watch it, we say!
28:20 - "Andor" is Judy's favourite show from 2022. The struggles of regular people against the vast Empire in the Star Wars universe is portrayed in a way that makes the danger palpable and relatable.
30:06 - Linda binged the new popular series, "Wednesday" and found it to be good fun!
31:20 - Judy and Robert watched "Dragon Age: Absolution", an animated show on Netflix. It takes place soon after the events of the video game, "Dragon Age: Inquisition". Psst, Judy talked about the video game in KDMEO episode 181!
34:37 - Linda watched "Matilda the Musical" that was just released on Netflix and really enjoyed it.
37:17 - "Pentiment" is an excellent video game from Obsidian Entertainment and Judy wishes more people had played it for its deep dive into art, religion and faith in the Renaissance era. The VOD of Judy's playthrough is now up on Youtube.
41:38 - Linda's favourite kpop group, NCT DREAM, has remade the first generation kpop classic, "Candy". Click here to watch their music video. Then click here to watch H.O.T's remastered video.
43:30 - Judy is currently playing as a 1940s detective in "L.A. Noire" and is constantly wondering if she's doing it right.
50:04 - Judy and Linda check out some Kdrama trailers to pick out the candidates for the First Impressions episode.
