KDMEO Episode 193 - Summer Catch Up

Judy and Linda are finally back to catch up on some e-mails and give their First Impressions of "The Glory" (더 글로리), "Under the Queen's Umbrella" (슈룹), and "The Interest of Love" (사랑의 이해).

The next episode will be about season 2 of "D.P." (Deserter Pursuit), starring Jung HaeIn, Koo KyoHwan, Son SeokKoo and Kim SungKyun.

Sorry about audio issues with Judy's microphone!

 

Digressions:  

2:43 - New Patreon donors and Listener E-mails!

33:40 - Judy recently played the "Resident Evil 4" remake, and had such a fun time fighting zombies and ineffectively flirting with hotties. You can check out VOD of her playthrough on Youtube.

37:04 - Linda has caught up on all seasons of "The Crown", and needs everyone to go to therapy.

39:28 - Linda also watched both "Enola Holmes" movies, and had a fun time. If only there was more of Henry Cavill!

40:53 - ***SPOILER ALERT*** Gasp! Linda is actually watching a K-drama? She started off liking "See You in My 19th Life" (이번 생도 잘 부탁해), but is not liking that the main characters have already gotten together.

 

46:01 - "The Interest of Love" (사랑의 이해) is a JTBC drama starring Yoo YeonSeok and Moon GaYoung, as bank staff who can't be together for some reason. I just typed that and immediately yawned. 

 

54:46 - "Under the Queen's Umbrella" (슈룹) is a Netflix sageuk, starring Kim HyeSoo and Kim HaeSook. Judy was heartily annoyed by historical inaccuracies and Linda was simply bored. 

 

59:53 - Finally, we talk about the revenge saga, "The Glory" (더 글로리) starring Song HyeKyo and Lim JiYeon. As bingeworthy as it was at the time of airing, the ending unfortunately left a bad taste in our mouths. If anyone at Netflix is paying attention, we don't need a second season of Song HyeKyo and Lee DoHyun getting revenge on the guy in jail, thanks. For an infinitely better revenge tale, read "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas (the unabridged version, Judy insists).

 

Some Korean terms:  

아줌마: [ah-jum-ma] way to address an older woman.

o: [ee-eung] In "The Glory", the character of Lim JiYeon's mother is named 홍영애. In Korean fortunetelling, both "ㅎ" and "ㅇ" count as the same letter, which made her the most dangerous to Lim JiYeon, according to the shaman.

선배: [seon-beh] person in an organization with more experience; opposite of "후배" [hoo-beh].
