KDMEO Episode 196 - SGNS (힘쎈여자 강남순) 3-6 11/08/2023

KDMEO Episode 196 - SGNS (힘쎈여자 강남순) 3-6 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 Netflix for a fun, easy watch! 2:36 - Judy didn't realize that she would get so into "Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators", but the documentary series does a great job of giving the cast the spotlight they deserve. 5:01 - "Renfield" is a weird gory movie about Dracula's put upon familiar. Nicolas Cage is his wacky self and Nicholas Hoult is great, as usual. Some Korean terms: 간이식: [gan-ee-sik] liver transplant; sounds like 강희식 [gang-hee-sik]. 빵: [ppang] bread. 군소: [goon-so] sea hare. Audio credits: Lorne Balfe - "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" - "Thick As Thieves" Snap! - "Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators" - "The Power" Marco Beltrami - "Renfield" - "Renfield Blues" Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).

KDMEO Episode 195 - Strong Girl Nam Soon (힘쎈여자 강남순) 1-2 10/25/2023

KDMEO Episode 195 - Strong Girl Nam Soon (힘쎈여자 강남순) 1-2 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 squees. 26:34 - "Behind Your Touch" (힙하게) is utterly dumb. The punny name isn't even the worst part. 33:33 - Judy watched one episode of "My Lovely Liar" (소용없어 거짓말), starring Kim SoHyun. Good for the production team for swinging a Maserati sponsorship somehow? 36:36 - "The Devil's Plan" (데블스 플랜) is a Korean reality show, featuring brain games. Judy liked "The Genius" better, but is hopeful that future seasons will become more interesting. 41:17 - ***SPOILER ALERT*** Judy watched "Ahsoka" on Disney+, and was less than impressed. Some Korean terms: 미안해요: [mi-an-heh-yo] "Sorry". 입맞춤: [ip-mat-choom] kiss. 뽀뽀: [ppo-ppo] peck, smooch. 비둘기: [bi-dul-gi] pigeon. 미친거 아냐?: [mi-chin-geo-ah-nyah] "Are you crazy?"; "Has it gone mad?" 힙하게: [hip-ha-geh] coolly. 한강: [han-gang] Han River. 무당: [moo-dang] shaman.

KDMEO Episode 194 - DP Season 2 08/16/2023

KDMEO Episode 194 - DP Season 2 HOW DO WE BURN THIS THING DOWN?!?! Judy and Linda discuss the second season of "D.P." (Deserter Pursuit), starring Jung HaeIn, Koo KyoHwan, Son SukKoo, and Kim SungKyun. WARNING: We talk about physical, and emotional abuse, as well as bullying and suicide. Now that we're back to recording regularly, we're trying to find a drama to cover from start to finish. So we'll be back in September with a First Impressions episode to try out "My Lovely Liar" (소용없어 거짓말), "My Dearest" (연인), "Behind Your Touch" (힙하게), and "The Good Bad Mother" (나쁜엄마). Digressions: 0:42 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mail! 3:35 - Linda watched the feel-good movie, "Dream" (드림) starring Park SeoJoon and IU. 5:14 - Judy distracted herself during exercise by watching the first two episodes of "Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938" (구미호뎐 1938). 12:32 - Is Linda too much of a Canuck to understand the saccharine interactions in "Sweet Magnolias" season 3? 14:06 - Judy had to stop watching the first episode of "Heartbeat" (가슴이 뛴다), starring Ok TaecYeon, but not for the reason that you think. Prepare yourself for a rant. 23:29 - Linda finished "See You in My 19th Life" (이번 생도 잘 부탁해), and it did go downhill very quickly. 27:29 - If you want a chill indie game, "Dordogne" is a beautiful watercolour depiction of the French countryside. Just don't expect a deep story arc. 32:12 - Linda feels too old to be watching "The Summer I Turned Pretty". 34:52 - Judy was very disappointed with the Marvel series, "Secret Invasion". What could have been an interesting spy thriller involving aliens who can literally shapeshift became a boring sequence of events centred around a very tired Nick Fury. 41:55 - Linda started watching "Young Sheldon", and is enjoying the slightly more dramatic look into the character's childhood. 43:03 - Judy is hooked on "Only Murders in the Building", starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Some Korean terms: 나팔꽃: [na-pal-ggot] morning glory; literally "trumpet flower". 번들거리다: [beon-deul-geo-ri-da] to glisten. 김밥: [gim-bap] rice roll. 순두부찌개: [soon-doo-boo-jji-geh] soft tofu stew. Audio credits: 하현상 (Ha HyunSang) - "드림" (Dream) 2PM - "Heartbeat" Nickel Creek - "Destination" Supernaive - "Dordogne" - "Mimi" Zachary Dawes - "The Summer I Turned Pretty" - "Belly Looks in the Mirror (Cousins)" Kris Bowers - "Secret Invasion" - "Nick Fury (Main Theme)" Siddhartha Khosla - "Only Murders in the Building" - "Main Title" Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).

KDMEO Episode 193 - Summer Catch Up 07/12/2023

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 . 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].

KDMEO Episode 192 - Winter Catch Up 01/03/2023

KDMEO Episode 192 - Winter Catch Up HALLO~! 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 . 41:38 - Linda's favourite kpop group, NCT DREAM, has remade the . Click here to watch their music video. Then click here to watch . 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. Some Korean terms: 국뽕: [gook-ppong] slang for national pride. Audio credits: 김태성 (Kim TaeSung) - "Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area" (종이의 집: 공동경제구역) - "Opening Theme" The 88 - "At Least It Was Here" Nicholas Britell - "Andor" - "Main Title" Danny Elfman & Chris Bacon - "Wednesday" - "Main Titles" Penka Kouneva - "Dragon Age: Absolution" - "Opening Credits" Tim Minchin - "Matilda the Musical" - "School Song" Alkemie Early Music Ensemble - "Pentiment" - "Sister Amalie's First Vision" NCT DREAM - "Candy" Andrew Hale - "L.A.

KDMEO Episode 191 - Girls' Generation Theme Show! 11/04/2022

KDMEO Episode 191 - Girls' Generation Theme Show! INCEST? IS IT INCEST?! It's a Girls' Generation-themed episode, featuring "If You Wish Upon Me" (당신이 소원을 말하면) starring SooYoung, "Jinxed At First" (징크스의 연인) starring SeoHyun and "Good Job" (굿잡) with YuRi. Digressions: 2:05 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mails! 20:40 - For Halloween, Judy streamed "Call of Cthulhu", a 2018 game on her Twitch channel (twitch.tv/ladyjutea). For eldritch horror that makes you question your perception of reality, check it out! 22:40 - Linda finished season 3 of "Derry Girls" and is sad that the show is done! When will we get another fun nostalgic show? 24:02 - Judy and Linda suddenly become variety show experts and critique "Young Actors' Retreat" (청춘MT). 32:15 - Linda is very into IU's music right now. It's very good! There's nothing else to say about that. 34:03 - "If You Wish Upon Me" (당신이 소원을 말하면) is a feel good drama from KBS, and stars SooYoung, Ji ChangWook and Sung DongIl. It is literally our favourite out of the three we checked out. Good for you, SooYoung! 44:09 - "Good Job" (굿잡) is a heist drama, starring YuRi and Jung IlWoo. All we have to say about this show is: EAGLE VISION. 55:32 - "Jinxed At First" (징크스의 연인) is a fantasy ?romance from KBS2, starring SeoHyun and Na InWoo. It is one of the most nonsensical things we have ever seen. 1:12:05 - We skim through the list of kdramas coming out in November and are unimpressed. Some Korean terms: 내숭: [neh-soong] coy. 천재: [cheon-jeh] genius. Audio credits: Markus Schmidt - "Call of Cthulhu" - "Hospital #3" Spice Girls - "Who Do You Think You Are" IU - "Lilac" Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).

KDMEO Episode 190 - Extraordinary Attorney Woo (이상한 변호사 우영우) 09/21/2022

KDMEO Episode 190 - Extraordinary Attorney Woo (이상한 변호사 우영우) PUT 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. ^_^;; Some Korean terms: 이상한: [ee-sang-han] weird. 이상: [ee-sang] beyond. 매국노: [meh-gook-no] traitor that has sold out one's country. 할머니: [hal-meo-nee] grandma. 번데기 앞에서 주름잡네: [beon-deh-ghee-ap-eh-seo-joo-reum-jap-neh] literally "showing off wrinkles in front of a larvae"; similar to "teaching a fish to swim". 물광: [mool-gwang] dewy.

KDMEO Episode 189 - My Liberation Notes (나의 해방일지) 06/29/2022

KDMEO Episode 188 - Little Forest (리틀 포레스트) 06/06/2022

KDMEO Episode 187 - Spring 2022 First Impressions 05/11/2022

KDMEO Episode 187 - Spring 2022 First Impressions YOWZA. ANYONE ELSE NEED CHEERING UP? Judy and Linda watched a bunch of kdramas for spring First Impressions! For our next episode, we're going to watch 2018's "Little Forest" (리틀 포레스트), starring Kim TaeRi, Ryu JunYeol and Moon SoRi. Digressions: 1:38 - Listener E-mails! 12:13 - Judy and Linda were properly destroyed by "Encanto" from Pixar. 15:11 - "Malcolm in the Middle" is on Disney+ and Judy loves it so much. 16:26 - Judy tried out "Search: WWW" (검색어를 입력하세요 WWW) and is intrigued. 17:52 - "Business Proposal" (사내 맞선) is an SBS romantic comedy based on a webtoon, which started off promising but then devolved into typical trope-y nonsense. Kim SeJeong, Seol InAh and Kim MinGyu are fantastic and we will continue to follow their work, but the latter half of this was decidedly disappointing. 25:07 - "Our Blues" (우리들의 블루스) is a TVN series in omnibus format, about a small community in Jeju Island. The massive cast is crammed with so many talented actors and we're looking forward to learning more about their characters' individual stories. 37:25 - You can't get any fluffier than "Shooting Stars" (별똥별), a TVN series starring Lee SungKyung and Kim YoungDae. It's an easy watch, if you just want to watch Lee SungKyung being charming as heck. 44:38 - "My Liberation Notes" (나의 해방일지) is a super relatable and depressing drama from JTBC, starring Kim JiWon, Lee El, Lee MinKi and Son SeokKoo. Don't get us wrong. The cast is wonderful and we are loving it, but wow does it get us down. Some Korean terms: 사극: [sa-geuk] historical drama. 기러기 아빠: [gi-reo-gi-ah-ppa] literally "goose father"; term for fathers left behind in Korea while the mothers and children move overseas for education purposes. 형님: [hyung-nim] respectful way of addressing older male friends from men. 뭐라고 하지: [mweo-ra-go-ha-ji] "Whaddya call it".

KDMEO Mini-Episode - Melo Is My Nature (멜로가 체질) 04/27/2022

KDMEO Episode 186 - Twenty-Five, Twenty-One (스물다섯, 스물하나) 13-16 04/13/2022

KDMEO Episode 186 - Twenty-Five, Twenty-One (스물다섯, 스물하나) 13-16 WE HAVE THOUGHTS. Judy and Linda mourn episodes 13-16 of "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (스물다섯, 스물하나), starring Kim TaeRi and Nam JooHyuk. It was great while it lasted. Our next episode will be about the popular series, "Business Proposal" (사내 맞선) starring Kim SeJeong, Ahn HyoSeop, Kim MinKyu and Seol InAh. If you have suggestions for the Spring First Impressions episode, you know where you contact us! Digressions: 1:26 - Listener E-mails! 16:22 - Both Judy *and* Linda watched the second season of "Bridgerton". It was definitely better than the first season, but it does become slightly tedious near the end. But the dresses!!! 22:07 - Judy watched "Turning Red", and it was fine. Perhaps Pixar has set our expectations too high, but somehow the ending felt trite to us. Is it too much for an animated movie to fix our real-life issues? 25:19 - Linda is almost done with "Business Proposal" (사내 맞선), and we'll be doing a special episode on it in two weeks. 26:38 - Judy is enjoying the newest looter shooter from 2K, "Tiny Tina's Wonderlands". It's lighthearted goofy fun! Obviously, Judy's main is a Stabbomancer. 28:42 - "Moon Knight" is the newest Marvel series on Disney+. It's disorienting at times (on purpose), but so interesting! 55:25 - What are we gonna watch now? Some Korean terms: 매국노: [meh-gook-no] traitor that has sold out one's country. 짜장면 [jja-jang-myeon]: black bean noodles; a favourite delivery food for Koreans. 이쁜이: [ee-ppeun-ee] cutie. 함부로 말하지마: [ham-boo-roh-mal-ha-jee-ma] "Don't say things you're going to regret"; literally "don't talk recklessly". 싸가지 없어: [ssa-ga-ji-up-suh] impolite; lacking in manners. Audio Credits: Ludwig Goransson - "Turning Red" - "Turning Red" BABYMETAL - "Gimme chocolate!!" (ギミチョコ!!) Hashem Nazih - "Moon Knight" - "Moon Knight" Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).

KDMEO Episode 185 - Twenty-Five, Twenty-One (스물다섯, 스물하나) 9-12 THEIR FORM WASN'T PERFECT BUT THEIR FOLLOW-THROUGH WAS ALRIGHT. Judy and Linda commentate on episodes 9-12 of "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (스물다섯 스물하나), starring Kim TaeRi and Nam JooHyuk. Digressions: 1:49 - Listener E-mails! There may be some "Boys Over Flowers" ranting. 14:15 - Linda is all caught up on "Business Proposal" (사내 맞선), which is tongue-in-cheek rom-com fun! 16:45 - Judy watched episode 7 of "Thirty, Nine" (서른, 아홉) and HOLY JEEBUS it was tedious and infuriating. We have officially given up on it. 23:32 - Linda has finished watching all of "True Beauty" (여신강림), and it was dumb fun. 25:23 - Judy is playing "Chicken Police - Paint it RED!", a Polish indie video game with surprising depth and production values. If you enjoy film noirs, it might be worth checking out! 28:19 - Linda watched Pixar's latest film, "Turning Red", which is great, but it's missing a little something that she can't quite put her finger on. 30:50 - ***SPOILER WARNING*** Linda watched "Spider-Man: No Way Home", which is fun but not as great as the first two movies starring Tom Holland. 33:03 - On Apple TV+, there's a Broadway production of "Come From Away". Linda LOVED it. 34:15 - "The Adam Project" is a typical fun Ryan Reynolds action movie. 34:32 - Linda usually detests anything to do with "Romeo and Juliet" but she found Steven Spielberg's remake of "West Side Story" watchable for the dancing and singing. 36:17 - Linda tried "How I Met Your Father", and does not recommend it. Some Korean terms: 한국말: [han-gook-mal] Korean. 인절미: [een-jeol-mee] sweet rice cake dusted with roasted soybean powder. 선배: [seon-beh] person in an organization with more experience; opposite of "후배" [hoo-beh]. 느끼함: [neu-ggee-ham] cheesy; corny; greasy. 엿: [yeot] Korean traditional sticky candy made with grains. 퐁퐁: [pong-pong] pompom. 딱밤: [ddak-bam] finger flick usually on the forehead; a punishment used in games. 오징어: [oh-jing-eo] squid.

KDMEO Episode 183 - Twenty-Five, Twenty-One (스물다섯, 스물하나) 2-4 THE WORLD IS ON FIRE. LET US DISTRACT YOU FOR AN HOUR. Judy and Linda spoil episodes 2-4 of "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (스물다섯 스물하나) for special auditor, Brenda! Kim TaeRi and Nam JooHyuk continue to be fantastic in this nostalgic TVN drama. Digressions: 19:07 - Jaurim is a fantastic Korean alt rock band and you should check them out if you want to try something other than Kpop. 31:39 - We run through our mind palace, trying to figure out which song Kim TaeRi is dancing to. 51:57 - Has anyone ever tried that pine drink? What can it possibly taste like? 57:29 - The final lines in episode 4 are translated incorrectly. Netflix or Disney+ needs to hire us as a translation editor. Please please hire us.

KDMEO Episode 182 - Winter 2022 First Impressions 02/23/2022

KDMEO Episode 182 - Winter 2022 First Impressions AH, THE PASSION OF YOUTH! Judy and Linda feel hopeful after trying out some new February K-dramas. Digressions: 0:57 - Listener E-mails! 13:49 - Judy was expecting more Henry Cavill sword fighting from the second season of "The Witcher". 17:09 - Linda watched the second season of "Sweet Magnolias" which is a bit cloying but easy to digest. 19"02 - Judy loves Ali Wong and her latest comedy special, "Don Wong" is out on Netflix! 21:23 - "Forecasting Love and Weather" (기상청 사람들: 사내연애 잔혹사 편) is a JTBC drama set at the Korean Meteorological Administration, of all places. It stars Park MinYoung and Song Kang. It's gotta be funded by KMA, seeing as how they love showing montages of why accurate weather prediction is so important? And graphs. So many graphs. 38:25 - "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (스물다섯 스물하나) is a TVN drama with strong "Reply 1988" vibes. It stars Kim TaeRi and Nam JooHyuk as bright-eyed youths against the background of the 1990s IMF crisis. They are an absolute delight to watch. 50:30 - "Thirty, Nine" (서른, 아홉) stars Son YeJin, Jeon MiDo and Kim JiHyun as a strong-knit group of friends. This TVN slice-of-life drama also has 3 male leads, but who really cares about them? The leading ladies have great chemistry and we're looking forward to what's going to happen next. Some Korean terms: 불륜남: [bool-lyoon-nam] adulterer (male). Audio credits: Joseph Trapanese - "The Witcher: Season 2 OST" - "Kaer Morhen" Nickel Creek - "Destination" Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).

KDMEO Episode 181 - We're back, kinda! 02/09/2022

KDMEO Episode 181 - We're back, kinda! It's all e-mails and midambles, baby! Judy and Linda catch up on a lot of e-mails and random stuff they've been doing for the past 2 months. We'll be doing a First Impressions episode soon, featuring "Thirty, Nine" (서른, 아홉) starring Son YeJin, Jeon MiDo and Kim JiHyun, "Twenty-Five Twenty-One" (스물다섯 스물하나) starring Kim TaeRi and Nam JooHyuk and "Forecasting Love and Weather" (기상청 사람들: 사내연애 잔혹사 편) starring Park MinYoung and Song Kang. 18:36 - Judy watched all of "The Silent Sea" (고요의 바다), starring Gong Yoo, Bae DooNa and Kim SunYoung. Watch out for ***MAJOR SPOILERS*** 21:19-21:50! 24:15 - Linda enjoyed the chemistry between Choi WooSik and Kim DaMi on "Our Beloved Summer" (그 해 우리는), but alas, extraneous nonsense. 38:12 - Judy is loving the absurdity of "What We Do in the Shadows". The first two seasons are now available on Disney+. Check it out if you like Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement's work! 40:25 - Linda and Judy found "Hawkeye" to have a great balance between comedy and drama. Who knew we would look forward to a show starring arguably the worst Avenger? 42:04 - Wow, "Eternals" is bland bland bland. ***MAJOR SPOILERS BUT DO YOU CARE*** at 42:04-44:19. 47:24 - Linda finally finished "Squid Game" (오징어 게임)! We do not like this trend of trying to force shows into multiple seasons. 49:44 - If you haven't started yet, Judy insists that you watch "The Book of Boba Fett". You might think "Where the heck is this going?", but Judy INSISTS. You won't regret it. 50:39 - Linda gave up on the Marvel animated series, "What If?" after 10 minutes. Yeah, don't bother. 51:49 - Judy is a newbie at "Sea of Thieves". Even though there are scary PVP randos around, it's the only chance to kind of be at a beach and eat a coconut, dammit! Also, watch "Master and Commander", you cowards! 58:41 - Linda is sad about the slapdash final season of "Kim's Convenience". Get your stuff together, CBC! 59:40 - Judy needed another Bioware RPG with romance, so obviously she played "Dragon Age: Inquisition"! Who is her DA boyfriend? *psst* He'll never be as good as Garrus. 1:02:29 - Linda rewatched "Anne with an E" and is saddened by its premature end. For heaven's sake, CBC! 1:05:12 - Judy loves the heartwarming stories from "Queer Eye". If you need affirmation that you are good and are worth good things, please try it out. Audio credits: Norma Tanega - "You're Dead" Christophe Beck and Michael Paraskevas - "Hawkeye" - "Hawkeye's Theme" Ramin Djawadi - "Eternals" - "Eternals Theme" Ludwig Goransson - "The Book of Boba Fett" - "Main Title Theme" Robin Beanland - "Sea of Thieves" - "Adventure Awaits" Trevor Morris - "Dragon Age: Inquisition" - "Dragon Age Inquisition Theme" Tragically Hip - "Anne with an E" - "Ahead By A Century" Widelife - "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better)" Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).

KDMEO Episode 180 - Stall for Fall 2 12/01/2021

KDMEO Episode 180 - Stall for Fall 2 KDMEO, WE DON'T KNOW DRUGS. Judy and Linda stall for fall by watching four ridiculously popular Kdramas from 2004-2013! How is every single one of these about a poor dumdum uncovering a rich douchebag's heart of gold? We will be hibernating for December, in hopes that we'll get some dramas worth checking out in 2022. Happy holidays and happy New Year! Digressions: 1:51 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mails! 14:14 - On a whim, Judy tried out "Inspector Koo" (구경이), starring Lee YoungAe. It's pretty watchable and has a great supporting cast. 16:51 - "The Handmaiden" (아가씨) is a hauntingly memorable film. It was directed by Park ChanWook, who also directed the Vengeance series of films. 18:27 - A notorious dictator is dead! Judy celebrated by watching "A Taxi Driver" (택시운전사), a 2017 film about the 1980 Gwangju Uprising. 21:03 - "Arcane" is a Netflix animated series based in the "League of Legends" universe and is an amazing show, even if you have never played the video game. 22:36 - Judy has been walking down the anime nostalgia lane with the 2019 series, "Fruits Basket" (フルーツバスケット). Ignore the stereotypical shoujo fantasy premise and focus on the message about friends, family and helping each other heal from trauma. 25:21 - "The Heirs" (왕관을 쓰려는 자, 그 무게를 견뎌라 – 상속자들) is an SBS drama from 2013, starring Lee MinHo, Park ShinHye, Kim JiWon and Kim WooBin. Ah yes, rich people problems and English-speaking "actors", Judy's favourite things in a drama. 35:50 - "Princess Hours" (궁) is a 2006 MBC drama set in an alternate universe in which Korea has a constitutional monarchy. It stars Yoon EunHye, Ju JiHoon and Song JiHyo. Yoon EunHye is playing pretty much the same character as in "Coffee Prince", a spunky girl who has to save her family from poverty. 43:17 - "Master's Sun" (주군의 태양) is a 2013 SBS drama, starring So JiSub and Gong HyoJin. Linda didn't manage to finish the episode, so Judy struggles to recap the latter half, which is absolutely bonkers. 54:30 - "Full House" (풀하우스) is a 2004 KBS drama, starring Rain and Song HyeKyo. Words cannot adequately express just how awful this drama was. How was this so popular? Some Korean terms: 흙수저: [heuk-soo-jeo] literally "dirt spoon" as compared to "silver spoon"; from an impoverished background. 알바: short for 아르바이트 [ah-reu-bah-ee-teu]; taken from German word, "arbeit", meaning "work"; minimum wage job. 미숫가루: [mi-soot-ga-roo] mixed grain powder that is usually blended with water, ice and sugar to make a summer drink. 범생: [beom-seng] short for "모범생" [mo-beom-seng], meaning "model student". 가채: [ga-che] intricate traditional wig worn by women. 한복: [han-bok] traditional Korean clothing. 사극: [sa-geuk] historical drama. 눈치: [noon-chi] a combination of "tact" and "situational awareness"; to be lacking in "눈치" is an insult. 모자라다: [mo-ja-ra-da] "to be not enough"; "to be slow" if used to describe a person. 제수씨: [jeh-soo-ssi] respectful way of addressing the significant other of a younger brother/friend. Audio credits: TRPP - "Inspector Koo" (구경이) OST - "Yeah (Round and Round)" Jo YeongWook - "The Handmaiden" (아가씨) OST - "The Tree from Mount Fuji" Cho HyeWon - "A Taxi Driver" (택시운전사) OST - "The Customer I Left Behind" (두고 온 손님) Imagine Dragons - "Arcane" - "Enemy" Beverly - "Fruits Basket" (フルーツバスケット) - "Again" Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).

KDMEO Episode 179 - Stall for Fall 1 11/10/2021

KDMEO Episode 179 - Stall for Fall 1 WARNING - 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.

KDMEO Episode 177 - Fall 2021 First Impressions 10/13/2021

KDMEO Episode 177 - Fall 2021 First Impressions HE'S A HACKER, QUESTION MARK?! Judy and Linda try out newer dramas for Fall 2021. We decided to give "D.P." (Deserter Pursuit), starring Jung HaeIn, Koo KyoHwan and Kim SungKyun, its own KDMEO episode. Coming soon! Digressions: 0:47 - New Patreon donors and Listener E-mails! 11:39 - Judy insists that you watch "Seinfeld", now on Netflix, but only from season 2 onwards. 14:29 - Let season 2 of "The Baby-Sitters Club" give you a warm, comforting hug. 15:49 - "Far Cry 6" is out! Judy is new to the franchise and is eager to acquire the so-called Battle Chicken, but will it be enough to stave off the post-Mass Effect depression? 19:04 - Linda really enjoyed "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings", reminiscent of beautiful martial arts movies of old. 23:37 - "Yumi's Cells" (유미의 세포들) is a TVN drama, starring Kim GoEun and An BoHyun. It's based on a 2015 webtoon, which may have been amusing, but the animated bits slow down the pace way too much. Kim GoEun's bangs and An BoHyun's chin scruff are distractingly awful. 30:29 - "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" (갯마을 차차차) is a TVN romantic comedy, starring Shin MinA and Kim SeonHo. Judy remembers the 2004 movie with much fondness. This is an easy watch with two adorable lead actors, so try it out! 39:24 - "Police University" (경찰수업) is an eyeroll-inducing piece from KBS. It stars JinYoung (B1A4), Krystal (f(x)) and Cha TaeHyun, and they can't do anything to help the godawful material. Some Korean terms: 답답하다 [dap-dap-ha-da] to be frustrated. 뽑기 [ppop-gi] candy made with sugar and baking soda; currently super popular due to "Squid Game". Audio credits: Jonathan Wolff - "Seinfeld Theme" Potty Mouth - "I Wanna" DJ Shadow - "Nobody Speak" Joel P West - "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" - "Xu Shang-Chi" "Jurassic Park" - "It's a UNIX system!
