Judy and Teresa are filled with nostalgia while watching episodes 7-8 of “Go Go Waikiki” (으라차차 와이키키), a JTBC drama starring Kim JungHyun, Lee YiKyung, Song SeungWon, Jung InSun, Go WonHee and Lee JooWoo.
Judy and Teresa are disappointed that Sooah (Lee JooWoo) is part of the main cast now, especially now that she's reverted from being a mature adult to a spoiled brat. We also realize that Yoonah (Jung InSun) never has any internal dialogue that lets us know what's going on inside her head, which is weird for a main character. Judy insists that Lee YiKyung, who plays Joonki, is doing a slight impression of Lee DukHwa, the actor who played his father in a previous episode. Is everyone else weirded out by how much DongGoo (Kim JungHyun) likes Yoonah all of a sudden?
