DON'T THINK ABOUT IT. Judy, Linda and Teresa are forced to suspend their disbelief for episodes 7-10 of “Vagabond” (배가본드), an SBS action thriller starring Lee SeungGi and Bae Suzy.
Teresa is still struggling to accept the wackiness of this drama, whereas Judy and Linda have embraced it wholeheartedly. Judy is annoyed that the drama has pulled a switcheroo with Haeri (Bae Suzy); instead of an "Alias"-like competent spy, we have a novice agent who gets ignored by her team. Linda alleges that Suzy fans want to see her in the same approachable girl-next-door roles forever. Let her grow as an actor, for heaven's sake!
We have so many questions this episode:
1) Why is Haeri so obsessed with high-fives?
2) Why are the President and Prime Minister comparing pee streams? Is this a common thing men do?
3) Why does Subway have a pizza sub? What's it like? Someone eat it and tell us!
Glossary of nicknames we've given to some characters:
Chief Sadsack - Chief Gang (Lee GiYoung), the bespectacled ally/mentor for Haeri.
Sadface (aka Rockface) - Chief Gi (Shin SungRok), the rules-obsessed NIS officer who is maybe the second lead of this drama
Scarface - Jerome (Yoo TaeOh), the assassin who blows up the plane.
Digressions:
2:30 - When the Camellia Blooms
5:46 - Listener E-mail!
1:01:33 - Why are eggs so important in Korea?
1:21:37 - Pizza Sub, the newest abomination from Subway
Some Korean terms:
썸: [sseom] flirting without commitment.
짓이기다: [jit-ni-gi-da] to crush violently.

EVERYTHING HAPPENS. Judy, Linda and Teresa whirl through episodes 3-6 of “Vagabond” (배가본드), an SBS action thriller starring Lee SeungGi and Bae Suzy.
This week, we are introduced to a whole slew of characters. Will they live up to their potential? As goofy as this drama is, DalGeon (Lee SeungGi) is doing his best to remind us that the impetus for all of his actions is grief for his nephew. We're curious how good Haeri's (Bae Suzy) Arabic is, so if any of our listeners speak Arabic, let us know!
Now that we're getting more and more into the drama, it's time to start giving characters nicknames! Here's a glossary so far:
Chief Sadsack - Chief Gang (Lee GiYoung), the bespectacled ally/mentor for Haeri.
Sadface (aka Rockface) - Chief Gi (Shin SungRok), the rules-obsessed NIS officer who is maybe the second lead of this drama?
Scarface - Jerome (Yoo TaeOh), the assassin who blows up the plane.
Digressions:
1:35 - We watched one episode of "Love Alarm"
3:28 - We binged the first episode of "Derry Girls"
4:45 - Listener E-mails!
8:03 - Minnesota, the 11th Canadian province?
1:06:21 - When to switch from formal to informal Korean
Some Korean terms:
대한민국, 그렇게 허술하지 않아: [dae-han-min-gook-geu-rut-keh-huh-sool-ha-ji-an-ah] "Korea isn't that lax", which is very different from "Your country [Korea] has what it takes."
싸가지 없어: [ssa-ga-ji-up-suh] impolite; lacking in manners.
