HOW DO YOU HAVE MORE ENDINGS THAN RETURN OF THE KING? Judy and Teresa stressball their way through episodes 13-16 of “Crash Landing On You” (사랑의 불시착), a TVN romantic comedy starring Son YeJin and Hyun Bin.
Linda couldn't join us for this recording, but you can head over to read her essay about these episodes on a special public post on our Patreon page: patreon.com/kdramamyeyesout
If you were dismayed at the prospect of listening to us dissect 6.5 hours of drama, you'll be glad to know that we were able to condense it down to 72 minutes. That's how you do it, TVN!
Our next drama will be "Hospital Playlist" (슬기로운 의사생활), starring Jo JungSuk, Yoo YeonSeok, Jung KyungHo, Kim DaeMyung and Jeon MiDo. Don't worry, we'll still put out Mini-Episodes for "Kingdom" Season 2!

KOREANS LOVE KICKS AND THEY LOVE REVENGE. David and Robert join Judy and Teresa to talk about the first 2 eps of "Kingdom" (킹덤) Season 2, a Netflix mini-series starring Ju JiHoon and Bae DooNa.
Robert helpfully decides to angle for a craft beer sponsorship. David wants a beard desperately and also lends us professional insight about cinematography. Judy feels like the Crown Prince's (Ju JiHoon) sudden turn to revenge mode is abandoning his arc from Season 1 about saving his subjects from the zombie threat. Teresa posits a theory about how someone figured out how to use the immortal flower to create zombies.
Our next episode about the finale episodes of "Crash Landing On You" will be just Judy and Teresa, because Linda couldn't join us because of social distancing. Please be patient with us while we figure out a way to record together.
