BEHOLD LINDA'S FURY. Judy and Linda try out older dramas suggested by our Patreon donors. Thank you for prompting us to try out shows that were on the back burner.
Our Spring First Impressions episode will feature "Sisyphus: The Myth" (시지프스), "Vincenzo" (빈센조), "Mouse" (마우스), "Navillera" (나빌레라) and "River Where the Moon Rises" (달이 뜨는 강).
Digressions:
6:39 - STOP AAPI HATE.
16:21 - Judy is uplifted by the "Feel the Rhythm of Korea" videos from Korea Tourism Organization. Check them out here!
20:46 - *NO spoilers* We're having fun watching "Falcon and the Winter Soldier"!
22:41 - Judy enjoyed the female friendships in "Hustlers". Jennifer Lopez, WOWZA.
24:46 - Linda rewatched "Little Women" and liked it better than the first time.
26:15 - Judy likes Andy Samberg and she likes "Palm Springs"
28:51 - Linda is loving the lightness of "The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers" series on Disney+
31:57 - "My Mister" (나의 아저씨) is a depressingly realistic drama from TVN (2018), starring IU and Lee SunKyun. There's excellent acting all round and Lee SunKyun's voice is delectable, but we were so crushed by the experience that we don't know if we can continue.
41:44 - "Stranger" (비밀의 숲) is a 2017 TVN drama about - surprise, surprise - corruption in the justice system. It stars Cho SeungWoo as a partially lobotomized (?!) prosecutor and Bae DooNa as a kickass detective!
47:59 - We were both surprised by how much we liked "Melo is My Nature" (멜로가 체질), a 2019 JTBC slice of life drama about a group of friends in their 30s. If you haven't seen it yet, you should check it out for the witty banter and touching moments.
56:39 - "You're Beautiful" (미남이시네요) is a 2009 SBS drama from Park ShinHye, Jang GeunSuk and Lee HongKi. It's part of the terrible trend in the 2000s where every romantic comedy tried to be "Boys Over Flowers".

JUST LIGHTLY TOSS THE KID ASIDE, FFS!!! Judy and Linda do their utmost to put off talking about episodes 13-16 of "The Uncanny Counter" (경이로운 소문), a supernatural action comedy from OCN, starring Jo ByungGyu, Kim SeJeong, Yoon JoonSang and Yeom HyeRan.
I'm not even going to bother writing a blurb about the finale episodes here. Instead, I'll tell you about our special episode, for which our Patreon donors suggested older dramas for us to talk about! In episode 169, we'll be talking about "My Mister" (나의 아저씨), "Melo is My Nature" (멜로가 체질), "Stranger" (비밀의 숲) and "You're Beautiful" (미남이시네요).
Digressions:
3:25 - ***SPOILER ALERT**** Judy and Linda watched "Minari", starring Steven Yeun, Han YeRi and Yoon YuhJung
17:07 - ***SPOILER ALERT*** Judy and Linda loved "WandaVision". Talk about a clever series that actually plans out things ahead of time!
23:44 - Judy finally caved and watched "Little Women" (2019) starring Saoirse Ronan. She liked it, almost as much as the 1994 version!
26:58 - Linda watched "Soul" and was emotionally destroyed
29:28 - Judy found "Mary, Queen of Scots" very pretty to look at. Mary, Queen of Scots is still unlikable as ever, though.

HOW ARE THE DEMONS THE SMARTEST PEOPLE IN THIS? Judy and Linda need help understanding episodes 9-12 of "The Uncanny Counter" (경이로운 소문), a supernatural action comedy from OCN, starring Jo ByungGyu, Kim SeJeong, Yoon JoonSang and Yeom HyeRan.
You can really see the writer making things up on the fly in these episodes. If you already hit all these plot points, what can you possibly have left in the final four? Linda gives some ominous hints about what's coming in the finale.
Digressions:
0:56 - Listener E-mails!
3:32 - We really want to watch "Minari" starring Steven Yeun, Han YeRi and Yoon YuhJung
18:16 - Judy was very much intrigued by "I, Tonya" starring Margot Robbie
20:59 - Linda found "The Queen's Gambit" surprisingly easy to watch, even with all the chess.
23:59 - Judy is obsessed with Sunmi's latest song "Tail" (꼬리). Original music video is great, but also make sure to check out the performance video!
