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.

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. ^_^;;

WUTHERING HEIGHTS IS FULL OF GARBAGE PEOPLE. Judy and Linda ponder JTBC's "My Liberation Notes" (나의 해방일지), starring Kim JiWon, Lee El, Lee MinKi and Son SeokKoo.
We really enjoyed watching this quiet contemplative drama, for its realistic portrayal of depression and ennui. Even though the final episode may have been more vague than we would have liked, we definitely recommend checking this out.
We're going on a summer break, but may be back if there's anything that catches our eye. Let us know if you want us to check something out!
Digressions:
0:50 - Listener E-mails!
11:45 - Linda watched "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" and found it entertaining but odd.
13:47 - Judy finished "Our Blues" (우리들의 블루스) and it was great. The actors are fantastic, and even though the individual stories start off depressing, they all end on a lovely hopeful note.
15:56 - Linda and Judy are watching the Disney+ series, "Ms. Marvel", and it's super fun and colourful!
18:38 - Linda started watching "The Morning Show", starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.

TAKE SOME TIME TO DO SOMETHING WHOLLY FOR YOURSELF. Judy and Linda mellow out to 2018's "Little Forest" (리틀 포레스트), starring Kim TaeRi, Ryu JunYeol, Moon SoRi and Jin KiJoo.
Our next episode will be about "My Liberation Notes" (나의 해방일지), starring Kim JiWon, Lee El, Lee MinKi and Son SeokKoo.
Digressions:
1:32 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mails!
14:08 - ***NO SPOILERS*** Judy is starry-eyed over brooding Ewan McGregor in "Obi-Wan Kenobi".
18:19 - ***SPOILER ALERT*** Linda and Judy watched all of "Moon Knight" and liked Oscar Isaac in it despite finding the rest of it confusing and somewhat forgettable.
23:34 - Judy watched the miniseries "Why Didn't They Ask Evans?", based on the Agatha Christie novel, and adapted by Hugh Laurie. Check it out if you enjoy an old-fashioned mystery.
43:38 - Click here to watch Kim TaeRi's travel vlog. Sadly no English captions yet!

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.

We were unable to record this weekend, so here's the edited version of a Mini-Episode we posted on Patreon in May 2021 about JTBC's "Melo Is My Nature", starring Chun WooHee, Jeon YeoBeen, Han JiEun and Ahn JaeHong.
"Business Proposal" (사내 맞선) will be incorporated into our Spring 2022 First Impressions episode along with "My Liberation Notes" (나의 해방일지), "Our Blues" (우리들의 블루스) and "Shooting Stars" (별똥별).
Audio Credits:
장범준 (Jang BeomJune) - "Melo Is My Nature" - "흔들리는 꽃들 속에서 네 샴푸향이 느껴진거야" (Your Shampoo Scent In The Flowers)

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.

Ludwig Goransson - "Turning Red" - "Turning Red"
BABYMETAL - "Gimme chocolate!!" (ギミチョコ!!)

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.

ANOTHER EPISODE ALREADY?! Judy and Linda squeal over episodes 5-8 of "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (스물다섯 스물하나), starring Kim TaeRi and Nam JooHyuk.
Digressions:
1:42 - Listener E-mails! We get some insider information about subtitle translations from our listeners.
14:28~28:43 - ***MAJOR SPOILERS*** Our thoughts on "Thirty, Nine" (서른, 아홉) episode 2-6!

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.

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).

Joseph Trapanese - "The Witcher: Season 2 OST" - "Kaer Morhen"

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.
