IT'S FARTY TIME. Judy and Linda continue their voluntary self-torture by covering episodes 7-12 of "Strong Girl Nam Soon" (힘쎈여자 강남순), the JTBC drama, starring Lee YooMi, Ong SeongWoo, and Kim JungEun.
Some Korean terms:
나 잡아봐라: [nah-jab-ah-bwa-rah] "Try to catch me!"; this used to be a cringey cliche from Korean dramas in the 80s.
여인천하: [yeo-in-cheon-hah] literally "women's world"; "Ladies of the Palace", a 2001 sageuk about Queen Munjeong; it's one of Judy's favourites and Kim JungEun is terribly hammy in that as well!
10억: [ship-eok] one billion.
힘쓰지마: [him-sseu-ji-ma] "Don't use your strength".
평: [pyeong] measurement of area; 1평 = 3.31m^2 = 35 sq ft; therefore 60평 = 199m^2 = 2100 sq ft

WOMEN DELIVERY PEOPLE? NO F-ING WAY. Judy and Linda continue ranting about episodes 3-6 of "Strong Girl Nam Soon" (힘쎈여자 강남순), the JTBC drama, starring Lee YooMi, Ong SeongWoo, and Kim JungEun.
Digressions:
1:30 - "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" was great, but sadly didn't get enough attention. Check it out on Netflix for a fun, easy watch!
2:36 - Judy didn't realize that she would get so into "Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators", but the documentary series does a great job of giving the cast the spotlight they deserve.
5:01 - "Renfield" is a weird gory movie about Dracula's put upon familiar. Nicolas Cage is his wacky self and Nicholas Hoult is great, as usual.
Some Korean terms:
간이식: [gan-ee-sik] liver transplant; sounds like 강희식 [gang-hee-sik].
빵: [ppang] bread.
군소: [goon-so] sea hare.
Audio credits:
Lorne Balfe - "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" - "Thick As Thieves"

THAT'S NOT HOW SCIENCE WORKS! Judy and Linda dive straight into the first two episodes of "Strong Girl Nam Soon" (힘쎈여자 강남순), the JTBC drama, starring Lee YooMi, Ong SeongWoo, and Kim JungEun.
Digressions:
1:17 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mail!
18:55 - DID YOU KNOW JO JINWOONG WAS IN EPISODE 1 OF "The Good Bad Mother" (나쁜엄마)? Judy squees.
26:34 - "Behind Your Touch" (힙하게) is utterly dumb. The punny name isn't even the worst part.
33:33 - Judy watched one episode of "My Lovely Liar" (소용없어 거짓말), starring Kim SoHyun. Good for the production team for swinging a Maserati sponsorship somehow?
36:36 - "The Devil's Plan" (데블스 플랜) is a Korean reality show, featuring brain games. Judy liked "The Genius" better, but is hopeful that future seasons will become more interesting.
41:17 - ***SPOILER ALERT*** Judy watched "Ahsoka" on Disney+, and was less than impressed.
Some Korean terms:
미안해요: [mi-an-heh-yo] "Sorry".
입맞춤: [ip-mat-choom] kiss.
뽀뽀: [ppo-ppo] peck, smooch.
비둘기: [bi-dul-gi] pigeon.
미친거 아냐?: [mi-chin-geo-ah-nyah] "Are you crazy?"; "Has it gone mad?"
힙하게: [hip-ha-geh] coolly.
한강: [han-gang] Han River.
무당: [moo-dang] shaman.

HOW DO WE BURN THIS THING DOWN?!?! Judy and Linda discuss the second season of "D.P." (Deserter Pursuit), starring Jung HaeIn, Koo KyoHwan, Son SukKoo, and Kim SungKyun.
WARNING: We talk about physical, and emotional abuse, as well as bullying and suicide.
Digressions:
0:42 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mail!
3:35 - Linda watched the feel-good movie, "Dream" (드림) starring Park SeoJoon and IU.
5:14 - Judy distracted herself during exercise by watching the first two episodes of "Tale of the Nine-Tailed 1938" (구미호뎐 1938).
12:32 - Is Linda too much of a Canuck to understand the saccharine interactions in "Sweet Magnolias" season 3?
14:06 - Judy had to stop watching the first episode of "Heartbeat" (가슴이 뛴다), starring Ok TaecYeon, but not for the reason that you think. Prepare yourself for a rant.
23:29 - Linda finished "See You in My 19th Life" (이번 생도 잘 부탁해), and it did go downhill very quickly.
27:29 - If you want a chill indie game, "Dordogne" is a beautiful watercolour depiction of the French countryside. Just don't expect a deep story arc.
32:12 - Linda feels too old to be watching "The Summer I Turned Pretty".
34:52 - Judy was very disappointed with the Marvel series, "Secret Invasion". What could have been an interesting spy thriller involving aliens who can literally shapeshift became a boring sequence of events centred around a very tired Nick Fury.
41:55 - Linda started watching "Young Sheldon", and is enjoying the slightly more dramatic look into the character's childhood.
43:03 - Judy is hooked on "Only Murders in the Building", starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez.
Some Korean terms:
나팔꽃: [na-pal-ggot] morning glory; literally "trumpet flower".
번들거리다: [beon-deul-geo-ri-da] to glisten.
김밥: [gim-bap] rice roll.
순두부찌개: [soon-doo-boo-jji-geh] soft tofu stew.
Audio credits:

Judy and Linda are finally back to catch up on some e-mails and give their First Impressions of "The Glory" (더 글로리), "Under the Queen's Umbrella" (슈룹), and "The Interest of Love" (사랑의 이해).
The next episode will be about season 2 of "D.P." (Deserter Pursuit), starring Jung HaeIn, Koo KyoHwan, Son SeokKoo and Kim SungKyun.
Sorry about audio issues with Judy's microphone!
Digressions:
2:43 - New Patreon donors and Listener E-mails!
33:40 - Judy recently played the "Resident Evil 4" remake, and had such a fun time fighting zombies and ineffectively flirting with hotties. You can check out VOD of her playthrough on Youtube.
37:04 - Linda has caught up on all seasons of "The Crown", and needs everyone to go to therapy.
39:28 - Linda also watched both "Enola Holmes" movies, and had a fun time. If only there was more of Henry Cavill!
40:53 - ***SPOILER ALERT*** Gasp! Linda is actually watching a K-drama? She started off liking "See You in My 19th Life" (이번 생도 잘 부탁해), but is not liking that the main characters have already gotten together.
46:01 - "The Interest of Love" (사랑의 이해) is a JTBC drama starring Yoo YeonSeok and Moon GaYoung, as bank staff who can't be together for some reason. I just typed that and immediately yawned.
54:46 - "Under the Queen's Umbrella" (슈룹) is a Netflix sageuk, starring Kim HyeSoo and Kim HaeSook. Judy was heartily annoyed by historical inaccuracies and Linda was simply bored.
59:53 - Finally, we talk about the revenge saga, "The Glory" (더 글로리) starring Song HyeKyo and Lim JiYeon. As bingeworthy as it was at the time of airing, the ending unfortunately left a bad taste in our mouths. If anyone at Netflix is paying attention, we don't need a second season of Song HyeKyo and Lee DoHyun getting revenge on the guy in jail, thanks. For an infinitely better revenge tale, read "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexandre Dumas (the unabridged version, Judy insists).
Some Korean terms:
아줌마: [ah-jum-ma] way to address an older woman.
o: [ee-eung] In "The Glory", the character of Lim JiYeon's mother is named 홍영애. In Korean fortunetelling, both "ㅎ" and "ㅇ" count as the same letter, which made her the most dangerous to Lim JiYeon, according to the shaman.
선배: [seon-beh] person in an organization with more experience; opposite of "후배" [hoo-beh].
Audio credits:
2PM - "Heartbeat"
Kota Suzuki - "Resident Evil 4" (2023) - "Baile de la Muerte"
Hans Zimmer - "The Crown" - "Main Title"

HALLO~! Happy New Year! It's time to catch up with Judy and Linda.
Our next episode will be a First Impressions episode with "The Glory" (더 글로리) starring Song HyeKyo, "Under the Queen's Umbrella" (슈룹) starring Kim HyeSoo and "The Interest of Love" (사랑의 이해) starring Yoo YeonSeok and Moon GaYoung.
Digressions:
1:34 - Listener E-mails!
19:25 - Surprisingly, Linda is enjoying "Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area" (종이의 집: 공동경제구역) and now the second season is out.
23:09 - Judy was disappointed by the Netflix show, "Korea No. 1" (코리아넘버원) with Yoo JaeSuk, Lee Kwang Soo and Kim YeonKoung. For a show that's supposed to impress you with the skill of master artisans, it focuses too much on the squabbling between the cast members.
26:44 - Linda finally tried "Community" and loves the first four seasons. Judy is ecstatic. Everyone should watch it, we say!
28:20 - "Andor" is Judy's favourite show from 2022. The struggles of regular people against the vast Empire in the Star Wars universe is portrayed in a way that makes the danger palpable and relatable.
30:06 - Linda binged the new popular series, "Wednesday" and found it to be good fun!
31:20 - Judy and Robert watched "Dragon Age: Absolution", an animated show on Netflix. It takes place soon after the events of the video game, "Dragon Age: Inquisition". Psst, Judy talked about the video game in KDMEO episode 181!
34:37 - Linda watched "Matilda the Musical" that was just released on Netflix and really enjoyed it.
37:17 - "Pentiment" is an excellent video game from Obsidian Entertainment and Judy wishes more people had played it for its deep dive into art, religion and faith in the Renaissance era. The VOD of Judy's playthrough is now up on Youtube.
41:38 - Linda's favourite kpop group, NCT DREAM, has remade the first generation kpop classic, "Candy". Click here to watch their music video. Then click here to watch H.O.T's remastered video.
43:30 - Judy is currently playing as a 1940s detective in "L.A. Noire" and is constantly wondering if she's doing it right.
50:04 - Judy and Linda check out some Kdrama trailers to pick out the candidates for the First Impressions episode.
Some Korean terms:
국뽕: [gook-ppong] slang for national pride.
