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.

 
Now that we're back to recording regularly, we're trying to find a drama to cover from start to finish. So we'll be back in September with a First Impressions episode to try out "My Lovely Liar" (소용없어 거짓말), "My Dearest" (연인), "Behind Your Touch" (힙하게), and "The Good Bad Mother" (나쁜엄마).
 

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.
