When you're on a rampage for vengeance, maybe don't warn your enemies that you're coming. Judy and Teresa yearn for something more from episodes 29-32 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
The most exciting part of this week was when Ms Ma's (Kim YoonJin) knitting needles came back into action. For someone who has literally nothing to do except for solving cases and plot revenge for over a year, Ms Ma doesn't seem to have any dramatic plans for the final confrontation. Also, we don't think that's how you cover up a multiple murder.

We're back! Judy and Teresa finally get to talk about the bonkers penultimate episodes of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
This was a week of switcharoos. There were three (!) cases of body switcharoo as well as a car switcharoo. Believe us when we say that none of these make sense. The drama cobbles together the puzzle of Ms Ma's daughter, but it's so convoluted that no one could possibly come up with the correct solution. You know what, it doesn't really matter, because Ms Ma (Kim YoonJin) is too distracted by the murder of a rando teenager to focus on her own goddamn daughter.

This week's theme is: "That's not how [insert plot device] works!" Judy and Teresa are befuddled by episodes 21-24 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
Kim YoonJin is doing the lord's work this week, portraying both Ms Ma and also the doppleganger Writer. Judy gets disproportionately upset with a piece of jewelry. Teresa wants Ms Ma to adopt Eyeliner Kid (Choi SeungHoon) to form a Revenge Family.
Some Korean terms:

Judy and Teresa's heads are spinning from the twists and turns in episodes 17-20 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
The Actress (Yoon HaeYoung) continues to be a self-absorbed idiot, and her easily preventable death at the end of this week means that she can't even be useful to Ms Ma (Kim YoonJin) as a witness for her daughter's case, so thanks for nothing. The Photographer's (Park MinJi) motives are so vague that her story arc doesn't have the tragic oomph that it deserved.
You know which mystery manga series does tragic backstories very well? Check out "The Kindaichi Case Files". They are GREAT. Judy just keeps forgetting to mention them in the podcast.

Ms Ma is making up for last week's snoozefest by kicking ass! Judy and Teresa are enthralled by episodes 13-16 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
Is Ms Ma's Husband (Song YoungGyu) evil or not? Judy's patience for the Actress' (Yoon HaeYoung) shenanigans is wearing thin. What is up with Officer Bae (Shin Woo)? Is he really a dumbass or is he just pretending? So much information swirling around! We love it.

Sorry about the quality of Judy's voice track this week.
Give us our dinner party murder mystery, dammit! Judy and Teresa were slightly let down by episodes 9-12 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
Teresa is getting suspicious about Ms Ma's husband (Song YoungGyu), who was all sweet supportiveness in previous weeks and now reveals himself as a physically abusive, shady asshole who maybe has hired killers on hand? Judy decides that Mr. Ko (Choi KwangJe) is now her favourite character in this drama. Episode 12 is filled to the brim with useless scenes with random characters doing random stuff. What happened to Ms Ma doing her detective stuff?

"It started crazy and it ended crazy." Judy and Teresa loved the cheesiness of episodes 5-8 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
To listen to us talk about episodes 1-4 of "Ms Ma, Nemesis", check out KDMEO episodes 109 and 112!
Judy is discomfited by the way this drama shows the darker sides of Korea, such as bullying in schools and prejudice against Chinese people of Korean descent. Teresa wonders why the murderer continued to follow through on his original plan, if he heard Ms Ma (Kim YoonJin) predict exactly what he was going to do. Why does Ms Ma leave a sample of her DNA and fingerprints in the police station? There better be a cool twist in later episodes.

Some Korean terms:
팥쥐: [pat-jwee] evil stepsister character from "콩쥐팥쥐" [kong-jwee-pat-jwee], a Korean version of "Cinderella".
조선족: [jo-seon-sok] ethnic Koreans who migrated over to Manchuria/China before 1945; the drama translates this as Chinese-Korean, which is misleading.
