WHERE'S YOUR PANIC BUTTON? Judy and Linda worry about their own mental health after watching episodes 1-4 of "Daily Dose of Sunshine" (정신병동에도 아침이 와요), the Netflix drama, starring Park BoYoung.
Digressions:
0:57 - Listener E-mail!
2:49 - Judy watched "12.12: The Day" (서울의 봄) starring Hwang JungMin and Jung WooSung about the 1979 coup d'etat in South Korea.
5:27 - Linda finished watching "Hwarang" (화랑) starring Park HyungSik and Park SeoJoon and found it to be a fun watch as long as you ignore Go ARa.
6:58 - Judy's first book of the year was "Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982" (82년생 김지영) by Cho Nam-Joo. It's a stark and matter-of-fact depiction of the gender gap in South Korea.
11:25 - Continuing down the Park HyungSik hole, Linda watched "Happiness" (해피니스) from 2021, and found it to be more interesting than the typical zombie fare.
