Judy and Linda are falling into episodes 3-4 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi.

Judy and Linda are concerned about Koreans' attitudes towards dating and marriage. Doesn't anyone get married because they actually genuinely enjoy each other's company? These two episodes also happened to coincide with the #MeToo campaign, which was bitterly apropos, considering the BS that Jiho (Jung SoMin) and Sooji (Esom) have to go through.

 

Some Korean terms:

눈치: [noon-chi] a combination of "tact" and "situation awareness"; to be lacking in "눈치" is an insult.

무뚝뚝한: [moo-ddook-ddook-han] terse. 

사모님: [sa-mo-nim] way to address the wife of a boss; "Madam".

매력적인: [meh-ryeok-jeok-in] alluring.

쇼파: [sho-fah] mispronunciation of "sofa".

무표정: [moo-pyo-jeong] blank-faced.

털: [teol] hair; fur.

민: [min] shaven.
