Judy and Linda climb up Maslow's hierarchy of needs as they talk about episodes 9-10 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi.
Apparently every single character has facial blindness, because no one recognizes Boknam (Kim MinKyu), even though he was all over the place at Jiho (Jung SoMin) and Sehee's (Lee MinKi) wedding. Judy and Linda roll their eyes aggressively at the Smug Marrieds (Bam! Bridget Jones' Diary reference!) and also sympathize with Horang (Kim GaEun) for wanting to fit into "normal" society. Judy begins to question Sehee's appeal as a romantic partner.
