Judy and Teresa croak and sniffle their way through episodes 9-10 of " Black Knight (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee.
This week's episodes would draw us in with tense dramatic moments and then immediately ruin the mood with soap opera nonsense. Judy is loving the oh-so-convenient friendship between Sharon (Seo JiHye), Jihoon (Kim HyunJoon) and Gon (Park SungHoon). Those three really need all the social support they can get. Teresa is amused by Sharon's newfound interest in frying pans and wants her to start accessorizing all the time with them. How can we get a special episode focusing just on Sharon and Becky's (Jang MiHee) adventures through time?
Guys, body heat.
Did you just shudder? We did.
