Best out-of-context quote of this week: "We're better at murder than they are!" Judy and Teresa scoff at episodes 15-16 of "Black Knight” (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee.

Why are Sooho (Kim RaeWon) and Haera (Shin SeKyung) so determined to not acknowledge Sharon's (Seo JiHye) dangerous nature? Do you find it weird that both Sooho and Haera's moms died from "shock" like the show is implying that women just lose the will to live when their partners die? And yet, "marriage is a tomb" is tossed out like it's a funny line.

 

Digressions:

3:22 - Teresa's CSI methodology

5:55 - KDMEO is not sponsored by Dyson!

41:55 - Word roots in some Asian languages

1:21:06 - Haircut for David 

1:30:35 - We analyze Sooho's stab wound

 

Tally of superpowers so far: (bold = newly revealed this week)

Becky: immortality, everlasting youth, super strength, ability to wish good luck (on Sooho)

Sharon: immortality, everlasting youth, making clothes that bestow good luck (on Haera), telekinesis, Mystique-like ability to steal one's appearance, power to inspire greed

Haera: ability to curse using the power of the moon

Sooho: luck, magical protection from a "loving heart", power of winning “rock, paper, scissors”

 

Some Korean terms:

한복: [han-bok] traditional Korean clothes.

박사: [bak-sa] person who has a PhD.

도박: [do-bak] gambling.
