Matches are being made! Judy and Teresa want people to act like goddamn adults in episodes 9 and 10 of “Go Go Waikiki” (으라차차 와이키키), a JTBC drama starring Kim JungHyun, Lee YiKyung, Song SeungWon, Jung InSun, Go WonHee and Lee JooWoo.
Judy is indignant at the portrayal of nurses in Korean dramas. Why are they either completely reprehensible human beings or panicky idiots? Teresa promises to babysit Judy's future children for free. All of our listeners are witnesses! We wonder who makes more sense as a couple, Yoonah/Donggoo (Jung InSun/Kim JungHyun) or Seojin/Joonki (Go WonHee/Lee YiKyung)?
Correction: When Judy talks about seaweed soup, she mistakenly says that subtitles for Sooah (Lee JooWoo) were wrong. The subtitles are actually correct. Sooah says that when Doosik was born, his mom celebrated with seaweed soup and a party. Seaweed soup is high in iodine and calcium and is given to new mothers to help recover from giving birth. It's also a traditional dish to eat on one's birthday to give thanks to one's mother's efforts in giving birth.
