Judy and Linda were amused but also impatient with episodes 25-28 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon.
This week, it's Hyun's (Kang MinHyuk) turn to wrap up his family drama. Just like last week, Judy and Linda find it unbelievable that Hyun's sister, a heartless harpy who wanted to tell people that her father was dead, suddenly turns into a loving daughter who missed her father so much. Hyun's mom is still godawful, though. Judy starts to like Jaegul (Lee SeoWon) more and more for laying some truth bombs on Eunjae (Ha JiWon). Linda makes predictions on how the gunmen attack will end.

This week, Judy and Linda are talking about episodes 21-24 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon, and they cannot believe there are still four weeks left.
Linda is angry about Youngeun's (Wang JiEun) emotional blackmailing of Hyun (Kang MinHyuk) while Judy doesn't think that Eunjae (Ha JiWon) is never given enough time by the writers to show any emotional struggle with this development. Judy and Linda are shocked that the drama states that it's not illegal to operate on one's family member. This better be made up just for the drama.

Judy and Linda can't believe what's going on in episodes 17-20 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon.
Judy and Linda are confused about how Youngeun (Wang JiEun) and Eunjae's dad (Cho SungHa) plan on getting away with their respective scams. Linda is having a lot of trouble imagining Jaegul (Lee SeoWon) actually being a rival for Eunjae's (Ha JiWon) love for many reasons. On the other hand, Judy doesn't really feel passionate love from Hyun (Kang MinHyuk), which is why no one wanted this forced romance in this drama, goddammit.
Some Korean terms:
짝사랑: [jjak-sa-rang] one-sided love.

Judy and Linda are getting whiplash this week from the romantic subplots in episodes 13-16 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선) starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon.
Our desperate wish for Eunjae (Ha JiWon) and Hyun (Kang MinHyuk) to remain supportive friends has been dashed. This week introduces their romantic interest in each other, and then adds two more characters into the mix to form the most slapdash love quadrilateral.
Linda posits that there's a magical portal that transports characters to wherever they conveniently need to be. The scene with Hyun's neverending puns was almost enough to make Judy like Jaegul (Lee SeoWon) more. Linda declares that the flashback with Youngeun (Wang JiEun) and Hyun is the most awkward scene she has ever seen in any Korean drama.
Some Korean terms:
마음이 여리다: [ma-eum-ee-yuh-ree-da] to be tenderhearted.
떨리다: [ddul-lee-da] to be nervous; to tremble.
할아범: [hal-ah-bum] informal way of addressing a grandfather.
멍때리다: [mung-ddeh-ree-da] to space out.
작가: [jak-ga] writer.
간수하다: [gan-soo-ha-da] to guard; to keep safe.
How do you guys feel about this sudden romantic turn in "Hospital Ship"? Did you groan or squeal with delight when Eunjae and Hyun kissed on the seawall? Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook and Twitter (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).
