Happy Valentine's Day! Judy and Teresa delve into the characters' tragic past lives in episodes 5-6 of " Black Knight (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee.
Judy and Teresa theorize that Sooho (Kim RaeWon) is a 모태솔로 (Korean term for someone who’s never dated), which would explain his dead fish kiss and his idea of romance in general. Judy thinks past Sooho and past Haera (Shin SeKyung) confirmed their love after he gave her the ring while Teresa didn't quite get that far. Teresa has never heard of "power blogging" and wonders if that's an actual thing.

Judy and Teresa slog through episodes 3-4 of " Black Knight (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee.
Judy decides to suffer from selective amnesia whenever Haera (Shin SeKyung) and Sooho (Kim RaeWon) have a conversation. She finds Gon (Park SungHoon) is more appealing than Sooho, who is, frankly, a manipulative douchebag. Teresa is the better person and gives Sooho and even Sharon (Seo JiHye) the benefit of the doubt, despite their shady conduct.
Some Korean terms:
설레네요: [seol-leh-neh-yo] I'm excited (looking forward to something).
찜질방: [jjim-jil-bang] sauna bathhouse.
