Judy and Teresa get grossed out by episode 3-4 of “Go Go Waikiki” (으라차차 와이키키), a JTBC drama starring Kim JungHyun, Lee YiKyung, Song SeungWon, Jung InSun and Go WonHee.

Judy and Teresa are heartened by the sweet, mature breakup of SooAh (Lee JooWoo) and DongGoo (Kim JungHyun). Judy is jealous of the fancy amenities in the guesthouse. Teresa shows interest in Korean women rappers. She's slowly easing into kpop, guys. We'll get her, just you wait. 

Digressions:

5:13 - Judy and Teresa don't like "The Notebook"

43:38 - Ramen

54:39 - "Hourglass" (모래시계),  a 1990s Korean drama

1:21:50 - A handy guide to not being a sexual harasser 

 

Some Korean terms:

김밥: [gim-bap] rice roll.

 

Audio credits:

MINO, ZICO – "Okey Dokey"

CL – "Hello Bitches"

Choi KyungShik – Hourglass (모래시계) – “Hyerin’s theme”

Judy and Teresa are uplifted by episode 2 of “Go Go Waikiki” (으라차차 와이키키), a JTBC drama starring Kim JungHyun, Lee YiKyung, Song SeungWon, Jung InSun and Go WonHee.

Judy and Teresa reveal their distrust of anyone who's unceasingly pleasant. We also critique JoonGi (Kim JungHyun)'s lying technique. Judy keeps mixing up the names of JoonGi/DongGoo and SooAh/YoonAh a few times in this episode, but you get the gist. There are also so many musical references! 

Digressions:

0:40 - Bonding over the "Animorphs" book series

5:10 - Babies?

35:27 - Chocopie vs Jos Louis

51:45 - How have Teresa and Robert not watched "Old Boy" yet?

 

Some Korean terms:

그루밍족: [geu-roo-ming-jok] literally "grooming tribe"; Korean version of "metrosexual".

아저씨: [ah-juh-ssi] mister.

화장실: [hwa-jang-sil] washroom.

임꺽정: [im-kkuk-jung] a famous Korean bandit from 1500s.

장승업: [jang-seung-up] a Korean painter from 1800s.

 

Audio credits:

Mozart - "Dies Irae"

Andrew Hale - L.A. Noire – “Main Theme”

"Archer" Season 1, Episode 2 - "Training Day"

Judy and Teresa talk about four different Korean dramas this week!

1:23 - "Cross" (크로스) is a TVN drama starring Go KyungPyo and Jun SoMin. We are not very impressed with the main revenge plot, but the cinematography and melodrama does intrigue us enough to continue watching.

17:31 - "Mother" (마더) is another TVN drama that stars Lee BoYoung and Heo Yool. It crushed us so thoroughly that we're going to have to mentally prepare ourselves just to continue watching it.

27:01 - "Evergreen", aka "That Man, Oh Soo" (그남자, 오수) is an OCN/Dramafever production, starring Lee JongHyun and Kim SoEun. If it weren't for the unexpected (and unwelcome) magic component, we probably would have liked this better.

38:11 - "Go Go Waikiki" (으라차차 와이키키) is a JTBC drama with the great ensemble cast of Kim JungHyun, Lee YiKyung, Song SeungWon, Jung InSun and Go WonHee. So much fun! So lighthearted! So relatable!

It's finally over!!! Judy and Teresa celebrate episodes 19-20 of "Black Knight” (흑기사) with plenty of eagle caw caws and bitter cackling. This KBS drama stars Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee.

The two bright spots of this week were that Youngmi (Shin SoYul) finally wore a piece of clothing we liked and that Gon (Park SungHoon) got a good haircut. Everything else was poorly constructed nonsense and torture. 

Next week is a "First Impressions" episode! We're watching the first episodes of "Cross" (TVN), "Mother" (TVN), "Evergreen" (OCN/Dramafever) and "Go Go Waikiki (JTBC), so join us!

Digressions:

39:24 - "Black Knight" makes Judy miss "Battlestar Galactica" with drums

1:07:16 - Teresa has a thing for Asian guys in eyeliner

1:10:58 - Judy goes all the way out of her damn mind

1:17:10 - David goes all the way out of his damn mind

1:21:06 - Teresa's idea for an alternate ending

 

Audio credits:

Takanori Arisawa – “Theme from Sailor Moon”

"Community" Season 4, Episode 1 - "History 101"

Bear McCreary - "Main Title" from "Battlestar Galactica" (2004)
