Ms Ma is making up for last week's snoozefest by kicking ass! Judy and Teresa are enthralled by episodes 13-16 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
Is Ms Ma's Husband (Song YoungGyu) evil or not? Judy's patience for the Actress' (Yoon HaeYoung) shenanigans is wearing thin. What is up with Officer Bae (Shin Woo)? Is he really a dumbass or is he just pretending? So much information swirling around! We love it.

Sorry about the quality of Judy's voice track this week.
Give us our dinner party murder mystery, dammit! Judy and Teresa were slightly let down by episodes 9-12 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
Teresa is getting suspicious about Ms Ma's husband (Song YoungGyu), who was all sweet supportiveness in previous weeks and now reveals himself as a physically abusive, shady asshole who maybe has hired killers on hand? Judy decides that Mr. Ko (Choi KwangJe) is now her favourite character in this drama. Episode 12 is filled to the brim with useless scenes with random characters doing random stuff. What happened to Ms Ma doing her detective stuff?

Teresa is off this week, so we're taking a break from "Ms Ma, Nemesis". Judy is joined by special guest, Robert, to discuss the first episode of "Memories of the Alhambra" (알함브라 궁전의 추억), a TVN drama starring Park ShinHye and Hyun Bin.
Judy wonders if listeners suggested this kdrama, just to listen to some class A ranting. Robert tries to figure out how to make this AR (augmented reality) game actually profitable instead of the technologically impressive dumpster fire it is.

"It started crazy and it ended crazy." Judy and Teresa loved the cheesiness of episodes 5-8 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
To listen to us talk about episodes 1-4 of "Ms Ma, Nemesis", check out KDMEO episodes 109 and 112!
Judy is discomfited by the way this drama shows the darker sides of Korea, such as bullying in schools and prejudice against Chinese people of Korean descent. Teresa wonders why the murderer continued to follow through on his original plan, if he heard Ms Ma (Kim YoonJin) predict exactly what he was going to do. Why does Ms Ma leave a sample of her DNA and fingerprints in the police station? There better be a cool twist in later episodes.
Digressions:
1:26 - "Aggretsuko"
3:21 - "Lords and Ladles" and "Supersizers Go"
6:38 - Listener suggestion!
Some Korean terms:
팥쥐: [pat-jwee] evil stepsister character from "콩쥐팥쥐" [kong-jwee-pat-jwee], a Korean version of "Cinderella".
조선족: [jo-seon-sok] ethnic Koreans who migrated over to Manchuria/China before 1945; the drama translates this as Chinese-Korean, which is misleading.
