Judy and Teresa finally watched the first season of "Kingdom" (킹덤), the first ever Netflix original K-drama, starring Ju JiHoon and Bae DooNa.
The first thing that will strike you about "Kingdom" is that it is a beautifully shot drama. The writer (Kim EunHee, who also wrote "Signal") knows exactly why we're watching - old-timey zombies - but also sprinkles enough interpersonal drama to keep us interested.
Next week, we start our springtime First Impressions! We'll be talking about "Legal High" (리걸하이) from JTBC, "Touch Your Heart" (진심이 닿다) from TVN and "Romance is a Bonus Book" (로맨스는 별책부록) from TVN. We're so excited!

When you're on a rampage for vengeance, maybe don't warn your enemies that you're coming. Judy and Teresa yearn for something more from episodes 29-32 of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
The most exciting part of this week was when Ms Ma's (Kim YoonJin) knitting needles came back into action. For someone who has literally nothing to do except for solving cases and plot revenge for over a year, Ms Ma doesn't seem to have any dramatic plans for the final confrontation. Also, we don't think that's how you cover up a multiple murder.

We're back! Judy and Teresa finally get to talk about the bonkers penultimate episodes of “Ms Ma, Nemesis” (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn.
This was a week of switcharoos. There were three (!) cases of body switcharoo as well as a car switcharoo. Believe us when we say that none of these make sense. The drama cobbles together the puzzle of Ms Ma's daughter, but it's so convoluted that no one could possibly come up with the correct solution. You know what, it doesn't really matter, because Ms Ma (Kim YoonJin) is too distracted by the murder of a rando teenager to focus on her own goddamn daughter.
