That's how this ends? Judy and Teresa were deflated by episodes 33-36 of “My Fellow Citizens!” (국민여러분!), a KBS2 drama starring Choi SiWon, Lee YooYoung and Kim MinJung.

 

Things we needed from the final week of this drama but didn't get:

1) SangJin (Tae InHo) to actually face his feelings for MiYeong (Lee YooYoung), not suck at it and be an actual human about it.

2) The backstory of the violent relationship between Sister #1 (Baek JiWon), Chairwoman (Kim MinJung) and Lawyer Sister (Ahn EunJin) and the resolution of that conflict, one way or the other.

3) JungGuk (Choi SiWon) and MiYeong working through their problems and reaching a mature decision, one way or the other.

4) A satisfying conclusion for the Chairwoman, who was our favourite character, for heaven's sake! She didn't deserve such a limp ending to her story.

 

Digressions:

0:55 - "Divinity: Original Sin II"

1:42 - "The Lonely Island Presents: The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience"

3:17 - Teresa checked out "Arthdal Chronicles". Our special Mini-episode will be released in July!

 

Some Korean terms:

사기꾼: [sa-gi-ggoon] con artist.

사랑꾼: [sa-rang-ggoon] love artist.

 

Audio credits:

Borislav Slavov - “Divinity: Original Sin II” – “Main Theme”

The Lonely Island – “Oakland Nights (feat. Sia)”

Penultimate week! Judy and Teresa zip through episodes 29-32 of “My Fellow Citizens!” (국민여러분!), a KBS2 drama starring Choi SiWon, Lee YooYoung and Kim MinJung.

Guys, remember how the Chairwoman (Kim MinJung) is our favourite character and we were waiting forever for the showdown between her and Sister #1 (Baek JiWon)? And also looking forward to the mysterious Sister #3 (Yoon JooHee) and what she's capable of? 

SIGH. 

We'll be taking a small break from weekly episodes for the months of July and August! There will be Mini-Episodes from time to time while we deal with some life stuff, so please look out for those. We'll have some special guests!

Digressions:

0:49 - We absolutely loved "Always Be My Maybe"

 

Some Korean terms:

김치찌개: [gim-chi-jji-geh] kimchi stew.

 

Audio credits:

Judy and Teresa were okay with episodes 25-28 of “My Fellow Citizens!” (국민여러분!), a KBS2 drama starring Choi SiWon, Lee YooYoung and Kim MinJung.

We were very annoyed to find out that "My Fellow Citizens!" is now under the Viki Pass Plus. We hope that it's not hindering your ability to watch the rest of it and listen to our episodes.

This week wasn't as strong as last week in terms of meaningful interactions between characters. It did have a lot of physical gags, which were admittedly fun. Finally, JungGuk's sister (Park KyungHye) contributes to the drama by being pretty amazing. Why is she a con artist, again?

Digressions:

0:53 – Listener e-mail!

7:24 – "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" (コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ)

8:34 – Korean meal etiquette

 

Some Korean terms:

성: [seong] Chinese based word root for "sex"

성: [seong] last name.

 

Audio credits:

Kotaro Nakagawa – “Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion” – “Opening Theme 1”

Remember when we had such high hopes for Sharon? Judy and Teresa were excited by episodes 21-24 of “My Fellow Citizens!” (국민여러분!), a KBS2 drama starring Choi SiWon, Lee YooYoung and Kim MinJung.

This week is full of great scenes between supporting characters that build them up as actual people with their own motivations, rather than mannequins that come to life when the camera turns to them. Judy feels vindicated that someone else has finally noticed that SangJin (Tae InHo) has feelings for MiYeong (Lee YooYoung). Will JungGuk (Choi SiWon) ever tell MiYeong about his con man past or will it all blow up in his face? 

 

Digressions:

2:56 – “Dark” (TV series)

3:55 - "Game of Thrones" (no spoilers)

7:16 - Red Dead Redemption 2

 

Some Korean terms:

범생이: [beom-seng-ee] derogatory version of "모범생" [mo-beom-seng], which means "model student".

 

Audio credits:

Apparat – “Dark” – “Goodbye (Theme from Dark, A Netflix Original Series)”

Woody Jackson – “Red Dead Redemption 2” – “The Gang”

g.o.d - "One Candle" (촛불하나)

John Williams – “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” – “The Abduction”
