HIT THE LADY DEMON, SOMUN! Judy and Linda are impatient with episodes 5-8 of "The Uncanny Counter" (경이로운 소문), a supernatural action comedy from OCN, starring Jo ByungGyu, Kim SeJeong, Yoon JoonSang and Yeom HyeRan.
Our next Watch Party for "Space Sweepers" (Song JoongKi and Kim TaeRi) is Feb 20, 5pm EDT! Become a Patreon donor to join the fun!
Judy and Linda spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out the demon levelling system and other Counter/Guardian logistics. Why does a contract killer/level 3 demon get a more emotional backstory than Hana (Kim SeJeong)?

HOW IS THIS JUSTICE? Judy and Linda demand justice from episodes 2-4 of "The Uncanny Counter" (경이로운 소문), a supernatural action comedy from OCN, starring Jo ByungGyu, Kim SeJeong, Yoon JoonSang and Yeom HyeRan.
All the rules pertaining to the Counters and their work are annoyingly loosey goosey, so it's difficult to get invested when anyone breaks or adheres to them. Linda posits that there are not enough Counters to cover all of South Korea and wonders how they would cover larger countries, like Canada. Judy wonders why there aren't many K-dramas that cast cops in a positive light, compared to American shows.

10:46 - Judy smoothly segues into Epik High's new album, "Epik High Is Here"

23:42 - Judy also binged all of "The Bonfire of Destiny" (Le Bazar de la Charite), a French period mini-series set in 1897. Watch with subtitles, not dubs!
