Now displaying: Category: 100 Days My Prince
Jul 28, 2020

FINALLY, SOME CLOSURE! Judy, Linda and Teresa binged on episodes 9-16 of “100 Days My Prince” (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun.

Back in 2018, Judy and Teresa covered the first 8 episodes of "100 Days My Prince" before DramaFever imploded. The drama finally came to Viki this year and Judy basically forced Linda and Teresa to watch it, because we hate leaving things unfinished. If you want to listen to us talk about the first half of this drama, that's in KDMEO episodes 103-107.

We're taking a break for the rest of the summer, but let us know what you would like to watch for the Netflix Party!

Digressions:

1:25 - New Patreon donor and Listener E-mails!

17:36 - Judy binged all of "Indian Matchmaking"

19:14 - Teresa continues her anime binge with "Steins;Gate" (シュタインズ・ゲート)

21:17 - Studio Ghibli is on Netflix!!!

22:53 - Linda is enjoying "Anne with an E"

 

Some Korean terms:

못할것도 없지: [mot-hal-geot-do-eop-ji] "There's nothing to stop me".

 

Audio credits:

Siyeon (Dreamcatcher) - "Into The Ring" - "Good Sera"

Kanako Ito - "Steins;Gate" - "Fatima"

Azumi Inoue - "My Neighbour Totoro" - "Tonari no Totoro"

Tragically Hip - "Anne with an E" - "Ahead By A Century"

Obligatory shoe-buying! Judy and Teresa facepalm their way through episodes 7-8 of “100 Days My Prince” (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun.

What's happened that all the villainous characters this week? The Queen (Oh YeonAh) acts like her talisman is super well-hidden, but it turns out to be pretty lame. Lord Park (Ahn Seok-Hwan) is doing some wacky nonsense, like standing next to a target and giving Wondeuk/Crown Prince (Do KyungSoo) a bow and arrow. Left State Councillor (Jo SungHa) is counting his chickens too early by revealing the Crown Princess' (Han SoHee) pregnancy before confirming that the Crown Prince is dead, contrary to his previous affirmation? Judy and Teresa are available if any budding evil overlords are looking for key strategists to add to their team.

  

Digressions:

4:29 - The "Mission: Impossible" series

1:06:18 - Video games are educational, we swear!

 

Some Korean terms:

석고대죄: [seok-go-deh-jweh] an act of contrition by a guilty person; one strips down to underclothing, lets loose their hair and waits on a straw mat to receive punishment. This is frequently shown in Korean historical dramas, but there aren't that many recorded instances in historical records.

개: [geh] older Korean term for "fake".

개: [geh] dog.

필: [pil] bolt (of fabric). 

제: [jeh] formal "I", "my".

내: [neh] informal "I", "my"; this is the form Left State Councillor uses when he's talking to the King. Technically, he should be using "신" [shin], which is what noblemen use to refer to themselves in front of royalty.

  

Audio credits:

Larry Mullen & Adam Clayton - Mission: Impossible (1996) - "Theme from Mission: Impossible"

Johnny Mercer - Robin Hood (1973) - "The Phony King of England"

Mark Snow - The X-Files - "The X-Files"

Quel scandale! Judy and Teresa got tipsy and sassy about episodes 5-6 of “100 Days My Prince” (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun.

Teresa is incredulous at Eunuch Yang's (Jo HyunSik) naivete when he's in such a dire situation with the Left State Councillor (Jo SungHa). Judy hopes that the Wondeuk/Crown Prince's (Do KyungSoo) riddle will make sense for non-Korean speakers when Investigator (Kim SeonHo) finally solves it. The most touching scene this week was the reunion between Hongshim (Nam JiHyun) and her assassin brother (Kim JaeYoung). 

Judy and Teresa desperately need nicknames for a whole bunch of characters, like the Left State Councillor, Hongshim's best friend's husband (Kim KiDoo) and Investigator's brother/Queen's Conspirator (Kang YoungSeok). If you have any good suggestions, please let us know!

Digressions:

1:36 - Judy is in the thick of "Mister Sunshine"

2:39 - Teresa finished Season 1 of "Dear White People"

3:03 - Friends of the Podcast - Kevin Wilks-Lau and Victor Cheng piano duo - Check out Kevin's Youtube channel!

 

Some Korean terms:

기생:  [gi-seng] Korean term for "geisha"; female entertainer.

새끼: [se-kki] rope.

새끼: [se-kki] bastard; son of a bitch.

 

Audio credits:

EXO-CBX – “Ka-CHING!”

Quincy Jones - Kill Bill Vol. 1 - "Ironside"

Madame Etiquette is back! Judy and Teresa are full of conjecture about episodes 3-4 of “100 Days My Prince” (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun.

We are not neurologists or psychologists, but is it possible for an amnesiac to recognize the source of fancy fabrics at a glance and yet not remember the basic workings of commerce? We need Wondeuk/Crown Prince (Do KyungSoo) to become more likable immediately. Why does Hongshim (Nam JiHyun) get so emotional when she's telling Wondeuk/Crown Prince about their courtship, which she completely made up? This drama is doing that wonky gravity thing, like in "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?", where people fall on top of each other in ways that make no physical sense.

Digressions:

0:33 - Judy's new self-care routine

3:08 - Judy has finally finished "Lawless Lawyer"

4:19 - Teresa has given up on "The Client List" (the Lifetime drama starring Jennifer Love Hewitt). If you want to read a super funny synopsis of the Lifetime original movie, here is the Fug Girls link!

5:53 - Listener E-mails!

 

Some Korean terms:

기생: [gi-seng] Korean term for "geisha"; female entertainer.

푼: [poon] smallest unit of Joseon money; 100 poon = 1 nyang. Of note, Hongshim says that the 30 nyang that Wondeuk took from the loan shark is enough to buy a house.

 

Audio credits:

"Arrested Development" Season 1, Episode 5 - "Charity Drive"

How dare you not have an archery contest after that setup? Judy and Teresa are loving the plot intricacies in episode 2 of “100 Days My Prince” (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun.

Judy and Teresa are perturbed by the advances of Investigator Jong Jaeyoon (Kim SunHo) on the moonlit bridge. Just ask any woman if they enjoy being accosted by a cop in the middle of the night and being manhandled for no reason. It's positively charming. Judy enjoys that the female characters, even the villainous ones, have personal motivations and take actions towards their goals. 

Digressions: 

0:46 - Teresa watched more of "Devilish Joy"

3:05 - Judy is almost done watching "Lawless Lawyer"

5:10 - Judy and Robert watched "Coco"

6:00 - Sandra Oh was nominated for an Emmy!

 

Audio credits:

Mel Brooks - Robin Hood: Men in Tights - "Men In Tights"

Daniwell-Aidn - "Nyan Cat"

Quincy Jones - Kill Bill Vol. 1 - "Ironside"
