"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:

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.
