Judy and Teresa wish they could be as cool as the Chairwoman in episodes 17-20 of “My Fellow Citizens!” (국민여러분!), a KBS2 drama starring Choi SiWon, Lee YooYoung and Kim MinJung.

The Viki translators say that having a flower behind one's ear implies that someone is crazy? This is the first time that Judy's heard about this. 

The Chairwoman (Kim MinJung) reveals her actual plan, which makes more sense than turning a con man into an assemblyman. Why do Korean elections involve so many high schoolers and also, dancing? MiYeong (Lee YooYoung) continues to ignore people who blatantly tell her that her husband's a con man.

 

Digressions:

0:46 - "Mary and the Witch's Flower"

Some Korean terms:

기러기아빠: [gi-ruh-gi-ah-ppa] literally "goose father"; term for fathers left behind in Korea while the mothers and children move overseas for education purposes.
