In this week's episode, Judy and Linda talk about episodes 3-4 of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비) from TVN. It stars Gong Yoo, Kim GoEun and Lee DongWook.

Because it was originally intended to be released as part of last week's podcast, you'll notice it's slightly shorter than our normal ramblings. To be quite honest, not much happened in episodes 3 and 4 that was worth talking about. Do you really need us to delve into the sammich boy from Paris? 

We're not quite sure how "Goblin" manages to grab our attention in spite of its ridiculously slow pacing and nonsensical push-pull between the two main leads. Linda has some theories about the past lives of the Grim Reaper (Lee Dongwook) and Sunny (Yoo Inna). Judy has a very simple solution to the Goblin's conflicting desires: true love or a peaceful end to his life.

 

Some Korean terms:

후배: [hoo-bae] person in an organization with less experience; opposite of sunbae.

고기: [go-ghi] meat.

소: [soh] cow.

돼지: [dwe-ji] pig.

뽀뽀해: [ppo-ppo-hae] "ppo-ppo" is a childish way of saying "kiss" and "hae" is an informal imperative form of "to do"; basically "Kiss each other!"

Happy new year, everyone!
