EVERYTHING HAPPENS. Judy, Linda and Teresa whirl through episodes 3-6 of “Vagabond” (배가본드), an SBS action thriller starring Lee SeungGi and Bae Suzy.

This week, we are introduced to a whole slew of characters. Will they live up to their potential? As goofy as this drama is, DalGeon (Lee SeungGi) is doing his best to remind us that the impetus for all of his actions is grief for his nephew. We're curious how good Haeri's (Bae Suzy) Arabic is, so if any of our listeners speak Arabic, let us know! 

 

Now that we're getting more and more into the drama, it's time to start giving characters nicknames! Here's a glossary so far:

Chief Sadsack - Chief Gang (Lee GiYoung), the bespectacled ally/mentor for Haeri.

Sadface (aka Rockface) - Chief Gi (Shin SungRok), the rules-obsessed NIS officer who is maybe the second lead of this drama?

Scarface - Jerome (Yoo TaeOh), the assassin who blows up the plane.

 

Digressions:

1:35 - We watched one episode of "Love Alarm"

3:28 - We binged the first episode of "Derry Girls"

4:45 - Listener E-mails!

8:03 - Minnesota, the 11th Canadian province?

1:06:21 - When to switch from formal to informal Korean

 

Some Korean terms:

대한민국, 그렇게 허술하지 않아: [dae-han-min-gook-geu-rut-keh-huh-sool-ha-ji-an-ah] "Korea isn't that lax", which is very different from "Your country [Korea] has what it takes."

싸가지 없어: [ssa-ga-ji-up-suh] impolite; lacking in manners.
