DON'T TELL NO PORKY, GIGABYTCH. Judy, Linda and Teresa are finally getting some flutters from the real danger in episodes 5-8 of “Crash Landing On You” (사랑의 불시착), a TVN romantic comedy starring Son YeJin and Hyun Bin.

Corrections: Judy called Choi WooSik and Kim JungHyun by the wrong name. Oops!

Some of the subtitles in this drama are just WACKY. We miss Jean (she of the "Vagabond" subtitles") so much. Judy honors ManBok (aka The Wiretapper played by Kim YoungMin) with his own musical sting. We feel bad for Seo JiHye for having to play yet another Sharon-like character. Meanwhile, we do NOT feel bad for Kim JungHyun and wish someone a bit more seductive and dangerous was playing SeungJun. 

We are planning a special episode that you can turn on as you’re watching like a commentary track. Please join Patreon to participate in our poll or make a suggestion! The poll is open until March 16 and the current leader is “My Holo Love” starring Yoon HyunMin and Ko SungHee. You can also comment with your own suggestion!
