In this episode, Judy and Linda finally get to talk about episodes 15 and 16 of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비), starring Gong Yoo, Kim GoEun, Lee DongWook and Yoo InNa. Brace yourselves for some rants. 

Robert contributes another multilingual pun. Judy and Linda can't figure out how Euntak (Kim GoEun) regains her memories. Judy wants to reiterate the importance of knowing how to park your car on hills safely. How come Euntak gets to refuse the Grim Reaper's tea? Why doesn't Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) come into the teahouse to bid farewell to Sunny (Yoo InNa)? How did Euntak make her way to Quebec again in her second life? How? What? Why? 

All of these questions detract from the romance and satisfaction we're supposed to be feeling from the finale, which is too bad.

Some Korean terms:

사투리: [sa-too-ri] provincial accent.

개딸: [geh-ddal] "dog"+"daughter".

정화수: [jung-hwa-soo] according to Naver dictionary, this is well water drawn early in the morning, used to pray or to make herbal medicine.

허무하다: [huh-moo-ha-da] feeling of emptiness and futility; how Judy and Linda felt at the finale of this drama.

네팔: [ne-pal] the country Nepal; also homonym for "four arms".

 

If you couldn't hear Robert very well, here's the pun he uses to torture Judy at the beginning of the episode:

"What country has four arms?"

"Nepal."

 

Next week, we are discussing our first impressions of "Saimdang: Light's Diary", "Missing Nine", "Rebel: Thief of the People" and "Tomorrow with You". Along with "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo", these dramas are candidates to continue our podcast.
