YOU GOTTA WATCH JEONGNYEON. It's been so long since we've been this excited about a TV show. Judy and Linda are so glad that there are actually interesting K-dramas out now!

 

 

Digressions:  

1:48 - New Patreon donors and Listener E-mails!

24:52 - Linda watched "Soulmate" (소울메이트), because Byeon WooSeok was in it, and liked it!

27:03 - "Alien: Romulus" was very similar to the original "Alien" movie, but it was a great theatre experience.

35:28 - Linda tried "Welcome to Samdal-ri" (웰컴 투 삼달리) and "Mr. Queen" (철인왕후) and was NOT pleased.

38:23 - "Agatha All Along" is one of the few Marvel shows worth watching on Disney+. Kathryn Hahn continues to be excellent!

40:36 - Linda was so bored that she watched all of "Popstar Academy" on Netflix. 

43:19 - Jet Lag: The Game is a Youtube channel that will hook any "Amazing Race" fans! Check it out if you love travelling and drama-free reality shows.

45:32 - "Nobody Wants This" is a series on Netflix with people who actually talk through their relationship problems like adults? Gasp!

 

 

48:04 - Linda literally fell asleep approximately 10 minutes into "Dear Hyeri Haeri" (나의 해리에게), starring Shin HyeSun and Lee JinWook. It's from some channel called ENA, but who cares, you guys. If you really want to use "Hyeri" in the English title, then just change the name to 혜리 [SCREEEE].

 

1:03:11 - "A Virtuous Business" (정숙한 세일즈) is a JTBC show set in the 1990s about small town ladies selling adult products and finding their inner power. It stars Kim SoYeon and Kim SunYoung. Judy is intrigued, but it needs to ramp up soon!

 

1:12:30 - "Family By Choice" (조립식 가족) is also a JTBC drama starring Jung ChaeYeon, Hwang InYoup and Bae HyunSung. We found the child actors adorable, and really liked the idea of people coming together and depending on each other. 

 

1:27:03 - "Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born" (정년이) is a tvN drama based on a webtoon about female theatre groups in the 1950s. It stars Kim TaeRi, Shin YeEun and Ra MiRan. We LOVE it and you should watch it.
