OKGYEONG, HOW COULD YOU. Judy and Linda are flabbergasted by the choices in episodes 9-12 of "Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born" (정년이), starring Kim TaeRi, Jung EunChae, Shin YeEun and Ra MiRan.

 

TW: suicide attempt

 

Digressions:  

1:01 - The political situation in Korea, at time of recording (December 13)

4:54 - Linda watched "1987: When The Day Comes", which feels apropos at this time. Remember history, people!

6:37 - Judy is loving the second season of "Arcane" on Netflix. Even if you know nothing about League of Legends videogame, you won't regret checking out this beautiful work of animation.

8:47 - Linda finished rewatching "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (25, 21) and finally understands why they broke up in the end!

11:11 - Judy watched the Netflix series, "Bodies", a sci-fi thriller that starts off really cool, but why do they always aim for a second season that they're probably not gonna get?

14:02 - Linda watched "Wicked", and there's no doubt that the songs are great, but 3 hours for part 1? Yikes.
