Linda's back and we're talking about the finale of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" (역도요정 김복주), starring Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk.

 

Judy throws major shade at the Philadelphia Cream Cheese brand. Linda and Judy positively loathe Joonhyung's mom and are disappointed that there is no satisfying comeuppance to her child-abandoning ways. Jaeyi (Lee JaeYoon) and Ahyoung (Yoo DaIn) are...in love? How?

 

Some Korean terms:

상사병: [sang-sa-byung] lovesick.

서방님: [suh-bang-nim] old-fashioned way of addressing one's husband.

 

Linda and Judy loved watching Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk's chemistry in this drama, but are also glad that it's over so they can move onto something new. Next week, we'll be talking about "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" (힘쎈여자 도봉순) while we consider the new spring k-dramas of 2017.
