Judy and Linda are getting whiplash this week from the romantic subplots in episodes 13-16 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선) starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon.

Our desperate wish for Eunjae (Ha JiWon) and Hyun (Kang MinHyuk) to remain supportive friends has been dashed. This week introduces their romantic interest in each other, and then adds two more characters into the mix to form the most slapdash love quadrilateral. 

Linda posits that there's a magical portal that transports characters to wherever they conveniently need to be. The scene with Hyun's neverending puns was almost enough to make Judy like Jaegul (Lee SeoWon) more. Linda declares that the flashback with Youngeun (Wang JiEun) and Hyun is the most awkward scene she has ever seen in any Korean drama. 

 

Some Korean terms:

마음이 여리다: [ma-eum-ee-yuh-ree-da] to be tenderhearted.

떨리다: [ddul-lee-da] to be nervous; to tremble.

할아범: [hal-ah-bum] informal way of addressing a grandfather.

멍때리다: [mung-ddeh-ree-da] to space out.

작가: [jak-ga] writer. 

간수하다: [gan-soo-ha-da] to guard; to keep safe.
