Judy and Linda are just brimming with PSAs after watching episodes 7-8 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi.

Judy and Linda wonder if Koreans don't have the concept of "stranger danger", since Jiho (Jung SoMin) is completely lacking in street smarts in these two episodes. Judy is puzzled by people constantly reiterating that Boknam (Kim MinKyu) is amazingly good looking. Linda is disturbed by Horang's (Kim GaEun) use of sexual withholding to manipulate Wonseok (Kim MinSuk) into proposing.
