Judy and Linda crave a little bit more from episodes 11-12 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi.

There has to be more of a build-up to Sehee's (Lee MinKi) sudden (?) romantic interest in Jiho (Jung SoMin). Surely, he doesn't get a sudden inspiration from making kimchi by the seaside? Judy is excited that Sooji (Esom) finally stands up to her disgusting work colleagues. Also, what's up with the strangely erotic introduction to Sehee's ex-wife (Lee ChungAh)? 

Digressions:

1:15 - Judy watched episode 1 of TVN's "Black" starring Go Ara and Song SeungHun.

5:05 - Linda has been watching "Once Upon A Time". Please save her.

5:58 - Judy recommends "Miss Fisher's Mysteries".

16:59 - Fandom as an "older person"

20:04 - Why some Korean websites don't seem to work properly
