Best out-of-context quote of this week: "We're better at murder than they are!" Judy and Teresa scoff at episodes 15-16 of "Black Knight” (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee.

Why are Sooho (Kim RaeWon) and Haera (Shin SeKyung) so determined to not acknowledge Sharon's (Seo JiHye) dangerous nature? Do you find it weird that both Sooho and Haera's moms died from "shock" like the show is implying that women just lose the will to live when their partners die? And yet, "marriage is a tomb" is tossed out like it's a funny line.

 

Digressions:

3:22 - Teresa's CSI methodology

5:55 - KDMEO is not sponsored by Dyson!

41:55 - Word roots in some Asian languages

1:21:06 - Haircut for David 

1:30:35 - We analyze Sooho's stab wound
