Linda is back as a special guest, and she forced Judy to watch the first episode of "Arthdal Chronicles" (아스달 연대기), a TVN drama starring Song JoongKi, Kim JiWon and Jang DongGun.

"WHY?" is the predominant question. Why does this look so cheap if it cost over $50million? Why is the conlang so lazily un-Korean if this is meant to be set in an ancient Korea? Why is this episode 80 minutes if they spend most of it on dumb things instead of establishing important plot points? Why are they doing such a bad job of ripping off more interesting and successful shows and movies?

Some Korean terms:

사람: [sa-ram] human.

정을 나누다: [jeong-eul-na-noo-da] an old fashioned way of saying "to make love"; literally "to share love".

항아리: [hang-ah-ri] clay jar.

미세먼지: [mi-seh-meon-ji] microdust; it's a worrisome environmental issue in Korea.
