This week we are reviewing episodes 9 & 10 of Goblin. Watch the episodes and then catch up with us here as we confirm some stuff we should have known, warm up to Kim Shin, and take a field trip through history.
You get two KDMEO episodes this week! Today's episode covers episodes 13 and 14 of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비), starring Gong Yoo, Kim GoEun, Lee DongWook and Yoo Inna. Judy and Linda think it's poor strategy for Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) to use Euntak (Kim GoEun) as bait for Eyeball Professor. Judy goes a bit mad, when Robert sneaks up on the recording with a multilingual pun. Linda wants Korean listeners to try the dal.komm sausage thingy and then give us a review. Some Korean terms: 비녀: [bee-nyuh] hair stick. 처녀귀신: [chuh-nyuh-gwee-shin] virgin (female) ghost; usually wearing white hanbok and long black hair draped over face. 무: [moo] homonym for "nothingness" and "radish". 계란: [gye-ran] egg. If you couldn't hear Robert's multilingual pun very well, here it is: "What did the Korean bus driver say to the egg?" "Gye-ran (get on)." This is why Judy hates puns. What did you think of the Eyeball Professor's demise? Did you cry as much as we did when Kim Shin died? Were you as annoyed as we were by episode 14?

Hello Frequent Flyers and welcome aboard our 89th Flight, Goblin. When betrayed general, Kim Shin, is put to death by the machinations of an evil Iago, what's his soul to do but suffer endlessly without a proper burial. PSYCHE - someone prays for him and he comes back with a vengeance. Or like...just as a creature of vengeance. Modern times, Ji Eun Tak can see ghosts, and those ghosts won't stop whispering that she's the Goblin bride. Marriage is all well and good but she's just gotta survive her shitty home life first. But a single breath can bring change - and neither Kim Shin or Ji Eun Tak are prepared for what danger that can bring.
Happy New Year! We're at episode 15! To start 2017, Judy and Linda talk about episodes 5-6 of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비), starring Gong Yoo, KimGoEun and LeeDongWook. In this episode, Judy was skeptical that Euntak (Kim GoEun), a high school senior, can't interpret the Chinese characters in Kim Shin (Gong Yoo)'s diary. Isn't she a high school senior, who's so smart that she doesn't even need extra classes? Linda wondered if they still teach Chinese characters in school, so Judy did some extra Googling and discovered that they teach it in middle school and high school. There's even an MBC news article from 2015, that reports on the discussion about whether Chinese characters should be included in the elementary school curriculum. Linda finds herself melting to Gong Yoo's voice. It's irresistible. Can someone in Korea convince this man to record an audiobook please? We would buy all of it. Judy finally solves the mystery of why the servants of Kim Shin skip a generation. It's a solid theory. Tune in to find out. We also received our first listener e-mail! Squeeeee! Some Korean terms: 불고기: [bul-go-gi] thinly sliced that is marinated, then stir fried. 수능: [soo-neung] university entrance exams. 1004: [chun-sa] homonym for "천사" (angel). 35: [sa-moh] homonym for "사모" (old Korean term for "to love" 79: [chil-goo] sounds almost like "친구" (friend) 고3: [go-sam] abbreviation for 고등학교 3학년 (high school, third grade); high school senior. 대표님: [dae-pyo-nim] representative director or managing director. 고시원: [go-shi-won] dormitory for students studying for exams to enter the government. 한자: [han-ja] Chinese characters incorporated into Korean words.

Linda and Judy are starting a new series this week, "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비) from TVN. It stars Gong Yoo, Kim GoEun and Lee DongWook. We had a lot of questions. How did Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) travel from Korea to Canada in the 11th century with his mortal servant? Why must this drama have a romance between a 19 year-old Ji Euntak (Kim GoEun) and a 939 year-old? Why do we love watching the Goblin-Grim Reaper bromance more than the Goblin-Euntak interaction? Most importantly: Do Koreans still use bankbooks and if so, how do they work? Some Korean terms: 신: [shin] god. 맷돼지: [met-dweh-ji] wild boar. 나으리: [na-eu-ri] Milord. 재벌: [jae-beol] tycoon; rich person. 아저씨: [ah-juh-ssi] way of addressing an older man who is not related to you. 티격태격: [tee-gyeok-tae-gyeok] bickering. 김밥: [gim-bap] rice roll. 반말: [ban-mal] informal speech.
