In this episode, we talk about two Korean dramas that we loved. The first was Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo and the second was Strongwoman Do Bong Soon.
Springtime First Impressions continue! Horsey air kiss! Digressions: 1:15 - "Fargo", the 2014 TV series 3:42 - "Turn: Washington's Spies" 6:44 - "Borderlands 3" news! Hype hype hype! Some Korean terms: 다모: [da-mo] female investigator in ancient Korea; literally "tea lady". One theory of the title's etymology is that these investigators may have been recruited from tea rooms in Koryo dynasty as spies. 해치: [hae-chi] also known as "haetae" (해태); an East Asian mythological animal that was said to be able to look into one's heart and know of evil doings. For a minor infraction, it would butt you with its horns, but for an unforgivable sin, it would eat you whole. 9:40 - "He is Psychometric" (사이코메트리 그녀석) is a TVN drama starring Park JinYoung (from GOT7), Shin YeEun and Kim Kwon. We were hoping for crime solving, not high school drama shenanigans. Some of the characters were strangely callous about the fact that they were dealing with murder victims. The police officers continue to be predictably terrible at their jobs. 24:44 - "Radiant" (눈이 부시게) is a relatable drama from JTBC. It stars Kim HyeJa, Han JiMin and Nam JooHyuk. Han JiMin plays a sadsack character who has realized that she won't be able to achieve her dream of becoming an announcer, but is too afraid to abandon it. Nam JooHyuk is so much better at playing a down-to-earth character (see: Joonhyung from "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo) than a standoffish jerk (see: Habaek from "Bride of the Water God"). 38:10 - "Haechi" (해치) is a historical drama based around the succession struggles of King Yeongjo, who ruled Joseon from 1724 to 1776. This SBS drama stars Jung IlWoo, Go ARa, Kwon Yul and Park Hoon, who portray an unlikely group of people who will fight corruption and help Prince YeonIng ascend the throne. As with any historical drama based on actual people, Judy fell into a Wikipedia hole. Next week, we're talking about "The Item" (아이템), "Go Go Waikiki" (으라차차 와이키키) season 2, and "The Fiery Priest" (열혈사제)!

Linda's back and we're talking about the finale of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" (역도요정 김복주), starring Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk. Judy throws major shade at the Philadelphia Cream Cheese brand. Linda and Judy positively loathe Joonhyung's mom and are disappointed that there is no satisfying comeuppance to her child-abandoning ways. Jaeyi (Lee JaeYoon) and Ahyoung (Yoo DaIn) are...in love? How? Some Korean terms: 상사병: [sang-sa-byung] lovesick. 서방님: [suh-bang-nim] old-fashioned way of addressing one's husband. Linda and Judy loved watching Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk's chemistry in this drama, but are also glad that it's over so they can move onto something new. Next week, we'll be talking about "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" (힘쎈여자 도봉순) while we consider the new spring k-dramas of 2017. Thanks for listening to us rant about "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo".

Due to scheduling issues, we were unable to record about the final episodes of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" this week. As punishment, Judy forced Robert to watch the first episode of the new TVN drama, "Chicago Typewriter" (시카고 타자기), starring Yoo AhIn, Im SooJung and Go GyungPyo. Judy is cranky about everything in this drama. Judy and Robert are annoyed that the main characters are good at everything they put their minds to. Robert is enamoured with the big foozy magical dog that shows up in the episode. Judy is not at all surprised that Subway was once again a sponsor of this TVN drama. Next week, Linda will be back and we'll finally be talking about the finale of "Weightlifting Kim Bok Joo"! We can't wait! Did you watch "Chicago Typewriter"? What did you think?

This week, Judy and Linda find that problems quickly stop being problems in episodes 13-14 of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" (역도요정 김복주), starring Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk. Judy posits the existence of a store that caters exclusively to protesters who are in need of fancy banners, bandannas and drums. Linda finds herself sympathizing - gasp! - with Shiho (Kyung SooJin), after her overdose-related personality transplant. Judy and Linda applaud Bokjoo's (Lee SungKyung) grasp of the English language on a text that she sends to Joonhyung (Nam JooHyuk). On a more serious note, Judy and Linda discuss the portrayal of psychiatry in recent K-dramas and the issue of nepotism in Korean society. Some Korean terms: 낙하산: [nak-ha-san] parachute; a disparaging term to refer to someone who advanced through nepotism or personal connections. 남자친: [nam-ja-chin] friend who is a male. 남친: [nam-chin] boyfriend. 아깝다: [ah-ggap-da] too good to give up easily. 소개팅: [so-geh-ting] blind date. 한약: [han-yak] traditional Korean medicine. 약재: [yak-jeh] herbal medicine ingredient. 2차: [ee-cha] second round. 고등어: [go-deung-uh] mackerel. 고등학교: [go-deung-hak-gyo] high school. How do you feel about how psychiatry works in Korean dramas? Would you ever consider your friend to be a traitor just because he/she started dating?

This week, Judy and Linda fawn over the blossoming romance between Bokjoo (Lee SungKyung) and Joonhyung (Nam JooHyuk) on episodes 11-12 of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" (역도요정 김복주). Judy and Linda raise their eyebrows at Bokjoo’s sudden recovery from her depression and reminisce not-so-fondly about their childhood piano lessons. Linda coins a new phrase, "Don’t dance around the bush". Robert makes up for last week by sending FOUR mid-show puns. Brace yourselves, guys. Some Korean terms: 철없어: [chul-up-suh] immature. 다마네기: [da-ma-ne-gi] Japanese word for "onion"; still used by some older Koreans who were alive during the Japanese colonization. 속상해: [sok-sang-heh] upset. 신경꺼: [shin-gyung-gguh] literally "Turn off [your] attention."; basically "Back off." 여우: [yuh-oo] fox. 너를 못 잊어: [nuh-reul-mot-it-juh] "I can’t forget you." 고향의 전설: [go-hyang-ui-jun-sul] "Hometime Legends"; Korean TV series about scary legends. 체험: [che-hum] experience; trial. 별로: [byul-lo] so-so; Joonhyung uses this word to describe Bokjoo’s facial features. 착하다: [chak-ha-da] good; well-behaved. We didn’t take the time to explain all the puns in detail, so here are the key points. Pun 1: In Korean, "five years" is "오년" [oh-nyun], which sounds like "onion". Pun 2: In Korean "cute" is "귀엽다" [gwi-yup-da], which sounds like "귀없다" [gwi-up-da] (“There is no ear.) Pun 3: In Korean, "안졸리나" [an-jol-li-na] means "Aren’t you sleepy?". Pun 4: In Korean, "tooth" is "이" [ee]. "Mouth" is "입" [eep]. "I don’t know" is "몰라" [mol-la]. Pun-time sound clips: 1) "Kyrie Eleison" from Mozart’s Requiem Mass 2) "Confutatis" from Mozart’s Requiem Mass 3) "Lacrimosa" from Mozart’s Requiem Mass 4) "Exsultate Jubilate" K.165 by Mozart There are only 2 more weeks until we need to start watching a new drama!

Sibling rivalry doesn’t really pertain to only our community but like the topic of parenting, there are still cultural implications that exist and they affect our family dynamics. It didn’t occur to me that I could explore this topic until I began reflecting on my relationship with my own sister just a couple weeks ago. I am very proud and excited to showcase my best friend and younger sister, Joanne Nguyen, in this episode. Look forward to an hour’s worth of her words of advice and encouragement as she brings us back to what it’s like for us growing up together and what our relationship is like now in this week’s episode. Joanne Nguyen is an aspiring graphic designer and musician who finds solace in listening to Korean music (mainly R&B, her current obsession being DΞΔN) and watching dramas (currently watching Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, highly recommend if you’re looking for OTP cuteness). She’s currently a sophomore at Stanford University who thinks she wants to major in Communications and minor in East Asian Studies with a Korean subplan, but she’s still lost and trying to find her calling in life. She loves heart-to-hearts and dreams of one day opening a coffee shop in Korea where people can come to relax and have thought-provoking and deep conversations. She loves to create and perform whether that is through graphic designing, singing, dancing, or crocheting. Check out her portfolio at https://joannemainguyen.wordpress.com.

This week, Judy and Linda rant some more about episodes 9 and 10 of “Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo” (역도요정 김복주), starring Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk. Linda theorizes that it must be a common fantasy of Korean women to have someone put on their seatbelts for them since it seems to come up so often in K-Dramas. Judy wonders why Koreans love animals that are considered pests in Canada. Judy takes her turn being the lead ranter this week and it's so vehement that she bursts out in Korean, because English is often lacking in maledictive phrases. Linda raises her eyebrow at the return of "horizontal huggling". Some Korean terms: 선발대회: [sun-bal-deh-hweh] competition. 답답해서 죽을거야: [dap-dap-heh-suh-jook-eul-guh-yah] "You'll die from frustration."; Judy says this in referring to Dr. Jaeyi (Lee JaeYoon) and believe us when we say that the Korean version has a distinctive flavour that the English version lacks. 너무 순수해: [nuh-moo-soon-soo-heh] "[He's] too pure."; Linda says this about Dr. Jaeyi's naivete. 팔베게: [pal-beh-geh] "arm" (pal) + "pillow" (beh-geh) Robert will return in next week's episode for more mid-show puns. Did you also feel frustrated at Dr. Jaeyi and Dr. Ahyoung's characters? Can you explain why the "English department goddesses" are so intrigued by short-distance swimmers?

In this week's episode, Judy and Linda talk about episodes 7-8 of “Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo” (역도요정 김복주), starring Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk. Thankfully, there's just one digression this week, in which Linda gives a brief review of the Laneige Two Tone Lip Bar (41:06-42:51). This is not a sponsorship; we're too lazy for that. Linda is staunchly unforgiving of Shiho (Kyung SooJin) and Ahyoung (Yoo DaIn). Judy gets all CSI on the forged postcard from Canada that Joonhyung (Nam JooHyuk) receives. Linda and Judy reveal a bit too much about their karaoke habits. Sound clips in the show: 1) "Dies Irae" from Verdi's Requiem Mass 2) "Dies Irae" from Mozart's Requiem Mass 3) "Wind is blowing" by Lee SoRa 4) "Fantastic Baby" by Big Bang 5) "Wa" by Lee JungHyun 6) "Bruise" by Kim HyunJung 7) "Tears" by So ChanHwee What's your absolute favourite song when you go to karaoke?

This week, Judy and Linda may have had some wine while they discuss episodes 5 and 6 of “Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo” (역도요정 김복주), starring Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk. There are some digressions (more than usual): 1) 8:17-10:19 - Judy and Linda are crotchety about what the young people are doing to their jeans nowadays. 2) 11:37-14:05 - Judy and Linda talk about their favourite birds. 3) 1:13:02-1:15:59 - Judy and Linda "research" the magical health properties of abalone. Bokjoo (Lee SungKyung) and Joonhyung (Nam JooHyuk) are so charming and naturally sweet together, rather than annoyingly saccharine. We also love Dr. Jaeyi (Lee JaeYoon), even though he's weirdly pleased when Bokjoo praises his appearance. Judy gets angry at the non-bagels featured in the show. Linda claims that she could gain 10lb in 2 days and wonders why it's such a big deal for Bokjoo. Some Korean terms: 꼬시다: [kko-shi-da] to lure; to hit on. 자상하다: [ja-sang-ha-da] to be considerate; to be caring. 국민: [gook-min] nation; used as prefix for nicknames for celebrities. For instance, Yoo JaeSuk is 국민MC, "nation's MC". 요정: [yo-jung] fairy; used as suffix for nicknames. Kim YooJung is 사극요정, "historical drama fairy". 여신: [yuh-shin] goddess; used as suffix for nicknames. 완도: [wan-do] island off the southwest coast of South Korea. The area is famous for its seafood. 새끼: [se-kki] bastard. 상추: [sang-choo] lettuce. We forgot to explain the mid-show pun Robert sent to us. "Where do the lettuce go to meditate?" "Sang-choo-wary." (Lettuce-wary) Sound clips in the show: 1) Click here for the eagle screech. 2) "Sailor Moon" transformation music by Takanori Arisawa. 3) "Starcraft Terran Theme" by Glenn Stafford. 4) "Sensei and Ninomiya-Kun" from season 1, episode 3 of "Minami-ke". If you like "Weightlifting Fairy", you'll probably enjoy "Minami-ke". 5) "Sanctuary" from "Hunchback of Notre Dame" by Alan Menken. This is Judy's favourite Disney soundtrack. Who makes you hiccup more, Joonhyung or Jaeyi? All you bagel-snobs, let us know what you thought about the cream cheese product placement scene.

This week, Judy and Linda find the darkness in episodes 3 and 4 of “Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo” (역도요정 김복주), starring Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk. For a show that's touted as a lighthearted romantic comedy, it surprised us by touching on deeper subjects that affect more than just the main characters. The theme of this week’s episode is “unrealistic expectations”. The drama portrays the immense pressure placed on athletes to perform in order to please their coaches, parents and the general public. On the other hand, Bokjoo's (Lee SungKyung) weight loss storyline seems to be conforming very much to society's unhealthy obsession with the "perfect body". Judy and Linda question Dr. Jung’s (aka Dr. Kim JongKook) integrity as a doctor. We feel bad for Shiho (Kyung SooJin), because of all the bullying from her coach and her mom, but at the same time, she is an absolute garbage person for the way she broke up with Joonhyung (Nam JooHyuk), so who cares about her. Some Korean terms: 팔등신: [pal-deung-shin] body proportions where your head is 1/8 of your total height. 치맥: [chi-mek] short for chicken-mekjoo (beer). 찌개: [jji-gae] stew. Jonathan Crombie is the actor who portrayed Gilbert Blythe in the “Anne of Green Gables” mini-series from 1985. You’ll be Gilbert in our hearts forever. Click here to read more about Shin A-lam, the Korean fencer who had a breakdown at the 2012 London Olympics. Special thanks to Robert who sent us the mid-show pun. How did you feel when you watched these two episodes? Did you feel angry/sad about Bokjoo's weight loss like we did?

This week, Judy and Linda continue to annoy everyone with their indecisiveness by talking about the second episodes of two MBC K-Drama series: "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" (역도요정 김복주) and "Missing Nine". Linda gives her first impressions of Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk as the lead characters in "Weightlifting Fairy". Judy desperately wants to eat Korean barbecue. We want to commend the drama for trying to normalize professional psychological help. At the same time, what message is the drama trying to send about body image issues? "Missing Nine" continues to intrigue with its tangle of mysteries. Joonoh (Jung KyungHo) is still annoying and generally useless. Judy and Linda are no outdoorswomen by any means, but they have watched enough "Survivor" and "Lost" to act like know-it-alls. Some Korean terms: 뚱: [Ddoong] short for 뚱뚱 ("chubby"). 여자분: [yuh-ja-boon] formal way of referring to a woman; lady. 과자: [gwa-ja] snack. 죽: [jook] porridge. Judy refers to a lesser known Jules Verne novel, "Adrift in the Pacific". It's a fun read about a group of teenagers who are shipwrecked on a deserted island and have to learn to survive by working together. It is totally not like "Lord of the Flies". Judy also talks about the deep voice of the creepy boss of Legend Entertainment in "Missing Nine". We used an audio clip from episode 1, because the character had more dialogue. The audio clip of the Japanese voice we used to illustrate this point is of a character named Akainu from "One Piece". Are you guys happy with our choice?

Now that Goblin is over, Judy and Linda had to make some important decisions about what K-drama to watch next for the podcast. This week, we watched the first episodes of 4 new dramas that started in January/February of 2017. To start off, we talk about "Saimdang: Light's Diary (Herstory)" (사임당, 빛의 일기), the new SBS drama starring Lee YoungAe and Song SeungHun. This was a huge disappointment, especially because of the high hopes we had for it. How can you take a subject like Saimdang, who was such an important and prominent female figure in Korean history, and make it so objectionably boring? Judy and Linda love Lee YoungAe and yet this drama was so hammy that they have a serious moment of doubt about her acting ability. That's like finding out that Cate Blanchett is bad at acting! How can that be? In "Tomorrow With You" (내일 그대와), the tvN drama, Lee JeHoon plays a time traveller who is trying to solve the mystery of his future death by befriending a sad sack former child actress played by Shin MinAh. Judy thinks that the main characters wholly uninteresting and unlikable. Linda finds the premise interesting, but the rules of time travel are too vague and loose (does that remind you of frustrations we've had about a certain teahouse?). "Missing Nine" is an MBC drama, starring Jung KyungHo and Baek JinHee. Despite the man bun, turtlenecks and bangs in the drama, Judy is intrigued by the mystery and relationships established by the first episode. Linda predicts which characters will die off first, especially since there are 11 passengers on the plane, not counting the pilots and the one flight attendant. Finally, we watched "Rebel: Thief of the People" (역적: 백성을 훔친 도적), an MBC drama starring Yoon KyoonSang and Chae SooBin. This series is a straight forward historical drama about Hong GilDong (Yoon KyoonSang), a Korean Robin Hood, who leads a rebellion against YeonSanGun (Kim JiSuk). The first episode starts off so strong, but Judy and Linda are disappointed that the drama is going to be spending so much time examining the protagonist's childhood. Some Korean terms: 낙지: [nak-ji] octopus. 촌스러워: [chon-seu-ruh-wuh] old-fashioned. 해녀: [heh-nyuh] female diver. 도련님: [do-ryun-nim] old Korean address for "young master". 마님: [ma-nim] old Korean address for "madam". If you would like to read more about Saimdang (신사임당), you can click here to see her English Wikipedia page. Judy thought that Hong GilDong (홍길동) was a fictional character, but apparently he was based on a real person in Joseon! There is an actual novel about his adventures, though. Click here to read about the novel, because the English Wiki page for the actual person has very little information. The King portrayed in "Rebel: Thief of the People" is Prince YeonSan (연산군). His title is "Prince" and not "King", because he was later deposed for being a tyrant and replaced by his half brother. Click here to read about a short history about him on English Wiki. So our choices come down to "Missing Nine" or "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo"!

In this episode, Judy and Linda finally get to talk about episodes 15 and 16 of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비), starring Gong Yoo, Kim GoEun, Lee DongWook and Yoo InNa. Brace yourselves for some rants. Robert contributes another multilingual pun. Judy and Linda can't figure out how Euntak (Kim GoEun) regains her memories. Judy wants to reiterate the importance of knowing how to park your car on hills safely. How come Euntak gets to refuse the Grim Reaper's tea? Why doesn't Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) come into the teahouse to bid farewell to Sunny (Yoo InNa)? How did Euntak make her way to Quebec again in her second life? How? What? Why? All of these questions detract from the romance and satisfaction we're supposed to be feeling from the finale, which is too bad. Some Korean terms: 사투리: [sa-too-ri] provincial accent. 개딸: [geh-ddal] "dog"+"daughter". 정화수: [jung-hwa-soo] according to Naver dictionary, this is well water drawn early in the morning, used to pray or to make herbal medicine. 허무하다: [huh-moo-ha-da] feeling of emptiness and futility; how Judy and Linda felt at the finale of this drama. 네팔: [ne-pal] the country Nepal; also homonym for "four arms". If you couldn't hear Robert very well, here's the pun he uses to torture Judy at the beginning of the episode: "What country has four arms?" "Nepal." Next week, we are discussing our first impressions of "Saimdang: Light's Diary", "Missing Nine", "Rebel: Thief of the People" and "Tomorrow with You". Along with "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo", these dramas are candidates to continue our podcast.
