This is the fixed version?!?! We were devastated by the way Rang's (Kim Bum) character was sacrificed for the saccharine ending, but we sincerely hope that Kim Bum will continue to do excellent work elsewhere. This episode is the only time that Judy will ever admit "Titanic" (1997) did something interesting plot-wise.

Teresa is still struggling to accept the wackiness of this drama, whereas Judy and Linda have embraced it wholeheartedly. Judy is annoyed that the drama has pulled a switcheroo with Haeri (Bae Suzy); instead of an "Alias"-like competent spy, we have a novice agent who gets ignored by her team.

Judy is supremely annoyed that Jiho (Jung SoMin) is blabbering about everything to everyone except for supposedly the most important person in her life: Sehee (Lee MinKi). Linda is incensed at Jiho for destroying Sehee's heart and then smugly lording it over him.

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 and Linda are concerned about Koreans' attitudes towards dating and marriage. Doesn't anyone get married because they actually genuinely enjoy each other's company? These two episodes also happened to coincide with the #MeToo campaign, which was bitterly apropos, considering the BS that Jiho (Jung SoMin) and Sooji (Esom) have to go through.

The drama decides to introduce the threat of telemedicine this week, but the evil chairman's plot is so nonsensical that Judy and Linda find it more boring than sinister.

Linda tries not to give away any spoilers and spends the whole time being shifty-eyed whenever Judy tries to speculate. Judy ponders if Yejin (Pyo YeJin) is some sort of innocent-faced mastermind. Linda cried over Dongman's dad (Song ByungHo) while Judy squirreled away all of Seolhee's (Song HaYoon) best lines to use when she goes on a righteous rampage. 0:11:10 - Do you like ddeok (Korean rice cake)? 0:45:56 - Who has a bra...

Judy and Linda are still indignant as they talk about episodes 9 and 10 of "Fight My Way" (쌈 마이웨이), starring Park SeoJoon, Kim JiWon, Ahn JaeHong and Song HaYoon. Judy tries to convince Linda to write her own Korean history book for English speakers. Judy and Linda are still really upset that Aera (Kim JiWon) can't seem to catch a break due to Hyeran's (Lee Elijah) connivance. Judy is starry-eyed whenever Dongman (Park SeoJoon) comes up while Linda is itching to tear Jooman (Ahn JaeHong) apart. 0:02:42 - We found a taekwondo expert to analyze Dongman's signature move. 0:05:56 - Lis...

This week is full of digressions as Judy and Linda talk about episodes 7 and 8 of "Fight My Way" (쌈 마이웨이), starring Park SeoJoon, Kim JiWon, Ahn JaeHong and Song HaYoon. Linda googles the cost of hospital rooms in Ontario, while Naver fails to give Judy the answer about corresponding rooms in Korea. Judy and Linda cast maledictions at characters who are absolute garbage people. Maybe if people focused on improving themselves instead of scheming to bring down others, they would be in a much better place. 0:17:40 - Judy and Linda try to name as many announcers/newscasters as they can.

Judy and Linda talk about the treatment of servicepeople in Korea and how Aera's (Kim JiWon) situation is sadly not uncommon. Linda wants to know what entails a "full course date" and Judy wants to know what the big deal is about reversing one's car with one hand. And also, puppy face vs. kitten face?

Judy and Linda are amused by the prominent showcasing of Dongman's (Park SeoJoon) abs. They also consider alternate careers as gift wrappers in Korea, since one can charge $20 for a simple box wrapped with ribbon? Linda wants to know why Koreans idealize small feet in women.

Judy and Linda talk about the portrayal of violence in pop culture, and why the confrontation between Aera (Kim JiWon) and the asshats is more disturbing than the fights in action films. Linda finds the characters and their struggles more relatable than in other dramas. Judy is a strong believer in sarcastic "aegyo".

Judy hasn't started yet, but is very intrigued by the premise and Linda's recommendation. 0:09:00 - Judy has been watching "Chief Kim" (김과장), which is a KBS2 drama from early 2017.

Judy is jealous that Bongsoon (Park BoYoung) can cry so much without getting snotty. Linda develops an interesting backstory for the kidnapper that could turn the whole drama on its head. Minhyuk (Park HyungSik) is even more "inspired" than in previous episodes, which amuses Judy and Linda to no end. Korean term: 양은냄비: [yang-eun-nem-bi] nickel-silver pot.

Linda and Judy roll their eyes as Bongsoon (Park BoYoung) and Minhyuk (Park HyungSik) break up for like 10 minutes, because the writers are desperately trying to kill time. Judy scoffs at the "lacy sleeve tighteners". If you want to know what those are, check out our Facebook page or Twitter!

Judy and Linda discuss the..."excitement" that Park HyungSik conveys as his character and how that's not often portrayed in K-dramas.

Judy accuses Gookdoo (JiSoo) of having fewer facial expressions than Legolas (Orlando Bloom) in the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movie franchise. Those are some fightin' words. We also extol our virtues as potential English consultants and editors.

Judy and Linda absolutely adore the swept back hairstyle that Minhyuk (Park HyungSik) sports to the shareholders meeting. We finally discover the culprit behind Minhyuk's stalker, but there are no consequences! Where is the comeuppance? The drama tries to imply that Gookdoo (JiSoo) has feelings for Bongsoon (Park BoYoung), but it is so out of the blue that it's more laughable than touching.

If this drama is trying to force a love triangle of some kind, it has to do a lot better than this, because Judy and Linda both find Minhyuk (Park HyungSik) more likable and interesting than Gookdoo (JiSoo).

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 raise their eyebrows at Bokjoo’s sudden recovery from her depression and reminisce not-so-fondly about their childhood piano lessons.

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.

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.

Brace yourselves for some rants. Robert contributes another multilingual pun. Judy and Linda can't figure out how Euntak (Kim GoEun) regains her memories.

There were many illogical situations posed by these two episodes. 1) Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) tells Euntak (Kim GoEun) to pull out the sword and kill him.

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.

Is this a romantic movie? Judy was convinced it was supposed to be a romance that didn't quite achieve the emotional payoff that it was hoping for.
