OKGYEONG, HOW COULD YOU. Judy and Linda are flabbergasted by the choices in episodes 9-12 of "Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born" (정년이), starring Kim TaeRi, Jung EunChae, Shin YeEun and Ra MiRan.

TW: suicide attempt

Digressions:

1:01 - The political situation in Korea, at time of recording (December 13)

4:54 - Linda watched "1987: When The Day Comes", which feels apropos at this time. Remember history, people!

6:37 - Judy is loving the second season of "Arcane" on Netflix. Even if you know nothing about League of Legends videogame, you won't regret checking out this beautiful work of animation.

8:47 - Linda finished rewatching "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (25, 21) and finally understands why they broke up in the end!

11:11 - Judy watched the Netflix series, "Bodies", a sci-fi thriller that starts off really cool, but why do they always aim for a second season that they're probably not gonna get?

14:02 - Linda watched "Wicked", and there's no doubt that the songs are great, but 3 hours for part 1? Yikes.

Some Korean terms:

국극: [gook-geuk] traditional Korean musical theatre.

넌 한번도 날 완전히 가진 적이 없어: [neon-han-beon-do-nal-wan-jeon-hee-gah-jin-jeok-ee-up-seo] "You've never once had me completely".

너무 답답했어, 정말: [neo-moo-dap-dap-het-suh-jeong-mal] "I was so frustrated, honestly".

JEONGNYEON, NO. JEONGNEYON, YES. Judy and Linda yelled at the screen so much during episodes 5-8 of "Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born" (정년이), starring Kim TaeRi, Jung EunChae, Shin YeEun and Ra MiRan.

Digressions:

0:51 - Listener E-mails!

11:52 - Linda is re-watching "Twenty-Five, Twenty-One" (스물다섯, 스물하나). Should she finally finish "Mister Sunshine" (미스터션샤인)?

12:30 - Judy watched "Batman: The Caped Crusader" on Prime, and it was reminiscent of the great "Batman: The Animated Series" from the 90s, but with a modern take.
