K-Drama My Eyes Out

We're back! Judy and Teresa finally get to talk about the bonkers penultimate episodes of "Ms Ma, Nemesis" (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn. This was a week of switcharoos. There were three (!) cases of body switcharoo as well as a car switcharoo. Believe us when we say that none of these make sense. The drama cobbles together the puzzle of Ms Ma's daughter, bu...

A philosophical question: what constitutes an obstacle? Judy and Robert's heads are spinning at episode 5 of "Memories of the Alhambra" (알함브라 궁전의 추억), a TVN drama starring Park ShinHye and Hyun Bin. Wait, this whole thing has only been two days so far? We still feel no sympathy for Jinwoo (Hyun Bin), who only now realizes that he caused the death of Hyungseok (Park Hoon), aka Dead Automob...

Less sociopathy and more goofy video game, pleae! Judy and Robert meander in their discussion of episode 4 of "Memories of the Alhambra" (알함브라 궁전의 추억), a TVN drama starring Park ShinHye and Hyun Bin. Judy is so determined to be upset at watching this drama that she starts eating chocolate mid-recording. Meanwhile, Robert is oddly fixated on the idea of people stealing high-tech contact le...

Girl, you're a millionaire now. Put down the toilet phone! Judy and Robert get tipsy as they ramble about episode 3 of "Memories of the Alhambra" (알함브라 궁전의 추억), a TVN drama starring Park ShinHye and Hyun Bin. We have to give credit where it's due. Could it be that all of the flaws in the video game were actually intended by the screenwriter to hint at an interesting twist in this "magical...

This week's theme is: "That's not how [insert plot device] works!" Judy and Teresa are befuddled by episodes 21-24 of "Ms Ma, Nemesis" (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn. Kim YoonJin is doing the lord's work this week, portraying both Ms Ma and also the doppleganger Writer. Judy gets disproportionately upset with a piece of jewelry. Teresa wants Ms Ma to adopt Ey...

Judy and Teresa's heads are spinning from the twists and turns in episodes 17-20 of "Ms Ma, Nemesis" (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn. The Actress (Yoon HaeYoung) continues to be a self-absorbed idiot, and her easily preventable death at the end of this week means that she can't even be useful to Ms Ma (Kim YoonJin) as a witness for her daughter's case, so than...

Teresa, come back and save Judy! Join Judy and Robert for this super casual chat in which they struggle to focus on second episode of "Memories of the Alhambra" (알함브라 궁전의 추억), a TVN drama starring Park ShinHye and Hyun Bin. This episode really didn't do anything to make us like Hyun Bin's douchebag CEO character. We were hopeful for Park ShinHye's character for a split second until she we...

Happy New Year! Judy is joined by special guest, Robert, to talk about the first episode of "Encounter" (남자친구), yet another TVN winter drama starring Park BoGum and Song HyeKyo. Robert is surprised that this show is also from TVN, seeing as how it's shot and edited exponentially better than "Memories of the Alhambra". Judy is annoyed that the main obstacle to the main characters' romance can b...

Ms Ma is making up for last week's snoozefest by kicking ass! Judy and Teresa are enthralled by episodes 13-16 of "Ms Ma, Nemesis" (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn. Is Ms Ma's Husband (Song YoungGyu) evil or not? Judy's patience for the Actress' (Yoon HaeYoung) shenanigans is wearing thin. What is up with Officer Bae (Shin Woo)? Is he really a dumbass or is he...

Sorry about the quality of Judy's voice track this week. Give us our dinner party murder mystery, dammit! Judy and Teresa were slightly let down by episodes 9-12 of "Ms Ma, Nemesis" (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn. Teresa is getting suspicious about Ms Ma's husband (Song YoungGyu), who was all sweet supportiveness in previous weeks and now reveals himself as a...

Teresa is off this week, so we're taking a break from "Ms Ma, Nemesis". Judy is joined by special guest, Robert, to discuss the first episode of "Memories of the Alhambra" (알함브라 궁전의 추억), a TVN drama starring Park ShinHye and Hyun Bin. Judy wonders if listeners suggested this kdrama, just to listen to some class A ranting. Robert tries to figure out how to make this AR (augmented reality)...

"It started crazy and it ended crazy." Judy and Teresa loved the cheesiness of episodes 5-8 of "Ms Ma, Nemesis" (미스 마), an SBS mystery drama starring Kim YoonJin and Jung WoongIn. To listen to us talk about episodes 1-4 of "Ms Ma, Nemesis", check out KDMEO episodes 109 and 112! Judy is discomfited by the way this drama shows the darker sides of Korea, such as bullying in schools and prejudice a...

This week, we covered the second hour of our final 3 choices for fall kdramas. If you missed our previous coverage of these dramas, check out KDMEO episodes 109 and 110. Digressions: 0:59 - "Live" (라이브) is still great 2:18 - Judy tried out "The Last Empress" (황후의 품격) 6:36 - "Assassin's Creed: Odyssey" 8:41 - "Matrimonial Chaos" (최고의 이혼) is from KBS and stars Bae DooNa, Cha TaeHyun, Le...

No theme this week! Next week, we're narrowing down our fall kdrama choices. We will be covering the second hour of "Ms. Ma, Nemesis" (미스마), "Matrimonial Chaos" (최고의 이혼) and "The Player" (플레이어). Digressions: 0:42 - Teresa has been watching "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" 3:17 - Judy's farewell to "Witcher 3"   5:53 - "Live" (라이브) is an excellent frontline cop drama from TVN starring Jun...

This week's theme is "adulting is hard", and also, that all women who are down on their luck have dreams of becoming writers. We think "100 Days My Prince" is a lost dream. When it eventually becomes available somewhere, we will do a special episode on the rest of the episodes. Digressions: 0:29 - Listener e-mail! Here is the link to the Youtube video she sent us. 3:17 - "Chilling Adventures of Sa...

This week's theme is crime! This crop of fall dramas were, for the most part, so much better than last week. Still though, whither "100 Days My Prince"? Next week on Part 3, we're watching the first episodes of "Bad Papa" (배드파파), "Matrimonial Chaos" (최고의 이혼), and "When Time Stopped" (시간이 멈추는 그 때). Digressions: 0:55 - "Overcooked 2 - Surf and Turf" and "World of Warcraft" 3:02 - "I...

We miss "100 Days My Prince" so much. Judy and Teresa tried to distract themselves with these other fall dramas, which are frankly disappointing. Prepare yourself for much ranting.  6:04 - "Heart Surgeons" (흉부외과) is an SBS medical drama starring Go Soo, Uhm KiJoon and Seo JiHye (Sharon from "Black Knight"!). Teresa likes medical dramas, but couldn't really get into this one. Judy finds the two...

Obligatory shoe-buying! Judy and Teresa facepalm their way through episodes 7-8 of "100 Days My Prince" (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun. What's happened that all the villainous characters this week? The Queen (Oh YeonAh) acts like her talisman is super well-hidden, but it turns out to be pretty lame. Lord Park (Ahn Seok-Hwan) is doing some wacky no...

Quel scandale! Judy and Teresa got tipsy and sassy about episodes 5-6 of "100 Days My Prince" (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun. Teresa is incredulous at Eunuch Yang's (Jo HyunSik) naivete when he's in such a dire situation with the Left State Councillor (Jo SungHa). Judy hopes that the Wondeuk/Crown Prince's (Do KyungSoo) riddle will make sense for...

Madame Etiquette is back! Judy and Teresa are full of conjecture about episodes 3-4 of "100 Days My Prince" (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun. We are not neurologists or psychologists, but is it possible for an amnesiac to recognize the source of fancy fabrics at a glance and yet not remember the basic workings of commerce? We need Wondeuk/Crown Prin...

How dare you not have an archery contest after that setup? Judy and Teresa are loving the plot intricacies in episode 2 of "100 Days My Prince" (100일의 낭군님), a TVN drama starring Do KyungSoo (D.O. from EXO) and Nam JiHyun. Judy and Teresa are perturbed by the advances of Investigator Jong Jaeyoon (Kim SunHo) on the moonlit bridge. Just ask any woman if they enjoy being accosted by a cop in the...

This week's theme is handsome amnesiacs! Judy and Teresa checked out the first episodes of "Devilish Joy" (마성의 기쁨) and "100 Days My Prince" (100일의 낭군님). Which will we pick as our next featured fall Kdrama? 5:00 - "Devilish Joy" (마성의 기쁨) is from MBN and stars Choi JinHyuk and Song HaYoon. The first episode contains so many drama tropes that if you were to make a drinking game of it,...

Kimchi slap! Judy and Teresa are pretty sure they would be the best facilitators after watching "Dramaworld", a Viki webseries starring Liv Hewson, Sean Dulake and Justin Chon. It's also currently available on Netflix! As annoying and inept as Claire (Liv Hewson) was as a facilitator, Judy appreciated the actress being 100% committed to this bonkers series. There were truly some excellent jokes ab...

This week, Judy and Teresa checked out some dramas that our listeners suggested to us in 2018! 2:31 - "Come and Hug Me" (이리와 안아줘) is an MBC drama starring Jang KiYong and Jin KiJoo. In spite of the questionable portrayal of psychopathy, this drama had an intriguing premise of the son of a serial killer falling in love with the victims' family member. How can this relationship possibly work o...

Happy anniversary, everyone! Judy and Teresa are joined by Robert and David to talk about "Along With The Gods: The Two Worlds" (신과 함께: 죄와 벌), the 2017 hit film starring Cha TaeHyun, Ha JungWoo, Ju JiHoon and Kim HyangGi. *SPOILER ALERT* Obviously we spoil everything that happens in thsi film, but we also spoil a scene from "Inside Out", the Pixar film.*** Next week is our "What did we miss...
