K-Drama My Eyes Out

Judy and Teresa talk about four different Korean dramas this week! 1:23 - "Cross" (크로스) is a TVN drama starring Go KyungPyo and Jun SoMin. We are not very impressed with the main revenge plot, but the cinematography and melodrama does intrigue us enough to continue watching. 17:31 - "Mother" (마더) is another TVN drama that stars Lee BoYoung and Heo Yool. It crushed us so thoroughly that we're...
