K-Drama My Eyes Out

Judy and Teresa are shaking their heads through episodes 11-12 of "Black Knight" (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee. Judy is incredibly disappointed with Sharon (Seo JiHye) for being completely inept at vengeance, something at which all Koreans should excel. The only thing Sharon manages to steal away from Haera is a $2 face mask. Yeah, we said it. Te...

Judy and Teresa croak and sniffle their way through episodes 9-10 of " Black Knight (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee. This week's episodes would draw us in with tense dramatic moments and then immediately ruin the mood with soap opera nonsense. Judy is loving the oh-so-convenient friendship between Sharon (Seo JiHye), Jihoon (Kim HyunJoon) and Gon (...

It's crucial to plan your vengeance properly! Judy and Teresa scoff/snort their way through episodes 7-8 of "Black Knight" (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee. Judy and Teresa reveal their superficial sides as they discover their reasons for disliking Sooho (Kim RaeWon) and Gon (Park SungHoon), respectively. Judy thinks of a more effective way for Shar...

Happy Valentine's Day! Judy and Teresa delve into the characters' tragic past lives in episodes 5-6 of " Black Knight (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee. Judy and Teresa theorize that Sooho (Kim RaeWon) is a 모태솔로 (Korean term for someone who's never dated), which would explain his dead fish kiss and his idea of romance in general. Judy thinks past...

Judy and Teresa slog through episodes 3-4 of " Black Knight (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee. Judy decides to suffer from selective amnesia whenever Haera (Shin SeKyung) and Sooho (Kim RaeWon) have a conversation. She finds Gon (Park SungHoon) is more appealing than Sooho, who is, frankly, a manipulative douchebag. Teresa is the better person and gi...

It's Teresa's first episode! She and Judy talk about episodes 1-2 of "Black Knight" (흑기사), a KBS drama, named after a Korean tradition which originates from unhealthy societal attitudes towards alcohol consumption. Hooray! It stars Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee. Judy is terribly worried that Teresa will get an awful impression of Koreans from watching the superficial charac...

It's Linda's final episode! Judy and Linda are tearing apart episodes 15-16 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi. 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...

Judy and Linda laud episodes 13-14 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라) for managing to avoid the dreaded Penultimate Week Syndrome! This TVN Korean drama stars Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi. Judy and Linda suspect that the drama writers don't actually understand Doris Lessing's novel, "To Room Nineteen". This will only become more apparent next week when we talk about episodes 15-16...

Judy and Linda crave a little bit more from episodes 11-12 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi. 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 is excited that Sooji (Esom) finally...

Judy and Linda climb up Maslow's hierarchy of needs as they talk about episodes 9-10 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi. Apparently every single character has facial blindness, because no one recognizes Boknam (Kim MinKyu), even though he was all over the place at Jiho (Jung SoMin) and Sehee's (Lee MinKi) wedding. Judy and...

Judy and Linda are just brimming with PSAs after watching episodes 7-8 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi. Judy and Linda wonder if Koreans don't have the concept of "stranger danger", since Jiho (Jung SoMin) is completely lacking in street smarts in these two episodes. Judy is puzzled by people constantly reiterating that...

Judy and Linda are excited (?!) by the fake wedding in episodes 5-6 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi. As much as we enjoyed watching the events of these two episodes, we also cried quite a bit, mainly because of Jiho's mom (Kim SunYoung). And if we sound a bit downtrodden by Jiho (Jung SoMin) and her friends' unfortunate...

Judy and Linda are falling into episodes 3-4 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi. 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, whi...

Judy and Linda are finally starting a new drama! We are loving episodes 1-2 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi. Judy and Linda are deeply moved by the drama's realistic portrayal of Korea's patriarchal society. SMASH THE SYSTEM!!! Ahem. Judy wants to know what lipstick brand Sooji (Esom) is using. How is that not a sponsors...

Judy and Linda are flabbergasted by episodes 37-40 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon. We're relieved and sad that it ended like this. Welp, the telemedicine threat is resolved! We...cared? Judy and Linda are so uninterested in the romance between Eunjae (Ha JiWon) and Hyun (Kang MinHyuk), that even the provocative night at a hotel toge...

Judy and Linda struggle through the dreaded penultimate week (i.e. episodes 33-36) of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon. 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. This is aggravated by the fact that Eunjae (HaJi...

Judy and Linda yadda yadda and cringe through episodes 29-32 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon. Judy and Linda discuss the use of blood as a weapon. Judy theorizes that Hyun's (Kang MinHyuk) body cavity is radioactive, because how else would Eunjae (Ha JiWon) have such flattering lighting during surgery? Linda struggles to remember how...

Judy and Linda were amused but also impatient with episodes 25-28 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon. This week, it's Hyun's (Kang MinHyuk) turn to wrap up his family drama. Just like last week, Judy and Linda find it unbelievable that Hyun's sister, a heartless harpy who wanted to tell people that her father was dead, suddenly turns in...

This week, Judy and Linda are talking about episodes 21-24 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon, and they cannot believe there are still four weeks left. Linda is angry about Youngeun's (Wang JiEun) emotional blackmailing of Hyun (Kang MinHyuk) while Judy doesn't think that Eunjae (Ha JiWon) is never given enough time by the writers to sh...

Judy and Linda can't believe what's going on in episodes 17-20 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon. Judy and Linda are confused about how Youngeun (Wang JiEun) and Eunjae's dad (Cho SungHa) plan on getting away with their respective scams. Linda is having a lot of trouble imagining Jaegul (Lee SeoWon) actually being a rival for Eunjae's...

Judy and Linda are getting whiplash this week from the romantic subplots in episodes 13-16 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선) starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon. Our desperate wish for Eunjae (Ha JiWon) and Hyun (Kang MinHyuk) to remain supportive friends has been dashed. This week introduces their romantic interest in each other, and then adds two more characters into the mix to form the mos...

Judy and Linda get very emotional about episodes 9-12 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선) starring Ha JiWon and Kang Minhyuk. Even as we were feeling devastated by the events in this week's episodes (but in a good way?), we were also reeling from the drastic in shift in tone from one scene to the next. This week, we examine the medical ethics of treating one's family or friends and the concepts of "inform...

Judy and Linda are relieved that episodes 5-8 of "Hospital Ship" (병원선) were posted on Dramafever in time for them to be able to record this episode of K-Drama My Eyes Out. This MBC medical drama features Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk, Lee SeoWon and Kim InSik. Linda and Judy are horrified by the terrible family members and hospital corruption in this drama. Linda has given up on being angry about wris...

Judy and Linda are finally starting a new Korean drama! We watched the first four episodes of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), an MBC drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk, Lee SeoWon and Kim InSik. Judy is annoyed that she couldn't tell apart Kim Jaegul (Lee SeoWon) a.k.a. "Short Face", "Oriental medicine doctor" from Cha Joonyoung (Kim InSik) a.k.a. "Long Face", "Dentist". Linda is weirded out that Kwa...

Happy first anniversary to all our listeners! The idea for this episode comes from our listener, Christina, on our Facebook page. Thank you, Christina! Judy and Linda examined all the Korean dramas they have ever watched and picked their favourites and...what is the antonym of 'favourite'? Please keep in mind that these are our personal opinions! 0:02:57 - Our top 3 Korean dramas 0:13:51 - What Li...
