This week, Judy and Teresa checked out some dramas that our listeners suggested to us in 2018!

2:31 - "Come and Hug Me" (\\uc774\\ub9ac\\uc640 \\uc548\\uc544\\uc918) 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 out? Judy will never find out, because she abandoned this drama as soon as there was a dog in danger.\\xa0

25:21 - "Mister Sunshine" (\\ubbf8\\uc2a4\\ud130 \\uc158\\uc0e4\\uc778) is a lush TVN production starring Lee ByungHun, Kim Taeri, Yoo YeonSeok and Kim MinJung. The English-speaking actors are, quite honestly, not the worst we\'ve seen in Korean dramas. We feel embarrassed about our lack of knowledge about that time in history, but not as much as when the drama hamfistedly tells the viewers about the amazing nobility of the American soldiers and the determination of the Korean people.\\xa0

52:33 - "Are You Human Too?" (\\ub108\\ub3c4 \\uc778\\uac04\\uc774\\ub2c8?) is a KBS drama starring Seo KangJoon and Gong SeungYeon. It was absolutely ludicrous in its premise, which can\'t have been the intention of the production team, right? Teresa comes up with a better plan for the AI researcher to get her son back.\\xa0\\xa0

1:11:05 - "Thirty But Seventeen" (\\uc11c\\ub978\\uc774\\uc9c0\\ub9cc \\uc5f4\\uc77c\\uacf1\\uc785\\ub2c8\\ub2e4) is from SBS and stars Yang SeJong and Shin HyeSun. Teresa is creeped out by the male lead\'s plan to charm his crush with a portrait of her, while Judy is inclined to forgive certain teenaged romantic notions. Also, why are nurses always the annoying incompetent characters in a Kdrama hospital?
