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" (\\ubc30\\ub4dc\\ud30c\\ud30c), "Matrimonial Chaos" (\\ucd5c\\uace0\\uc758 \\uc774\\ud63c), and "When Time Stopped" (\\uc2dc\\uac04\\uc774 \\uba48\\ucd94\\ub294 \\uadf8 \\ub54c).

Digressions:

0:55 - "Overcooked 2 - Surf and Turf" and "World of Warcraft"

3:02 - "It\'s Okay, That\'s Love" (\\uad1c\\ucc2e\\uc544, \\uc0ac\\ub791\\uc774\\uc57c)

4:27 -\\xa0Listener E-mail!

6:32 - "Ms. Ma, Nemesis" (\\ubbf8\\uc2a4\\ub9c8) is a drama from SBS, which continues the fine tradition of police officers being portrayed as inept nincompoops. It stars Kim YunJin (do you guys remember her from "Lost"?) and Jung WoongIn. Finally a detective drama, with a female lead to boot! Judy and Teresa loved every minute of it, despite its faults.

33:17 -\\xa0"The Smile Has Left Your Eyes" (\\ud558\\ub298\\uc5d0\\uc11c \\ub0b4\\ub9ac\\ub294 \\uc77c\\uc5b5\\uac1c\\uc758 \\ubcc4) is a supremely disappointing offering from TVN. It stars Seo InGuk, Jung SoMin and Park SungWoong, who are definitely trying their best with some plodding material. Hey, this one also has useless cop characters!

44:47 -\\xa0"The Player" (\\ud50c\\ub808\\uc774\\uc5b4) is a cool heist drama from OCN and stars Song SeungHun, Krystal Jung, Lee SiEon, Tae WonSuk and Kim WonHae. Judy and Teresa liked the twist of having the main characters using their criminal talents against bigger crooks to help the law, while also helping themselves.

Some Korean terms:

\\ucf69\\ubc25: [kong-bap] rice with beans/peas; "to eat \\ucf69\\ubc25" is a euphemism for being in prison.\\xa0

\\uc7a5\\ub85c\\ub2d8: [jang-lo-nim] an elder of the church.

\\uc7a5\\uc778\\ub2d8: [jang-in-nim] how a man refers to one\'s father-in-law.

\\uc7a5\\ubaa8\\ub2d8: [jang-mo-nim] how a man refers to one\'s mother-in-law.\\xa0
