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" (\\ubbf8\\uc2a4\\ub9c8), "Matrimonial Chaos" (\\ucd5c\\uace0\\uc758 \\uc774\\ud63c) and "The Player" (\\ud50c\\ub808\\uc774\\uc5b4).

Digressions:

0:42 - Teresa has been watching "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon"

3:17 - Judy\'s farewell to "Witcher 3"

5:53 - "Live" (\\ub77c\\uc774\\ube0c) is an excellent frontline cop drama from TVN starring Jung YuMi, Lee KwangSoo, Bae SeongWoo and Bae JongOk. It\'s actually from March, but whaddya gonna do, we just felt like watching it. Judy wishes there could be a realistic drama like this, but for medical staff who are not doctors.\\xa0

23:29 - "The Ghost Detective" (\\uc624\\ub298\\uc758 \\ud0d0\\uc815) is a supernatural drama from KBS starring Daniel Choi, Park EunBin and Lee JiAh. We\'re not quite sure if this first hour is effectively setting up the premise of a detective who specializes in the paranormal. It is definitely creepy, though. Special shout out to Judy\'s dog, Bori, for not being a possessed dog that kidnaps children.

47:00 - "Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter" (\\uacc4\\ub8e1\\uc120\\ub140\\uc804) is a TVN show starring Moon ChaeWon, Yoon HyunMin, Seo JiHoon and Go DooShim. We were looking forward to a lighthearted, romantic drama based on a folk tale, and what we got was a disappointing production with grating characters, inconsistencies in the basic premise, and the most awful-looking CGI cat we\'ve ever seen.\\xa0
