Some Korean terms:

\\ub2e4\\ubaa8: [da-mo] female investigator in ancient Korea; literally "tea lady". One theory of the title\'s etymology is that these investigators may have been recruited from tea rooms in Koryo dynasty as spies.\\xa0

\\ud574\\uce58: [hae-chi] also known as "haetae" (\\ud574\\ud0dc); an East Asian mythological animal that was said to be able to look into one\'s heart and know of evil doings. For a minor infraction, it would butt you with its horns, but for an unforgivable sin, it would eat you whole.

9:40 - "He is Psychometric" (\\uc0ac\\uc774\\ucf54\\uba54\\ud2b8\\ub9ac \\uadf8\\ub140\\uc11d) is a TVN drama starring Park JinYoung (from GOT7), Shin YeEun and Kim Kwon. We were hoping for crime solving, not high school drama shenanigans. Some of the characters were strangely callous about the fact that they were dealing with murder victims. The police officers continue to be predictably terrible at their jobs.

24:44 - "Radiant" (\\ub208\\uc774 \\ubd80\\uc2dc\\uac8c) is a relatable drama from JTBC. It stars Kim HyeJa, Han JiMin and Nam JooHyuk. Han JiMin plays a sadsack character who has realized that she won\'t be able to achieve her dream of becoming an announcer, but is too afraid to abandon it. Nam JooHyuk is so much better at playing a down-to-earth character (see: Joonhyung from "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo) than a standoffish jerk (see: Habaek from "Bride of the Water God").

38:10 - "Haechi" (\\ud574\\uce58) is a historical drama based around the succession struggles of King Yeongjo, who ruled Joseon from 1724 to 1776. This SBS drama stars Jung IlWoo, Go ARa, Kwon Yul and Park Hoon, who portray an unlikely group of people who will fight corruption and help Prince YeonIng ascend the throne. As with any historical drama based on actual people, Judy fell into a Wikipedia hole.

Next week, we\'re talking about "The Item" (\\uc544\\uc774\\ud15c), "Go Go Waikiki" (\\uc73c\\ub77c\\ucc28\\ucc28 \\uc640\\uc774\\ud0a4\\ud0a4) season 2, and "The Fiery Priest" (\\uc5f4\\ud608\\uc0ac\\uc81c)!\\xa0
