It\'s our Winter 2020 First Impressions episode! Strap yourselves in, because we didn\'t prepare any notes! On purpose!

Digressions:

1:57 \\u2013 We hear from one of our Patreon patrons!

8:04 \\u2013 \\u201cChocolate\\u201d (\\ucd08\\ucf5c\\ub9bf) is a JTBC romantic comedy starring Ha JiWon and Yoon KyeSang. This is giving us major \\u201cHospital Ship\\u201d vibes, which is a terrible thing. Judy and Teresa have a hell of a time trying to tell characters apart. Poor poor Ha JiWon.

30:26 \\u2013 \\u201cQueen: Love and War\\u201d (\\uac04\\ud0dd: \\uc5ec\\uc778\\ub4e4\\uc758 \\uc804\\uc7c1) is a period drama from TV Chosun, which is a broadcasting station that none of us have heard of. It stars Kim MinGyu and Jin SeYun. Teresa is worried that she picked this drama to cover, but it was so wacky that we were weirdly hooked.

57:37 \\u2013 \\u201cCrash Landing On You\\u201d (\\uc0ac\\ub791\\uc758 \\ubd88\\uc2dc\\ucc29) is a TVN drama starring Son YeJin and Hyun Bin. As with most TVN dramas, this is in dire need of some ruthless editing. Judy can\\u2019t believe Linda and Teresa were willing to try this drama even though the main character ends up in North Korea BECAUSE OF A TORNADO.

1:17:58 \\u2013 \\u201cBlack Dog\\u201d (\\ube14\\ub799\\ub3c5) is a ensemble piece from TVN, starring Seo HyunJin as a new teacher trying to muddle through her first job. Linda gives us an insider look into contract teacher positions in Korea.

1:40:36 - What\'s coming out in February? What will we cover next?
