Happy New Year! We\'re at episode 15! To start\\xa02017, Judy and Linda talk about episodes 5-6 of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (\\uc4f8\\uc4f8\\ud558\\uace0 \\ucc2c\\ub780\\ud558\\uc2e0 \\ub3c4\\uae68\\ube44), starring Gong Yoo, KimGoEun and LeeDongWook.

In this episode, Judy was skeptical that Euntak (Kim GoEun), a high school senior, can\'t interpret the Chinese characters in Kim Shin (Gong Yoo)\'s diary. Isn\'t she a high school senior, who\'s so smart that she doesn\'t even need extra classes? Linda wondered if they still teach Chinese characters in school, so Judy did some extra Googling and discovered that they teach it in middle school and high school. There\'s even an MBC news article from 2015, that reports on the discussion about whether Chinese characters should be included in the elementary school curriculum.

Linda finds herself melting to Gong Yoo\'s voice. It\'s irresistible. Can someone in Korea convince this man to record an audiobook please? We would buy all of it.\\xa0

Judy finally solves the mystery of why the servants of Kim Shin skip a generation. It\'s a solid theory. Tune in to find out.

We also received our first listener e-mail! Squeeeee!
