OOF. Judy and Linda were pretty disappointed by the scant selection of K-dramas this winter. We did find an unexpected gem, though!\\xa0

Digressions:\\xa0\\xa0

1:08 \\u2013 Listener E-mails! We get listener feedback on \\u201cBridgerton\\u201d, and the terrible dramas we watched for Episode 163!\\xa0\\xa0

18:46 \\u2013 Linda started watching "Youn\'s Stay" (\\uc724\\uc2a4\\ud14c\\uc774), a spin-off of the variety show, \\u201cYoun\\u2019s Kitchen\\u201d (\\uc724\\uc2dd\\ub2f9) . We hope it becomes accessible to non-Korean speaking viewers soon!\\xa0\\xa0

25:21 \\u2013 Judy scratched her H.P. Lovecraft itch by watching "Color Out of Space" (2019) starring Nicolas Cage.\\xa0\\xa0

27:30 \\u2013 Judy continues her Nicolas Cage run with the Netflix series, "History of Swear Words"!\\xa0\\xa0

29:16 - "Run On" (\\ub7f0\\uc628) is a JTBC romantic comedy (???), starring Im SiWan, Shin SeKyung and SooYoung (Girl\'s Generation). As predicted, SooYoung is the best part about this drama, but we\'re not about to watch hours of something just for 5 minutes of catty fun.\\xa0

39:43 - "True Beauty" (\\uc5ec\\uc2e0\\uac15\\ub9bc) is a godawful TVN drama based on a webtoon (sigh). It stars Moon GaYoung and Cha EunWoo. It\'s basically "My ID is Gangnam Beauty" all over again, but makeup instead of plastic surgery! We HATED all the characters in this.\\xa0

48:05 - "The Penthouse" (\\ud39c\\ud2b8\\ud558\\uc6b0\\uc2a4) is an absolutely bonkers drama from SBS, starring Eugene (S.E.S) and Kim SoYeon. Can you believe this was our second choice?

1:04:39 - "Lovestruck in the City" (\\ub3c4\\uc2dc\\ub0a8\\ub140\\uc758 \\uc0ac\\ub791\\ubc95) is a uniquely crafted drama from KakaoTV, and stars Ji ChangWook and Kim JiWon. Judy liked the natural acting in the slice-of-life flashbacks of the characters, while Linda was annoyed by the forced premise and lack of plot.

1:15:03 - "The Uncanny Counter" (\\uacbd\\uc774\\ub85c\\uc6b4 \\uc18c\\ubb38) was a last minute addition to this episode. It\'s an OCN supernatural comedy, starring Jo ByungGyu, Kim SeJeong, Yoon JoonSang and Yeom HyeRan. The news that the writer dropped out in episode 13 is very concerning to us, but so far we are enjoying the chemistry between the characters!
