This week, Judy and Linda continue to annoy everyone with their indecisiveness by talking about the second episodes of two MBC K-Drama series: "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" (\\uc5ed\\ub3c4\\uc694\\uc815 \\uae40\\ubcf5\\uc8fc) and "Missing Nine".

Linda gives her first impressions of Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk as the lead characters in "Weightlifting Fairy". Judy desperately wants to eat Korean barbecue. We want to commend the drama for trying to normalize professional psychological help. At the same time, what message is the drama trying to send about body image issues?

"Missing Nine" continues to intrigue\\xa0with its tangle of mysteries. Joonoh (Jung KyungHo) is still annoying and generally useless. Judy and Linda are no outdoorswomen by any means, but they have watched enough "Survivor" and "Lost" to act like know-it-alls.\\xa0

Some Korean terms:

\\ub6b1: [Ddoong] short for \\ub6b1\\ub6b1 ("chubby").

\\uc5ec\\uc790\\ubd84: [yuh-ja-boon] formal way of referring to a woman; lady.

\\uacfc\\uc790: [gwa-ja] snack.

\\uc8fd: [jook] porridge.

Judy refers to a lesser known Jules Verne novel, "Adrift in the Pacific". It\'s a fun read about a group\\xa0of teenagers who are shipwrecked on a deserted island and have to learn to survive by working together. It is totally not like "Lord of the Flies".

Judy also talks about the deep voice of the creepy boss of Legend Entertainment in "Missing Nine". We used an audio clip from episode 1, because\\xa0the character had more dialogue. The audio clip of the Japanese voice we used to illustrate this point is of a character named Akainu from "One Piece".
