This week, Judy and Linda may have had some wine while they discuss episodes 5 and 6 of \\u201cWeightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo\\u201d (\\uc5ed\\ub3c4\\uc694\\uc815 \\uae40\\ubcf5\\uc8fc), starring Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk.

There are some digressions (more than usual):

1) 8:17-10:19 - Judy and Linda are crotchety about what the young people are doing to their jeans nowadays.

2) 11:37-14:05 - Judy and Linda talk about their favourite birds.

3) 1:13:02-1:15:59 - Judy and Linda "research" the magical health properties of abalone.

Bokjoo (Lee SungKyung) and Joonhyung (Nam JooHyuk) are so charming and naturally sweet together, rather than annoyingly saccharine. We also love Dr. Jaeyi (Lee JaeYoon), even though he\'s weirdly pleased when Bokjoo praises his appearance.\\xa0Judy gets angry at the non-bagels featured in the show. Linda claims that she could gain 10lb in 2 days and wonders why it\'s such a big deal for Bokjoo.

Sound clips in the show:

1) Click\\xa0here\\xa0for the eagle screech.

2) "Sailor Moon" transformation music by Takanori Arisawa.

3) "Starcraft Terran Theme" by Glenn Stafford.

4) "Sensei and Ninomiya-Kun" from season 1, episode 3 of "Minami-ke". If you like "Weightlifting Fairy", you\'ll probably enjoy "Minami-ke".
