This week, Judy and Linda find that problems quickly stop being\\xa0problems in episodes 13-14 of "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" (\\uc5ed\\ub3c4\\uc694\\uc815 \\uae40\\ubcf5\\uc8fc), starring\\xa0Lee SungKyung and Nam JooHyuk.

Judy posits the existence of a store that caters exclusively to protesters who are in need of fancy banners, bandannas and drums. Linda finds herself sympathizing - gasp! - with\\xa0Shiho (Kyung SooJin), after her overdose-related personality transplant. Judy and Linda applaud Bokjoo\'s (Lee SungKyung) grasp of the English language on a text that she sends to Joonhyung (Nam JooHyuk). On a more serious note, Judy and Linda discuss the portrayal of psychiatry in recent K-dramas and the issue of\\xa0nepotism\\xa0in Korean society.\\xa0
