Judy and Linda talk about episodes 5-6 of "Strong Woman Do Bong Soon" (\\ud798\\uc388\\uc5ec\\uc790 \\ub3c4\\ubd09\\uc21c), starring Park BoYoung, Park HyungSik and JiSoo.

We briefly discuss our first impressions of the new drama, "Man to Man" starring Park HaeJin, Park SungWoong and Kim MinJung. If you want to avoid spoilers, please skip the section between\\xa003:39-09:27.

If you thought we were hard on Gookdoo (JiSoo) last week, brace yourselves because we are not letting up in this episode. Judy and Linda tug on their collars (is that a phrase?) as they discuss the homogeneous society in Korea and the racism that results from such insularity. There may be some fist shaking at the ineptitude of the fictional police officers.

Some Korean terms:

\\uad6d: [gook] soup.

\\ub180\\uace0\\uc788\\ub124: [nol-go-it-neh] literally "Look who\'s playing around";\\xa0more appropriately "Are you kidding me?"

\\uc798\\uc790\\uc694: [jal-ja-yo] "Sleep well"; This is how Sung SiKyung, a singer and radio host, used to end his radio show.

\\uc790\\uc804\\uac70: [ja-jun-guh] bicycle.

\\ubabb\\ud0c0: [mot-ta] "can\'t ride".

Have you started watching "Man to Man" yet? How did you feel about it? Are Judy and Linda justified in their hatred of Gookdoo? Do you find him gentlemanly or just condescending?\\xa0
