Judy and Linda are falling into episodes 3-4 of "Because This Is My First Life" (\\uc774\\ubc88 \\uc0dd\\uc740 \\ucc98\\uc74c\\uc774\\ub77c), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi.

Judy and Linda are concerned about Koreans\' attitudes towards dating and marriage. Doesn\'t anyone get married because they actually genuinely enjoy each other\'s company? These two episodes also happened to coincide with the #MeToo campaign, which was bitterly apropos, considering the BS that Jiho (Jung SoMin) and Sooji (Esom) have to go through.
