KDMEO Episode 158 – Fall 2020 First Impressions

K-Drama My Eyes Out

WELCOME TO SEASON 4 OF K-DRAMA MY EYES OUT!

Judy, Linda and Teresa are excited to talk about the hottest Korean dramas of Fall 2020!

Digressions:

1:40 - New Patreon donors and Listener E-mails!

7:37 - ***SPOILERS*** Follow-up on "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" (사이코지만 괜찮아)

20:45 - Judy did NOT finish "Was It Love" (우리, 사랑했을까)

23:51 - Teresa tried out some slice of life animes: "A Place Further than the Universe" (宇宙よりも遠い場所), "Laid-Back Camp" (ゆるキャン△)

25:14 - Linda watched the controversial "Emily in Paris"

28:33 - Judy is hooked on the unapologetically Canadian "Murdoch Mysteries"

33:01 - Linda discovered that Park SoDam does not make "Cinderella and the Four Knights" (신데렐라와 네 명의 기사) worth watching

39:03 - Seriously, what is up with Subway?

35:58 - "Record of Youth" (청춘기록) is a TVN drama about chasing your dreams and stars Park BoGum, Park SoDam and Byeon WooSeok. Linda wishes that it had more interesting material for Park BoGum and Park SoDam to sink their teeth into.

56:07 - "The School Nurse Files" (보건교사 안은영) is a super quirky Netflix original series based on a Korean web novel. It stars Jung YuMi and Nam JooHyuk as refreshingly normal-looking staff at a high school. BUFFY VIBES, said everyone at the Netflix party we hosted.

1:03:40 - "Tale of the Nine Tailed" (구미호뎐) is a glossy supernatural series starring Lee DongWook and Jo BoAh. Lee DongWook is excellent as a world-weary nine-tailed fox who gave up his powers for love. Can it be as good as Goblin?

1:25:40 - "Private Lives" (사생활) is a JTBC drama that lured us in with SeoHyun from Girls' Generation and Go GyungPyo. What we wanted and expected was a sexy show about con artists doing heists. What JTBC says it's giving us is something about corporate corruption? We'll probably keep watching for SeoHyun's wigs and outfits and Go GyungPyo's boyish good looks.

Some Korean terms:

여우고개: [yeo-oo-go-gae] fox mountain pass.
