Happy New Year! We're at episode 15! To start 2017, Judy and Linda talk about episodes 5-6 of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비), starring Gong Yoo, KimGoEun and LeeDongWook. In this episode, Judy was skeptical that Euntak (Kim GoEun), a high school senior, can't interpret the Chinese characters in Kim Shin (Gong Yoo)'s diary. Isn't she a high school senior, who's so smart that she doesn't even need extra classes? Linda wondered if they still teach Chinese characters in school, s...

In this week's episode, Judy and Linda talk about episodes 3-4 of "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비) from TVN. It stars Gong Yoo, Kim GoEun and Lee DongWook. Because it was originally intended to be released as part of last week's podcast, you'll notice it's slightly shorter than our normal ramblings. To be quite honest, not much happened in episodes 3 and 4 that was worth talking about. Do you really need us to delve into the sammich boy from Paris? We're not quite sure how "Gob...

Linda and Judy are starting a new series this week, "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비) from TVN. It stars Gong Yoo, Kim GoEun and Lee DongWook. We had a lot of questions. How did Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) travel from Korea to Canada in the 11th century with his mortal servant? Why must this drama have a romance between a 19 year-old Ji Euntak (Kim GoEun) and a 939 year-old? Why do we love watching the Goblin-Grim Reaper bromance more than the Goblin-Euntak interaction? Most importantly...

In this week's episode, Judy and Linda talk about episodes 7 and 8 of the SBS drama, "Legend of the Blue Sea", starring Lee Minho and Jun Jihyun. We were really hopeful after last week's events, but we can't seem to find a foothold in this drama. As talented as the main actors are, the plot is so bloated with events and characters that are barely explained, let alone likable. Rather than continue with this series and bore you to tears with our sighs, we've decided to move onto another series for...

Whew! After much discussion, Judy and Linda have decided to continue watching "The Legend of the Blue Sea", starring Lee Minho and Jun Jihyun. It was getting a bit dicey there. This week, they are discussing episodes 5-6, which they found so much more enjoyable than previous episodes. Judy goes on a rant about how no one is actually doing anything helpful during the code on Simcheong in the emergency room. That's from approx 53-58 minute mark, so if medical stuff doesn't interest you, please ski...

This week, Linda and Judy discuss episodes 3-4 of the SBS drama, "Legend of the Blue Sea" (푸른 바다의 전설), starring Lee Minho and Jun Jihyun. We are having a rather difficult time with this drama. The weird pacing means the show has too much time to kill, which it attempts and fails to fill up with miserable side characters that we care nothing about. Jun Jihyun, as always, is a delight. Sadly, there isn't enough fun interaction between her character and Lee Minho's, because they have to spend episo...

Ah, we finally have a new drama to start watching and it's "The Legend of the Blue Sea"! It's on SBS and stars Lee Minho and Jun Jihyun. Special drop-in guest, Robert, joined us for about 5 minutes near the end of the episode. What is up with the ridiculous retconning of mermaids in this drama? Why do they have so many powers? Is Shimcheong (Jun Jihyun) a mermaid who also travelled through space and time to go from Joseon-era Korea to modern Spain or is she an immortal being that actually swam a...

This week, Judy and Linda watched "A Werewolf Boy" (2012), starring Linda's favourite actor, Song Joongki, and Park Boyoung. They are joined by a special guest, Robert, who inadvertently watched the second half of the movie. Let's face it though, he didn't miss much in the first half. We were...confused. Is this a romantic movie? Judy was convinced it was supposed to be a romance that didn't quite achieve the emotional payoff that it was hoping for. Linda and Robert thought that the romantic fee...

Oh noes! "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" (구르미 그린 달빛) is over. Judy and Linda discuss the final four episodes of the KBS2 drama starring Park Bogum, Kim Yoojung and Jinyoung (from B1A4). The ending left us feeling strangely unfulfilled. Episodes 15 and 16 felt like the showrunners were killing time until they had to wrap everything up in episodes 17 and 18 with a neat little bow. Some clarifications: 1) King Sunjo (순조, the Crown Prince's father) did not actually die within the timeline of this drama....

Hi guys! Judy is currently on vacation in Korea, so we had to record this ahead of time. This means that we won't be able to discuss the final four episodes of Moonlight Drawn by Clouds until end of October. Instead, we watched the first episodes of various K-Dramas, like Scarlet Heart:Ryeo, Reply 1988, Tomorrow Cantabile, I Remember You (aka Hello Monster), Descendants of the Sun and Doctors. Korean terms: 바둑: [ba-dook] Korean chess. 애교살: [ae-gyo-sal] bags under eyes, thought to make a person l...

In our 6th episode, Judy and Linda discuss episodes 13 and 14 of the KBS2 drama, Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (구르미 그린 달빛), starring Kim Yoojung, Park Bogum and Jinyoung (B1A4). This week left us emotionally exhausted from the heartbreak portrayed by the Crown Prince, Samnom (now Raon, we guess?), Yoonsung and Hayun. Judy cried. A lot. Linda was bloodthirsty and claimed to be so, for "good reasons". Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. All the storylines are slowly starting to come together and we hope they pay off....

This week, Judy and Linda discuss episodes 11 and 12 of the KBS2 drama, Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (구르미 그린 달빛), starring Kim Yoojung, Park Bogum and Jinyoung (B1A4). There were many exciting moments in these two episodes. We see Yoonsung's dark side again (hooray!) and the cool fight scene helps break up the cheesy romance scenes. Judy and Linda reveal their not-so-secret crush on Captain America and wish Samnom would go back to being a self-sufficient woman who can defend herself. Korean terms: ...

We have a confession to make. We were rather disappointed by episode 9 of Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (구르미 그린 달빛). The acting, especially that of Park Bogum, is still superb, but we found the quick jumps between all the side plots very tedious to follow. Come on, guys, we know why we watch this show and it's not for the nonsensical rebellion storyline. And where was Yoonsung (Jinyoung from B1A4) in the episode? Thankfully, episode 10 gave us all the sugarcoated romance our hearts desired between S...

It's our third episode! Judy thought she would have to tear her hair out after another issue with her external hard drive, but it's fixed now. You may hear some weird changes in sound between the 44-45 minute mark. Sorry. But we have audio clips from the drama embedded in the podcast now. We're so fancy! In this episode of K-Drama My Eyes Out, we discuss episodes 7 and 8 of Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (구르미 그린 달빛), starring Kim Yoojung, Park Bogum and Jinyoung. Linda and Judy spend way too much tim...

In the second episode of the K-Drama My Eyes Out podcast, Linda and Judy discuss episodes 5 and 6 of Moonlight Drawn by Clouds (구르미 그린 달빛) starring Kim Yoojung, Park Bogum and Jinyoung.

Welcome to our brand new podcast, K-Drama My Eyes Out. In our inaugural episode, we discuss the first 4 episodes of the KBS2 drama, "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds", aka "Lovers in the Moonlight". We discuss how Linda can never seem to remember the actual name of the drama and how obsessed/frustrated Judy is with the slow-mo romantic shots. Some Korean terms we cover: 가채: [ga-che] intricate wig worn by women. 도복: [do-bok] white uniform worn when performing martial arts - Yes, Judy mistakenly and repe...
