0:05
Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha.
0:06
Speaker 2: I welcome with Steffon. Never told you a protection of
0:08
Speaker 2: iHeart radio.
0:18
Speaker 1: And I I say, any are too scared to try it? Yeah,
0:25
Speaker 1: So welcome to another edition of Feminist Movie Friday, where
0:30
Speaker 1: we kind of abuse that term and just watch things
0:36
Speaker 1: on the televisions and call it that. That's how I'm
0:40
Speaker 1: gonna explain this. Yeah, And obviously, if you've been listening,
0:44
Speaker 1: you may already know that I have dove head first
0:49
Speaker 1: in the world of K dramas. I'm literally that's all
0:54
Speaker 1: I've been watching. I think, outside of when we watch
0:57
Speaker 1: movies for our own episodes for the Feminist Movie Fridays,
1:03
Speaker 1: it's all been K drama. It's just been K dramas.
1:06
Speaker 1: And what I'm talking about is Korean dramas and or sitcoms,
1:09
Speaker 1: and our actions shows a lot of them. And because
1:13
Speaker 1: I am who I am, I'm trying to ring Annie
1:15
Speaker 1: into it kind of like a hostage. You're welcome.
1:19
Speaker 2: It's been fun, you know.
1:22
Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's fair After all the
1:24
Speaker 3: Star Wars I've made you watch, I think it's fair game.
1:26
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, because we've watched the same
1:29
Speaker 1: things repeatedly for yours, but I'm giving you new episodes
1:35
Speaker 1: that are all like an hour and fifteen minutes long
1:37
Speaker 1: and usually sixteen to twenty episodes, so I feel like
1:40
Speaker 1: it's probably uneven at this point. I don't know. I
1:43
Speaker 1: don't know, but yes, So for this feminist movie, feminist
1:48
Speaker 1: showing of the month, we are doing Strong Woman bon
1:53
Speaker 1: soon or it's sometimes called strong Girl, so the Korean pronunciation.
1:57
Speaker 1: And I'm trying, you know, I'm trying to really get
1:59
Speaker 1: into my culture. Is him shun yo ja dobunksen him
2:04
Speaker 1: shun yojab dobunksen. I did It, I Didn't which originally
2:08
Speaker 1: aired in twenty seventeen and has been held as one
2:11
Speaker 1: of the all time favorites by many around the world
2:16
Speaker 1: and apparently Annie, there is a follow up coming soon
2:21
Speaker 1: with the cameo of the original lead couple that we
2:25
Speaker 1: now love since you watched it, so let me get
2:29
Speaker 1: a review from you. How did you feel about this show?
2:31
Speaker 2: It was fun.
2:34
Speaker 3: So just like some background listeners, essentially because as we've discussed,
2:40
Speaker 3: I had my refrigerator stuff and the Samantha had her
2:43
Speaker 3: more job related religious trauma. I need to break stuff.
2:50
Speaker 3: We were discussing about doing this about the K dramas,
2:54
Speaker 3: and it kind of came up a little last minute.
2:57
Speaker 3: So I did watch the tire sixteen episodes in two days,
3:04
Speaker 3: I think, and it was very heavy loaded on the
3:07
Speaker 3: second day. But no, I really enjoyed it. I thought
3:11
Speaker 3: it was fun. I didn't expect because it has sort
3:15
Speaker 3: of a like superhero element and then it's got like
3:17
Speaker 3: a serial killer Elliott, so it had a lot of
3:22
Speaker 3: things going on that I was like, oh, okay, yeah, okay,
3:27
Speaker 3: and then it was of course, which I know we'll
3:29
Speaker 3: talk about. It had a lot of a lot of
3:32
Speaker 3: tropes that were very funny of like, you know, just
3:36
Speaker 3: the over the top gas being and the love triangle
3:43
Speaker 3: and just all of these characters that were very fun
3:47
Speaker 3: to get to know and to watch.
3:49
Speaker 2: So yeah, I had a good time.
3:50
Speaker 3: I enjoyed it. It was not what I expected, but
3:52
Speaker 3: I really liked it.
3:53
Speaker 1: Okay, well, were you expecting out of curiosity?
3:56
Speaker 3: Well, you have kind of just given me the title,
3:58
Speaker 3: So I was of thinking that it was going to
4:01
Speaker 3: be more about I don't know, about like a woman
4:05
Speaker 3: trying to uh to make it in the office world
4:11
Speaker 3: and has not taking any from any dudes.
4:15
Speaker 2: I don't know you emotional characteristics.
4:22
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was expecting the like actual like Superhero.
4:27
Speaker 1: Yes, that's even better annoying that you're going to that
4:32
Speaker 1: you watched the right one on this one.
4:34
Speaker 2: That's true, Well I double check. I was like, look,
4:38
Speaker 2: I do not need another misapp.
4:41
Speaker 3: If I'm gonna watch sixteen episodes of something, you need
4:45
Speaker 3: to make sure that it's the right Yes.
4:48
Speaker 1: So there were several that we were talking about doing.
4:50
Speaker 1: This is one because I thought it was an interesting
4:53
Speaker 1: because it was interestingly new, and people have been hailing
4:56
Speaker 1: it as a feminist look, which is kind of funny
4:59
Speaker 1: because I'm like, oh, I don't know if it's truly filminous,
5:02
Speaker 1: but I get what they're trying to do, as well
5:05
Speaker 1: as the fact that the others were newer, And I
5:08
Speaker 1: was like, I don't know if she like, we don't
5:10
Speaker 1: want to spoil it for those who do love Kjramas,
5:12
Speaker 1: and if you do, shout it out to me, it's
5:14
Speaker 1: like one of the most alchemy of souls, which I
5:16
Speaker 1: really really liked. And then I was like, wait, it
5:18
Speaker 1: just came out this year last year, not too long ago,
5:21
Speaker 1: so I don't want to ruin it for everyone. But
5:24
Speaker 1: if you like it, tell me because I'm waking it.
5:27
Speaker 1: So in this grab bag of sixteen episodes slash probably
5:32
Speaker 1: what eighteen hours worth of content, I'm just going to
5:35
Speaker 1: throw out the plot the best I can. Again, my
5:38
Speaker 1: Korean's very sloppy, so sorry in advance. I'm trying. I'm
5:42
Speaker 1: trying to get to my culture. It's hard. So we
5:46
Speaker 1: have the main character Do Bonksen, who's played by Korean
5:50
Speaker 1: star and she is a huge star Park Boyong, who
5:54
Speaker 1: is a woman with superhuman strength which is given to
5:58
Speaker 1: all the women of the Dough family. The gift does
6:01
Speaker 1: have his limits. If a woman hurts someone or abuses
6:05
Speaker 1: it like her mother did, then they lose that gift.
6:09
Speaker 1: And for her, she's tried to control and hide her
6:13
Speaker 1: powers because she's trying to look fragile and weak to
6:18
Speaker 1: be loved. But that's a whole different that's coming later.
6:21
Speaker 1: So then we also have the male lead on Mignyuk,
6:25
Speaker 1: which is played by k Pop idol Park Kyung Slick,
6:28
Speaker 1: who was also in if you've ever watched it the
6:31
Speaker 1: airs on Netflix is called The Inheritors with Lehmanhoe who
6:35
Speaker 1: is a delight and that whole show is very problematic.
6:39
Speaker 1: But I didn't make you watch it because I was like,
6:41
Speaker 1: this is too much, it's soy anyway, But yes, he
6:44
Speaker 1: is at the male lead here, who is a rich
6:47
Speaker 1: boy who owns a gaming company and is being threatened
6:51
Speaker 1: by an anonymous offender that we find out later. And
6:56
Speaker 1: then we always have a second lead, and this one
6:59
Speaker 1: is the character is in played by the now canceled
7:05
Speaker 1: Chi Sue, who is an upstanding rookie cop. And if
7:09
Speaker 1: you want to know why he's canceled, he was a bully.
7:12
Speaker 1: Apparent he's been accused of being a bully in school,
7:14
Speaker 1: as well as some sexual harassment allegations. The sexual harassment
7:17
Speaker 1: allegations were dismissed, but apparently he did admit to being
7:20
Speaker 1: a bully, so he's canceled. He literally got dropped by
7:23
Speaker 1: his agency. That's how seriously take that. But of course
7:29
Speaker 1: is the high school love of Bonsou's life, but he
7:33
Speaker 1: always seems to be ignoring her and is currently dating
7:36
Speaker 1: a musician who is played by Sharina, who is in
7:42
Speaker 1: several of the kaijuon was that I've been watching and
7:45
Speaker 1: the ones that suggested to you, so like, oh damn,
7:48
Speaker 1: she's big and she's really young. I didn't know how
7:50
Speaker 1: young she was. But she plays the character Hiji, who
7:54
Speaker 1: is the love interest of goop Do but also the
7:58
Speaker 1: love interest of Bankstuen twin brother. So many triangles. We
8:02
Speaker 1: have so many triangles, and the brother is a doctor,
8:07
Speaker 1: so he is kind of more respected, and Bong Shun
8:10
Speaker 1: is played as if she is not very smart, kind
8:13
Speaker 1: of lazy, falls asleep in class, can't speak the English
8:17
Speaker 1: phrases like everybody knows apparently, and that's a big downfall.
8:21
Speaker 1: I don't know, that was oddny whatever. Yes, so we
8:24
Speaker 1: have several triangles, maybe a square when it comes to
8:28
Speaker 1: the love interests all of that. But yes, we have
8:33
Speaker 1: this whole delightful back and forth between the love triangle,
8:37
Speaker 1: love squares, I don't know, circles. Is it a circle
8:41
Speaker 1: at this point? Maybe by these delightful people. Monsoon gets
8:45
Speaker 1: hired as a bodyguard after I mean Huk witnesses her
8:50
Speaker 1: fighting off a whole gangster, which is another subplot, which
8:55
Speaker 1: is the comic relief. When he was bullying a driver
8:58
Speaker 1: and all these kids on the bus and they is she,
9:02
Speaker 1: you know, after trying to just say please don't do this,
9:04
Speaker 1: she has to beat him up. He witnesses this asks
9:07
Speaker 1: her to be a bodyguard. After they go to the
9:09
Speaker 1: police and they all lie about the fact that she
9:11
Speaker 1: saved everybody, you know, the usual. She goes home all
9:17
Speaker 1: sad about do not loving her as per usual, and
9:22
Speaker 1: then we come back and she does go to work
9:24
Speaker 1: for Mignuk and she is his bodyguard, and he, obviously
9:29
Speaker 1: at the very beginning, is finding her very attractive, so adorable,
9:33
Speaker 1: keeps calling her cute and sexy, very inappropriate if you
9:36
Speaker 1: really think about how this boss thing is working. He
9:39
Speaker 1: even has her act as his fiance so he could
9:42
Speaker 1: fight off rumors that he is gay. That seems to
9:45
Speaker 1: be a whole thing in itself. We have goop Doo
9:48
Speaker 1: going in as a police officer and something has happened.
9:52
Speaker 1: What is it? It's the subplot. It's the subplot that
9:54
Speaker 1: no one ever actually expects and the kind of newer
9:58
Speaker 1: to these type of genres in which women are being
10:02
Speaker 1: kidnapped by a really, really really awful evil guy. Like
10:06
Speaker 1: I actually had to tell you, hey, you might want
10:08
Speaker 1: to skip this. It could be triggering because it's fairly
10:12
Speaker 1: serious for such a lighthearted series.
10:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean it was. It was a different.
10:19
Speaker 2: Tonal shift where you're like, oh.
10:23
Speaker 3: It kind of like, you know, cartoony sounds, love Triangle
10:29
Speaker 3: square happening, girl beating up gangsters. And then one of
10:34
Speaker 3: one of my favorite subplots is just them being in
10:36
Speaker 3: the hospital for like the entire thing and just like
10:40
Speaker 3: living in fear that she'll show up again. And then
10:43
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, it's like.
10:44
Speaker 2: And then he's kidding women.
10:47
Speaker 1: And he's i mean triggered warning y'all, he's beating them
10:50
Speaker 1: and they do not hold back on the sounds. At
10:53
Speaker 1: the very least, it's pretty intense. But yeah, So we
10:56
Speaker 1: have this whole subplot that there's a serial kidnapper in
10:59
Speaker 1: her neighborhood, and they kind of go on about and
11:02
Speaker 1: God is very involved in trying to solve this case.
11:05
Speaker 1: He's a little smarket who comes in not you know,
11:09
Speaker 1: not taking any shit. Although I have to say they
11:11
Speaker 1: took a long time to figure this out, even though
11:14
Speaker 1: they were right there a long time. I guess this
11:17
Speaker 1: is how you extend the series whatever. So we have
11:20
Speaker 1: these both these plots happening. At one point. Longsoon does
11:24
Speaker 1: get involved in the subplot because her friend, her best friend,
11:27
Speaker 1: who comes to see her and hangs out with her,
11:29
Speaker 1: gets attacked by this man and is targeted by this kidnapper.
11:32
Speaker 1: She goes and saves her, but she doesn't hurt him
11:36
Speaker 1: or tie him up. She just lets him go. I
11:38
Speaker 1: have so many thoughts of like, why would you do this?
11:41
Speaker 1: Why would you do this? So he runs away in fear.
11:44
Speaker 1: But then she begins to be a target for him
11:49
Speaker 1: as well as goop Do because he goop Do keeps
11:51
Speaker 1: coming around his little workplace and threatening him. So we
11:53
Speaker 1: have all these things, so she becomes a target. We
11:57
Speaker 1: still see her her love interest on Mignyuk coming in
12:03
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who's blackmailing him. He's figuring it out.
12:06
Speaker 1: He's also trying to train her so she could be
12:08
Speaker 1: a superhero, and it's all this, you know, touching, such
12:12
Speaker 1: cute k drama touching, which is barely touching. So it's
12:15
Speaker 1: like they shoulders. Yeah, all that happening. At the same time,
12:19
Speaker 1: they are very much infantilizing her, pretending like she's a child.
12:24
Speaker 1: He sets up a desk with this ridiculous laptop and
12:27
Speaker 1: a screen in his office because he doesn't want her
12:29
Speaker 1: to leave that office. So many other things, but yes,
12:33
Speaker 1: eventually he solves that mystery turns out to be the
12:35
Speaker 1: brother that he liked that has always protected him. He's heartbroken,
12:39
Speaker 1: but they move past it. Now they're onto this kidnapper.
12:43
Speaker 1: At the same time, the bunch of gangsters that we
12:45
Speaker 1: talked about, who is the comic relief, keeps trying to
12:47
Speaker 1: come after Longsoon because they are so hurt that they
12:51
Speaker 1: are their reputation has been tarnished, and sues a big
12:54
Speaker 1: giant fight seen in the warehouse, hilariously done. And then
13:00
Speaker 1: we find out Hutu, who has never known about her strength,
13:02
Speaker 1: finds out how strong she is because she's always faked it,
13:05
Speaker 1: even faking like she couldn't open the jar of jelly Yeah,
13:09
Speaker 1: which was hilarious in itself. Again, we have several drunk scenes.
13:14
Speaker 1: If you know anything about Korean drama, you gotta have
13:16
Speaker 1: those drunk scenes. You gotta have them. I also appreciate
13:20
Speaker 1: that they always put makeup on to show that Asian flush,
13:23
Speaker 1: even though it's cuter on them than it is me,
13:26
Speaker 1: in which I are right red and it looks very bloated.
13:30
Speaker 1: And so we go on too. Back to the kidnapping plot.
13:34
Speaker 1: He is targeting her friend again. He finally captures her
13:39
Speaker 1: he's trying to hide it, and then Soon tells Bomsoon
13:41
Speaker 1: come get her, essentially lays a trap for her, finds
13:44
Speaker 1: out that she can lose her strength. Yeah if she
13:47
Speaker 1: does something bad and accidentally hurts a person, which I
13:49
Speaker 1: feel like it doesn't look like if she doesn't know
13:53
Speaker 1: and she's not purposely trying to hurt someone, why would
13:55
Speaker 1: that be a thing.
13:57
Speaker 2: Right, it's not deliberate, right, Like, I don't get that.
14:00
Speaker 1: But okay, because she's accidentally hurt a lot of people.
14:03
Speaker 1: M h So anyway, again I digress. But so she
14:08
Speaker 1: goes to rescue the friend, accidentally hurts an innocent person.
14:11
Speaker 1: Her strength is taken away, but find her two men
14:15
Speaker 1: in the triangle come and rescue her in which you know,
14:20
Speaker 1: the hugging scene where min Yuk comes through is like,
14:24
Speaker 1: you know, no come back and you think she's dead,
14:27
Speaker 1: but she's not dead. She's just yeah, classed out classic,
14:32
Speaker 1: all the classics. In between all of this, Yes, and
14:35
Speaker 1: we find out that du finally figures out he's in
14:37
Speaker 1: love with her and is trying to compete with men
14:40
Speaker 1: Huck Longsoon Soon finds out that she's in love with
14:44
Speaker 1: the rich boy Minhuck and she's like, oh yeah, he's
14:47
Speaker 1: gonna give me a job, and he does because what
14:49
Speaker 1: her dream was is to develop her own game based
14:52
Speaker 1: on herself. Yeah, and so she's finally made it. He's
14:56
Speaker 1: kind of cats keeps dangling it cruel, but supposedly that's
15:01
Speaker 1: what she's doing. We come back, we have an event
15:05
Speaker 1: which kidnapper runs away. He's being chased and you think
15:07
Speaker 1: he's dead, but no, he's not dead. He comes out
15:09
Speaker 1: from the lake and he's alive. Yay not yay boo boo,
15:14
Speaker 1: I'm met boo, I'm sorry hello. And then he now
15:18
Speaker 1: targets both all of them because he's like, it's all
15:21
Speaker 1: they're faults that I am here and I can't get away,
15:24
Speaker 1: So he targets all of them, goes to the main
15:26
Speaker 1: game main company that Bonksoon and minhok Own I guess
15:32
Speaker 1: doesn't own it, but she works there, goes and then
15:34
Speaker 1: sets up this whole trap, uh, and then puts the
15:37
Speaker 1: straps of bomb on Bonksoon. Of course why not? And
15:41
Speaker 1: you know, we have that lovely scene between Minnehokan and
15:45
Speaker 1: hers all crying about don't ve.
15:48
Speaker 2: Bleeve go away.
15:49
Speaker 1: He's like, I'll never leave you I'm gonna stay here
15:51
Speaker 1: with you, YadA, YadA, YadA, because she wants to save him.
15:55
Speaker 1: She gets her strength back, throws the dynamite in the air.
15:59
Speaker 1: Push fireworks. Oh yeah, no, it comes to firewars somehow.
16:03
Speaker 1: That day becomes fireworks Korean dramas. We love it. They embrace,
16:09
Speaker 1: they come together, they spend the night. He's like, I
16:11
Speaker 1: want you to love me. She's like, I love you,
16:13
Speaker 1: I see you. All these cute little things, I will say,
16:16
Speaker 1: parking sick. He does the best cute sea smile when
16:19
Speaker 1: he's like in love with her. He really is very
16:22
Speaker 1: convincing about how how much he adores her. It is
16:25
Speaker 1: very cute. They're very young, but they are very cute.
16:29
Speaker 1: They're not They're not young to you, they're young to me.
16:31
Speaker 1: So we go on and again. The dude villain runs
16:35
Speaker 1: away somehow and escapes and is trying to leave the country,
16:38
Speaker 1: and everybody comes together to find this dude. They set
16:41
Speaker 1: up this whole trap. He's bought a sniper gun to
16:44
Speaker 1: kill Monsoon, all these things. They set up a whole
16:47
Speaker 1: trap and then they catch him and they entrap him
16:51
Speaker 1: in a wooden prison type of thing, Like I feel
16:55
Speaker 1: like that would be easily movable. It's just I would
16:58
Speaker 1: I'm very confused. This dude like okay, but whatever. So
17:02
Speaker 1: he gets got and when they ask him why he
17:04
Speaker 1: did it, he's like, it's fun. Have you ever had
17:06
Speaker 1: a woman beg all these things? Really gross? Really really gross.
17:10
Speaker 1: We see that Demonsouon has actually rescued all of the
17:13
Speaker 1: women who have been imprisoned and have been kidnapped, including
17:16
Speaker 1: her best friend as we said, and they all I
17:22
Speaker 1: guess she still keeps her secret because no one believes
17:25
Speaker 1: the women who were like this woman rescued us whatever whatnot.
17:28
Speaker 1: And many of them are all traumatized. So that's realistic.
17:32
Speaker 1: I'll give him that. They get they that's realistic. And
17:36
Speaker 1: as we continue, we see the everything going happily ever after,
17:40
Speaker 1: except the izdu does not get love. He gets very sad.
17:44
Speaker 1: He does cry because he can't give the a necklace
17:47
Speaker 1: he wanted. We also see Minhok like put trackers on her,
17:53
Speaker 1: which I thought was odd as well, but you know what,
17:55
Speaker 1: whatever he proposes, they get married. The whole wedding seeing
18:00
Speaker 1: is quite funny. There's comic relief throughout. There's the whole staff,
18:04
Speaker 1: there's the twins of course the mother and the father,
18:06
Speaker 1: and I didn't even talk about the five of the
18:08
Speaker 1: mother and father are a complete train wreck, but they're
18:11
Speaker 1: a complete train wreck. And then she goes on to
18:13
Speaker 1: work at a company, realizing that's not what she wants
18:16
Speaker 1: to do after she develops her own game and that
18:19
Speaker 1: her duty is to save people. So she goes back
18:21
Speaker 1: to being an intern. I guess just to hang out
18:25
Speaker 1: with her now husband, I don't know, So that's what happens.
18:28
Speaker 1: And then they ended up having two kids, twins who
18:31
Speaker 1: are all girls, and they end up accidentally beating up
18:33
Speaker 1: everyone because they are super strong the end.
18:38
Speaker 3: Yes, which I don't know that you've specified, but she
18:41
Speaker 3: is a twin her brother.
18:43
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right.
18:57
Speaker 3: Also, I just want to add in another subplot because
18:59
Speaker 3: there are lot of some plants.
19:00
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:02
Speaker 3: Is that like she threatened the kids?
19:06
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the kids.
19:08
Speaker 3: She threatened these kids who were like, I don't know,
19:11
Speaker 3: be a Jersey Yeah, and then she uh is like,
19:15
Speaker 3: go pick up trash and so they kind of become
19:17
Speaker 3: like a trash brigrade and like her biggest fans.
19:22
Speaker 1: Yes, they are fans. They had a whole sight dedicated
19:24
Speaker 1: to her, Yes, which is quite funny. And she calls
19:27
Speaker 1: my kids. Yes, but she looks younger than all of them, yes, h.
19:32
Speaker 2: Especially like the leader guy. I don't know.
19:34
Speaker 3: Some of them look pretty im but that guy, and
19:36
Speaker 3: maybe he is younger, but to me, he looked a
19:38
Speaker 3: bit older.
19:39
Speaker 1: She is in her thirties now, I think so, like
19:42
Speaker 1: then she was approaching the late twenties early thirties. I
19:46
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what, when it comes to Korean stars,
19:49
Speaker 1: you can never tell. I am always thoroughly confused by
19:54
Speaker 1: what ages they are and truly believe they are like
19:58
Speaker 1: twenty when they're actually thirty. The US is like that too,
20:01
Speaker 1: but not as many actors are like that. There's a few.
20:04
Speaker 1: But here in Korean dramas, I'm like, wow, Wow, you're yoh,
20:11
Speaker 1: you're playing like you're twenty five, but you're actually thirty two,
20:16
Speaker 1: but you look eighteen. I'm so confused by this, right,
20:19
Speaker 1: But that's all of it. They even called the teenage
20:22
Speaker 1: kids call her old like what, Yeah.
20:25
Speaker 3: I would never.
20:27
Speaker 2: Know, but that was a pretty big That was a thing.
20:33
Speaker 3: And then there was like that construction company that was
20:35
Speaker 3: like mostly in the hospital, a lot of it.
20:37
Speaker 2: They had like a r yeah.
20:40
Speaker 1: All gangsters with this one dude who is a pretty
20:44
Speaker 1: big from him and the hnchman who always like losing
20:48
Speaker 1: his teeth and ended up being one of the workers
20:50
Speaker 1: at the software company or a gaming company. They're two
20:54
Speaker 1: big comedians apparently in the South Korean acting world, and
20:59
Speaker 1: like this is there forte and I was like, oh,
21:02
Speaker 1: that makes sense, but that was the entirety of their
21:04
Speaker 1: makeup is to be the clowns I guess of the show.
21:11
Speaker 1: But yeah, you know, we have to go through the
21:12
Speaker 1: K drama list so that you know every I think
21:15
Speaker 1: almost every K drama I have watched has included the
21:19
Speaker 1: cute tiny woman, and they don't most of the leaves
21:22
Speaker 1: that I've seen for like comedies and romantic comedies like
21:26
Speaker 1: these are cute. They are not gorgeously beautiful. They're the
21:30
Speaker 1: cute ones which I found interesting. Lots of food, including takpoki,
21:35
Speaker 1: which is very delicious and I was craving at the
21:37
Speaker 1: entire time. A handsome trouble or the rich dude and
21:41
Speaker 1: the poor girl every time, every day, every damn time.
21:45
Speaker 1: The over eager, annoying mother that's always a trope. It
21:50
Speaker 1: makes me really kind of sad. They have a scene
21:52
Speaker 1: with bumper cars I've seen that in so many of them.
21:55
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, what is this? This is fascinating.
21:59
Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know the aggressive pool is in every
22:06
Speaker 4: I think it's gotten less and less and less, but
22:08
Speaker 4: the whole like yanking the woman by the.
22:10
Speaker 1: Arms is constant. Okay, it's constant. Like I'm like, wow,
22:17
Speaker 1: the idols, as we talked about the main character here,
22:19
Speaker 1: a main leading man was a K pop idol, we
22:22
Speaker 1: always at least have one that I have found out
22:27
Speaker 1: the usage of English as a way to establish a
22:30
Speaker 1: higher class of education, which is interesting because that's kind
22:34
Speaker 1: of that, like the verbiage, the phrases. They really look
22:38
Speaker 1: down on people who can't mm hmm speak this. And
22:41
Speaker 1: I've seen this in CA pop world too. It's like, wow,
22:44
Speaker 1: that's really interesting. Lots of bullies. We have all the
22:47
Speaker 1: bullies again, the abusive and then like specifically abusive bosses.
22:51
Speaker 1: And if anybody is actually from South Korea, can you
22:54
Speaker 1: tell me can supervisors kick their employees because I have
22:58
Speaker 1: seen this a lot Yeah in the K dramas. I
23:01
Speaker 1: am confused. I'm like, if that happened in that workplace,
23:04
Speaker 1: that person would be fired and sued.
23:08
Speaker 2: They definitely brought that up. A lot of like the
23:12
Speaker 2: I will slap you, I will kick you.
23:13
Speaker 1: I was like, whoacuseconstant, it's not just I'm like, wow,
23:17
Speaker 1: what And the mothers. Mothers really like to smack people,
23:20
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. I think they've done well, and
23:24
Speaker 1: like making sure that the men never slap women like
23:26
Speaker 1: that's not a thing. But the aggressive poll is bad
23:28
Speaker 1: enough to me that I'm like, what is what's happening again?
23:32
Speaker 1: A lot of soji drinking drug scenes. That's the constant
23:37
Speaker 1: and the fighting and you know, all the words. The
23:40
Speaker 1: backwards hug. That's a whole thing in dramas that's supposed
23:44
Speaker 1: to be really romantic apparently, and every time you see
23:46
Speaker 1: them doing it, the women always look shocked and dismayed.
23:50
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, apparently it's really intimate, really intimate, just
23:56
Speaker 1: so you know. And then of course product placement, product
23:59
Speaker 1: place everywhere. We talked about how John Oliver talked about
24:02
Speaker 1: Subway and that was all in Goblin or The Guardian
24:06
Speaker 1: that you and I watched because I loved, but it
24:07
Speaker 1: was the entire thing for this one. They are like
24:11
Speaker 1: high end things like the chocolate place, yeah, was one
24:14
Speaker 1: of them. The types of purses that were bought. Was
24:18
Speaker 1: one of them. It was interesting, okay, And then the
24:21
Speaker 1: cars were Volvos, right, yes, higher ends. The Goblin had
24:26
Speaker 1: Maseratis as their vehicles.
24:29
Speaker 4: Yeah.
24:29
Speaker 1: I was like, what does that so? I didn't even know.
24:31
Speaker 1: I can't recognize it. How little I know about cars
24:36
Speaker 1: and how I guess high end cars fancy cars are that.
24:39
Speaker 1: I'm like, huh, I don't know what that is. But yeah,
24:43
Speaker 1: and this is the Volvos. All of them are Volvos,
24:47
Speaker 1: so yeah, those are those are the concept. I'm sure
24:50
Speaker 1: there's more that I have missed. The awkward kisses where
24:54
Speaker 1: they just like the women always look shocked and turned around.
24:56
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my goodness. Yes, but yeah, So we
25:03
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about some of the things because they
25:04
Speaker 1: did flop the lot in this series. They wanted to
25:07
Speaker 1: flip it on purpose, maybe talk about the fact that
25:09
Speaker 1: they felt like this was more feminist and they were
25:11
Speaker 1: pushing it forward, talking about issues like the Me Too movement.
25:15
Speaker 1: There was a point in which a man was groping
25:18
Speaker 1: a woman at the subway, which has been a complaint
25:20
Speaker 1: that has happened within South Korean culture, and her breaking
25:23
Speaker 1: his fingers essentially and walking away. That is a conversation,
25:28
Speaker 1: like they made sure that they addressed it, and they
25:30
Speaker 1: talked about the fact that the take back the Night
25:34
Speaker 1: was brought up as well, and how that was a
25:36
Speaker 1: big feminist movement, which was the point of the subplot
25:40
Speaker 1: to talk about kind of the me too sexual harassment
25:43
Speaker 1: abuse towards women in that culture. And I thought that
25:48
Speaker 1: was interesting because with that they made sure that a
25:50
Speaker 1: woman could protect her own which.
25:53
Speaker 3: Was kind of that conversation, right, And they have that
25:56
Speaker 3: whole scene to where this guy essentially bullying a woman,
26:01
Speaker 3: but they had like a minor car accident and one
26:05
Speaker 3: soon gets out of the car and it's like ah.
26:08
Speaker 2: Da da and he kind of ignores her. And then
26:10
Speaker 2: the rich guy gets out and he's like.
26:12
Speaker 3: Ry and the car's like okay, listens to him and
26:16
Speaker 3: she brings that up, like she chases him tas she
26:19
Speaker 3: gets in the back of the car, makes him get
26:21
Speaker 3: off the road, and was like, so you'll listen when
26:23
Speaker 3: a guy says something and tells you and then you're
26:26
Speaker 3: all polite, but when women are telling you something, then
26:29
Speaker 3: you feel very comfortable like being very rude and being
26:33
Speaker 3: cruel and all of these things, So they definitely addressed
26:37
Speaker 3: stuff like that.
26:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they did. I think they also like the
26:41
Speaker 1: back and forth with this is that whole fragile girl
26:45
Speaker 1: bit infantilizing her a lot, as as the boss would
26:50
Speaker 1: do when it came to her job, her work. He
26:53
Speaker 1: was definitely patronizing because he kept saying she was cute,
26:57
Speaker 1: the protecting from her friend, same thing, and then pretending
27:01
Speaker 1: like she was fragile because she didn't feel like she
27:04
Speaker 1: could attract him because he made that statement and he
27:07
Speaker 1: said I always saw you. He's like, I would have
27:09
Speaker 1: been fine out of you know, knowing who you are,
27:12
Speaker 1: like noy, real you, but to me, you were fragile.
27:15
Speaker 1: I was saying that to describe you because I wanted
27:18
Speaker 1: you type of thing. And I'm like, right, it's so sad,
27:20
Speaker 1: like there's so many things wrong with that moment.
27:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And I mean I don't think at all
27:28
Speaker 3: this is unique to this show, Like we see that
27:32
Speaker 3: all over the place, but it is very like the
27:35
Speaker 3: idea that the man is the protector and that's what
27:39
Speaker 3: makes him romantic, and also like if he's not the protector,
27:43
Speaker 3: then he feels feminine, right emasculine, like immasculine.
27:48
Speaker 2: So I think that that has seeped into a.
27:51
Speaker 3: Lot of our pop culture, and like a lot of
27:53
Speaker 3: us have internalized those things, like I have found myself
27:56
Speaker 3: writing things like that, even though I don't believe in
27:59
Speaker 3: though because I think it should be that way, but
28:02
Speaker 3: it is something we just see everywhere, right.
28:05
Speaker 1: And yeah, I mean it had the good. It was
28:07
Speaker 1: two extremes, which was interesting and I could get that
28:10
Speaker 1: as an actual thing. So for women who feel like
28:12
Speaker 1: they're being told they're overbearing, they're they're too loud, they're
28:16
Speaker 1: all too aggressive, you try to hide and shrink yourself
28:18
Speaker 1: because you think that's the way it is, and that's
28:20
Speaker 1: what she has done. And then she finally came to
28:22
Speaker 1: the point of being like, Nope, that's not who I am.
28:24
Speaker 1: This is who I am. Of course, we have the
28:27
Speaker 1: love symmetries. There are so many things like happening here,
28:31
Speaker 1: like the brother and the ex girlfriend and then they
28:34
Speaker 1: break up, which was smart, like y'all can't have this relationship,
28:37
Speaker 1: but it did make me sad my brother was finally happy,
28:40
Speaker 1: but whatever, and then we have the wedding and then
28:44
Speaker 1: the fact that still loves her and shows up for
28:47
Speaker 1: the wedding and they still hate each other. That's kind
28:49
Speaker 1: of funny in itself. And we kind of had a
28:52
Speaker 1: love triangle with the parents too.
28:54
Speaker 2: Oh he did.
28:56
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was good, yes, because she wrote a really
29:04
Speaker 5: cheesy book and he loved it, and the mother was
29:07
Speaker 5: very jealous.
29:08
Speaker 1: But she also really insulted him about like, look what
29:11
Speaker 1: happened to me when I lost mind? I had to
29:13
Speaker 1: marry him? Do you want this? And I'm like, oh God,
29:16
Speaker 1: And he loves loves loves his daughter. That's the whole thing. Yes,
29:21
Speaker 1: And then the conversation of superheroes, which is what she
29:23
Speaker 1: wanted to be but couldn't figure out how to be.
29:26
Speaker 1: And then finally by the end she accepted herself and
29:28
Speaker 1: became that superhero, which Miniuk the Boss had always seen
29:34
Speaker 1: her that way because of the opening credit scene which
29:36
Speaker 1: I did not talk about, in which he is going
29:39
Speaker 1: to see his mother's grave. The bus blows a tire,
29:44
Speaker 1: goes out of all kinds of ways, and then comes
29:47
Speaker 1: to a point where it looks like it's gonna go
29:48
Speaker 1: over the edge after hitting a mother and daughter, and
29:50
Speaker 1: she's able to stop it. He doesn't ever get to
29:53
Speaker 1: see her face, but he knows he saw her and
29:55
Speaker 1: then painted a portrait of her and then it turned
29:58
Speaker 1: out to be her.
29:59
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, yeah, and it is quite a wild
30:03
Speaker 3: opening scene, I must say, because that bus is just
30:06
Speaker 3: swerve it all over.
30:07
Speaker 1: Everybody everywhere, all the kids, all the pain pud balls,
30:10
Speaker 1: the pain so many paint pud balls. Yeah. And then
30:28
Speaker 1: of course again we've already been talking about the problematic
30:31
Speaker 1: things that's happening in this because I can't ignore when
30:34
Speaker 1: it comes to Korean culture how problematic things can be.
30:38
Speaker 1: They're trying to fix it, they're trying to address it,
30:40
Speaker 1: but it's really hard to bypass, uh, the fat phobic
30:43
Speaker 1: thing the whole like she has to be skinny and
30:45
Speaker 1: then no one wants you if you're not skinny and
30:48
Speaker 1: tiny and all these things that was That's a running
30:51
Speaker 1: thing throughout all of Korean culture. I think there's a
30:53
Speaker 1: couple of shows that try to address that and it
30:57
Speaker 1: kind of like embrace it, but they do it in
31:00
Speaker 1: a really bad way. I just saw a preview of one,
31:03
Speaker 1: and it looks like she is an average woman, so
31:05
Speaker 1: she's not super super skinny, but I've obviously thought of
31:08
Speaker 1: as chunky or fat, and the way he's wooing her,
31:13
Speaker 1: is feeding her more food, and I'm like, that's just
31:16
Speaker 1: as bad, right, trying to make our diet like this
31:19
Speaker 1: is this is weird, but like that seems to be
31:22
Speaker 1: a whole obviously conversation. It was very slight, but the
31:25
Speaker 1: mother always talking to other women about how fat they
31:27
Speaker 1: are or no one wants you really problematic. There's a
31:32
Speaker 1: lot I think they are trying not to be homophobic,
31:37
Speaker 1: but a lot of the ways that they approach this,
31:41
Speaker 1: like in the Queer central of things, in this show,
31:46
Speaker 1: it came off as homophobic. Am I am I reading
31:49
Speaker 1: into that?
31:50
Speaker 2: I No, No, I don't think so.
31:52
Speaker 3: But I will say it was funny for me because
31:56
Speaker 3: I've had to kind of come to terms with this
31:58
Speaker 3: and you know, like as I've gone through my my
32:03
Speaker 3: finding out how identify and stuff and the like really
32:06
Speaker 3: being like, Okay, I'm queer. Is that I didn't get
32:10
Speaker 3: like the whole joke joke. I don't think it was
32:13
Speaker 3: a joke, but I was kind of like, wait, are
32:14
Speaker 3: they serious or not? Because they kept saying the rich
32:17
Speaker 3: guy was gay, like he's into men, yeah, And I
32:22
Speaker 3: was like, but is he? And then I was like,
32:26
Speaker 3: is this like a because there's a sea where it
32:30
Speaker 3: implies that like he even googed do almost kid.
32:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I.
32:35
Speaker 1: Was like, I did kiss I don't know if they
32:37
Speaker 1: almost she stopped them from kissing as they were super drunk.
32:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then I was like, whoa is this this?
32:44
Speaker 3: And then it wasn't that, which was fine, but I
32:45
Speaker 3: was kind of like, wait, what's going on? And then
32:47
Speaker 3: it definitely had at the end the a very abusive
32:51
Speaker 3: like development leader at the place that was like leaning hard.
32:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a moment in which like the friend
33:00
Speaker 1: secretary he like is trying to tell everyone I'm not gay,
33:03
Speaker 1: I'm not gay, and then the development dude is like,
33:08
Speaker 1: why are you so ashamed? Calm down, calm down, don't
33:12
Speaker 1: react this way. So it's like kind of clean it out,
33:15
Speaker 1: but in an awful manner with the stereotypical way of
33:19
Speaker 1: doing things again. Yeah, and I will say, like the
33:22
Speaker 1: way when the character, the main character, I mean, when
33:25
Speaker 1: he talks about being accused of being gay, he never
33:27
Speaker 1: gets offended. He's never had a moment where he's upset
33:30
Speaker 1: by that, Like it's not something that he thinks is
33:32
Speaker 1: a big deal.
33:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's kind of like maybe like it's essentially like
33:38
Speaker 6: I don't care, and like there's a scene where, because uh,
33:45
Speaker 6: the mom is.
33:46
Speaker 3: Really like.
33:48
Speaker 2: Wanting her daughter to get with this CEO.
33:52
Speaker 1: Essentially trying to give her to the city.
33:54
Speaker 3: Yes, like consummation, blanket and everything, And there's a scene
34:01
Speaker 3: where they have a conversation.
34:04
Speaker 2: About like, no, he's gay, and the mom is kind
34:07
Speaker 2: of like.
34:09
Speaker 1: Everyone has flaws. She says, every man has flaws looking
34:12
Speaker 1: at that.
34:13
Speaker 3: But she doesn't like, which is not the best response.
34:16
Speaker 3: Please understand. I know that's not the best response. But
34:18
Speaker 3: it wasn't like super like well didn't kill him. It
34:23
Speaker 3: was at least kind of like.
34:24
Speaker 1: Well like everybody, but it was also funny, and I
34:28
Speaker 1: don't this could be the translation. So this is the part,
34:30
Speaker 1: Like this is I really do hope that I can
34:33
Speaker 1: lean into being able to understand Korean, truly understand Korean,
34:38
Speaker 1: which I got a sad I read a sad, sad
34:41
Speaker 1: research paper saying that people adopted people truly forget so
34:47
Speaker 1: it's just like they never knew it. And I'm like, oh,
34:50
Speaker 1: I spoken till I was eight. I'm very sad about this.
34:54
Speaker 1: But anyway, back too, like, because the translation may be
34:58
Speaker 1: part of this problem. I will say for the specific
35:02
Speaker 1: show and Vicki Rakaton. I don't know if they have
35:05
Speaker 1: individual translators like Netflix I think has theirs and all this.
35:09
Speaker 1: They do a lot better than most by at least
35:11
Speaker 1: explaining the jokes when you don't understand, like they will
35:15
Speaker 1: tell you what it is, and I've never seen that
35:17
Speaker 1: on Netflix. Netflix will just change it all together and
35:19
Speaker 1: make it a whole different thing, like I know the
35:22
Speaker 1: vast difference. I'm like, that is definitely not what they said,
35:24
Speaker 1: Like I know that much. But yeah, so but with
35:28
Speaker 1: that said, I know at one point they are talking
35:31
Speaker 1: about the brother tells Bonsoun that he's not gay from
35:37
Speaker 1: a clinical point of view, he's not gay, and I'm like.
35:39
Speaker 2: Wait, what mm hmm.
35:41
Speaker 1: That doesn't right, that doesn't make sense. Like it's kind
35:44
Speaker 1: of one of those moments I'm like, I don't I'm
35:48
Speaker 1: not sure what they're talking, how they're how they're leading
35:50
Speaker 1: into this other than you know, just my opinion. But
35:54
Speaker 1: I don't think this. I don't know. There's so many
35:56
Speaker 1: things that are like, Okay, it's not as bad as
36:00
Speaker 1: I've seen, but it's not great. You're right, right, you know,
36:04
Speaker 1: and it's still a problem. There's still a long way
36:06
Speaker 1: to go. And then another one that I finally like, huge,
36:09
Speaker 1: huge issues the abuse turned comedy. Now, of course we
36:13
Speaker 1: find out because she's just beating on the dad and
36:16
Speaker 1: at one point it looks like she has beat him,
36:18
Speaker 1: like he has black eyes, all of these things, and
36:22
Speaker 1: it turned out that he literally did fall, and then
36:25
Speaker 1: she was like, I would never do that. How could
36:26
Speaker 1: you think of me that way?
36:27
Speaker 2: And then everybody's like.
36:28
Speaker 1: Because you constantly brate him, and it's not surprising, but
36:32
Speaker 1: the fact that people had let it go the entire
36:35
Speaker 1: time until the very end when he left and finally
36:38
Speaker 1: had enough, and I'm like, why is this a comic relief?
36:42
Speaker 1: This is not comedy. I am so confused, even to
36:45
Speaker 1: the point that she would constantly slap long sooons, constantly
36:49
Speaker 1: hit her, and when she's lost her power, she's like,
36:51
Speaker 1: this really hurts. And even when it didn't, it hurt me,
36:54
Speaker 1: like having to explain. I'm glad that she did finally
36:56
Speaker 1: address it. But that's a common theme around all all
37:00
Speaker 1: the comedies, and I'm very like, wow, this seems to
37:04
Speaker 1: be an okay thing that they constantly beat their kids.
37:07
Speaker 1: They constantly beat their children. Again, that one we're talking
37:10
Speaker 1: about the airs, which was older, like twenty fourteen. I
37:13
Speaker 1: think they are like they're constantly slapping their kids, making
37:18
Speaker 1: them bleed and just leaving it as is, and no
37:21
Speaker 1: one seems to blink an eye that I'm like, is
37:26
Speaker 1: this culturally a thing that I know different cultures. We
37:29
Speaker 1: talked about this even in our recent episode on motherhood
37:35
Speaker 1: and children and types of parenting culturally, but it's shocking
37:41
Speaker 1: that it is still supervised like this at this day
37:44
Speaker 1: and age, because again, this was twenty seventeen. The recent
37:47
Speaker 1: ones in twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three still
37:49
Speaker 1: have that same thing too.
37:51
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, And I think that's you know that has
37:56
Speaker 3: played for laughs, is pretty concerned, and there were certainly
38:01
Speaker 3: a lot of things where I'm like, again, not unique
38:04
Speaker 3: to this at all, but like the kind of like
38:06
Speaker 3: playing for laughs of of that, and abuses of power
38:12
Speaker 3: like power dynamics throughout.
38:16
Speaker 1: Again, like he's really leaning into like, if you like me,
38:20
Speaker 1: then I'll give you this job.
38:21
Speaker 3: It feels like yes, And and I don't think we
38:24
Speaker 3: ever specified, but he had her essentially move into his apartment.
38:29
Speaker 3: She was sleeping in his place with the lights always on,
38:33
Speaker 3: which I.
38:33
Speaker 1: Found interesting that's a constant thing. Again. They always the
38:37
Speaker 1: lights on.
38:38
Speaker 2: Well all of them.
38:41
Speaker 1: It drives me crazy. It's the same thing as the
38:42
Speaker 1: window cars are always driving with their lights on. Has
38:46
Speaker 1: everything to do with filming, but it always does.
38:48
Speaker 2: I mean that's what I assumed.
38:49
Speaker 3: But it was just kind of for me, who's like
38:51
Speaker 3: I literally are like put blankets over like my internet.
38:55
Speaker 1: Router, the lights off so I can see the stars.
39:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a couple of but a lot of them there.
39:06
Speaker 3: But yeah, just kind of that like played for laughs,
39:09
Speaker 3: of like, oh, he's kind of making her do all
39:12
Speaker 3: this stuff, and she was great, like she was a
39:15
Speaker 3: great actor, and it was funny to see her get
39:16
Speaker 3: so roued up and yell at him.
39:18
Speaker 2: But essentially it's still like.
39:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, constantly her cook and constantly even when he eats,
39:24
Speaker 1: making sure she carries all of this stuff. There's a
39:27
Speaker 1: lot to it, of course, like again this is for
39:30
Speaker 1: this is a show, this is for laughs, all these things,
39:33
Speaker 1: but yeah, you kind of look at like, is this
39:36
Speaker 1: is this for real? Though? Someone telling me? Because I
39:37
Speaker 1: don't feel like this is for real for real? Is
39:40
Speaker 1: it common for supervisors to physically hit hit their employees?
39:43
Speaker 1: Because I don't feel like that should be a thing.
39:46
Speaker 2: I don't think so either. I don't think so either.
39:49
Speaker 1: But yes, overall this is this was one of the
39:52
Speaker 1: ones that I really do like. Again, I talked about
39:55
Speaker 1: how sometimes when you find allegations against the one actor,
39:58
Speaker 1: it ruins it. Kore culture. Don't get me wrong, the
40:01
Speaker 1: sexual harassments of it's not cool, No, we never bullying
40:04
Speaker 1: is bad enough, all these things, but the Korean culture
40:07
Speaker 1: are again, they are a lot stricter about who is what.
40:11
Speaker 1: And he got dropped by his agency pretty quickly, which
40:14
Speaker 1: is kind of like a death stamp for many actors.
40:17
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty unheard of here.
40:24
Speaker 1: And again, so the couple is coming back for the
40:27
Speaker 1: new series, apparently, the one who is like the cousin
40:31
Speaker 1: of long Lust, cousin of Bungsoon gets her strength and
40:35
Speaker 1: is trying to find her family. That's that plot. And
40:38
Speaker 1: then we see a cameo of them.
40:40
Speaker 3: Is that because I saw that there was going to
40:42
Speaker 3: be one on the CW Is that what they're talking about?
40:45
Speaker 1: Oh no, they are doing a remake with Rohnda Rowse. Yeah,
40:52
Speaker 1: that's a remake of it, okay, and it sounds like
40:55
Speaker 1: it's a lot more serious than I just don't know
40:57
Speaker 1: if they could pull off with the Korean hmmm show
41:01
Speaker 1: I was able to pull off, I don't think and
41:03
Speaker 1: they are going to be able to.
41:05
Speaker 3: It was certainly like a like I said, it was
41:09
Speaker 3: a lot of like, oh, here's kind of our like
41:12
Speaker 3: comedy part, here's our serial killer part, here's our action part,
41:16
Speaker 3: which you can't pull off, and is you know, like
41:19
Speaker 3: it's not like other things don't do that. But I
41:21
Speaker 3: think it was sort of more shocking than a lot
41:25
Speaker 3: of shows that uh, mainstream America.
41:29
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can translate that into so
41:31
Speaker 1: there's so many shows of course, I got both ways
41:34
Speaker 1: where American shows will go into a Korean cultural interpretation
41:38
Speaker 1: and then vice versa. I'm surprised that it would be
41:41
Speaker 1: Randa Ralsey. I don't think she's very relevant at this point.
41:43
Speaker 1: I don't know if this was outdated. I don't know
41:45
Speaker 1: if they're going to actually do it. Well interesting, I
41:49
Speaker 1: guess we'll see. I guess we'll see.
41:56
Speaker 2: Yes, well, I had a great time.
41:59
