KDMEO Episode 190 - Extraordinary Attorney Woo (이상한 변호사 우영우)

PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER!!! Judy and Linda were fine with "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" (이상한 우영우), an ENA drama starring Park EunBin and Kang TaeOh. The drama starts off charming and showcases great acting from the cast, but definitely suffers in the latter half from some nonsensical decisions from the writer.  To celebrate their recent 15th anniversary, we'll be recording a Girls' Generation-themed episode next. So check out the first episodes of "If You Wish Upon Me" (당신이 소원을 말하면) starring SooYoung, "Jinxed At First" (징크스의 연인) starring SeoHyun and "Good Job" (굿잡) with YuRi. Unfortunately we can't figure out where to find YoonA's "Big Mouth" (빅마우스). Also an episode of "Young Actors' Retreat" (청춘MT) for the heck of it.   Digressions:   3:32 - Listener E-mails! 20:29 - "Chorus" was one of the first games Judy streamed on her Twitch channel (twitch.tv/ladyjutea) and had a great time in spite of it taking itself way too seriously. 24:48 - Linda watched the film version of "Dear Evan Hansen" on the plane to Korea and loved it.  26:15 - Judy watched "Assassination" (암살), a period piece set during the Japanese occupation of Korea. It stars Jun JiHyun, Jo JinWoong, Lee JungJae, and apparently every single respected Korean actor. 28:01 - Linda watched the 2018 film, "Swing Kids", starring Do KyungSoo. 29:27 - "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" is the latest Marvel series on Disney+. Judy, as with most things, wishes it was edited tighter. 30:45 - Linda watched all of "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" (갯마을 차차차) and it was cute. That's all there is to say about that. 32:45 - Judy watched "Thor: Love and Thunder" and Christian Bale was the best thing in it. Gasp! 34:39 - Linda's nostalgic love for the original movie was not enough to save the new series, "A League of Their Own". 37:40 - Despite the many bugs and obtuse puzzles, "Sable" is a beautiful indie game about finding your place in the world. 40:01 - "Terminal List" is a graphically violent series out a super soldier going on a revenge mission and why the heck did Linda watch all of it? 44:21 - "Boyfriend Dungeon" was a fun indie combination of a dungeon crawl and dating sim. Of course, Judy dated a kpop singer who can turn into a lightsaber! 47:51 - Linda fell asleep constantly during "Lightyear", which is pretty damning. 49:10 - Judy is currently streaming "Trek to Yomi", in which you play a samurai on a quest to save his village and his love. Check it out on her Twitch channel on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays! 52:58 - Linda celebrated Girls' Generation's 15th anniversary by watching the JTBC show, "소시탐탐" (SoShiTamTam). Check it out if you're nostalgic for Girls' Generation and their fun chemistry! 57:54 - We finally talk about "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" (이상한 변호사 우영우) for 25 minutes. ^_^;;     Some Korean terms:   이상한: [ee-sang-han] weird. 이상: [ee-sang] beyond. 매국노: [meh-gook-no] traitor that has sold out one's country. 할머니: [hal-meo-nee] grandma. 번데기 앞에서 주름잡네: [beon-deh-ghee-ap-eh-seo-joo-reum-jap-neh] literally "showing off wrinkles in front of a larvae"; similar to "teaching a fish to swim". 물광: [mool-gwang] dewy.     Audio credits: Pedro Macedo Camacho - "Chorus" - "Main Theme" Ben Platt - "Dear Evan Hansen" - "Waving Through a Window" Michael Giacchino - "Thor: Love and Thunder" - "Mama's Got a Brand New Hammer" Amie Doherty - "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" - "She-Hulk: Attorney at Law" 정수라 (Jung SuRa) - "Swing Kids" (스윙키즈) - "환희" (Joy) We are Dark Angels, Zachary Dawes, Nick Sena - "A League of Their Own" (2022) - "Chasing the Train" Japanese Breakfast - "Sable" - "Glider" Ruth Barrett - "The Terminal List" - "The Terminal List" Marskye - "Boyfriend Dungeon" - "Welcome Home" Michael Giacchino - "Lightyear" - "Mission Log" Cody Matthew Johnson, Yoko Honda - "Trek to Yomi" - "Sakura Fubuki" 소녀시대 (Girls' Generation) - "Forever 1"   Please send any questions, comments or suggestions on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (@kdramamyeyesout) or e-mail us (kdramamyeyesout(at)gmail.com).   You can become our patron at patreon.com/kdramamyeyesout for as little as $1 per month!   Please check out Judy's Twitch channel (twitch.tv/ladyjutea) or her Instagram (@ladyjutea) for non-Kdrama geeky content!
