KDMEO Episode 45 - Fight My Way (쌈 마이웨이) 13-14 - a podcast by Judy, Linda and Teresa

Judy and Linda are pretty disappointed with episodes 13 and 14 of "Fight My Way" (쌈 마이웨이), starring Park SeoJoon, Kim JiWon, Ahn JaeHong and Song HaYoon.

The penultimate week of most Korean dramas seem to suffer from the production staff scrambling to kill time with pointless garbage. Yes, we reviewed the penultimate episodes of all the dramas we've talked about in this podcast to confirm this. "Fight My Way" decided to spend two whole episodes doing nothing but set up red herrings that anyone could see from a mile away. Judy and Linda find it weird that Dongman (Park SeoJoon) would compliment Aera (Kim JiWon) by telling her that she smells like seaweed soup. Linda wonders what it actually means to be a "또라이" (translated in Viki as "psycho").

32:00 – We love soondae and want Korean restaurants that have an efficient delivery system like in Korea.

50:42 – Pun time!

Some Korean terms:

양아치: [yang-ah-chi] thug; apparently it's a shortened version of "동냥아치" [dong-nyang-ah-chi] referring to groups of orphans begging for food after the Korean war.

또라이: [ddo-ra-ee] slang term to refer to person who acts against social norms despite not having any mental/physical disabilities.

오두막: [oh-doo-mak] raised open gazebo near farming fields.

배: [beh] homonym for pear and stomach.

교포: [gyo-po] person of Korean ancestry who doesn't live in Korea.

막걸리: [mak-gul-li] Korean rice wine.

부적: [boo-juk] talisman used in Korean shamanism.
