KDMEO Episode 59 - Hospital Ship (병원선) 33-36 - a podcast by Judy, Linda and Teresa

Judy and Linda struggle through the dreaded penultimate week (i.e. episodes 33-36) of "Hospital Ship" (병원선), the MBC Korean drama starring Ha JiWon, Kang MinHyuk and Lee SeoWon.

The drama decides to introduce the threat of telemedicine this week, but the evil chairman's plot is so nonsensical that Judy and Linda find it more boring than sinister. This is aggravated by the fact that Eunjae (HaJiWon) and Hyun (Kang MinHyuk) act so nonchalantly for most of the time. Judy borrows one of her favourite phrases from "Scrubs": "bastard-coated bastards" or "B.C.B" for short. Linda, ever the teacher, reminds us all about the story mountain, which must surely be taught in Korea as well, especially if one is studying to be a writer?

Some Korean terms:

휘두르다: [hwee-doo-reu-da] to brandish; to flail.

시장: [see-jang] market.

정말: [jung-mal] truly; really.

어이없다: [uh-ee-up-da] to be flabbergasted.

저런: [juh-run] "Oh dear".
