KDMEO Episode 63 - Because This Is My First Life (?? ?? ????) 5-6 - a podcast by Judy, Linda and Teresa
from 2017-12-06T05:00
Judy and Linda are excited (?!) by the fake wedding in episodes 5-6 of "Because This Is My First Life" (?? ?? ????), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi.
As much as we enjoyed watching the events of these two episodes, we also cried quite a bit, mainly because of Jiho's mom (Kim SunYoung). And if we sound a bit downtrodden by Jiho (Jung SoMin) and her friends' unfortunate circumstances reflecting our own not-quite-perfect lives, well, we're allowed to feel sad sometimes, alright? Except for Sehee (Lee MinKi). Lucky emotionless bastard.
Judy had to google "snake stew" so that our listeners wouldn't have to, and it was a terrible mistake. Just know that it's supposedly good for stamina (especially for men, nudge nudge). It is illegal to hunt wild snakes for consumption, but legal for traditional medicine practitioners to use snakes as an ingredient.
