KDMEO Episode 75 - Black Knight (흑기사) 13-14

03/14/18 • 113 min

Our masterclass in vengeance continues! Judy and Teresa seethe through episodes 13-14 of "Black Knight" (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee.

Teresa reveals a dark side and Judy loves it. Why is Haera (Shin SeKyung) so willing to believe that her dad’s a murderer? Judy finds Chairman Park's (Kim ByungOk) murder/frame plot way too prescient. Does he have powers too? We're giving up on Sharon (Seo JiHye) now.

Tally of superpowers so far: (bold = newly revealed this week)

Becky: immortality, everlasting youth, super strength, ability to wish good luck (on Sooho)

Sharon: immortality, everlasting youth, making clothes that bestow good luck (on Haera), telekinesis, Mystique-like ability to steal one's appearance, power to inspire greed

Haera: ability to curse using the power of the moon

Sooho: luck, magical protection from a "loving heart", power of winning “rock, paper, scissors”

KDMEO Episode 74 - Black Knight (흑기사) 11-12

Judy and Teresa are shaking their heads through episodes 11-12 of "Black Knight" (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee.

Judy is incredibly disappointed with Sharon (Seo JiHye) for being completely inept at vengeance, something at which all Koreans should excel. The only thing Sharon manages to steal away from Haera is a $2 face mask. Yeah, we said it. Teresa has a visceral reaction to Gon (Park SungHoon) getting water thrown in his face. Meanwhile, Haera (Shin SeKyung) and Sooho (Kim RaeWon) are definitely getting more lovey-dovey to the point of cheesiness.

Digressions:

14:21 - Concept of couple rings

16:51 - Korean card game, hwatoo (actually hanafuda, of Japanese origin)

1:11:27 - Teresa wasn't allowed to watch "The Simpsons"

Some Korean terms:

은장도: [eun-jang-do] small traditional Korean dagger, used for self-protection.

Next Episode

KDMEO Episode 76 - Black Knight (흑기사) 15-16

Best out-of-context quote of this week: "We're better at murder than they are!" Judy and Teresa scoff at episodes 15-16 of "Black Knight” (흑기사), a KBS drama starring Shin SeKyung, Kim RaeWon, Seo JiHye and Jang MiHee.

Why are Sooho (Kim RaeWon) and Haera (Shin SeKyung) so determined to not acknowledge Sharon's (Seo JiHye) dangerous nature? Do you find it weird that both Sooho and Haera's moms died from "shock" like the show is implying that women just lose the will to live when their partners die? And yet, "marriage is a tomb" is tossed out like it's a funny line.

Digressions:

3:22 - Teresa's CSI methodology

5:55 - KDMEO is not sponsored by Dyson!

41:55 - Word roots in some Asian languages

1:21:06 - Haircut for David

1:30:35 - We analyze Sooho's stab wound

Tally of superpowers so far: (bold = newly revealed this week)

Becky: immortality, everlasting youth, super strength, ability to wish good luck (on Sooho)

Sharon: immortality, everlasting youth, making clothes that bestow good luck (on Haera), telekinesis, Mystique-like ability to steal one's appearance, power to inspire greed
