KDMEO Episode 96 – What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim (김비서가 왜 그럴까) 9-10

08/08/18 • 75 min

Did you guys love that closet kiss or what? Judy and Teresa are intrigued by episodes 9-10 of “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim” (김비서가 왜 그럴까), a TVN drama starring Park MinYoung and Park SeoJoon.

What is wrong with the family members of our lead characters? Youngjoon's (Park SeoJoon) shady family urgently needs a therapist, while Miso's (Park MinYoung) sisters need to check their attitudes. This week is saved by the absolutely great closet kiss (you know the one) and Secretary Yang (Kang HongSeok) making progress with Lipstick Lady (Hwang BoRa).

Judy refuses to watch the new kdrama, “Time”, if only for the fact that Kim JungHyun continues to be sourfaced in it. Teresa tried the first two episodes of “Come and Hug Me” and was intrigued by it. Judy is still watching and loving “Lawless Lawyer”.

Digressions:

0:48 - Domino's in Korea

29:28 - Teresa's childhood nickname

38:08 - Judy explains the finer points of "Oppa"

47:25 - Why do Koreans love crabs in soy sauce so much?

55:23 - Traditional Korean medicine method of pricking one's finger for indigestion. This method of treating indigestion is not scientifically verified and therefore not recommended.

56:56 - Judy feels embarrassed for One Suit Man (aka Chansung from the boy group, 2PM). See the music video for "Heartbeat", which is now 8 years old!!! and Teresa swoons over Secretary Yang's (Kang HongSeok) singing. Please click here to watch a clip of Kang HongSeok on "Immortal Song".

KDMEO Episode 95 – What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim (김비서가 왜 그럴까) 7-8

Yaaass, take charge, Miso! Judy and Teresa start off hangry but eventually applaud episodes 7-8 of “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim” (김비서가 왜 그럴까), a TVN drama starring Park MinYoung and Park SeoJoon.

Why is Morpheus (Lee TaeHwan), a famous author, such a petulant antagonist instead of a being a shady wit? Where are his versions of Shakespearean burns? Judy theorizes that absolutely no one in this universe knows how to flirt, not just Youngjoon (Park SeoJoon) and Miso (Park MinYoung). Prepare yourselves for Teresa's wacky theory about the kidnapping incident.

KDMEO Episode 97 – What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim (김비서가 왜 그럴까) 11-12

Will somebody please get these characters a psychiatrist for heaven's sake? Judy and Teresa are puzzled by episodes 11-12 of “What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim” (김비서가 왜 그럴까), a TVN drama starring Park MinYoung and Park SeoJoon.

Secretary Yang (Kang HongSeok) and Lipstick Lady (Hwang BoRa) are our favourite relationship this week. Somehow we don't think this was supposed to happen, but how can we help it when Youngjoon (Park SeoJoon) and Miso (Park MinYoung) are regressing all of a sudden? We also worry about the potential of President Park (Kang KiYoung) and Secretary Seol (Ye Won) becoming another couple, because what else can this drama possibly throw at us? They already eliminated Morpheus (Lee TaeHwan) as the main antagonist!

Digressions:

34:10 - Kdramas keep suggesting that arm pillows are romantic for some reason. We're here to tell you that arm pillows are the worst.

43:52 - Oh wait, are lullabies even worse?

Some Korean terms:

성기: [sung-gi] genitals.

아저씨: [ah-juh-ssi] a way of addressing an older man who is not a relative.
