KDMEO Episode 218 - KPop Demon Hunters
Sunday, 13 July, 2025
WHO WANTS TO HIRE LINDA TO WRITE THE SEQUEL? Judy and Linda absolutely loved "KPop Demon Hunters" (케이팝 데몬 헌터스), starring Arden Cho, May Hong, Yoo JiYoung and Ahn HyoSeop. Digressions: 0:56 - Listener E-mails! 10:38 - Judy watched season 2 of "The Devil's Plan" (데블스 플랜), and was annoyed by most of it, but especially furious about the ending. 14:18 - Linda is making the most of her Apple TV+ subscription by watching "The Buccaneers", which is about a group of American debutantes marrying up in the British upper class. 17:41 - "The Blue Castle" a rom-com novel written by Lucy Maud Montgomery. It's a delightful story about an "old maid" finding her own power and rediscovering happiness in her life. You can find it free online at the Gutenberg Project. 21:01 - "Good Boy" (굿보이) is the latest Park BoGum drama, about athletes who have been recruited into the police force. It's surprisingly violent, so beware! 24:39 - Judy's current video game is a fantasy RPG called "Avowed". The writing is good, the gameplay is fine, but the main draw is Brandon Keener, who played Judy's boyfriend in the "Mass Effect" series. Some Korean terms: 조선: [jo-seon] Korean dynasty from 1392 to 1897. 도깨비: [do-kkae-bi] goblin. 김밥: [gim-bap] rice roll. 라면: [ra-myun] Korean instant noodles. 사자: [sa-ja] emissary. 저승사자: [jeo-seung-sa-ja] grim reaper; literally "hell's emissary". 갓: [gat] traditional horsehair hat from Joseon dynasty. 싸자: [ssa-ja] "Let's expel waste!"
