KDMEO Episode 10 - The Legend of the Blue Sea 3-4

K-Drama My Eyes Out - A podcast by Judy, Linda and Teresa

Categories:

This week, Linda and Judy discuss episodes 3-4 of the SBS drama, "Legend of the Blue Sea" (푸른 바다의 전설), starring Lee Minho and Jun Jihyun. We are having a rather difficult time with this drama. The weird pacing means the show has too much time to kill, which it attempts and fails to fill up with miserable side characters that we care nothing about. Jun Jihyun, as always, is a delight. Sadly, there isn't enough fun interaction between her character and Lee Minho's, because they have to spend episode 3 trying to reunite after the random memory erasing at the end of episode 2! Who thought that was a good idea?  Guys! Guys? Are we crazy?    Some Korean terms: 깡패: [ggang-peh] gangster. 미역국: [mi-yeok-guk] seaweed (mi-yeok) soup (guk). Traditionally served as a birthday meal. 간장게장: [gan-jang-geh-jang] crabs cut into pieces (still in their shells) and cooked in soy sauce.   We mentioned Cha Taehyeon's cameo in episode 4. He and Jun Jihyun starred in a super popular 2001 rom-com, called "My Sassy Girl" (엽기적인 그녀). You can click here to read the Wikipedia page. We were really tempted to abandon this drama, as per our 4-episode rule, but decided to give it one more week. Linda keeps falling asleep, for cripes' sake. If anyone out there can think of anything that would save this series for us, we would love to hear from you on Facebook or Twitter (@kdramamyeyesout) or by e-mail.
