CW: Just a heads up that we have some mild swearing in this episode and some bleeped out not-mild swearing. Seems appropriate for this drama with a heroine who is fond of not-mild swearing.
Highlights:
1:23 Listener responses to our last episode—as in we got some! Thank you!
10:10 Start of our Sam Soon discussion
14:20 This drama has been compared with Bridget Jones Diary. Accurate or not? Melanie weighs in.
16:29 Forgot to mention that Sam Shik is the nickname Sam Soon gives to Jin Heon (it means Third Jerk 😆)
19:40 We discuss how Sam Soon compares with the heroines of Mr. Queen and It's Okay Not to be Okay. In a modern drama, it seems that you have to have a character who is a man in a woman's body or who has a personality disorder in order for her to swear and be frank about sex.
24:45 We discuss the literary references in this drama, especially Marcel Proust's In Search of Lost Time/Remembrance of Things Past and how it plays on the drama's themes of memory and loss.
38:13 Listen to us have a MAJOR FANGIRL FREAKOUT over the first kiss scene. Is this the best first kiss in a drama ever? Spoiler: YES YES YES
52:55 Is Jin Heon an irredeemable toxic @$$hole? Is Sam Soon a doormat? We say pfffft not even.
1:15 Here are our recommendations for other dramas featuring the cast of My Lovely Sam Soon.
