K-drama My Eyes Out

It's Linda's final episode! Judy and Linda are tearing apart episodes 15-16 of "Because This Is My First Life" (이번 생은 처음이라), a TVN Korean drama starring Jung SoMin and Lee MinKi. Judy is supremely annoyed that Jiho (Jung SoMin) is blabbering about everything to everyone except for supposedly the most important person in her life: Sehee (Lee MinKi). Linda is incensed at Jiho for destroying Sehee's heart and then smugly lording it over him. Our counterthesis to the drama is that the institution of marriage may not be perfect, but what Jiho and Sehee are doing seems to be a holier-than-thou calculation of give and take rather than an actual relationship. Why did the writers break our hearts? Maybe we should be looking at our own star pockets to reminisce about when we loved this drama.   Some Korean terms: 조건: [joh-geon] requirement; prerequisite. 어떡하지? 보고싶다: [uh-ddeok-ha-ji? boh-goh-sip-da] "What do I do? I miss her." 무뚝뚝한 경상도 남자: [moo-ddook-ddook-han gyeong-sang-do nam-ja] terse man from Gyeonsang province. 찜질
