Time To Say Goodbye - ​​​​Fantasies of progress on K-TV with Jenny Wang Medina

Hello from Seoul (both real and fictional)!

This week, we welcome our friend and K-drama expert Jenny Wang Medina back to the pod to discuss the new Netflix hit “Extraordinary Attorney Woo.” 

The legal-procedural K-drama follows an autistic attorney, Woo Young-woo, who joins the ranks of a high-powered law firm and quickly proves herself invaluable. It’s wholesome, marginally sea-themed, and set in a fantasy playground of the professional sphere. 

We discuss the hot-button issues in Korea that form the backdrop of the show, like children’s rights, Buddhism versus Christianity, North Korean defectors, and eminent domain, just to name a few. We reflect on the rise of multiculturalism and minority rights in Korean society, TV, and film, which has led to the increased visibility of people with disabilities. Woo has also sparked a specific discourse around the portrayal of its autistic protagonist. Will the show also inspire a generation of women lawyers to move to Korea, expecting a feminist haven, or convince Korean parents to ease up on their kids’ time at hagwons? Only time will tell. 

If you plan to watch the series, we should warn you that Jay drops a couple of pretty extreme spoilers towards the end of the ep!

Later this week, we’ll be releasing a bonus recording of our book club with Lisa Hsiao Chen, author of “Activities of Daily Living,” for paid subscribers. We’ve also been using our TTSG Discord to plan subscriber meet-ups with Tammy in Seoul. If you’d like to join in, subscribe via Patreon or Substack.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Berlin Airlift

On June 24, 1948, the Soviet Union placed a blockade on Berlin's American, British, and French-occupied zones. 

No food, fuel, or supplies could enter the area known as West Berlin. 

Many people thought that either the allies would have to capitulate or engage in an armed conflict. However, the Americans and British eventually figured out another way around the blockade.

Learn more about the Berlin Airlift and how it shaped post-war Europe on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Energy crisis plan, imperial measures survey, gardens v national parks

One of Liz Truss's first acts as Prime Minister was to announce a giant plan to protect domestic energy users from huge rises in wholesale gas and electricity costs, meaning a typical household will pay about ?1000 less than otherwise would have been the case. We ask how much the Energy Price Guarantee will cost the government and also explain what a ?typical? household really is. A consultation has opened into whether we?d like more of our goods and services priced in imperial measures ? but some listeners are suggesting a survey on the issue is biased against metric. And we examine a claim made on the BBC?s Springwatch programme that all of the gardens in Newcastle are bigger than the combined size of our national parks.

NPR's Book of the Day - ‘She’s Nice Though’ tackles the burdens of being nice

Mia Mercado's essay collection She's Nice Though: Essays on Being Bad at Being Good examines the reasons why one would want to be viewed as "nice." She explores why one would want to be liked, what we try to accomplish by being nice, and how constraining being agreeable can be. NPR's Ailsa Chang discusses this with Mercado, as well as how this plays into gender and dating.
