Long Tails Either Get Caught or Get Stepped on

Start watching Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo S1E6 wherever you stream it. The moment the episode starts, press Start below — then tap a word the instant you hear it. You won't see subtitle lines here — just the words. You're training your ear, not reading along.

You've got about six seconds either side, so aim rather than stab. The first word doesn't come up until around the 1-minute mark — quiet before that is the episode, not a bug.
