Though I am familiar with Corea, it is in name recognition only.  So I will go have a listen.  Thanks for all your work as always!

Now… I’m going to shift the focus a bit.

"dou nika nari sou" is an idiom. "driving someone up a wall" is an idiom. They are idioms that mean "turning someone crazy." And "learning all the idioms" is one of the things that can turn people crazy when learning a foreign language. It was a big pun – my dry sense of humor wrote that line.
“dou nika nari sou” is an idiom.
“driving someone up a wall” is an idiom.
They are idioms that mean “turning someone crazy.”

For several days I thought the third episode hadn't come out yet because I had only the Nodame category open. :P Please make sure in the future to categorize Nodame releases on the Nodame Cantabile category.
