“Dream High” has just been activated on Nf for my region. Kim Soo Hyun plays a country boy in it. He and his mother (in the drama) speak a very strong dialect and I think it could be that.I felt very reminded of Japanese.

Yes, that’s the Gyeongsang-do accent, and Busan is a city in that province.

They probably do. Before the pandemic I tried it at the cat cafe. Both the hot and the iced version. :smiley_cat:

I knew I was watching too many Kdramas when I started mixing in some random Korean words at work. My coworkers just stared at me, wondering what I said. :joy: One of them caught on and said, “Did you just speak Korean to us?” lol

Well, technically you ARE Korean so it should be okay, right? :sweat_smile:
It’s the worst when someone suddenly starts speaking to me in my native language(Kannada) and I don’t have time to get into my ‘Kannada mode’…When I try answering a question, there is an entire jumble of English, Hindi, Kannada AND Korean swimming around in my head. To top all that, Kannada is quite similar to Korean(some words sound alike and it uses particles a lot)…so i end up using a Kannada word with a Korean particle or vice versa :sob::flushed:

Yes, sure, I’d speak Konglish with my family and Korean-American friends, but I had never spewed out random Korean words to non-Koreans before. :wink:

:joy: aish and aigoo are a normal part of my speech now, my brother is already used to it. However, problems arise when I say “YAAAA” when I’m angry because any ordinary, normal English speaking person takes it as a “Yes” :joy::flushed:
