K-drama vs the street

사랑해요 lives in subtitles. The street uses 좋아해요 and 수고하세요.

드라마 Korean is a costume. 오빠 from a stranger on a date app is a costume you did not ask for.

좋아해요 is how adults actually start. 우리 사귈래? is direct. 사랑해요 on week two is a script, not a feeling.

You will still hear the drama lines. File them under television. Answer the room you are standing in.

Say these

  • 사랑해요

    saranghaeyo

    I love you (drama line)

  • 좋아해요

    joahaeyo

    I like you (more street)

  • 우리 사귈래?

    uri sagillae?

    want to go out?
