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.
