Hi! I'm SO happy that you're enjoying my reactions to this incredible show. I had no idea that Korean names were said in such a different order than American names. Thank you so much for explaining some of the intricacies of Korean culture. That helped to clarify some things. I had no idea that the suicide rates in Korea were so high. That makes it even more special that this show deals with some tough issues in such an empathetic way. I agree with you that the lead actress is phenomenal. She plays the role perfectly. Thank you so much for writing such a thoughtful response! I'm so excited to continue watching this show with you!

2024-02-25 06:43:40 +0000 UTCI just enjoy watching these reactions with you so much. Not to sound weird or out of place. It's just nice to see someone else get emotionally invested in this show. It only goes up from here as well, so I really look forward to it. A couple of things I wanted to point out, not sure how far along you are in your reactions, but here's a little bit in to korean culture you may not know that might help you understand a bit more for the future: Naming conventions: Koreans address people by last name/first/middle. Not sure if this was picked up on or not, so I wanted to start with that. Addressing people by their name, like it was showing in the car ride, is meant for those who are intimate, or in very close and friendly relationships, also may be done with those who are of the same age. So when they were going over what to call eachother, and they mentioned their names, it was also another way to show they were a couple for their 'undercover mission'. The only reason they went with sweetie instead of their names was because the hotel may figure out they worked for the law firm that was suing them. Koreans also practice the rule of hierarchy, whether it's in the workplace or in relationships. In general if you're older, you get respect. However, in the workplace, even if you're a decade younger, if you've been there longer than someone else, you get respect. You'll hear the word 'sunbae' (Romanized 'sun bay'), when spoken between colleagues or classmates. This is used to acknowledge someone's seniority in the workplace or at school. Hyung: (romanized 'h-young')a term used by younger brothers or younger males to call older brothers or older male close friends. Oppa: (romanized 'oh pah') a very broad term that comes with context, used by younger women/girls to call older brothers, older close male friends, or more commonly used when calling a boyfriend. (our second female lead used this in the car ride when asked if she should call jun ho 'jun ho oppa'). Noona: (romanized 'new nah') a term used by younger men/boys when calling older sisters or older close female friends. Not usually used in the context of calling a girlfriend, but it can be. Korea is still quite a conservative country. They are slowly recognizing lgbtq relationships, and they are still growing in their mental health recognition and treatment. For many traditional or wealthy families, their first response to both of these points is to hide it, deny it, or reject it outright. There is a lot of shame when it comes to the older generation and how they perceive these kinds of 'changes' or realizations, so much so that they usually refuse to acknowledge or accept the prejudice or problem simply because they don't agree with it. Korea currently has one of the highest suicide rates in the world, and this is one of the reasons. ANYWHO hope this wasn't too overwhelming. some of these things have come up and some will come up and i wanted to help with understanding why things happen or are treated the way they are in the show. this show was quite a hit when it released because of how they approached a lot of these topics, particularly the topic of asd. the actress did an amazing job at her portrayal, and the director and writer made sure to not overexaggerate aspects of asd or how she interacts with people in society. ok, essay finished. sorry! lol.
