There are two new dramas coming out next week. Hong Kil Dong and The Robbers. Both look interesting but I'm looking forward to Robbers more.

For a cool effect, try taking the Final Fantasy songs that kobe posted and try playing the Japanese and the Korean at the same time. I was able to sync them perfectly and it sounds nice. The contrast is not very big, except that when I was playing, the sync started going out eventually and by the en...

If some language sounds "threatening" (maybe because there are lots of "plosives" in it), then its quality is amplified when a guy speaks it. When a girl speaks it, those plosives are still dominant in the language per se, the language still sounds "angry," but nothing ...

Ssang

I'm not offended, I just disagree. :) The drama vs regular distinction simply doesn't ring true for me in my lifetime of experiences. It's artificial, although I can easily imagine, say, a poor ahjumma selling kimbop on the streets speaking with some loud obnoxious voice or something. But it's simpl...

Ssang

kobe, here are a few (personal) counterexamples: German, Mongolian, Latin. They seem like masculine languages to me and cause dissonance when a girl speaks it. I totally disagree with the distinction between "drama Korean" and "regular Korean" -- it's a false distinction and a bi...

I think primarily among the pre-teen set (just like Britney's original fanbase.) No, I'm pretty sure that Sohee is universally popular. It's not just a preteen or male thing.

kobe, I believe if you right-click save and download you'll be able to see it. Anyway, about Sohee, it's a complicated subject (not to mention irrelevant here).

I just finished watching episode 17.

Great episode. That's all I can say about it. I like Yi San's right-hand man a lot.

Ssang

It's relative, Nea. Sohee doesn't look 12 to me. (You know, being Asian and all.) But as far as "liking" her goes, you'll have to be more particular. If someone likes her in a pedo way then it follows that liking her would be pretty pedo. You see the tautology there? But it's not neccesary...

I don't think it's neccesary to view it in such a pervy context. Sohee is 15, but the fans of WG are teenagers too. The people who are older, I imagine, like "Tell Me" pretty much for the same reasons that the 15 yos might, and they're dancing along for the same reasons. You are correct to...

It depends on who's speaking it and where. I think that even within a dialect, it can vary a lot, again depending on who's speaking.
