In this video, we delve into some of the details and subtleties that you might have missed if you're unfamiliar with the Korean culture and language.
The original cut of this video had a lot more clips from the episode but I had to cut most of them out and replace them with still images to avoid being copyright struck.

    An impressive and clear analysis of details which I have tried to explain to family members who watch dramas with me but sometimes struggle to point out. After living in Korea long enough and learning the language deep enough, these things kind of slip by my radar. I love how you identified each small detail that implies so much!

    The hierarchies of speech in Korea should be banned. I think they are the root of evil. There shouldn't be a lower or higher person. We are all equal. Hierarchies of speech completely change the way they see the world around them. You can't question your superiors and you can't talk back. The Sweol tragedy is a clear example of why hierarchies are so wrong and dangerous.

    Mention of the city Busan and the Baduk board reminded me that 'B' in Korean is sometimes pronounced closer to 'Ph' , so it sounds like Phusan and Phaduk. Old US histories of the Korean war would often reference Pusan instead of Busan.

    There was an interview of the My Mister actors joking about when they first went from being an 'Oppa' to an 'Ajusshi'. Apparently the transition is as traumatic as when a woman in the American south is first called 'ma'am'.

    This is great! I love the details! I'm learning Korean and it's very frustrating to see the missing or right out the gate wrong translations! Also the nuances are often missed. Even though your video is 41 minutes long, it didn't seem so,I didn't even notice when it was over. I love the pace and the explanation.English is not my first language but it's easy to understand you. The fun editing is a plus too hehe👍🏽고맙습니다! Please keep making more!! 화이팅!

    Amazing!!! Thanks so much for making this video. My Mister is a master work of long form cinema but reading the subs I had a feeling that alot was getting lost in translation. Your break down of Korean hierarchy and culture is a great primer to help Westerners understand the drama. Please make more videos. 🙏

    This social hierarchy system means to me that Korea is basically still stuck in the Age of Aristocracy. I wouldn't like living that way. Having a "higher" standing absolutely does not make a person worthy of respect. For me, that is an ultimate truth. Respect those who are worthy, and in any first meeting one should assume the other person Is worthy of respect. When someone proves themself unworthy, all bets are off. I wonder if this is why so many Korean shows have class conflict as an underlying theme. It certainly is not presented as a positive in society. BTW, I don't like it in the US either. Most of our elected officials would Not Get any kind of respect. Common courtesy, like Mister or Mom/Dad is ok. Boss works for me. Ajoessi is Fine. But undue defference, in my thinking, is degrading.

    • @jollajolyo
      @jollajolyo 3 года назад

      meh, it's the way they live and operate. Given that, Koreans are known to be one of the most democratic nation on earth, successfully impeaching their corrupt president and uni student have enough voting power to remove or reinstate professors or staff. I mean, when two koreans meet, the first ever question they will ask is age and boom, hierarchy is established. Its not about respect. Its a language and behavioural concept that needs to be established before two people can even start a conversation

    • @garyguyton7373
      @garyguyton7373 3 года назад

      @@jollajolyo Perhaps you are Korean? Forgive me, I really don't Know anything about Korea and it's culture, except what I see here on RUclips, and what I've read regarding it's history. That was inspired by watching Mr. Sunshine, best thing on TV EVER. I very much admire what the 3 western style liberal democracies of E. Asia have done. Japan, the RoC, and the RoK have pulled themselves up from devastation after the war to become truly thriving societies. None of the three are even remotely the same as previously, except maybe culturally. So, my question becomes one where I'm not sure I understand how Koreans feel about it. Once hierarchy is established, does the "lesser" individual feel the need to adopt an attitude of service or obedience to the "greater"? That's my perception, and I know it could be way off the mark, a matter of ignorance, and not disrespect. One of the really bad things about the US is the fading away of common courtesy. Please, Thank You. Yes, sir or No, ma'am. The last two are very, very rarely heard anymore. At 71, I've come to despise the changes in culture that have happened here. Thanks for the reply, and the manner in which it was presented. Very thoughtful of you.

      @@garyguyton7373 I can't speak English, so I wrote it with Google Translate. Korea is completely different from China and Japan. China is a multi-ethnic country, and the ruling race has changed constantly. Each time, in the process of national ideology, cultural annihilation, and changing into a new culture, There has always been a cultural break. Recently, due to the cultural annihilation of the Communist Party, In the old Chinese culture, the people have no concept or standard. In Japan, war and murder are commonplace in a closed environment. over 1000 years Although a lot of Chinese and Korean culture went to Japan, Due to Japan's environment, class society, and closedness Many cultures have changed. As a result, the concept of good and evil is completely different from that of other countries. All religions also exist in degenerate form. There is a class called upper-class citizens and lower-class citizens. A higher-class citizen had the right to kill a lower-class citizen at any time. Also, the imbalance of young men is frequent due to war and murder. The standards for sexual violence and incest are tolerant. I will say one more time In Japan, all cultures passed down from other countries Incorporate the wrong concept of good and evil and transform it. Many Westerners mistake Japan for a democracy. Japan has a king The ruling class has all the power Politicians and even bureaucrats are hereditary. People have no power to change that. Japan is no different from a dictatorship that mimics democracy. Korea is a country that has not invaded other countries. love to sing and dance It is a nation with Hongik Ingan ideology. The Hongik Ingan ideology is our pride and foundation. Respect and submission are different, and Koreans hate submission. Show respect to someone older than me It is because of the belief that older people will have more wisdom in life. However, if you do not show the appropriate behavior Many will avoid him and hate him.

    This was great! I learned so much. I had to go back and rewatch the first episode so I could fully understand everything I missed the first time. As a Korean-speaking American, I thought I understood a lot, but you took it to a whole new level!! I wish I could watch all my K-dramas with you by my side to add insightful commentary! ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I hope you take the time to make more videos! I had a brief stint making RUclips videos when I was in Korea earlier this year, and I know the work that goes in to each one. I still have plans to make more, but it is so hard to find the time!! I've been working on the same one for months now.... Good luck to you!
