Where can I find the scripts for the other episodes of Boys Over Flowers? Reading the script is really interesting, and I would love to read the scripts for the rest of the episodes.

Thank you so much in advance!

Thank you vkkkim for the link to more BOF scripts! I just have problem saving a copy of it. Do I have to print to onenote or print as xps file? But that way I cannot copy and paste words that I want to look up in web dictionaries. Am I doing something wrong?

Gramps – thanks so much for the script for 3 dads and 1 mom. Just want to ask: is it missing episode 6? I am happy with whatever you have shared, but just in case it is actually available and just missed from the link, just want to let you know.

Oops. Yes somehow ep 6 of 3 Dads went missing from the zip. I suppose the previous 26 people who downloaded it were too shy to ask…

Anyway, Ep 06 (only) is now at

You won’t find many scripts around for dailies like ToW. With 100+ episodes aired already and a few dozen more to come, that’s a whole lot of text. SBS will let you visit all the scripts in their jail at

The usual stingy terms apply, i.e. 200 Won per one-hour peep per script , but I’ve not seen any signs of them surfacing in less restricted places.

Personally, I gave up on this drama after a few weeks when after a strong start it began looking, to me at least, as though all the characters had gone stark staring bonkers. I have to cope with enough raving lunatics in the Real World(TM) without devoting a piece of my daily Korean viewing to them.

Thanks so much for the scripts! I use to think that watching Korean subtitles on the video would be a good way to learn. I never thought there would be actual scripts available! I’m starting out with Kim Sam Soon. For anyone who wants a pdf version of Kim Sam Soon, I combined the hwp files and converted them to a single pdf file. Uploaded at scribd. Mediafire link also in the description: http://www.scribd.com/doc/14389803/My-Name-Is-Kim-Sam-Soon-Script

This conversion was mainly for my personal use since I use my mac laptop more than my pc. But I’ll take requests if anyone needs a hwp to pdf conversion of any other drama scripts. You can leave a comment at scribd, my blog, or email me at starseed153 (at) yahoo (dot) com.

my computer cant even read hangul even after downloed the software .. T-T
ANYWAY, can provide a website that can see the script online or in subtitle either in english or chinese
mail to me : jiawernlaw@hotmail.com

I can’t really give any useful concrete tips on learning Korean here. If you’ve ever come across the ramblings of my identical twin baduy in Soompi drama threads, you’ll know that he and I try to combat, via occasional close-up comments on bits of Kdrama and Kpop lyrics, the notion that learning a language is about learning words. It isn’t.

What you need to aim at is grasping how Korean puts words together into sentences. And by “grasping” I don’t mean being able to describe Korean sentence structures in the abstract or spout grammatical terms: I mean training your ears and your brain to hear the structure of Korean sentences as they come at you.

Too many would-be learners are so fixated on individual words that they never get round to listening for, let alone recognising, the patterns into which they are arranged. But if you can recognise those patterns, you are 75% of the way to cracking the language, even if you don’t (yet) know what all, or even most, of the words in a given sentence mean. The good news is that Kdramas are an amazingly good way of focussing on making sense of sentence patterns. And here, the more stereotyped the plot, the better. Where it’s pretty obvious what sort of thing the characters are saying, it’s all the easier to focus on how they are saying it.

Beyond that, all I can reasonably say here is that it really is possible to learn enough Korean to get an enormous amount of satisfaction out of Kdramas. And that once you’ve weaned yourself off subtitles, you never want to go back. I know, because I’ve done it. And I was nearly 60 when I started (though admittedly I’ve spent a good portion of my life studying and learning various languages, and that does help me focus on the structures rather than the vocabulary)

It sounds to me as though you didn’t actually get the Haansoft reader to install correctly. The many and various problems people can hit with that particular piece of software are another thing that can’t really be dealt with here. But as at least a partial answer to your plea, I have transcoded the BV scripts for you, and anyone else who can’t use the Hangul reader application. They are now in Unicode text in a zipped file at

Hello,

I’m just starting to get into K-drama (both for enjoyment and as a tool for learning korean).

Anyway, I’m try to access the scripts for 홍길동 at the following website, but for whatever reason, I’m not having much luck.

Basically…I get an empty page where the script should be…

I was able to work it out with the Namo Trial. Thanks Gramps! ^^

Scripts of Boys for Flowers ep 18-20

Just stumbled across them on a Chinese website, and here are the links

ep 18 – http://bbs.wubisheng.cn/thread-2547-1-1.html
ep 19 – http://bbs.wubisheng.cn/thread-2546-1-1.html
ep 20 – http://bbs.wubisheng.cn/thread-2545-1-1.html

I can’t quite help myself jumping for joy . . . . . . ya

Hi!
Just came across your site recently while looking for Boys over Flowers scripts.

I got a question: are the haansoft files only available as .exe files?

I use a Mac ,you see .
I searched online and should have been able to open the files using “textedit” , a text editing application.

However,it gives me this error message instead:

“The document “BBF2.hwp copy” could not be opened. The file is not in the right format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in a different format than you expect.”

All answers from any others are welcome

i have learned a lot..tnx..i know alredy how to write hangeul letters

Hey sorry..
did anyone get Goong (princess hours)?

When I opened the txt files,one to twelfth only gives me weird symbols, but thirteen to seventeen shows up perfectly…

I can not seem to get the script in korean. do you mind if you can copy and paste and send it to me through email?

Am i allowed to request specific scripts or not really? Could i request First Romance 1996-1997 KBS version? If i’m breaking rules or something, my apologies and please let me know if i am.

My email is svet_chick@yahoo.ca

thanks javabeans! i didn’t know where to turn to for korean scripts – i’m trying to improve my korean reading and speech skills….i’ve been a reader of your site for a while, but didn’t realize you provided scripts too! i just found these. thanks!!

@ Hanako

SBS withheld the scripts of My Girl at the author’s request, and they were never placed on line. I don’t think you are likely to find them anywhere.

@ Pol
You say you can’t download the rars; but I assume what you mean is you can’t open them?

If you have an OS X Mac, then stuffit expander will open them and let you extract the scripts. On Windows, you need to get winrar (nagware, but the nagging is mild) or 7-zip (freeware, it unpacks rar archives fine but can’t create them, but that doesn’t matter here). Google to find where to get those programs. This is actually covered in a number of comments above, and it would be a good idea to read through them if you hit further problems.

It sounds from the last part of your question as though you think there might be some sort of usable machine translation software that would handle these scripts. There isn’t. And I don’t think there ever will be. You can feed chunks of them to either Yahoo or Google translate, but you will most often get back what looks like gibberish (And if it doesn’t look like gibberish, it’s probably badly wrong, a defect to which specifically the Google approach to translation is especially prone where Korean is concerned).

But I wouldn’t advise you to aim to translate the scripts in written form. Instead, listen to the drama sound tracks and use the scripts to focus on what it is you’re hearing. Your aim should be to understand the Korean as you listen, not translate it. You can also use the scripts to look up individual words in on-line dictionaries by cut-and-paste. This avoids the problem of trying to type in words into on-line dictionaries: despite the propaganda to the contrary, Korean is *not* “spelled as it sounds” and for learners, writing a word they’ve heard but not seen in correct Hangeul so they can look it up can be quite a challenge. The same applies to a lot of people living abroad who learned Korean in infancy but never learned how to write it correctly. The scripts can help them, too.

This presupposes of course, that the on-line script more or less matches the dialogue in the shoot. You’ll discover that some dramas in fact stick much more closely to the published scripts than others — at the level of words and phrases as well as whole scenes being cut or added or radically revised. It’s best to start with dramas where the script and the dialogue on the sound track closely correspond.

how can i view the scripts in english? pls help me. thanks

Did the rest of Boys Before Flower’s subtitles ever get released? I’d love to start a dual subtitle project together with anyone interested, my website is koreanwikiproject.com

Amsori ai laik Song il gook.

Has anybody discovered scripts for City Hall by chance? I did a Naver search for “시티홀 대본”, but I didn’t find anything obviously useful and my Korean is still quite terrible.

That said, despite being terrible I can tell I’m making at least some progress. I’ve been in Korea for two months now, teaching English, and my Hangul reading has gotten much much faster in that time. My vocabulary is still too small to understand most things, but it’s always a pleasure when I do. Likewise, my listening comprehension is even worse, but hopefully some more drama watching will help me with that!

Considering I only studied a little before I came here, and I didn’t have my own internet for nearly a month after arrival (most ofmy study tools require internet), I’m pretty satisfied with my progress. I think the key to learning languages is to relax and enjoy the process, while still devoting a significant amount of time to it, and K-drama (and K-pop, for that matter) definitely help.

Sorry, diverged a bit from my initial question there…so, how about City Hall scripts?

Thanks!

if anyone knows what page in winter sonata is the scene for the polaris?. when the girl talks to min hyung about the star and how he will become her polaris.

Does anyone know of a good, free method of converting the .hwp files to .doc or .pdf? I’m kind of desperate; I’ve searched everywhere, but cannot seem to find a solution! Thanks.
