ep10-Hangulis-Best
Nugget nuggets, as promised. Koreans and their unabiding love for the simplicity and clarity of Hangul!!! Even folks from other planets agree about its superiority. I’m surprised King Sejong didn’t get a name check 🤣

    I laughed SO hard at that.

      It was a fabulous moment!!! It really is an excellent written language, though!

        You’ve drunk the 한글-aid!!!

        Of course, I find it admirable as well…but man are there more exceptions to the rules than they let on upfront. I have one word for you: 받침.

        @bbstl I really did roll my eyes. Lovingly, tho. I also liked how the mad scientist turned into a silly “puppy dog” in episode 9.

          Lol English is the same way with exceptions to rules, though, so maybe that’s why I’m just 🤷‍♀️ about it? I also tried to learn German at one point, but remembering the gender of nouns was just not working out for me 🤣 All languages are unique in their own beautiful and frustrating ways!

            It’s hard to beat English for inconsistent spelling conventions and almost NO consistent connection between the letter used and the sound you make. So, along those lines, Hangul WINS!

            King Sejong King Sejong King Sejong!!!


            ^^^^That is, of course THIS GUY. To me, this is what Sejong the Great is, was, and will always look like.


            Also, as a reminder, this is what Ahn Hyo-seop looked like in the same 2015 drama. I do not wish to speculate about the reason for the change, but boy howdy do I note the change!!!

          Yes, very lovingly and with appreciation that they’re right to be proud 👍🏽

          Ooooh, 한글-aid, excellent pun!

          Yeah but the batchim rules are applied consistently. Korean pronunciation is so much easier to learn than English!!
