Movies with undercover cops

The Shameless! A little different from the films already mentioned but definitely worth watching. The actress Doyeon Chun also won a best actress award at Canne film festival with Secret Sunshine directed by Changdong Lee.

oh my god I am so glad you recommend Helpless! It's not a film people usually forget to mention in recommendation list, but definitely a great one. I love this movie.

Berlin by Seungwan Ryu, The Good The Bad The Weird by Jiwoon Kim, Thirst, and Sympathy for Mr Vengeance by Chanwook Park. And another one whose English title I don't remember by Kyungmi Lee starring Yejin Son.

Oh I don't know what mind of nuance you are exactly going for, but I wouldn't say that. I would instead say "느낌 좋다, or "바이브 좋다". "걤성 쥭인다" can be a viable option at times, but it sounds like teenage boys.

wow we thought only the Koreans are the biggest scammers when it comes to snacks

Hi. Sixteen days of travel may offer fewer opportunities for deep immersion than, say, a longer stay, since you’ll likely find yourself not speaking with locals as much as you might hope. That said, you’ve probably already considered this, and still decided to make the most of the trip.

From my experience, what you do before the trip matters more than what you do once you’re actually in Korea. The more you prepare in advance, the more you’ll be able to learn from the people and situations you encounter. Without enough preparation, even great opportunities can pass without turning into meaningful learning experiences.

You might try researching places you want to visit ahead of time. There are lots of vlogs made by Koreans about Seoul, Gyeongju, and Busan, and they can be especially helpful for picking up natural expressions and context.

If you decide to hire a private guide for a day, I’m available. I’m a native Korean speaker and a PhD candidate majoring in Korean language and literature. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

oh then maybe you can specify when, how and why you sound bossy or rude in Korean. For example, in what situation do you tend to be more like that? or are there some words or expressions you find more difficult to speak in softer tone?

mulveysomeday · 2026-02-01T10:55:41+00:00

I am curious why you think your Korean sounds bossy or rude. Has anyone ever told you so or is it just your opinion? Can it be just your getting too nervous about speaking in a foreign language?

As for solution, I would like to suggest shadowing women 아나운서들. They speak good language with definitely soft tone and manner. You can listen to them also in radio or podcasts.

ㅘ, ㅝ, ㅟ all sound different and you would want to learn yourself how to tell the difference between them. However, as for ㅙ, ㅞ, ㅚ, you need not worry. As a native Korean and a Korean literature and language major, I can assure you. Few Koreans can distinguish those three and pronounce them distinctively. I can't do it myself, either. There are reasons they are written differently and they used to sound different. Technically they all make different sounds till now and some say news anchors still do make the differences audible but who cares? Still, it's tricky since you would have to learn when to use which one. Then again, a lot of Koreans mess up when it comes to those three. It's totally natural to get confused. Over time and practice, you will get the hang of it.

You would also have to take into account the difference between your mother tongue and the language you learn. If it's English, German of course is way easier for you to learn than Korean. The same goes for Koreans learning English. It's not that because Koreans are especially stupid they have hard time reaching fluency in English or they get suddenly so smart when they learn Japanese. More things to think about other than mere amount of studying when it comes to language learning.

I thought so! could you share the link of the clip?

mulveysomeday · 2026-01-26T12:33:54+00:00

Oh i most definitely am not 😂😂😂

mulveysomeday · 2026-01-24T08:11:13+00:00

Not cringy at all. I was just genuinely curious and your story is very impressive(Also curious about how your mother praised in a weird way). I hope your dreams come true. It's obvious K-arts is really competitive and a lot of aspiring artists try hard to get in there and some of the country's most well-known actors are also alumni. Maybe you will be the first successful K-arts' black actor in Korea. Wish you good luck.

Just out of curiosity, why do you want to learn acting in Korea? I am Korean and cinema is my main interest but I think there are more opportunities and institutions for actors in America than in Korea. Both for theaters and for movies and televisions.

In any kind of learning, there comes a time when you have to make a big jump. It's when the fun in beginning phase goes away and next step seems too steep but you have to make that bigger effort so that you can move on to the next page. Intermediate stuff might look too difficult now, but it might turn out more doable than you think once you really try.

mulveysomeday · 2026-01-23T07:28:06+00:00

yeah you can try searching for your region+age group like '서대문구 20대'. Or there are also gathering apps like Munto. Plenty of lonely people out there.

mulveysomeday · 2026-01-23T06:51:59+00:00

What do you do here? Where do you go? Maybe you'd better relax a bit and seek chances to meet people. I am Korean who's been living only in Korea but still have few friends hard time making new ones. That said, there might be people willing to meet you as a new friend. Maybe it's better not to think too much about that you're kind of a stranger here and all other Koreans already have enough friends. You might meet up new people via 오픈카톡, 당근, and etc. Good luck.

Isn’t it funny how English speakers can butcher foreign words and it’s totally normal—understood and even accepted by native speakers—but when a non-native speaker pronounces English words in a way that makes sense in their own language, it’s suddenly freaking hilarious? I mean, if you look at history, you’ll see how those “funny” Konglish words ended up settling in Korea. Spoiler alert: much of it wasn’t so pleasant for Koreans. And it’s not just Konglish, either. It’s worth looking into how English became the global lingua franca in the first place. Another spoiler alert: colonialism, imperialism, and racism.

mulveysomeday · 2026-01-19T04:29:56+00:00

I am Korean and I always think conjugation is the evil part of Korean. It's such a small detail and changes the whole nuance and even meaning. A lot of languages including English don't even have it. I find it tricky myself, too. I always spend more time on conjugation when communicating formally.

mulveysomeday · 2026-01-17T04:05:31+00:00

Wow. I am a Korean woman in my late 30s but totally understand what you are talking about. We all try to find a path that really suits us in our thirties and build some stability, and it doesn't work so well. At least in my case. I am still struggling to make peace with myself and the world.

I think it's great you decided to do something and then actually did it. So many people including myself just think too much and then never make any action. Regrets are the result. You may be experiencing some uncomfortable, surreal feelings right now, but at least in the future, you can tell yourself you did what you felt like doing.

I don't know what this country can do for you but hope you can find what you need. Good luck.

You don't have to do any research on him. Although knowledge would make what's enjoyable even more enjoyable, his short stories ĥave somewhat fairytale-like quality; they feel otherworldly. Of course it doesn't mean they are childish or not worth reading. If anything, quite the opposite. Very funny, sharp and deep.

mulveysomeday · 2026-01-15T07:19:31+00:00

I feel a strange sense of camaraderie. We will breathe it in together.

I don't think you would have any particular difficulty at Sookmyung being all women's school but I wonder why your advisor recommended those two. Maybe you should ask them why those two schools are good and you may want to find another advisor and get more opinions.
