Really? this was also used in that drama with Siwon and LDH .. where she is reality star producer..this word has…
Yeah it is korean slang that is commonly used and actually a handy term to describe the in between state of attraction and not yet relationship, tbh.

Title Kokdu: Season of Deity Spoiler
So I binge watched the first 4 episodes. If this drama had aJapanese isekai novel title it would have probably…
Korean darth vader ahaha, so true. I agree that the drama lacks depth, but i see it more as a fun romp (between all the messy and miserable kdramas atm) and KJH's acting playground. And since both are hella entertaining to watch, i don't mind it much. Also the show isn't taking itself nearly half as seriously as too many people in this comment section do with their outrage about this silly little kdrama having the audacity to be silly instead a grim-dark fantasy epic xD

Yeeeep, the same "eVErY fANtAsy drAMa iS gObLiN" shit happened to when From Now On Showtime (my underrated beloved <3 ) aired last year. Those goblin.... goblins (pun intended) are like clockwork... a really ANNOYING clock at that, lmao.

I really really love this drama, but making everyone obsessed with a teacher is making it very odd to me, even…
It is also a cultural aspect, bc in south korea you address people according to their profession/titles instead of their names. To introduce him as teacher makes sense in that context... and FL has also been addressing him as such since the start/NF subtitles just auto-ignored it and used his name instead. Names are rarely used in that situation, if at all (and first name usage is very intimate, reserved for (married) couples and family/very close friends)

i was hesitant about her due to that too, but she is actually doing a good job, especially in her scenes and bickering…
Haha, thanks i have my moments. ๐Ÿ˜‚Also i am tired. Just let me watch Kim Jung Hyun's comeback drama and acting in peeeeeeace without the constant drone of miserable people and their superior complex regarding their kdrama watching taste.

Yes, I KNOW it is silly and tropey, that is why i like it, thanks. Now go away and watch the 56459459th revenge thriller/dark depressing but *deep* kdrama currently airing or releasing soon.
On Kokdu: Season of Deity Feb 5, 2023
In a sea of heavy kdramas with messy relationships and convoluted plots, my "just roll with it" drama of the week has delivered once more. It is just light, silly fun and i respect and like it for that unpretentious identity. I think i would have preferred it to be a 12 eps drama instead of 16 with that light/simple a plot and quick pace they are moving with, tho. However it is the characters and their dynamics/shenanigans and KJH's acting what makes it woooork and entertaining to watch. I enjoy to spend time with them and their varying degrees of insanity and high levels of "leave me alooone" energy. So relatable ๐Ÿ˜‚ and never a dull moment with them thus far.

Oh and we can't factor out that certain group of stans having a massive hate boner for Kim Jung Hyun either, of course. Not naming them, because then they appear like candyman ready for murder ๐Ÿ™ƒ (but if you know you know)

After the first, too chaotic episode aired (it was too fast paced and a tad too much plot for one episode) everyone and their uncle lost their shit and rage-quitted in a huff ...but not before declaring in long essays how this show is the worst thing ever having happened to kdrama and clowning in the review section after said SINGULAR episode of sixteen. Multi-tasking their outrage, they spared overly much of it for FL as well and insulted her acting, looks, and ancestry. Then we had, and unfortunately still have the "everything kdrama fantasy ever is only goblin stuck in 2016" crowd whining. Aaaaand now people just hate this silly little kdrama on principle because they enjoy being miserable puny gremlins who hate, well, silly little kdramas that are not *deep* enough for their oh-so enlightened taste. And because hating things is cool now, I guess?

Like, is it the best thing ever? No certainly not, but it is also not trying to be more than a quirky, entertaining and light kdrama with a reincarnation do over romance and characters slowly unfolding. And yet people act like this show has led their relative behind the barn and cold-blooded shot them at point blank.

It has been a wild two weeks in this comment section, i swear.

I first saw Im Soo Hyang in Woori the Virgin and her acting was painfully bad. This is really putting me off watching…
i was hesitant about her due to that too, but she is actually doing a good job, especially in her scenes and bickering rap battles with KJH. They have a very enjoyable, chaotic dynamic thus far.

oh yeah the flirting but not committed phase. I love that they have a word for it heh. Actually spelled ์ธ (sseom)…
์ธ (sseom) is used to describe that special โ€œsomethingโ€ between two people who are not in a relationship but have feelings for one another. There is โ€œsomethingโ€ (์ธ | sseom) between them.

The slang expression ์ธํƒ€๋‹ค (sseomtada) or ์ธ์„ ํƒ€๋‹ค (sseomeul tada) is used when two people know each other before dating, and start to get along.

Use ์ธ๋‚จ (sseomnam | about men), and ์ธ๋…€ (sseomnyeo | about women) to describe someone you have feelings towards but not formally dating.

Ep 3: I want this... "I wish money would just fall from the sky"... lol... even if Korean money, I would rake…
You know the most unrealistic thing about this drama is not the gods or teleporting, it is that NO ONE went after and picked up all the money that was spilled on the public streets/in front of a bank ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just a curious question, . Who guides the people in the afterlife for the 99days Kokdu is in the Living Realm…
Oh no, another chicken and egg question haha. But basically as god of death, he is the boss of grim reapers so to speak. So they do his due work along with their own, i guess.

Ep 4: I learned a new K word today "ssum" hahaha
oh yeah the flirting but not committed phase. I love that they have a word for it heh. Actually spelled ์ธ (sseom) but that is hard to parse just with listening to the word. Here is the full, smartass explanation from 90 days korean:

For ppl saying its not similar to goblin lemme break it to u - without Goblin there would have been no Kokdu today.…
Not me be surprised on finding 12 years old in k romcom comment sections....

Edit: But mirroring your words back at you aside, why are you so frikkin pressed about this? Drop and move on dude, it is neither that hard nor deep, lmao. Like if you wanna get stuck in your 2016 mindset where goblin is the only fantasy work that ever existed and ignore all existing korean folklore ever that is your prerogative i guess, However wrong that is have fun with that. Just stop clowning here and let us enjoy this silly little drama in peace, geez.

Why are you scared? ๐Ÿค”
Good decision. It has been a long time since I watched it and I'm still mad about FL's and the general shitty treatment of any female characters in this train wreck of a show, and how I wasted 16 hours of my life with this.
Replying to bloomingtide Feb 4, 2023
I watch this drama for KJH if anyone has not noticed that due to my essays about his acting each time lmao, but…
Oh no prob. Yeah, episode one is a bit... off in everything, especially pacing lol. It gets better from episode to episode tho, with episode 3 being the best so far. There you also will see what i mean about her acting being toe to toe with KJH even more, heh. He brings out the best out of his acting partners each time. And like the drama itself, it feels she has found her footing now.
