Linda and Judy are starting a new series this week, "Goblin: The Lonely and Great God" (쓸쓸하고 찬란하신 도깨비) from TVN. It stars Gong Yoo, Kim GoEun and Lee DongWook. 

We had a lot of questions. How did Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) travel from Korea to Canada in the 11th century with his mortal servant? Why must this drama have a romance between a 19 year-old Ji Euntak (Kim GoEun) and a 939 year-old? Why do we love watching the Goblin-Grim Reaper bromance more than the Goblin-Euntak interaction?

Most importantly: Do Koreans still use bankbooks and if so, how do they work?

 

Some Korean terms:

신: [shin] god.

맷돼지: [met-dweh-ji] wild boar.

나으리: [na-eu-ri] Milord.

재벌: [jae-beol] tycoon; rich person.

아저씨: [ah-juh-ssi] way of addressing an older man who is not related to you.

티격태격: [tee-gyeok-tae-gyeok] bickering.

김밥: [gim-bap] rice roll.

반말: [ban-mal] informal speech.

 

Happy holidays, everybody~!
