To enhance your cultural understanding of Korean shows, KDramaForNonKoreans.com also offers articles that explain various cultural nuances that are frequently present in K-dramas.

One expression that often causes confusion for non-Korean viewers is the phrase, “Do you want to die?” - KDramaForNonKoreans.com explains that this is a literal translation from Korean, but could be more accurately translated into English as, “Are you out of your mind?”, and is intended as an expression of frustration or as a cheeky jab at someone else’s actions.
“If you are not Korean, certain iconic scenes, cultural nuances, or even plot twists can be as mysterious and confusing as the Bermuda Triangle and the Pyramids of Egypt combined,” explains a spokesperson for KDramaForNonKoreans.com. “Unravel the fun and mystery of K-drama obsession with us as we decode all of these, revealing the heart and hilarity in each one.”
