마왕 (The Devil)

The Devil, while very predictable, was very refreshing to watch.  While most Korean dramas are 100% romantic comedies, The Devil is a murder mystery series (without the mystery).  The music and cinematography really contributes to make this very watchable.  If you love Korean dramas and want to explore a different genre than normal then you should definitely check this out.  There’s still a love story, but it takes a backseat in this one.

All the actors are pretty good including my favorite actress 신민아 (Sad Movie).  신민아 plays a girl who has a type of psychic ability where she can see things from the point of view of people or objects if she touches them with her hands.  The story revolves around a detective played by 엄태웅 who is investigating a series of murders.  A young, aspiring lawyer, 주지훈 (Goong) keeps defending all of the suspects in the murder cases.  How are all these people connected?  You’ll have to watch to find out.  Here’s the introduction to The Devil:

Vocabulary #1: Throw

I will post vocabulary I have picked up recently as often as possible. I will also post where I learned it and any special method I use to remember it. I will also link each word to the dictionary definition.

Doing this has a few meanings for me. First, I have a personal record of what I’ve learned so I can go back and easily review. Second, anyone else can follow and see the methods I have used to learn Korean and pick up some vocab.

KoreanClass101.com:
면접 = an interview (I remember the first 한자 means ‘to face’ but I don’t know the second)
던지다 = to throw AND to pitch (I think of ‘don’t cheat’ when you throw the ball, the sound is kind of similar)
어울리다 = to suit (someone)

마왕 (K-Drama):
한심하다 = to be pitiful (ouch, the dad kept calling his son this!)

Family Guy (TV Show):
파리 목숨이다 = I’ll live a crappy life (I need to explain this one. For SOME reason beyond my knowledge, there were Korean subtitles randomly thrown into the show! Well, I didn’t know the phrase so I looked it up. The picture above is a screenshot of it.)
