K-Drama reaction vocabulary
Discussing dramas with friends
어제 ○○ 봤어?Did you watch ○○ yesterday?
스포하지 마!Don't spoil it!
아직 못 봤어, 스포 ㄴㄴHaven't watched yet, no spoilers
진짜 빠져든다I'm so hooked
밤새 정주행했어I binged it all night
다음 회가 너무 궁금해I'm dying to see the next episode
OST가 미쳤어The OST is insane (so good)
정주행 (binge-watching) literally means 'straight road trip' — watching an entire series in one go. It's a badge of honor, not a vice. '어제 밤새 정주행했어' is a flex.
Korean drama discussion etiquette: NEVER spoil without warning. 스포 주의 (spoiler warning) is sacred. Ruining a plot twist can genuinely damage friendships. If someone hasn't watched yet, the correct response is 빨리 봐! 말 못 해! (watch it quick! I can't say anything!).
