I plan to do this place a small can of mace one of which I already carry on my key chain on of those spirally plastic wristbands . Since I no longer have any dogs , I feel especially vulnerable to both dogs and creepy men . <| sep |> Gonna go summon my persona guys , cya . <| sep |> I agree with you that most Kdramas are absolute rubbish , but the good news is that the drama scene is improving . I don ' t really have anything to recommend to you , but from snippets of different dramas that I ' ve seen on TV , the production values and quality of the performances are steadily increasing . In terms of learning language from movies , I ' d say that a lot of movies would probably not be very good for this purpose . You can pretty much rule out any historical movie , as they tend to speak in ' ye olde Korean ' which Koreans no longer use . You should also be careful of films that are set outside of Seoul , as they might use certain regional dialects that will probably not be that useful for you . I ' d say a good choice would be to go for genres like family dramas or romance . These tend to have contemporary settings , feature lots of dialogue , and the dialogue tends to be more relevant to everyday situations . You ' re not as likely to get useful dialogue out of something like Oldboy or New World , because they deal with situations and events that you are never likely to experience . Sadly , dramas are probably a better resource for language learning than movies overall , simply because they tend to be more of a lowestcommondenominator kind of product , and so the dialogue tends to be a lot more accessible . Korean movies are often aimed at more discerning audiences , and so they feature more intelligent dialogue which is great for the movie , but probably not all that useful for the intermediateloweradvanced language learner .
