North Koreans react to K-drama "Crash Landing on You" Part 3: Language

[@reservoirman]

"When this drama reaches North Korean audiences, I personally anticipate a tremendous ripple effect that we can't even begin to imagine" very happy to hear him say that... hoping this drama can help bring about positive change on the Korean peninsula

[@animaticToshiue]

It might also be a scary price to pay

[@mina0792]

So afraid about the high price to pay for freedom....

[@picapica201]

Since they don't have the Internet, it depends on when they will be airing it on TV? But wait, today that's digital as well & you need a special decoder with unique ID card to decipher it even if you get the signal. So do they smuggle them on VHS or CD/DVD? Or do Koreans still air the TV the analog way along the digital? Se-ri mentioned multiple times that the dramas were "10 years old", so they're not getting them in real time/TV, right?

[@jamieblaire]

@@picapica201 i read that it's common to buy USB sticks at the black market with foreign content on them (often south korean drama), so that might be how some of them find it. but i'm not sure, especially bc border control has been quite tight the past 3 years, as i heard. i'm not even sure if this method is still what they use currently

I love these three, they are fun and have good chemistry. Please let them react to other dramas etc. with NK in them.

[@LaKo3298]

King 2 Hearts!!

[@evildwagon7118]

I don't remember the name or how it ended (because I only saw 2 episodes) but it was a K-Drama about NK and SK having an exchange of athletes and a female athlete from SK fell in love with one from NK...or something like that:D

[@งืมจ้า]

Why is it so short? I would not mind watching half an hour video about NK.

[@MacGregor3]

These 3 videos was definitely the best way to calm down after being in denial about the show ending. Thank you for answering all the questions.

[@llkmbff]

Very curious about the train selling scene. Is that actually a thing🤔

[@thinking959]

Another north korean said that's true. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXzFgYxsrNGZn9E

[@reservoirman]

@@thinking959 thanks for that link! Yeah it's true but they don't rush down, they're already there waiting haha

[@pjhkoo]

My father grew up in south korea in the 50s, and said it was kind of similar in south korea too. At stops merchants would sell you stuff through the the window. But you'd only have a few minutes to buy stuff before the train left.

[@ojgfhuebsrnvn2781]

I am from Ukraine i didn't live in USSR since i was born in 1993 but up to maybe 2005 we still had people selling thing in train too. Some of them were selling on train stations and some were walking through train and with loud voice offering something to buy . I think on some train stations its still a thing. Generally, nothing I told to my parents about North Korea surprised them, they just had nostalgic memories.

[@lsamoa]

@@pjhkoo But would the merchants sing like this and have the whole train clap along?

[@HaruSkage]

I really like that girl's personality, she does not seem bitter or anything about her past.

[@orange1809]

I want to know about NK elites more because they seem to have some sort of freedom. I want to know how they feel about the difference in class.

[@Bucherviews]

If you're interested in that, go watch videos by Kang Nara. She was a rich North Korean but she defected and now makes videos about North Korea, she's great to watch (:

[@veeveegem]

@@Bucherviews actually the guy in this video is the most affluent one amongst all the NK defectors I’ve watched on youtube that reacted to CLOY, he’s actually an elite. In the previous videos, he said he’s from Pyeongyang and his dad owns boats restaurants, etc (if my memory serves me right) and even studied in China. Kang Nara, on the other hand, was from a rural area 2 hours or so away from Pyeongyang and has never set foot there. Hence, if you compare her commentaries to CLOY to this group, hers were very negative and sadly, she’s also close minded, not considering that she only represents one portion of NK while NK has rich, diverse regional culture.

[@rachelcookie321]

I hadn’t thought about the fact that ‘crash landing on you’ has probably made its way to North Korea. I really wonder how those living in North Korea view it. I wonder if it had any effect on the people there.

[@kerstinjernberg5505]

I also wonder if it would be seen as worse than watching other dramas? Like it could be seen as political in a way that the government in NK hate.

[@kayl.2877]

When he did the Seoul accent it sounded like Seri’s accent when she talked it sounded like she was asking a question lol

[@MyWingsFly]

These videos are so incredible! I kept thinking the whole time I was watching CLoY about how accurate the show is and what North Koreans would think of it

[@farhahxoxo]

i miss pyo chi soo

[@maitri2964]

Can we have longer videos please.. it’s so amazing to hear them talk about NK!!

[@heartdan513]

Actually there was a drama called king 2 hearts, the story also about the relations between south and north Koreans played by Lee Seung Gi & Ha Ji Won... I hope you guys react to that drama too even tho that's an old drama 🙏

[@PrograError]

the middle lady (the NK lady) is so pretty, seem like they have been there for awhile...

[@gamegeekx]

The beginning video was beautiful. North Korean dialect always sound very interesting.

[@marie01ism]

I’m sure most of the ppl watching cant even different north and south korean accents lol

[@larrynoelle-8950]

True but I lost it when they said hyung and dongsaeng 😂😂

[@colorwithxanthiepiers]

I can hear the accent and I’m American.

[@sadhikahuria5908]

if we watch kdramas a lot, you can definitely tell the difference, i can too, and the young boys looked so cute speaking NK accent

[@rozhin6055]

I only know some Korean words and phrases so even though I can't speak fluent Korean and only from consuming Korean content be it drama or music I can, for the most part, tell the difference between them :)

[@wkeyz]

It is only possible if they have already learned Korean language.

[@jaimec2783]

They should review the whole series, I would def watch it

[@kristinet.6863]

Please slow down on the subtitles, they're too fast! I don't mind reading them but they're already 2 subtitles in when I'm still trying to read halfway.

[@SofiaTapia]

Yes, they disappear too fast I have to pause the video to read

[@P0rQpine]

LOUDERRRR

[@P0rQpine]

LOUDERRRR

[@lia1349]

Yeah and I think the guy also talks too fast.

[@sadhikahuria5908]

am i the only one who thought that it wasn't that fast

[@koyukiny]

These three have funny chemistry lol

[@VaaleeLol]

They are so funny together!

[@missmiss3284]

Please do it more comment about crash landing on you.. i really want to know from north korean's opinion..

[@SoyMarina]

Ufff... I made it to the 3rd part! I think I have the extreme - high speed reading superpower after this.

[@daeseongkim93]

For us koreans thats how we feel reading our korean subtitles on english film

[@mumbimusau5871]

@ Kim ,Have subtitles when you watch Korean shows. This will help and make it easier to watch shows with English subtitles. l have subtitles on for English shows all the time. this has made it possible to watch the K D with ease, and enjoy. Havent watched alot of K Drama' but so far enjoyed the ones lve watched. lm happy that it's possible to watch shows from around the world ,cos we have the subtitle option. Have fun..😀

[@karlacholele1350]

As spanish speaker, that was kind of challenge but yess I have that superpower too 😅

[@jadea7126]

More please, this is so underrated

[@noemitroya3495]

Hola! Soy el comentario en español que buscas jaja

[@helbertremo6747]

So more like north korean still have kinda same with japanese vibe accent

[@aki-vy2zv]

Is there part 4?

[@leogyp]

신기한건 “애미아이” 를 안 쓴다고 모든 탈북민들이 말하고 있다. 그런데 북에서 전쟁때 오신 실향민 할머니 할아버지들은 우리 어릴때 여자들은 다 애미아이고 남자들은 “아새끼”라고 하셨다. 결론은 시대가 변하면서 없어진 단어 인것 같습니다. 우리 어릴때 “아스케키” 라고 했던 아이스크림 같이.

[@ysaquill6049]

where's the rest of this series pls?

[@aki-vy2zv]

Are there celebrities and dramas in north korea?

[@bloom.ss67]

Ok m still confused...i know the girl in the middle is a defector but what abt the guy?? Sinc he is an elite

[@momonomono]

They’re both defectors. You can be an elite and still be a defector. If you’re confused about how an ‘elite’ can be a defector, well a lot of times, they can be students who were studying abroad and just never came back. In other cases, if they have the money, they can bribe guards, or simply pay off brokers/smugglers.

[@katelynjihyewong]

i think school didn’t teach me that much because i thought north koreans weren’t allowed to watch any kdramas let alone post a yt video

[@Joonggrami]

2 of them are North Korean but this was shot in South Korea. Those 2 don't live in North Korea anymore they're defectors.

[@melindalehan2060]

do they still have restrictions on haircuts like the exec. lady had to get?

[@Yaris99]

왛.....진자북한 사투리 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 야야야 동무동지

[@isenmileshamson4603]

I wonder If I can hang glide over North Korea!!

[@TimLee356]

케이크는 케키라고 그러지요.

[@beenhacked4298]

I thought they could be killed for watching foreign TV. Is that not true?

[@DerekMcDouglas]

Show then Korean-dubbed anime.

[@mildarizka874]

Well i found north korean accents sexy ....

[@julielikesunicorns348]

Its illegal to watch drama? Thats so sad

[@yourdaum1]

Everything from SK is illegal.
