Ki-joon's aunt is identified as "Ok-ja" in the subtitles, but is "Ok-soon" on KBS's cast page for the show. As the saying goes, what's up with that? ;D

I thought it was Ok-ja. Because Ok-jin aka SM always calls her sister, "OK-JAAAAAH!!!!!" when she wants something. I don't know why it says Ok-soon.

You seem to have captured SM's essence perfectly, Lovely. HAha... I thought it was Ok-ja for a very long time... BUt then, now i'm just plain confused.. Maybe it's Ok-soon instead of Ok-jin. I mean MJ pronounces Inchula as Inchura..

The same letter in Korean is used for both the "L" and "R" sounds, taking the "R" sound if immediately followed by a vowel, hence Inchul/Inchura.

Yeah. And k and g... for example... gyeol yeonga instead of kyeol yeonga (winter ballad/love song/ sonata)

over here in nj, the subtitles are spelling it with a B as in Boksoon. strange...... that lady by the way is so annoying. since i missed the earlyier episodes, i'm not really sure who she is, but I don't see the point of her being in the drama, other than a space filler, to kill time.

The mysterious lady that came into the show is named Bok-soon. We were wondering of SM's younger sister is named Ok-ja or Ok-soon.

You're welcome, Hannah I know what you mean about the name confusion. There are so many characters in this drama with like similar names so it's easy to get mixed up.

If you want to learn the basics of the Korean language,I stumbled across a great site. It has quizzes,audio,and other fun stuff. langintro.comEven though I've visited the site a number of times,I still need English subtitles
