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 |
