⚠️ Don’t use korean-drama-guide when…

Dramas heavily feature informal speech (반말) between close friends — using this register with strangers or elders in real life is considered rude. Also, historical and fantasy dramas use archaic Korean that differs significantly from modern speech, so beginners should start with contemporary slice-of-life shows.
