A scene advising and teasing a teacher with no dating experience.
Expressions that reveal a lack of dating experience and playful informal language, usage of neologisms.
In this scene, playful advice is given to a girl with no dating experience while teasing her. Expressions like '진짜 남자 모르는구나' (You really don't know what a real man is.) and '연애고자구나' (You are really bad at dating.) directly reveal the lack of dating experience while playfully mocking in an informal tone. Especially, '연애고자' (Someone who is bad at dating.) is a recent neologism used by the younger generation to lightly tease someone who is inexperienced in dating. Originally, '고자' refers to a man without a penis, but it is often used humorously to refer to someone lacking experience in something. Also, phrases like '내가 이걸 왜 가르쳐주고 있지?' (Why am I teaching this?) and '모르는 거 보니까 맞네' (I see you don't know, so it's true.) show a joking tone while slightly looking down on the other person during the conversation, demonstrating the comfort in their relationship.
