The Moment of Confession Between Lovers
Expressions used in conversations about confessing to date.
They are discussing who will confess to date first. '사귀자' (let's date) is a significant expression in starting a romantic relationship in Korea. '우리 뭐에요?' (What are we?) means '우리 무슨 사이에요?' (What kind of relationship are we?) or '우리 무슨 관계에요?' (What is our relationship?). In Korea, it's common for men to confess first. So in the drama, the woman is saying something like, 'Why don't you confess to me?' However, the younger generation these days tends to communicate more freely without such cultural norms. Keep this cultural point in mind!
