Song-yi indirectly confesses her feelings to Min-jun.
Avoiding directness in Korean confessions and the use of 'you' as a term of address, repetition of emotional expressions.
'나 어떻게 생각해?' (What do you think of me?) and '나 여자로 어때?' (How do I look as a woman?) illustrate how Chun Song-yi struggles to express her feelings openly. '그쪽' (That way) is a term often used when there is some distance in the relationship. Additionally, the repetition seen in '아니야! 대답하지 마! 대답하면 죽어!' (No! Don't answer! If you do, you'll die!) highlights a characteristic of Korean conversation where emotions are emphasized through repetition.
