around 1h 17m where we’re talking about tone and satire…
What I was trying to say is that satire is hard to catch sometimes, but I didn’t mention that a lot of that is also because of language — linguistic cues and word choices are really important to show tone, which might go over the head of people without a lot of language knowledge. But even after saying that… there IS great Korean satire that doesn’t rely on language ability — at the top, there’s stuff like Bong Joon-ho’s “The Host” or “Parasite” but also (and I know I’m dating myself with these references) less elite stuff like “200 pound beauty” (2006), and “Please Teach Me English” (2003) don’t take themselves too seriously.
