Glad to see its not just me. Hope BF gets it fixed soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I think they're Korean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's my impression. The characters do not look like either Chinese or Japanese, so far as I am familiar with them. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud Backer Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 It's Korean. Something about baseball games. Guess someone is a huge enthusiast! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sburke Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Steve should just announce the next title is on CM Korea, that'll likely scare the crap out of them. And Yeah it is Korean ---> 영종도운북동 Japanese shares a lot of Chinese characters which interestingly Korea does not. Something I have never really understood is why Korea's written language has remained so unique despite having been occupied whereas Japan has copied so much from China without having been occupied. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I have never really understood is why Korea's written language has remained so unique despite having been occupied whereas Japan has copied so much from China without having been occupied. The Korean alphabet is actually a relatively recent development. Before the 15th Century Korean was written using Chinese characters. For a long time literacy was the sole preserve of the upper classes. The only way to move up in society was to take the civil service examinations which required years of study of Chinese characters. The Korean king Sejong the Great wanted people to become literate so he commissioned a group of scholars to develop an easily understood writing system. It took them a couple of years and the king presented Hangul to his people in 1446. It's actually a really well developed alphabet and incredibly easy to learn. It took me about a week to learn it at DLIFLC. Of course Korean grammar is a completely different animal... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Learning Korean alphabet sounds like a temping pastime! I watch so much Korean TV in my spare time that I can already pick out a few works and phrases. Noona, ajusshi, oppa, banmal and jondaemal, kimbap and kimchi, aegyo, ajumma, chaebol, deabak, sunbae and hoobae, hwa-ting (fighting!) and even pojangmacha. Wow, I really DO watch a lot of Korean TV! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really got into Korean TV dramas myself. I find them to be a little ridiculous. On the other hand I really enjoy Korean cinema. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Korean TV is like American TV. 85%+ of it is... um... not good. The nice thing about online streaming archives, you can go search a decade or more and pluck out the good series. If you know what to look for. A 2009 series here, a 2014 series there. On the topic of 'now China', there are now big budget highly polished Chinese TV dramas available across Asia now. Looks like the American world hegemony of perpetual 'Friends' reruns is coming to n end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
