A Korean-Chinese co-production drama? A phrase chosen by 'Chara,' a film translator and power blogger!
An expression that has been collected from Chinese and Taiwanese dramas over the years.
Among them, we have included only the 'honey expressions' that locals love to use.

Real Chinese found on Chinese social media!

I had an experience where I had a conversation with a Chinese person and couldn't understand him at times, so he just smiled kindly.
You may have had the experience of wanting to say something like 'Wow' or 'Awesome' but feeling frustrated because the expressions don't exist in the dictionary.
We'll teach you expressions that will make communication with Chinese people smoother, even if you only know one or two.

Providing mp3 files that are more realistic than reality!

If you find it difficult to watch Chinese dramas or movies, and don't want to bother looking for subtitles, just listen to the mp3 files.
It's more fun than dramas or movies thanks to the goosebump-inducing performances of professional voice actors.
You can understand the expressions and nuances just by listening to the mp3 file.

※ Caution: Be careful, you may receive compliments from Chinese people such as “I didn’t know you were Korean” or “Aren’t you Chinese?”
