Questions & Answers about yeonchulga apeseo daesareul aneun cheokhaesseo.

What does 연출가 mean here? Is it the same as 감독?

연출가 means a director, especially someone responsible for staging or directing a performance such as a play, musical, or other production.

It overlaps with 감독, but the nuance can differ:

• 연출가: often emphasizes staging / artistic direction / production direction
• 감독: a more general word for director, especially in film, TV, or sports coaching contexts

So in this sentence, 연출가 suggests someone like a stage or production director rather than just any kind of boss.

Why is it 앞에서 instead of 앞에?

앞에서 is used because the sentence describes an action happening in front of someone, or in someone’s presence.

• 앞에 = in front of, as a location
• 앞에서 = in front of, where an action takes place

So:

• 연출가 앞에 = in front of the director (location only)
• 연출가 앞에서 대사를 아는 척했어 = I pretended to know the lines in front of the director

With action verbs like 하다, 먹다, 말하다, 아는 척하다, 앞에서 is natural.

What does 대사 mean in this sentence?
