Questions & Answers about yojeum boneun deuramaga jaemiisseoseo eojedo gyesok bwasseo.
What does 요즘 mean here?
요즘 means these days, lately, or recently. In this sentence, it sets up the background: the speaker is talking about a drama they have been watching in recent days, not just at this exact moment.
So 요즘 보는 드라마 is basically the drama I’m watching these days.
Why is it 보는 드라마 and not 본 드라마?
This is a very common question.
- 보는 드라마 = the drama I am watching / the drama I watch
- 본 드라마 = the drama I watched / have seen
Here, -는 is the present descriptive form used before a noun. It often describes an action that is ongoing, habitual, or currently relevant.
So:
- 요즘 보는 드라마 = the drama I’m currently watching these days
- 요즘 본 드라마 would sound more like a drama I watched these days, with more emphasis on completed viewing
Because the speaker is still in the middle of watching it, 보는 드라마 is the natural choice.
Why is there no 를 in 보는 드라마?
