1. 1

   B 서연아, 잠깐 이리 와 볼래? 어제 낸 영화 감상문 때문에 그래.

   Seoyeona, jamkkan iri wa bollae? Eoje naen yeonghwa gamsangmun ttaemune geurae.

   Seoyeon, can you come here for a second? It's about the film review you handed in yesterday.

   Line 1
2. 2

   A 네, 선생님. 혹시 제가 뭘 잘못 썼어요?

   Ne, seonsaengnim. Hoksi jega mwol jalmot sseosseoyo?

   Yes? Did I write something wrong?

   Line 2
3. 3

   B 잘못 쓴 건 아니고. 별 하나에 '지루함', 이 한 단어만 써 놨던데?

   Jalmot sseun geon anigo. Byeol hanae 'jiruham', i han daneoman sseo nwatdeonde?

   Nothing wrong exactly. But you gave it one star and wrote just one word: 'Boring.'

   Line 3
4. 4

   A 진짜 지루했거든요. 우리 반 애들 절반은 졸고 있었어요.

   Jinjja jiruhaetgeodeunyo. Uri ban aedeul jeolbaneun jolgo isseosseoyo.

   Because it really was boring. Half our class was nodding off.

   Line 4
5. 5

   B 그럴 수도 있지. 근데 감상문에는 느낌만 쓰는 게 아니라 왜 그렇게 느꼈는지도 써야 해. 어느 장면이 제일 지루했어?

   Geureol sudo itji. Geunde gamsangmuneneun neukkimman sseuneun ge anira wae geureoke neukkyeonneunjido sseoya hae. Eoneu jangmyeoni jeil jiruhaesseo?

   Fair enough. But a review isn't just how you felt; you have to say why you felt that way. Which scene was the most boring?

   Line 5
6. 6

   A 음, 주인공이 모험을 떠나는 장면부터요. 거기서부터 결말이 다 보였어요.

   Eum, juingongi moheomeul tteonaneun jangmyeonbuteoyo. Geogiseobuteo gyeolmari da boyeosseoyo.

   Um, from the part where the main character sets off on his adventure. From there I could see how it would end.

   Line 6
7. 7

   B 아, 이야기가 너무 뻔했구나. 그건 좋은 이유인데? 왜 그렇게 생각했어?

   A, iyagiga neomu ppeonhaetguna. Geugeon joeun iyuinde? Wae geureoke saenggakaesseo?

   Ah, so the story was too predictable. Now that's a good reason. What made you think so?

   Line 7
8. 8

   A 주인공이 처음엔 계속 실패하다가 마지막에 친구들 도움으로 이기잖아요. 다른 애니메이션도 다 그래요.

   Juingongi cheoeumen gyesok silpaehadaga majimage chingudeul doumeuro igijanayo. Dareun aenimeisyeondo da geuraeyo.

   The hero keeps failing at first, then wins at the end with his friends' help. All the other cartoons are like that too.

   Line 8
9. 9

   B 와, 생각보다 날카로운걸? 제법 비평가 같은데? 선생님은 그냥 재밌게만 봤는데.

   Wa, saenggakboda nalkaroungeol? Jebeop bipyeongga gateunde? Seonsaengnimeun geunyang jaemitgeman bwanneunde.

   Wow, that's sharper than I expected. You sound like a real critic. I just enjoyed it.

   Line 9
10. 10

    A 선생님은 재밌으셨어요? 애들은 다 지루하다고 했는데요.

    Seonsaengnimeun jaemisseusyeosseoyo? Aedeureun da jiruhadago haenneundeyo.

    You liked it? Everyone else said it was boring.

    Line 10
11. 11

    B 응. 선생님은 배경 그림이 워낙 섬세해서 그것만 봐도 좋더라. 재미는 결국 보기 나름이야.

    Eung. Seonsaengnimeun baegyeong geurimi wonak seomsehaeseo geugeonman bwado joteora. Jaemineun gyeolguk bogi nareumiya.

    Mm-hm. The background art was so detailed I was happy just looking at it. In the end, whether something's fun depends on how you watch it.

    Line 11
12. 12

    A 그럼 제 의견은 틀린 거예요?

    Geureom je uigyeoneun teullin geoyeyo?

    So my opinion is wrong?

    Line 12
13. 13

    B 아니, 의견에는 맞고 틀린 게 없어. 대신 설득력이 있어야 해. '지루함' 한 단어로는 아무도 설득 못 하잖아.

    Ani, uigyeoneneun matgo teullin ge eopseo. Daesin seoldeungnyeogi isseoya hae. 'Jiruham' han daneoroneun amudo seoldeuk mot hajana.

    No, opinions aren't right or wrong. But they have to be convincing. You can't convince anyone with just 'boring.'

    Line 13
14. 14

    A 그럼 아까 말씀드린 걸 쓰면 돼요? 이야기가 뻔해서 결말이 미리 보였다고요.

    Geureom akka malsseumdeurin geol sseumyeon dwaeyo? Iyagiga ppeonhaeseo gyeolmari miri boyeotdagoyo.

    Then can I write what I just told you? That the story was so predictable I could see the ending coming?

    Line 14
15. 15

    B 좋아. 스토리가 비슷한 다른 영화를 하나 예로 들면 더 좋고. 아, 그리고 좋았던 점도 하나는 찾아봐.

    Joa. Seutoriga biseutan dareun yeonghwareul hana yero deulmyeon deo joko. A, geurigo joatdeon jeomdo hananeun chajabwa.

    Good. Even better if you give another film with a similar story as an example. Oh, and find at least one thing you liked, too.

    Line 15
16. 16

    A 좋았던 점이요? 음, 주인공 옆에 늘 붙어 다니던 강아지는 좀 웃겼어요.

    Joatdeon jeomiyo? Eum, juingong yeope neul buteo danideon gangajineun jom utgyeosseoyo.

    Something I liked? Hmm, the puppy that always tagged along with the hero was kind of funny.

    Line 16
17. 17

    B 봐, 벌써 찾았네. 그런 것까지 쓰면 별이 하나라도 성의 있는 감상문이 되는 거야.

    Bwa, beolsseo chajanne. Geureon geotkkaji sseumyeon byeori hanarado seongui inneun gamsangmuni doeneun geoya.

    See, you've found one already. If you write that in too, even a one-star review becomes a thoughtful one.

    Line 17
18. 18

    A 그럼 별은 그대로 하나만 줘도 돼요?

    Geureom byeoreun geudaero hanaman jwodo dwaeyo?

    So I can still give it just one star?

    Line 18
19. 19

    B 당연하지. 별점은 네 자유야. 이유만 적어도 세 개 써 오면 돼.

    Dangyeonhaji. Byeoljeomeun ne jayuya. Iyuman jeogeodo se gae sseo omyeon dwae.

    Of course. How many stars you give is up to you. Just write at least three reasons.

    Line 19
20. 20

    A 세 개요? 뻔한 줄거리, 강아지... 반 애들이 절반이나 졸았다는 것도 이유가 돼요?

    Se gaeyo? Ppeonhan julgeori, gangaji... ban aedeuri jeolbanina joratdaneun geotdo iyuga dwaeyo?

    Three? The predictable plot, the puppy... Does "half the class fell asleep" count as a reason?

    Line 20
