[jjon-deu-gi] is a nostalgic Korean snack that has been loved for generations. Its name comes from its signature chewy texture, as [jjon-deuk] means 'chewy' in Korean. Made primarily from rice flour and syrup, it delivers a perfect balance of chewiness and sweetness. 

This snack usually comes in long stick shapes and can be enjoyed as-is or lightly grilled for an extra treat. Grilling creates a crispy exterior while keeping the inside even more satisfyingly chewy. Back in the day, it was a common sight near schools, earning it a spot in the hearts of many as a childhood favorite.

🧑 Male: 끈적임 없이 투명해. 

🧑 Male: [tu-myeong-hae]. 

The skin is flawless, clear, and radiant. 

The term [tu-myeong-hae] is the verb form of the noun [tu-myeong], which means something that is clear and transparent, like water, allowing light to shine through completely. While it often refers to the clarity of objects or states, in Korean, it is also commonly used to describe a person’s personality, attitude, or even appearance, such as clear skin. 

For example, when someone speaks honestly and openly, without any pretense, you might say, “Their personality is [tu-myeong-hae].” Similarly, if someone has flawless, blemish-free skin, people might compliment them by saying, “Their skin is [tu-myeong-hae].” This term often carries a sense of admiration for pure, unadorned qualities. 

UUU is more than just a web drama—it's a moving journey through dreams, love, and growth, emotions we all can relate to. Yujin's delicate performance, combined with the drama's beautiful musical elements, leaves a lasting impression despite its brief runtime.
