Lines 

장예진:저 전 남친이 바람 피워서 헤어졌거든요.

I broke up because my ex-boyfriend cheated on me. 

김주만:네, 그러세요?

I see. 

장예진:그래서 그런가 이상하게 대리님이 그렇게 막 철벽 치면 더 믿음직해요.

Maybe that’s why, but when you keep a distance, it makes me trust you more.  

김주만:네?

Excuse me? 

장예진: 다른 여자들한테도 다 그럴 거 같아서... 그래서 더...

I feel like you’ll act the same way to other women…so, I…

김주만:더? 

You…?

장예진:더 좋아요. 사귀고 싶어요.

I like you even more. I want to go out with you.


Expression of the Week

믿음직해요 trust you


믿음직하다 – reliable; trustworthy


Casual – 믿음직해

Semi-polite/Polite – 믿음직해요, 믿음직합니다


>>[믿음직하다] is an advective that means “being worthy of trusting” or “depending on a person by the looks of his/her actions or appearance”


>>In the dialogue, Ye-jin is telling Joo-man that she can trust him better because of the way he acts around women. [철벽치다] literally means to put up an iron wall, and is referring Joo-man’s actions where he leaves no room for doubt to other women that he is not interested in them. 


>>The opposite expression of [믿음직하다] would be [못미덥다] which means “unreliable”.
