Korean Handwriting Calligraphy: Woo Do-hwan's Iconic Line from Netflix's Mr. Plankton

#KoreanHandwriting

Have you seen the Korean drama Mr. Plankton on Netflix?

The emotional impact was so intense that I couldn't even sleep afterwards. 😂

It inspired me so much that I decided to create a Hangeul calligraphy piece using one of Haejo's (Woo Do-hwan) iconic lines! 🎨✨

In the episode 10, Haijo (Woo Do-hwan) says this.

Haijo's line

I If you throw yourself into the unknown, then you're not adrift anymore.

I 미지의 땅에 날 던진 순간 그 때 비로소 방황이 아니라 방랑이 시작된다고.

Here’s where it gets cool—Korean uses two words here, 방황[bang-hwang] and 방랑[bang-rang], and they have totally different vibes!

• 방랑[bang-rang]

  Wandering freely without a fixed destination. Think adventurous road trips or soul-searching journeys.

  
  

• 방황[bang-hwang]

  Feeling lost without direction or purpose, like when you're unsure what to do next or feel stuck.

The key difference? [bang-rang] is about choosing to explore and feeling liberated, while [bang-hwang] describes being lost, both physically and emotionally.

Even though they sound similar, they’re worlds apart in meaning. Now you know how to describe both freedom and confusion in Korean. How cool is that? 😄
