What does 재밌을 거 같은데 mean?

재밌을 거 같은데 means "It seems like it will be fun." in Korean.

How it works here

‘A/V-(으)ㄹ 거 같다’ expresses a guess that something seems to be the case without stating it with certainty. Here, ‘재밌을 거 같다’ softly expresses the judgment that it will be fun.

Key expression

-(으)ㄹ 거 같다

An expression showing a guess or judgment without complete certainty

It is attached to verbs and adjectives and is often used for guesses about the present or future. After a stem with no final consonant or with ㄹ as the final consonant, use -ㄹ 거 같다 (갈 거 같다, 만들 거 같다); after other final consonants, use -을 거 같다 (먹을 거 같다). It is the colloquial form of ‘-(으)ㄹ 것 같다’ and sounds softer than a definitive statement.
