Show the answer
An expression used when feeling good or satisfied, or when positively evaluating something because it appeals to you.
It is used as an adjective, either alone at the end of a sentence or as the predicate. Unlike ‘좋아하다’ (to like), it describes a state or evaluation rather than an emotion directed toward an object. In statements, it naturally appears in 해라체 or 해요체.
Same expression in other scenes
- 캐릭터 좋다 — It is pleasing; I like it.
