Watching two characters fall in love and the actions that follow can also be described as "lovey-dovey". And thankfully, that word can be said in Korean too!

알콩달콩

al-kong dal-kong

Lovey-Dovey

You can also add ~하다 to the end, making it 알콩달콩하다. An example would be 그 부부가 너무 알콩달콩하다. geu booboo ga nomu alkong dalkong hada, which translate to "That couple is so lovey-dovey".

You can hear how it sounds as Hong HaeIn (Kim JiWon) asks Baek HyunWoo (Kim SooHyun) a question in "Queen Of Tears".

Can you recall a moment that you can describe as 알콩달콩?
