Today's phrase: Drama
넌 내 후회야
neon nae huhwe-ya
"You're my regret."
Where it's from: ENA's 그대에게 드림, where the lead turns down her ex of 15 years. The grammar: 넌 is the casual squash of 너는, and -야 is the blunt ending you only use once you've stopped being polite. Which is the whole point of the line.
