Now listen carefully.
0:11.64 – 0:12.54 (0.9s)
3
Anna, yesterday I saw a very interesting story online.
0:14.18 – 0:17.60 (3.4s)
4
It's about a girl who suddenly enters a novel.
0:18.26 – 0:20.96 (2.7s)
5
Have you heard stories like that before?
0:21.62 – 0:23.00 (1.4s)
6
Yes, those stories are very popular now.
0:23.62 – 0:26.18 (2.6s)
7
What happens in this one?
0:26.38 – 0:27.54 (1.2s)
8
At the beginning, the girl is just a normal person living in the modern world.
0:28.04 – 0:32.04 (4.0s)
9
One day, she reads a novel about a very cruel and dangerous villain boss.
0:32.42 – 0:37.02 (4.6s)
10
Let me guess.
0:37.46 – 0:38.16 (0.7s)
11
Something strange happens and she enters that novel, right?
0:38.16 – 0:41.94 (3.8s)
12
Exactly.
0:42.50 – 0:42.78 (0.3s)
13
After an accident, she wakes up inside the story.
0:42.78 – 0:46.48 (3.7s)
14
But the problem is that she is not the main character of the novel.
0:46.98 – 0:50.58 (3.6s)
15
Oh no.
0:50.88 – 0:51.32 (0.4s)
16
Then who is she in the story?
0:51.32 – 0:53.48 (2.2s)
17
She becomes a side character, and in the original story, that character has a very tragic ending.
0:54.10 – 1:00.16 (6.1s)
18
That already sounds scary.
1:00.54 – 1:02.06 (1.5s)
19
What happens to her in the story?
1:02.06 – 1:04.30 (2.2s)
20
According to the original plot, her family forces her to marry the villain boss.
1:04.72 – 1:09.44 (4.7s)
21
This man is famous for being cold, powerful, and very cruel in business.
1:09.90 – 1:14.58 (4.7s)
22
So everyone thinks her life will become terrible after the marriage?
1:15.06 – 1:18.60 (3.5s)
23
Yes, even the girl herself thinks her life will become a nightmare.
1:19.34 – 1:23.10 (3.8s)
24
She already knows the future, so she is very afraid.
1:23.46 – 1:26.32 (2.9s)
25
So she still has to marry him in the end?
1:27.14 – 1:29.54 (2.4s)
26
Yes, her family forces her to marry him.
1:30.16 – 1:32.66 (2.5s)
27
The man is extremely rich and powerful, like a cold CEO who controls many companies.
1:32.16 – 1:38.66 (6.5s)
28
That sounds like the beginning of a disaster.
1:39.30 – 1:41.46 (2.2s)
29
That's what everyone thinks.
1:42.16 – 1:43.30 (1.1s)
30
People around her believe she will suffer after marrying him.
1:43.78 – 1:46.76 (3.0s)
31
Even she thinks this marriage will destroy her life.
1:47.30 – 1:50.08 (2.8s)
32
But I guess something unexpected happens after the wedding.
1:50.44 – 1:53.36 (2.9s)
33
Exactly.
1:54.14 – 1:54.32 (0.2s)
34
After they get married, she starts to notice something strange.
1:55.18 – 1:58.94 (3.8s)
35
What do you mean?
1:59.28 – 2:00.10 (0.8s)
36
The villain boss is not the same as in the original story.
2:00.52 – 2:03.64 (3.1s)
37
He doesn't hate her at all.
2:04.12 – 2:05.46 (1.3s)
38
In fact, he treats her quite well.
2:05.74 – 2:07.92 (2.2s)
39
Really?
2:08.34 – 2:08.60 (0.3s)
40
That's surprising.
2:08.16 – 2:09.78 (1.6s)
41
At first, he is just polite and gentle.
2:10.40 – 2:12.66 (2.3s)
42
He never forces her to do anything.
2:13.12 – 2:14.92 (1.8s)
43
And later?
2:15.52 – 2:16.06 (0.5s)
44
Later, things become even stranger.
2:16.78 – 2:19.06 (2.3s)
45
He begins to care about her meals, her health, and her daily life.
2:19.38 – 2:22.92 (3.5s)
46
That sounds more like a caring husband than a villain.
2:23.36 – 2:26.08 (2.7s)
47
Exactly.
2:26.76 – 2:27.04 (0.3s)
48
And he never allows anyone to bully her.
2:27.04 – 2:29.96 (2.9s)
49
He always stands on her side.
2:30.30 – 2:32.04 (1.7s)
50
Are there any dramatic scenes in the story?
2:32.34 – 2:34.40 (2.1s)
51
Yes, many.
2:35.06 – 2:35.94 (0.9s)
52
For example, one time some family members look down on her because they think she is not good enough for him.
2:35.52 – 2:41.80 (6.3s)
53
Let me guess.
2:42.30 – 2:43.00 (0.7s)
54
The boss protects her.
2:43.00 – 2:44.84 (1.8s)
55
Yes, he immediately says something like, if anyone touches my wife, you will regret it.
2:45.18 – 2:51.20 (6.0s)
56
Wow, after that, nobody dares to bully her anymore.
2:51.66 – 2:54.56 (2.9s)
57
Exactly.
2:55.36 – 2:55.68 (0.3s)
58
And there is another moment when another man tries to get close to her.
2:56.40 – 2:59.98 (3.6s)
59
Oh no, jealousy.
3:00.30 – 3:01.74 (1.4s)
60
Yes, the boss becomes very unhappy.
3:02.66 – 3:05.24 (2.6s)
61
He stops that man from approaching her and secretly warns him to stay away.
3:04.76 – 3:09.78 (5.0s)
62
So the villain boss is actually jealous.
3:10.34 – 3:12.74 (2.4s)
63
That's when the girl starts to realize something.
3:13.56 – 3:15.98 (2.4s)
64
Maybe this cold man is falling in love with her.
3:16.38 – 3:19.00 (2.6s)
65
Are there any dangerous situations too?
3:19.44 – 3:21.54 (2.1s)
66
Yes.
3:22.16 – 3:22.42 (0.3s)
67
One time the girl gets into serious trouble.
3:22.84 – 3:25.32 (2.5s)
68
Someone tries to harm her.
3:25.64 – 3:26.80 (1.2s)
69
What does the boss do?
3:27.24 – 3:28.36 (1.1s)
70
He uses his power to find the people behind the attack and punish them.
3:28.80 – 3:32.78 (4.0s)
71
But he doesn't tell her about it.
3:32.20 – 3:34.70 (2.5s)
72
So he protects her secretly?
3:35.20 – 3:36.82 (1.6s)
73
Exactly.
3:37.66 – 3:37.92 (0.3s)
74
Later, she discovers the truth and realizes he has always been protecting her from the shadows.
3:38.82 – 3:43.68 (4.9s)
75
At the beginning, she just wanted to stay safe, right?
3:44.38 – 3:47.06 (2.7s)
76
Yes, she only wanted to live peacefully and stay away from him.
3:47.62 – 3:51.24 (3.6s)
77
But that must change later.
3:51.56 – 3:53.24 (1.7s)
78
It does.
3:53.88 – 3:54.40 (0.5s)
79
After seeing how much he cares for her, her feelings slowly change.
3:54.98 – 3:58.82 (3.8s)
80
She begins to fall in love with him.
3:59.24 – 4:01.10 (1.9s)
81
Yes, and he always puts her first in everything.
4:01.58 – 4:04.58 (3.0s)
82
So their forced marriage slowly turns into real love.
4:05.46 – 4:08.68 (3.2s)
83
But the story also has many enemies.
4:09.26 – 4:11.80 (2.5s)
84
Like jealous people?
4:12.18 – 4:13.26 (1.1s)
85
Exactly.
4:14.04 – 4:14.32 (0.3s)
86
Some people hate her and try to destroy their relationship.
4:15.00 – 4:18.11 (3.1s)
87
Also, the boss has many business enemies.
4:17.83 – 4:21.13 (3.3s)
88
So trouble happens again and again.
4:21.45 – 4:24.09 (2.6s)
89
Yes, but every time something bad happens, the boss solves the problem and protects his wife.
4:23.83 – 4:30.57 (6.7s)
90
At that point, everyone realizes something.
4:30.67 – 4:33.45 (2.8s)
91
Yes, the boss may be cruel to the whole world, but he is extremely gentle with his wife.
4:33.15 – 4:39.33 (6.2s)
92
What happens at the climax of the story?
4:39.95 – 4:41.95 (2.0s)
93
Someone creates a dangerous plan to hurt the girl.
4:42.25 – 4:45.59 (3.3s)
94
The situation becomes very serious.
4:45.41 – 4:48.29 (2.9s)
95
And the boss becomes angry.
4:48.51 – 4:50.51 (2.0s)
96
Very angry.
4:50.95 – 4:52.13 (1.2s)
97
He uses all his power to find the person behind the plan and punish them.
4:51.99 – 4:56.81 (4.8s)
98
That must be a very intense moment.
4:56.99 – 4:59.53 (2.5s)
99
Yes, and that's when everyone understands his true personality.
4:59.79 – 5:04.03 (4.2s)
100
Cold to everyone else, but soft only for his wife.
5:04.29 – 5:08.35 (4.1s)
101
In the end, all the enemies are punished.
5:08.77 – 5:10.95 (2.2s)
102
And the couple finally become truly happy.
5:11.21 – 5:14.17 (3.0s)
103
Yes, their arranged marriage slowly turns into real love.
5:14.47 – 5:18.79 (4.3s)
104
And the villain boss changes, too.
5:18.79 – 5:21.41 (2.6s)
105
Exactly.
5:21.67 – 5:22.45 (0.8s)
106
He's no longer just a cold villain.
5:22.31 – 5:24.91 (2.6s)
107
He becomes a man who is completely devoted to his wife.
5:24.79 – 5:28.51 (3.7s)
108
So the scary villain boss becomes a wife-obsessed husband.
5:28.63 – 5:33.31 (4.7s)
109
Yes, that's the best way to describe the ending.
5:32.95 – 5:36.59 (3.6s)
110
I understand why you said the story was interesting.
5:36.89 – 5:39.27 (2.4s)
111
It has drama, danger, and romance at the same time.
5:39.55 – 5:42.81 (3.3s)
112
Exactly.
5:43.29 – 5:43.51 (0.2s)
113
That's why people love stories like this.
5:43.51 – 5:46.13 (2.6s)
114

120
At the beginning, the girl is just a normal person living in the modern world.
6:04.63 – 6:08.67 (4.0s)
121
One day, she reads a novel about a very cruel and dangerous villain boss.
6:09.05 – 6:13.63 (4.6s)
122
Let me guess.
6:14.11 – 6:14.83 (0.7s)
123

That already sounds scary.
6:37.15 – 6:38.67 (1.5s)
131
What happens to her in the story?
6:38.67 – 6:40.61 (1.9s)
132
According to the original plot, her family forces her to marry the villain boss.
6:41.35 – 6:45.99 (4.6s)
133
This man is famous for being cold, powerful, and very cruel in business.
6:46.49 – 6:50.97 (4.5s)
134
So everyone thinks her life will become terrible after the marriage?
6:51.69 – 6:55.53 (3.8s)
135
Yes, even the girl herself thinks her life will become a nightmare.
6:55.97 – 6:59.71 (3.7s)
136
She already knows the future, so she is very afraid.
6:59.69 – 7:03.27 (3.6s)
137
So she still has to marry him in the end?
7:03.41 – 7:06.35 (2.9s)
138
Yes, her family forces her to marry him.
7:06.63 – 7:09.43 (2.8s)

144
But I guess something unexpected happens after the wedding.
7:26.99 – 7:30.21 (3.2s)

150

7:41.99 – 7:44.67 (2.7s)
151
Really?
7:44.79 – 7:45.47 (0.7s)
152
That's surprising.
7:45.35 – 7:46.65 (1.3s)
153
At first, he is just polite and gentle.
7:46.35 – 7:49.53 (3.2s)
154
He never forces her to do anything.
7:49.41 – 7:51.75 (2.3s)

156
Later, things become even stranger.
7:53.39 – 7:55.69 (2.3s)
157
He begins to care about her meals, her health, and her daily life.
7:56.01 – 7:59.59 (3.6s)
158
That sounds more like a caring husband than a villain.
7:59.97 – 8:02.71 (2.7s)
159
Exactly.
8:03.43 – 8:03.63 (0.2s)
160
And he never allows anyone to bully her.
8:04.05 – 8:06.59 (2.5s)
161
He always stands on her side.
8:06.87 – 8:08.67 (1.8s)

For example, one time some family members look down on her because they think she is not good enough for him.
8:12.13 – 8:18.41 (6.3s)
165
Let me guess, the boss protects her.
8:18.93 – 8:21.19 (2.3s)
166
Yes, he immediately says something like, if anyone touches my wife, you will regret it.
8:21.81 – 8:27.83 (6.0s)
167
Wow, after that, nobody dares to bully her anymore.
8:28.27 – 8:31.62 (3.4s)
168
Exactly.
8:31.62 – 8:32.26 (0.6s)
169
And there is another moment when another man tries to get close to her.
8:32.26 – 8:36.74 (4.5s)
170
Oh no, jealousy.
8:36.74 – 8:38.86 (2.1s)
171
Yes, the boss becomes very unhappy.
8:38.86 – 8:42.14 (3.3s)
172
He stops that man from approaching her and secretly warns him to stay away.
8:42.14 – 8:46.40 (4.3s)
173
So the villain boss is actually jealous.
8:46.40 – 8:49.96 (3.6s)
174
That's when the girl starts to realize something.
8:49.96 – 8:52.68 (2.7s)
175
Maybe this cold man is falling in love with her.
8:52.68 – 8:55.80 (3.1s)
176
Are there any dangerous situations too?
8:55.80 – 8:58.38 (2.6s)
177
Yes.
8:58.86 – 8:59.52 (0.7s)
178
One time, the girl gets into serious trouble.
8:59.52 – 9:01.98 (2.5s)
179
Someone tries to harm her.
9:01.98 – 9:03.64 (1.7s)
180
What does the boss do?
9:03.96 – 9:05.14 (1.2s)
181
He uses his power to find the people behind the attack and punish them, but he doesn't tell her about it.
9:05.14 – 9:11.42 (6.3s)
182
So he protects her secretly?
9:11.26 – 9:13.84 (2.6s)
183
Exactly.
9:13.84 – 9:15.24 (1.4s)
184
Later, she discovers the truth and realizes he has always been protecting her from the shadows.
9:15.24 – 9:20.70 (5.5s)
185
At the beginning, she just wanted to stay safe, right?
9:21.00 – 9:23.90 (2.9s)
186
Yes, she only wanted to live peacefully and stay away from him.
9:24.30 – 9:27.98 (3.7s)
187
But that must change later.
9:28.30 – 9:29.90 (1.6s)
188
It does.
9:30.56 – 9:31.06 (0.5s)
189
After seeing how much he cares for her, her feelings slowly change.
9:31.64 – 9:35.50 (3.9s)
190
She begins to fall in love with him.
9:35.86 – 9:37.70 (1.8s)
191
Yes, and he always puts her first in everything.
9:38.24 – 9:41.30 (3.1s)
192
So their forced marriage slowly turns into real love.
9:42.06 – 9:45.36 (3.3s)
193
But the story also has many enemies.
9:45.92 – 9:48.08 (2.2s)
194
Like jealous people?
9:48.84 – 9:49.94 (1.1s)
195
Exactly.
9:50.64 – 9:51.58 (0.9s)
196
Some people hate her and try to destroy their relationship.
9:51.58 – 9:54.94 (3.4s)
197
Also, the boss has many business enemies.
9:55.24 – 9:57.54 (2.3s)
198
So trouble happens again and again.
9:58.34 – 10:00.46 (2.1s)
199
Yes, but every time something bad happens, the boss solves the problem and protects his wife.
10:01.28 – 10:06.92 (5.6s)
200
At that point, everyone realizes something.
10:07.48 – 10:09.84 (2.4s)
201
Yes, the boss may be cruel to the whole world, but he is extremely gentle with his wife.
10:10.52 – 10:15.84 (5.3s)
202
What happens at the climax of the story?
10:16.46 – 10:18.44 (2.0s)
203
Someone creates a dangerous plan to hurt the girl.
10:19.12 – 10:22.32 (3.2s)
204
The situation becomes very serious.
10:22.52 – 10:24.94 (2.4s)
205
And the boss becomes angry.
10:25.30 – 10:26.96 (1.7s)
206
Very angry.
10:27.80 – 10:28.64 (0.8s)
207
He uses all his power to find the person behind the plan and punish them.
10:29.12 – 10:33.38 (4.3s)
208
That must be a very intense moment.
10:33.74 – 10:36.00 (2.3s)
209
Yes, and that's when everyone understands his true personality.
10:36.70 – 10:40.48 (3.8s)
210
Cold to everyone else, but soft only for his wife.
10:41.12 – 10:44.82 (3.7s)
211
In the end, all the enemies are punished.
10:45.36 – 10:47.36 (2.0s)
212
And the couple finally become truly happy.
10:48.02 – 10:50.88 (2.9s)
213
Yes, their arranged marriage slowly turns into real love.
10:51.22 – 10:55.44 (4.2s)
214
And the villain boss changes, too.
10:55.80 – 10:58.20 (2.4s)
215
Exactly.
10:58.48 – 10:58.84 (0.4s)
216
He's no longer just a cold villain.
10:58.84 – 11:01.42 (2.6s)
217
He becomes a man who is completely devoted to his wife.
11:01.42 – 11:04.98 (3.6s)
218
So the scary villain boss becomes a wife-obsessed husband.
11:05.66 – 11:09.68 (4.0s)
219
Yes, that's the best way to describe the ending.
11:10.40 – 11:13.08 (2.7s)
220
I understand why you said the story was interesting.
11:13.66 – 11:16.22 (2.6s)
221
It has drama, danger, and romance at the same time.
11:16.22 – 11:19.54 (3.3s)
222
Exactly.
11:20.02 – 11:20.72 (0.7s)
223
That's why people love stories like this.
11:20.72 – 11:22.90 (2.2s)
224
Anna, yesterday I saw a very interesting story online.
11:27.52 – 11:30.92 (3.4s)
225
It's about a girl who suddenly enters a novel.
11:30.92 – 11:34.30 (3.4s)
226
Have you heard stories like that before?
11:34.30 – 11:36.34 (2.0s)
227
Yes.
11:36.98 – 11:37.30 (0.3s)
228
Those stories are very popular now.
11:37.30 – 11:39.68 (2.4s)
229
What happens in this one?
11:39.68 – 11:40.88 (1.2s)
230
At the beginning, the girl is just a normal person living in the modern world.
11:41.36 – 11:45.38 (4.0s)
231
One day, she reads a novel about a very cruel and dangerous villain boss.
11:45.78 – 11:50.34 (4.6s)
232
Let me guess.
11:50.86 – 11:51.64 (0.8s)
233
Something strange happens and she enters that novel, right?
11:51.64 – 11:55.04 (3.4s)
234
Exactly.
11:55.86 – 11:56.12 (0.3s)
235
After an accident, she wakes up inside the story.
11:56.12 – 11:59.84 (3.7s)
236
But the problem is that she is not the main character of the novel.
12:00.32 – 12:03.74 (3.4s)
237
Oh, no.
12:04.20 – 12:04.70 (0.5s)
238
Then who is she in the story?
12:04.70 – 12:06.82 (2.1s)
239
She becomes a side character, and in the original story, that character has a very tragic ending.
12:07.44 – 12:13.52 (6.1s)
240
That already sounds scary.
12:13.88 – 12:15.40 (1.5s)
241
What happens to her in the story?
12:15.40 – 12:17.56 (2.2s)
242
According to the original plot, her family forces her to marry the villain boss.
12:18.06 – 12:22.84 (4.8s)
243
This man is famous for being cold, powerful, and very cruel in business.
12:23.24 – 12:27.92 (4.7s)
244
So everyone thinks her life will become terrible after the marriage?
12:28.38 – 12:32.24 (3.9s)
245
Yes, even the girl herself thinks her life will become a nightmare.
12:32.68 – 12:36.50 (3.8s)
246
She already knows the future, so she is very afraid.
12:36.42 – 12:40.10 (3.7s)
247
So she still has to marry him in the end?
12:40.10 – 12:43.08 (3.0s)
248
Yes, her family forces her to marry him.
12:43.38 – 12:46.14 (2.8s)
249
The man is extremely rich and powerful, like a cold CEO who controls many companies.
12:46.31 – 12:51.99 (5.7s)
250
That sounds like the beginning of a disaster.
12:51.99 – 12:55.13 (3.1s)
251
That's what everyone thinks.
12:55.13 – 12:56.79 (1.7s)
252
People around her believe she will suffer after marrying him.
12:56.79 – 13:00.49 (3.7s)
253
Even she thinks this marriage will destroy her life.
13:00.49 – 13:03.43 (2.9s)
254
But I guess something unexpected happens after the wedding.
13:03.43 – 13:06.93 (3.5s)
255
Exactly.
13:06.93 – 13:08.17 (1.2s)
256
After they get married, she starts to notice something strange.
13:08.17 – 13:12.27 (4.1s)
257
What do you mean?
13:12.65 – 13:13.51 (0.9s)
258
The villain boss is not the same as in the original story.
13:13.51 – 13:16.95 (3.4s)
259
He doesn't hate her at all.
13:17.53 – 13:18.99 (1.5s)
260
In fact, he treats her quite well.
13:18.99 – 13:21.35 (2.4s)
261
Really?
13:21.65 – 13:21.97 (0.3s)
262
That's surprising.
13:21.97 – 13:23.03 (1.1s)
263
At first, he is just polite and gentle.
13:23.03 – 13:26.27 (3.2s)
264
He never forces her to do anything.
13:25.51 – 13:28.43 (2.9s)
265
And later?
13:28.43 – 13:29.39 (1.0s)
266
Later, things become even stranger.
13:30.07 – 13:32.13 (2.1s)
267
He begins to care about her meals, her health and her daily life.
13:32.13 – 13:36.29 (4.2s)
268
That sounds more like a caring husband than a villain.
13:36.67 – 13:39.41 (2.7s)
269
Exactly.
13:40.13 – 13:40.33 (0.2s)
270
And he never allows anyone to bully her.
13:41.03 – 13:43.29 (2.3s)
271
He always stands on her side.
13:43.61 – 13:45.35 (1.7s)
272
Are there any dramatic scenes in the story?
13:45.67 – 13:47.73 (2.1s)
273
Yes, many.
13:48.41 – 13:49.29 (0.9s)
274
For example, one time some family members look down on her because they think she is not good enough for him.
13:49.77 – 13:55.13 (5.4s)
275
Let me guess, the boss protects her.
13:55.69 – 13:57.93 (2.2s)
276
Yes, he immediately says something like, If anyone touches my wife, you will regret it.
13:58.49 – 14:04.57 (6.1s)
277
Wow.
14:04.97 – 14:05.53 (0.6s)
278
After that, nobody dares to bully her anymore.
14:05.53 – 14:07.91 (2.4s)
279
Exactly.
14:08.69 – 14:08.97 (0.3s)
280
And there is another moment when another man tries to get close to her.
14:08.97 – 14:13.15 (4.2s)
281
Oh no.
14:13.63 – 14:14.35 (0.7s)
282
Jealousy.
14:14.35 – 14:15.39 (1.0s)
283
Yes.
14:15.95 – 14:16.29 (0.3s)
284
The boss becomes very unhappy.
14:16.29 – 14:18.55 (2.3s)
285
He stops that man from approaching her and secretly warns him to stay away.
14:18.55 – 14:23.05 (4.5s)
286
So the villain boss is actually jealous.
14:23.69 – 14:26.07 (2.4s)
287
That's when the girl starts to realize something.
14:26.89 – 14:29.03 (2.1s)
288
Maybe this cold man is falling in love with her.
14:29.73 – 14:32.33 (2.6s)
289
Are there any dangerous situations too?
14:32.79 – 14:34.85 (2.1s)
290
Yes.
14:35.47 – 14:36.03 (0.6s)
291
One time the girl gets into serious trouble.
14:36.15 – 14:38.65 (2.5s)
292
Someone tries to harm her.
14:38.95 – 14:40.29 (1.3s)
293
What does the boss do?
14:40.57 – 14:41.77 (1.2s)
294
He uses his power to find the people behind the attack and punish them.
14:42.13 – 14:46.09 (4.0s)
295
But he doesn't tell her about it.
14:46.33 – 14:47.93 (1.6s)
296
So he protects her secretly.
14:48.49 – 14:50.07 (1.6s)
297
Exactly.
14:50.97 – 14:51.23 (0.3s)
298
Later, she discovers the truth and realizes he has always been protecting her from the shadows.
14:52.15 – 14:57.01 (4.9s)
299
At the beginning, she just wanted to stay safe, right?
14:57.79 – 15:00.61 (2.8s)
300
Yes, she only wanted to live peacefully and stay away from him.
15:00.93 – 15:04.63 (3.7s)
301
But that must change later.
15:04.97 – 15:06.59 (1.6s)
302
It does.
15:07.21 – 15:07.69 (0.5s)
303
After seeing how much he cares for her, her feelings slowly change.
15:07.69 – 15:12.11 (4.4s)
304
She begins to fall in love with him.
15:12.55 – 15:14.41 (1.9s)
305
Yes, and he always puts her first in everything.
15:14.91 – 15:17.95 (3.0s)
306
So their forced marriage slowly turns into real love.
15:18.75 – 15:22.03 (3.3s)
307
But the story also has many enemies.
15:22.57 – 15:24.73 (2.2s)
308
Like jealous people?
15:25.49 – 15:27.03 (1.5s)
309
Exactly.
15:27.33 – 15:28.05 (0.7s)
310
Some people hate her and try to destroy their relationship.
15:28.05 – 15:31.55 (3.5s)
311
Also, the boss has many business enemies.
15:31.55 – 15:34.27 (2.7s)
312
So trouble happens again and again.
15:34.99 – 15:37.11 (2.1s)
313
Yes, but every time something bad happens, the boss solves the problem and protects his wife.
15:37.93 – 15:43.77 (5.8s)
314
At that point, everyone realizes something.
15:44.15 – 15:46.49 (2.3s)
315
Yes, the boss may be cruel to the whole world, but he is extremely gentle with his wife.
15:47.19 – 15:52.67 (5.5s)
316
What happens at the climax of the story?
15:53.09 – 15:55.11 (2.0s)
317
Someone creates a dangerous plan to hurt the girl.
15:55.77 – 15:58.97 (3.2s)
318
The situation becomes very serious.
15:59.17 – 16:01.33 (2.2s)
319
And the boss becomes angry.
16:01.95 – 16:03.63 (1.7s)
320
Very angry.
16:04.47 – 16:05.31 (0.8s)
321
He uses all his power to find the person behind the plan and punish them.
16:05.77 – 16:10.03 (4.3s)
322
That must be a very intense moment.
16:10.39 – 16:12.65 (2.3s)
323
Yes, and that's when everyone understands his true personality.
16:13.35 – 16:17.15 (3.8s)
324
Cold to everyone else, but soft only for his wife.
16:17.77 – 16:21.47 (3.7s)
325
In the end, all the enemies are punished.
16:22.01 – 16:24.01 (2.0s)
326
And the couple finally become truly happy.
16:24.69 – 16:27.53 (2.8s)
327
Yes, their arranged marriage slowly turns into real love.
16:27.89 – 16:32.09 (4.2s)
328
And the villain boss changes, too.
16:32.45 – 16:34.85 (2.4s)
329
Exactly.
16:35.15 – 16:35.49 (0.3s)
330
He's no longer just a cold villain.
16:35.49 – 16:38.07 (2.6s)
331
He becomes a man who is completely devoted to his wife.
16:38.07 – 16:41.63 (3.6s)
332
So the scary villain boss becomes a wife-obsessed husband.
16:42.25 – 16:46.33 (4.1s)
333
Yes, that's the best way to describe the ending.
16:47.05 – 16:49.75 (2.7s)
334
I understand why you said the story was interesting.
16:50.37 – 16:52.87 (2.5s)
335
It has drama, danger, and romance at the same time.
16:52.87 – 16:56.19 (3.3s)
336
Exactly.
16:56.67 – 16:56.93 (0.3s)
337
That's why people love stories like this.
16:56.93 – 16:59.51 (2.6s)

Practice Tips

To maximize your learning experience from this lesson, consider applying the shadowing technique as you watch the video. Start by listening to the audio without pausing, focusing on understanding the content. Next, play the video again and try to shadow speak along with the dialogue. Pay close attention to the speed and tone of the speakers; they maintain a conversational rhythm that can help you improve English pronunciation.

Here are some tips for effective shadowing:

  • Start Slow: If you're struggling, reduce the playback speed. This will allow you to catch every word before gradually increasing the speed to the normal pace.
  • Focus on Phrasing: Notice how phrases are connected. This will help you mimic the natural flow of English speech.
  • Repeat Sections: If a particular part is challenging, don't hesitate to replay it multiple times.
  • Record Yourself: After shadowing, record your voice to compare your pronunciation with the original. This will help you identify areas for improvement.
  • Engage with the Content: As you learn English with YouTube, reflect on the story and its characters to deepen your comprehension. Discussing the plot with fellow learners can also boost your speaking confidence.

Using these methods, you will further develop your listening abilities while enhancing your speaking skills through shadow speech. Enjoy your practice!

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.

How to Practice Effectively on ShadowingEnglish

  1. Choose your video: Pick a YouTube video with clear, natural English speech. TED Talks, BBC News, movie scenes, podcasts, or IELTS sample answers all work great. Paste the URL into the search bar. Start with shorter videos (under 5 minutes) and content you find genuinely interesting — motivation matters.
  2. Listen first, understand the context: On your first pass, keep the speed at 1x and just listen. Don't try to repeat yet. Focus on understanding the meaning, picking up new vocabulary, and noticing how the speaker stresses words, links sounds, and uses pauses.
  3. Set up Shadowing mode:
    • Wait Mode: Choose +3s or +5s — after each sentence plays, the video pauses automatically so you have time to repeat it out loud. Choose Manual if you want full control and press Next yourself after each repetition.
    • Sub Sync: YouTube subtitles sometimes appear slightly ahead or behind the audio. Use ±100ms to align them perfectly so you can follow along accurately.
  4. Shadow out loud (the core practice): This is where the real work happens. As soon as a sentence plays — or during the pause — repeat it out loud, clearly and confidently. Don't just mouth the words: mirror the speaker's exact rhythm, stress, pitch, and connected speech. Aim to sound like a shadow of the speaker, not just a word-by-word recitation. Use the Repeat feature to drill the same sentence multiple times until it feels natural.
  5. Scale up the challenge: Once a passage feels comfortable, push your limits. Increase speed to <code>1.25x</code> or even <code>1.5x</code> to train high-speed language reflexes. Or set Wait Mode to <code>Off</code> for continuous shadowing — the most advanced and rewarding mode. Consistent daily practice of 15–30 minutes will produce noticeable results within weeks.
