What Koreans really mean
In Korean culture, direct assertions about another person's feelings or strong opinions are often softened to maintain harmony and avoid putting someone on the spot. '-는 것 같아' (seems like) is a common way to express an observation or a guess gently, indicating that it's the speaker's inference rather than a definitive statement.
