wait like this; wait that long

-게 in front of 기다리다 gives either the manner or the amount of waiting: 한 시간 넘게 기다렸는데 'I waited over an hour', 40분, 50분 되게 기다리셨네요 'you waited a good 40 or 50 minutes', 매운 맛이 서서히 가시게 기다려요 'wait for the heat to fade gradually'. Note the passive 기다려지다 in the first line, which means 'be looked forward to' — 점심시간이 그렇게 기다려지지 않아요 'I don't find myself looking forward to lunch much'.
