며

'While / hoping…', in closing captions

-며 joins two things happening at once, or trails a sentence off on a wish. Nearly every line here is a closing caption built on 바라며 or 기다리며 — 조금이라도 도움이 되기를 바라며... 'hoping it helps at least a little...' — where the ending deliberately leaves the sentence unfinished. Its near neighbour -면서 covers the same simultaneous sense in ordinary speech; one line here is a grammar lesson contrasting 며, 면서 and 고.
