Also spelled ryodon

Was about to, was going to

It describes an action someone was on the point of doing and attaches it to a noun or to 거: the road they were about to take, the person he was planning to marry, what I was going to say today. Usually the thing did not happen, which is why captions use it for moments like just when everyone was about to give up. It is the past-modifying form of 으려고 하다.

Register: neutral; extremely common in show captions
