Significado
Emphasizes a strong positive feeling or approval towards something.
Contexto cultural
In Korea, giving a 'big reaction' (리액션) is a sign of respect and social intelligence. Using '너무 좋아요' shows you are paying attention and are pleased. Fans use this phrase constantly on social media (Twitter/Weverse) to support their idols' new releases. Koreans often use 'tildes' (~) or extra vowels to make the phrase sound softer and friendlier in texts. Older Koreans might still occasionally feel '너무' should only be negative, but they will understand your positive meaning perfectly.
The 'H' is Silent
In '좋아요', the 'ㅎ' sound disappears. Don't say 'joh-ha-yo', say 'jo-a-yo'.
Agreement Hack
If someone suggests something and you don't know what to say, just smile and say '너무 좋아요!'—it's always a safe, positive answer.

Aegyo (Cute) Version
In texts, write it as '너무 조아용' to sound extra friendly or cute with friends.
Don't use with 'People'
To say 'I like you' to a crush, use '좋아해요'. '너무 좋아요' sounds like you are praising their character, not expressing romantic interest.
