Confusing uses of 하는 걸/하는 듯 What does it mean when some (seemingly) random 하는 걸 pop somewhere? as in "그대와 나의 눈빛이 말해주는 걸" "나는요 오빠가 좋은걸" about 듯: I learned it as meaning as if (eg. 모르는 듯 아무 말도 안했어) but it seems like it has different meanings like "그게 더 괜찮은 듯" I've been having these doubts for a while :-( Please answer me!

~하는 걸 is same as ~하는 것을 which is used to encapsulate a pre-position into an object. for example, if you want to say you like to drink water you can first construct the action : 물을 마시다. remove the 다 and add ~는 걸 to transform your action into an action-noun as : 물을 마시는 걸 (the action of drinking water). and finally you can add some verb or even make more complexe sentence and encapsulate more actions into sub-noun sentences. Here's a finalized sentence : 물을 마시는 걸 아주 좋다 (I really like to drink water). Hope it helped.
