Question

날 좋아해주면 기뻐/ 날 좋아하면 기뻐 is there a different nuance?
I understand the meaning but does the 주  make a difference to the nuance of the sentence?

Answer

The first expression (with -해 주다) sounds that there is more special relationship between the teller and listener than the second one.
"~해 주다" means somebody does it and it affects to the other.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer

I feel when one use 주다, it becomes a little softer, or expressing "for my sake".
