Are these sentences correct? What do they mean?
Good morning/night or afternoon too!

I was reading a webnovel (Korean), and ran into two sentences with expressions or words which I couldn't understand its meaning in the context involved. Are these two right?

I) "I though Ji Eorin better than I thought".
II) "I rushed over so as not to miss him".

Also, if accurated what does "though" means in that construction? The same for "so as not".

II) "I rushed over so as not to miss him".

Also, if accurated what does "though" means in that construction? The same for "so as not".

Answer

I) "I though Ji Eorin better than I thought"  
'Though' makes no sense here.  There is a mistake in the English in this translation.

II) "I rushed over so as not to miss him".
This is correct. It means that I rushed over (I rushed to a particular place) in order not to miss him.  I didn't want to miss him, so I rushed over to where he was.  
'so as not to' = para não

Answer

The first sentence is not a correct one. Unfortunately, without context, I can't speculate on what meaning was intended by "though" or the other words.

The second sentence works. The meaning is that the person speaking in the sentence is concerned that if he or she does not hurry, the person whom they wish to see may no longer be at that location.
