Kprean sign language trivia
we are watching the Tagalog dubbed version of the hit K Drama Twinkling Watermelon, which like many K dramas is about the coming of age story, an aspiring musician, family stresses, young love, and with a twist: The protagonist is a CODA, a child of deaf parents.

Ironically, ASL is also not the same as British Sign Language, but closer to French Sign language because the first teachers came from there.

this article summarizes some of the nuances.
