someone who knows korean can tell me if i'm mistaken but i think instead of making the l sound against the teeth, they make it on the top of the mouth, with their mouth similarly shaped to an r sound.

Yeah I think we need Koreans here...
As far as I know, if the character 'L' is at the beginning of a syllable, it is pronounced as 'R', but if it is in the middle or end, it is pronounced as 'L'.
Same goes for their 'P', I think if it is in the beginning, it is still 'P', but if not, it is 'B' (I might be wrong).
And the same goes for their placeholder (the one that looks like a capital O), they can't start syllables with vowels so they out it in there but it is pronounced silently. But if it finds itself at the end of a syllable, it is pronounced as -ng (look at FlaSh's and nal_rA's name.)
