Speaking with my Korean Parents

I’m Korean-American, my parents moved from Korea when they were teens.

So if I’m talking about something with my parents, like let’s say something random like a new pho restaurant. And then a couple sentences later, while we have talked about nothing else, I’ll very logically say, “want to go there sometime?”. The response will almost certainly be “where?”. And I’ll say “the pho restaurant” and they’ll say “what pho restaurant?” Bro the pho restaurant we’ve been talking about for the past five minutes!

But then they’ll be telling me a story about something funny that happened with their golf friends and they’ll use he/she maybe 20 times switching back and forth who he and she is between 5 different people and I have no idea what the hell they’re talking about. Or they completely change the person they’re talking about mid conversation but not let me know. They’re very ambiguous, and I always have to guess if they mean this or that. Im used to it and can live with it but then why cant they understand me when I stay on topic and don’t change the subject and say he/she/there? If we’re talking about a new pho restaurant then why can’t they understand “do you want to go there sometime?” to mean the pho restaurant? All the while they expect me to follow an impossible conversation where he or she can mean 5 different people. Do Koreans not understand context the way Americans do?
