Long explanation:
'~았/었으면 좋겠다 [at/eosseumyeon joketda]' is a Korean grammar form used to express a wish or hoping for a certain event or situation to happen. This grammar structure combines past tense verb endings with the conditional '면' and '좋겠다' which means 'hope'. The nuance is similar to saying 'I wish' or 'I hope' in English wherein you hope for something that, while not currently true, you desire it to be or become so.
