Hangul can be learned pretty quickly (I did it in a day figuring out myself how they were put together and the categories etc). The problem though is that Korean/Hangul isn't phonetic and the writing system doesn't match modern Korean very well. In my Korean text there are about 20 pages of exceptions and rules for how to properly read hangul.

It's like Japanese rendaku x 1000.

Do you have any examples of such exceptions? The only ones I know of are when two consonant-signs are together at the bottom which gives a small tsu kind of pause instead of being pronounced.

From my experience, hangul is pretty much exact in its phonetics.
