Yes, that was me. How is the show so far?
I've downloaded a few other shows she's in too, but it'll probably be a while before I get around to watching them.
I started picrel yesterday, episode 1 was pretty good but a bit of a mess.

Show is called My Girl. It's a bit "older" at this point but it's good. Drags perhaps ever so slightly after the 10 episode mark, but that applies to most shows.

Not saying he was particularly good in that role either, but it's the only role where the emotionless retard stare he has 24/7 kinda matches the character.

>>207182972
what's the plot?

>>207183080
The story follows Izuku Midoriya, a boy born without superpowers in a world where they are the norm, but who still dreams of becoming a superhero himself, and is scouted by the world's greatest hero, All Might, who shares his powers with Izuku after recognizing his value and enrolls him in a prestigious high school for superheroes in training.

>>207183080
Freshly graduated doctor Mi Ka was at a jewellery store to purchase a gift for her parents when a jewel heist by armed robbers occurred. A special SWAT team was deployed to take control of the situation and this was how Mi Ka met Special Forces Captain Xing Ke Lei when he helped diffuse an explosive situation. However, because Xing Ke Lei was in full combat uniform and had his face masked, she did not know what he looked like.

A few years later, when finalising her qualifications to be a full medical surgeon, Mi Ka decides to participate in a joint emergency rescue training exercise between her hospital & the police SWAT team and she unknowingly meets Captain Xing Ke Lei again. A relationship between them begins and eventually develops as they grow to learn more about each other and as they encounter various military and medical situations in future.

Its not capitalism because what ever ism a country says it is the social caste system is feudal. Top guy, guys that fight (mostly weapons pointed at their own people), guys that administer and collect tax and rich guys that sell stuff to get foreign exchange and then 99% are serfs. It doesn't matter if you are at top or bottom in North or South Korea or China or where ever your life experience and perception of reality is the same. Now in europe you had the Catholic Church get their cut while assisting a king keep the masses in line but in most of north asia for 2000 years Confucius and his disciples did the heavy lifting.

You do not get to claim tae-ri for your male sexual fantasies. She is fast becoming a queer asian icon. You can't believe its easy to take on female roles that strongly suggest the character is a lesbian in SK and be typecast as lesbian and yet tae-ri continues to do so. In interviews even she admits in a traditional romance between a man and women she more often than not does not go off into the sunset with him. Point is she is a queer pin up girl and she a boss girl

I agree, but I have to say that Avistaz has served me well so far. Even with these older, lesser known shows.
There were maybe only a handful of shows that I couldn't find at all/didn't have English subtitles in some form.

aigoo, korean words shouldn't be in english subtitles, it's that simple. if someone has to take their phone out and google the meaning of a korean word, they're not doing the job they're paid to translating. we can all hear words like oppa and know what it means after you'#ve watched enough korean stuff yeah, but I really don't know why it makes koreaboos so hard if they see it in the subtitles, or mad if they don't.

>>207214333
People have to learn terminology all the time for various niche interests. Should all subtitles be written at a 6th grade reading level because if they aren't people might now know what certain words mean?

>Should all subtitles be written at a 6th grade reading level because if they aren't people might now know what certain words mean?
nobody said that, don't be a retard, words from other languages should be translated, because that's what the people translating are paid to do, you just don't want them to because koreaboo autism, and can see words like oppa, unnie, ajusshi etc. on screen and bounce up and down.

>>207213737
if someone is translating/localising a movie or tv show they can't assume the person watching it is already steeped in media from that country and knows words from the language and leave them untranslated. I don't understand why anyone would expect that.

I don't think she got him into drugs and hookers, would be kind of based if she did, killing yourself when you have kids is a massive bitch move, I'm waiting for my parents to die before I do it so they dont' blame themselves, doing it to kids is insane. he fucked up.

Loss of Cultural Context

1. Cultural Significance: Words like oppa and hyung carry nuanced meanings beyond their literal translations. They convey relationships, emotional closeness, or social hierarchies, which are central to Korean culture. Replacing them with names removes this layer of understanding for the audience.


2. Immersion: Keeping terms like oppa or hyung maintains the authenticity of the setting. For viewers seeking cultural immersion, overly localized translations can detract from the storytelling experience.


3. Subtle Dynamics: Korean honorifics often hint at characters' personalities and relationships in ways that are lost in direct name replacements. For example, a younger character using hyung instead of a name signals respect, which may be crucial to understanding their dynamic.

>>207215311
Impact on Narrative and Nuance

1. Flattening of Meaning: Localizing beyond a certain point can oversimplify or misrepresent the original script's intention. For example, a character calling someone oppa could signal affection or dependency, which might not come across if replaced with the person's name.


2. Misaligned Tone: Translations aiming for universal relatability may strip dialogue of its original tone or subtlety. A phrase intended to feel awkward or formal in Korean might come off as casual in English if overly localized.
Audience Sophistication

1. Global Viewers Are More Savvy: With the rise of international streaming platforms, audiences are becoming more familiar with foreign cultural concepts. Many viewers expect and appreciate a degree of authenticity, even if it requires learning a few foreign terms.


2. Educational Value: Leaving culturally significant words untranslated can educate viewers about Korean culture. This knowledge enriches the viewing experience and fosters cross-cultural understanding.

>>207215188
no current year kdramas are saying anything as retarded as rice is donuts, if you have to go back to an episode of pokemon from nearly 30 years ago you know you don't have a point.

>>207215338
Precedents in Subtitling

1. Japanese and Chinese Media: Many translations of Japanese anime or Chinese dramas leave terms like senpai, gege, or laoban intact because they are integral to the culture and story. Korean media deserves the same treatment.


2. Successful Exceptions: Productions like Squid Game received backlash for poor localization but also sparked discussions about the value of literal translations. These debates highlight the importance of retaining cultural nuance.

While simplifying translations can make content more accessible to casual viewers, over-localization risks alienating those who value cultural authenticity. A better approach would be to retain key terms like oppa and hyung while using footnotes, in-app glossaries, or context clues to aid understanding. This respects the source material and caters to a growing global audience eager to engage with Korean culture authentically.

what argument? translations should leave things untranslated? that's not an argument, it's retarded.

>>207215805
Yes, otherwise meaning gets lost in translation. It's long been common for book translations to leave some words in the original language and with a footnote to explain the meaning because there's no one word equivalent in English.

>>207215879
you should probably just go learn korean, instead of expecting translators to not do their jobs for the few random words you unbderstand, at the expense of general audiences.

>>207216035
Or they should just not sacrifice meaning in their translation for the retarded or lazy few that can't infer the meaning of a new word or two by context or look it up on their phone.

Toxic Gatekeeping in Dismissals

Gatekeeping Arguments: Labeling concerns as "koreaboo autism" attempts to dismiss and belittle those engaging critically with media. It’s an unproductive way to silence discourse rather than addressing the actual arguments.

Neurodivergent Dismissal: Using "autism" as a pejorative is ableist and distracts from the legitimacy of the concerns. People who engage deeply with their interests—whether neurodivergent or not—shouldn’t be shamed for doing so.
