[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree. Netflix does this with all of its Korean shows. [b]Just watched one this evening where the subtitles changed "sunbae" to the person's name[/b], and "one shot" which is literally spoken in English to "bottoms up." It does lose something. [/quote] I have noticed this a lot as well. I guess I have some sympathy for the people who create the subtitles because the whole sunbae/hoobae thing doesn't exist in English speaking cultures, so there is no way to translate it succinctly in a subtitle. Many of us who've discovered and love Kdramas have subsequently spent some time learning about Korean language and culture and can now recognize those words when we hear them.[/quote]
