Agree, dubbing is so distracting[/quote]
I'm Korean American.  My Korean isn't that great, so I watch it with the subtitles, but I know enough to know that the translation as a whole is terrible.    It can change the nuance of the entire dialogue.

I've read a lot of complaints about Netflix's subtitles. For shows that are also on Viki, I watch there. They are fan subbed and supposed to be much better at conveying nuances and pointing out helpful cultural info.

There is a recent kdrama called Run On, in which the female lead is a subtitler/translator. There is some really interesting dialogue where she talks about the process of how chooses to interpret something and the word choices she makes. In one scene she is writing subtitles for a 20 year old movie because language naturally evolves and the subs need updating. [/quote]
