Hello. I love your blog, WhyRU is getting me through the lockdown. I should be writing my thesis but I've watched ep9 5 times. Oops. I'm a bit obsessed with Tutor & Fighter. You mentioned some other inaccurate subs. Any more in ep9? Some of the hot tub dialogue felt weird (may be euphemisms or editing tho!) Can you tell us more examples? Don't get me wrong I am v grateful to the amazing WRU team for immediately releasing with Eng subs, I just sometimes feel I dont understand the nuance! Thanksx
hellooo!! :)
big fat SAME right there. Why R U and 2Gether aka the only 2 things to keep me sane atm lmao.
I mean not that an invalid like me with poor thai skills would be a reliable source for this lmao, but from what I’m getting, the subs for the bath tub scene seem to be fine. But please don’t quote me on this haha.
I don’t have the time to check all episodes for mistranslations BUT I remember there was a scene in episode 4 where Tor & Fight are talking (Ep 4 Part 3, at around 4:30) where the subs weren’t exactly wrong as in telling the wrong context but they were just terribly worded lmao (this has been going around on twitter too):
Tor: “you did a good thing for me bc...” -> optimized trans: “you were just nice to me bc...”
Fight: “No, I didn’t, I have ever told you that don’t tell anyone, I tried to fix my problem”-> optimized trans: “It’s not like that, I told you not to tell anyone! I’m taking care of my problem myself.”
Tor: “I won’t let you interfere with Hwa…” -> optimized trans: “I won’t let you take advantage of Hwa…”
Fight: “I ask you that you don’t understand it don’t you?”-> optimized trans: “Let me ask you; a smart guy like you can’t figure this out?”
if anyone knows more, feel free to reblog or reply to this post!
