I've asked this in other Korean movie forums..

but have yet to get an answer. In the subtitles, Koreans seem to call each other "bastard" constantly. It it a direct translation? Do Koreans call each other "bastards" all the time or is it something else?

I'm not a Korean but I have a very simple answer for your question. It's just a movie with a lot of swearing. It has nothing to do with Korean people. People use offensive language all over the world.

You must not have read my post. I have watched a lot of Korean movies and in the subtitles the word "bastard" is used a LOT. Way more than other profanities. Not just in this movie but in many.

No it is not a direct translation. You are probably referring to ssibaloma which means someone you'd like to "ssib" which is an ancient punishment of tearing the limbs apart with horses.
