Choose where you watch it carefully


I started watching this movie on Amazon streaming but during many conversations,the captioner just didn't bother to add the translation so people areresponding to a character and you have no idea what the first person said. I then switched to fastdrama.com and the subtitles were total gibberish as if random English words were picked out of a hat. Hulu had the best subtitles.

I don't expect 100 percent accuracy or even 85 percent. I understand that Korean language handles pronouns differently so I can tolerate the oft misplaced "he" when "she" is meant. Getting the English grammar and sentence structure right is not important in following the story either. But throwing up random words like these that appear just before the credits on fastdrama:

"Pitfall go inside"
"I also to yes. prosperous pitfall go inside."
"So childish"
"The saliva is about to disappear."
"What woman is like this?"
"To be moved those kinds of words."
"What moved? And where learn so never nutritious."

Again, I have no problem with the missing prepositions and usually, I can figure out what is meant if the general concept is there but the above is nonsense. According to a couple of other versions, the line about "pitfall" is translated "you're starting to rub off on me". Even if the line said "I'm getting used to you" or "I miss you when you're gone" or even something obscure like "you've become a pitfall for me", but the way the words are strung together says the translator does not understand English very well (at least not in any official/professional capacity where they should be allowed to translate when customers are paying their money to watch a film) or they didn't bother to proof the subtitles to catch their autocorrect or something.

Even watching a version with good subtitles, this movie didn't qualify as "cute" and/or funny which is all I expect or need from this type of film.
