Itaewon Class
Overall Rating: A+Subtitles: These subs were OK. My one major complaint is the way they translate the nicknames/honorifics (do we have a good word for this in English?) like "hyung" and "unnie," because the translation is inconsistent and often misses the mark on meaning. Sometimes this was super critical, like when Yi Seo first refers … Continue reading Itaewon Class
