Funny subbing mistakes

But that’s only a typo.
More important: The question should come first. Or do he ask the same?

That’s the question! :joy: One has to see the actions before… it could well be the person before asked the same…

If I’m not mistaken she repeats the question.
It’s a funny typo to me XD

I’m currently watching a show (that’s not aired on Viki) but there was a funny subtitle.

“Did they have beef with each other?”

Beef in this context was not referring to food.
It’s a slang meaning, having a disagreement or falling out with someone. :joy:
When I saw the subtitle I had to giggle. This show is a Cdrama set in the republication era.

Guys I’m back after a very very long break.:no_mouth: Actually you guys knew about my situation. It was quite hectic past few months. But, now I’m back and would talk and discuss with you guys again.

I don’t know if you guys still have watch parties.

Anyway its good to meet everyone again.

Welcome back! I don’t really know what happened, but I’m glad you got it all squared away. :wink: I hope you have a discord account, it seems the parties are happening over on that side. :slightly_smiling_face:

Welcome back!!!
The last watch party I was invited was Ghost Doctor, as far as I know there is no watch party in this moment, at least not in viki.
I know that some of the regular watch party fellows are doing it by discord but I’m not so involved in discord right now.
Anyway, if you want to do a watch party you can make a thread with the show and we can join (me and whoever wants to do it lol)

We do! We’ve moved to Discord but most of the hosts post the WP link in Discussions too (if the drama is on Viki).

This is hilariously funny :rofl: dwl Cupid’s Kitchen.
Episode 9 at about the 8:20 to 8:23 mark. It’s the middle of the night, she hears sounds, that woke her up, concerned she goes to check on her teacher. btw both are beginning to fall for each other, hence the title above, but I hate the 10 year age gap. I hate it especially when the younger of the two, is so obviously wet behind the ears. . .Anyway, back to the fsm. She knocks on the door, calls his name he answered with beat it! :joy::sob::rofl: What is this??:joy::joy::sob::rofl::rofl: A Michael Jackson song?!! :woman_shrugging:t5: He clearly said Go Away! In Mandarin, Chinese.

Another case of a subber using an idiom not everyone understands :joy::sweat_smile:

This isn’t from Viki, but its one of THE most iconic subbing mistakes in kpop history :joy:

Pentagon’s Shine is one of their most popular songs, released 3 years ago, currently has 237M views, and any proper kpop fan has definitely heard it at least once.
The lyrics go
“내가 너를 좋아해도, Nobody knows
다른 여잘 봐도, nobody’s like you”

While the sub goes

and they do it TWICE

Its already funny because it’s the exact opposite of what they’re saying, but the fact that they’re saying it in ENGLISH and it still got messed up is hilarious

Lol yes many entertainment companies mess up with subbing. Similar happened with SM, YG too…

It’s not an idiom. It’s raining cats, and dogs is an idiom. It’s really the wrong translation altogether, the funny part comes in because they are just starting to like each other, so why would he talk to her like that, the other side to the scenerio is, he’s the older of the two, with an health issue threatening his talent, and his carefree life. He does not want her to see him in that light. :wink: Annnd! This is likely where she proves to be The One!

“Beat it” is an idiom phrase that means “Go away” or “Leave me alone”, so if he was telling her to go away, it’s technically the right meaning… but we still wouldn’t use it in this case so yeah, it is funny
