Re: OST I started studying Korean at university level 9 years ago because I wanted to understand Korean OST. I had seen a web site, Learning Korean through OST and thought it was an excellent idea. Since then, I have subtitled approximately 1000 OST in the over 200 K dramas I have worked on at viki. I posted these on Soompi, which is owned by viki, a few days ago. **The Day Ost 1** Despite the harsh sunlight, the spring was beautiful. The flower petals bloomed breathtakingly red over the fields In the long endless night again the lushness blankets me. Even if it is a dream, to leave again is cruel. On a day when every wind stops On a day when longing is allowed With a feeling devoid of being strident I will call you _End of refrain_ Perhaps at the end of this life If there is a day you might not be able to come By the name which will not die down I will call you Our pain is another difference between you and me It closes our eyes to the fate which intended each of us for the other Refrain In my dried up sea There is but one red sun rising It is an unforgettable dream Which is so distant it cannot be reached Perhaps at the end of this life On the day we finally become one It will call my splendid pain It is all green. “Translation Note: In the song, the word 푸르름 is used several times. Literally it is the color blue-green but it used poetically as a symbol of youth, lushness, abundance. **OST 4. Sound** Stars spring buoyantly to mind Together with you they come to mind When I am rowing again And my two hands are soaked I keep thinking of you. Tears drop I brush them away because I’ll get caught You … Why is the pain severe As this in my heart again? _Start of refrain_ From far far away a sound is heard Your breath your voice Even in a dream your sound hurts Following the clouds Following the wind If I walk everyday On the chance it may appear Your beautiful smile _End of refrain_ Starlight declines sharply I recall you more Today again I think about you over and over My heart again hurts because of longing But then what’s wrong with missing you? Refrain Both anywhere you have walked And anywhere which might not have a place for me to rest There side by side While holding your hand I want to walk there That’s what I want You You The name I long for Your breath your voice Even in a dream the sound of you hurts You You A sound which rings If I call you every day Just in case you will hear me I’ll shout like this To you. ---

Turns out she is one of the leads in what could be called internationally the most successful Korean movie of 2017 - The Handmaiden! I watched that movie but forgot her face. It seems she is really great in whatever she takes on. But for me, nobody can take the place of Kim Go Eun 😊 ---

@cgwm808 [quote=“cgwm808, post:21, topic:20175”] Despite the harsh sunlight, the spring was beautiful. The flower petals bloomed breathtakingly red over the fields… THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I couldn’t translate the OST in Spanish bc most of the lyrics would make no sense in Spanish. I didn’t wanted to offend @ rifat\_kabir (who was so nice to offer her/his translation), so I chose not to mention that. I appreciate so much you took the time to to put the Translation here since I know you do so much work here at Rviki. Thank you again. I love this song, although is such a sad song that clearly tells us the fate of that such beautiful love story. ---

I really like Mr. Sunshine too. It has been a while since such good Kdrama was made. And now I want to watch The Handmaiden. My dad already watched that one and said it was nice but I didn’t watch it yet. ---

Yes! A wonderful drama that I anxiously wait for new episodes, and was so pleasantly surprise when I read the next episode (9) will be available on August 4- Saturday. I’m so excited!!! My apartment painting will be put on hold for now, that’s for sure! hahaha ---

I haven’t seen The Handmaiden but I read about all the awards that drama got so I’m looking forward to watching that one, too. Kim Go Eun, I’ve only seen her in Goblin, and felt she should have put more emotions in her acting in that role/ drama. But of course she has a lot of potential. I’m so glad we are seeing new faces bc I was getting so tire of seeing the same faces in dramas. It takes away so much from the drama when you see the same actor/actress in same story plot, with just a different partner. It kills the romance feeling for me. ---

– I think part of the reason the lead actress is relatively unknown (definitely not an A list actress) is that so much money is being paid to Lee Byeong Hun – $135,000 (₩150 million) per episode - for 16 episodes that would be over $2 million US – As I am watching it on ■■■■■■■, I wish the English would be captioned too. There are so many lines spoken in English which I can’t hear or decipher – and I’m a native speaker. It seems like the volume drops whenever there is an English conversation. Lee Byeong Hun’s pronunciation is very good – but this is a criticism of all the spoken English on the drama so far. It’s also interesting that after about six episodes, they finally started calling the palanquin a palanquin rather than a carriage so I’m wondering if they have gone back to earlier episodes to correct that? – So many of the English subs use ambiguous words and strange phrases that I am constantly puzzled. I have the feeling there are numerous mixed metaphors and there are definitely a lot of anachronism (that is using phrases which are not appropriate for the time.) It seems the two main characters often talk in riddles. For other characters, the subber subs as though it is a saguk and at other times I’m thinking I’m hearing a “valley girl” talk. ---

Lee Byung Hun was definitely what primarily attracted the audience, asides from Kim Eun Sook and Lee Eung Bok. But it seems that the jakuza, the ever so charming Yoo Yeon Seok is a proper scene stealer 😆 Typical bad boy wounded heart second lead syndrome. ---

We were wondering why they insist on calling the Black Dragon Society Musin Society… Also, in the first episodes they use “mal”(?) of rice, but don’t really provide a modern equivalent. Confusing if you know nothing of Korean culture beforehand. ---

It seems the two main characters often talk in riddles. For other characters, the subber subs as though it is a saguk and at other times I’m thinking I’m hearing a “valley girl” talk. It’s probably more than one person subbing? Ah, I can see how this kind of subtitles can mar your enjoyment. It’s like when I went to a concert with my singing teacher. She was appalled because the second violins were out of tune. I enjoyed the concert a lot but she couldn’t enjoy it because of that. Being knowledgeable means you don’t have such a good time as the ignorant ones. ---

What I also find amazing is that all the different languages (English, Korean, Japanese) are not so annoying. All cast took the time to pronounce it all the best they can. Of course you can hear when someone isn’t a native but for this drama I don’t get annoyed like when someone starts to speak broken English at a business meeting or when they feel the need to add English to osts just because it’s cool and then screw up with pronunciation. Yes it can be hard, my own pronunciation is not that great either in my opinion, but I don’t have to act like a English business woman or have important business phone calls. ---

OST 5 . Ost 5 A quiet wind came and asked what I thought of you. That’s how without my knowing It you quietly came into my heart then Because you are fast asleep Are you dreaming? The whole world That’s you. Will the beam of light which falls Even know The reason why it hurt then? _Start of refrain_ It was the beginning. On such a lovely day I could hold you in my eyes A lovely day. I soared. Dazzled then. In my heart in my mind Like a day the flowers bloom I bloomed _End of refrain_ Why are there just tears Which can’t be hidden Which can’t be stopped? A long story A cold and sad story At the end you and I are hugging Will we part? I must try to hang on with My two hands holding you Refrain Beautifully Brilliantly You are that. Because you remain so lovely Will you walk this path with me? The path you are walking toward me On the path which blooms radiantly forever I want to be there always t was the beginning. On such a lovely day I could hold you in my eyes A lovely day. For the first time I cried Because I will see you In my longing, in my wanting to see you is that one reason which is you. ---

OST 6 My Home (Eugene’s Song) (NOTE: I have marked with # the stanzas which were written in English) . I think this is the longest K drama OST I have every seen. Ost 6 My Home (Eugene’s song) (Eng)Close your eyes and hear inner voices within my heart, for all is unknown (Eng)So maybe lie shows better life for our days it’s more than meets the eye I have too many stories Which aren’t known yet Close your eyes and listen To the voice which is deep Within my heart Sometimes I feel that We have a need To cover our lives with lies But there is more to our lives Than meets the eyes (Eng)When the stars fly away the shadow next to me is the only one standing with me (Eng)One day will they come back to places they belong I believe that day will come The stars disappear at night and You who were something important to me … If this time disappears The thing remaining in front of me Won’t just be my own shadow Sometimes I wonder whether those days will return again The stars, the things which were important Will I return and find my place again? Even so I will believe. That day will come. (Eng)Say that everything will be fine after all I will always be here (Eng)Say that when it’s time it’ll be deeper than before I will always be here _Start of refrain_ Please say when time passes Everything will be fine I will wait until that day comes When it perhaps is when we meet again Our love and time will become even deeper I will be here always unchanged _End of refrain_ (Eng)Close your eyes and see with your eyes of your heart one that is within my heart (Eng)So tell me why is this only way for our days it’s more than meets the eye Close your eyes and With your mind’s eye Can you just once let it pass? Please tell me Everything which is within me The only thing which will become like that Is our way. Will there be anything else other Then the thing which appears right now (Eng) just wanna know within one hope if you will ever see it (Eng) just wanna know one thing that is all if our days will be back Within my small hope I am so worried Whether you can see me Will I just return again to our days? I wonder and want to know only that. Say that everything will be fine after all I will always be here Say that when it’s time it’ll be deeper than before I will always be here Refrain ---

What I noticed in this drama that subtitles are done very fast, so fast I think they don’t even bother editing them. The english conversation between the ‘‘Americans-’’- is not subtitled in the drama, and sometimes being they are not perfect in their pronunciation, I can’t really understand what they were saying at all. They are very informal when talking to the princess which makes no sense to me. They’re constantly changing the names, and I get so confused thinking ''wait a minute, wasn’t that such and such…? lol I’m assuming there’s more than 1 person doing the translations, and they don’t communicate well with each other bc if they did, they would agree to name a place or things the same way (to avoid confusing the viewers). I have to say subtitles on ■■■■■■■ are the worst. I see a lot of gonna, wanna, aren’t (at the beginning of a sentence and it makes no sense either). I am thankful we have subs as bad as some of them are. I mean, at least I understand as much as I need to after I analyze the mess they wrote. I had to give a bad rating to a drama/movie several times bc the subtitles were so bad I couldn’t make sense from them as hard as I tried. I figure giving them low ratings would bring attention as to what the viewers dislike and maybe just maybe hope they would fix the problem. They should at least have a comment section where we can complain about the subtitles. ---

I think NF doesn’t have a long experience in subtitling and they might not have a good foundation of “How to subtitle” as we know on Viki there is a tight-knit collaboration and a constant communication. I could imagine that NF has very little guidelines nor Team Notes that are ever updated nor a Moderator that guides a team. What NF has is money and large presence by name. ---

I’m sorry to say it but I think ■■■■■■■ chooses its dramas better than Viki and that has nothing to do with money. The truth of the matter is, unless its a hyped drama, such as this one, Viki doesn’t go much for serious modern K-dramas, at least not in the extent as ■■■■■■■ does. There is so much soapy fluff on Viki, drowning anything serious and seriously worth watching under its fluffy bubbles. Catching up on some K-drama on ■■■■■■■ (currently Argon) I realised I missed out on so much the past years. ---

The other day I was watching Mr. Sunshine and one of the subtitle was; (tram/train whining) At first, I thought I was confused bc it flashed by really fast and so I rewind immediately to the part I know I saw the sub, and there it was! I mean these subs on ■■■■■■■ (Mr. Sunshine drama especially) are beyond ridiculous. I can’t believe that such a great drama is getting such terrible subs and is taking so much reality from the drama. Now, since I’m also using close caption subtitles, I really don’t know if these nonsense is really from ■■■■■■■ subbers or something else. I’m having a hard time believing they would give such low quality subs in a drama that is so amazingly great. I find myself waking up at 7 am to watch it since now the show airs on Saturday and Sunday (I use to watch them on Tuesday and Wednesday). I’m just so nervous about the ending which will be aired on September 1. I just hope I don’t see a tragic ending. ---
