What are you currently watching?

This is a great movie and I hope many go and check it out. I cried and love the ending. It has a bit of violence and strong subject but is nothing that we don’t see in the news in the real world.

Go Go Squid again. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@feyfayer

I thought it was quite realistic in this regard and might give people who are afraid of speaking English (or any other language), the confidence to do so

You are so right about that and have a good point there. I only saw episode 1, and refused to continue but I’ll check other episodes later on and see what’s up. I’m used to seeing shows that go with the the flow, but I know you are used to them since you have seen so many. I have seen several but I always drop them on the first episode. I was subbing one show, and was bored to death so I dropped it. I don’t know if the translation in English was messed up but they laughed and were having the time of the life but I didn’t get the joke most of the time.

I’m new, sorry for the dumb question, but what is (NF)?

It’s not a dumb question at all. It means Netflix. But that’s of course a rival of Viki, so we don’t talk about it too obviously and we’re not allowed to share links that lead there.

In one of the comments in Go Go Squid they were saying that the stars won best actor and actress for their performances and I looked it up and it has won a lot of awards. I can see why. It is one of my favorites. It might be a little hard to get past the first episodes but it is so worth it.

I don’t think that they necessarily mess up the translation (although it isn’t perfect), but sometimes we miss certain cultural aspects or the way that the word was said in Korean (or other languages) makes it funnier. That’s why I try my best to listen to the words they say even though I don’t understand 99% of it, but when I get it and the context behind it, it becomes much funnier.

LOL I salute you, I think I made it 20 minutes something into ep 1 and I really wanted to give it a try, guess it isn’t meant for me at the moment.

Lee Jun Ki whatever he does, I will at least give it a try.

Wahaha! I first came to Viki in 2018 (account since 2019), so I’m probably your hoobae. I’ve also been wandering off to Japan and Taiwan, haha.

OMG! I didn’t see any of the shows in his list! Guess I’m not passing the exam … :rofl:

Well, maybe I just specialise in the things that nobody else watches. :wink:

There’s also something that bothers me about them and is that they put the ppl they invite to the show down with their comments/jokes. Just recently they were criticizing a young girl bc she was ‘‘chubbier’’ and u know they don’t say it in a politely way. They call other’s offending names (fat, pig, ugly etc…), and they laugh like it’s so funny.

I hate when they do that especially to the young ppl. bc they tend to have low self esteem, and with the high rate of suicide in that country I feel is best they tone it down or write a script since that show is more joking as they go along in the show.

Don’t get me wrong I tried really hard to understand the way the culture interact but i just can’t accept it so I couldn’t work on it anymore.

Go Go Squid is one of my favorite cdramas! True, it’s hard to get past the first episode, but after that, it’s truly an amazing drama. I binged all 41 episodes in a matter of 3 days (with breaks of course) Go Go Squid was lighthearted and lots of fun to watch.

It’s finally here! Lee Joon Ki and Moon Chae Woo. Great chemistry from episode 1 and HOT KISS on first episode. Amazing! The story will shock and break your heart but is really different and it is what it is…:open_mouth:

Go Go Squid is about a first love and going after what you want through all sorts of obstacles. The guy is into CTF (Capture the Flag) cyber security thing for hackers. It is like a team sport. The female lead has no clue about that but is into artificial intelligence. As most of these shows it gets better and better. No blood and gore.
