    Ooh forgot to add - I found it to be a bit slow in places, but on the whole a pretty gripping watch.  Nice and dark and gorey just how I like them!

    I'm gonna rewatch it with subs now. I didn't even realise until after I'd watched it. 
    It'll be interesting to see what details were omitted.
    I would love to change my username, but I fully understand the T&C's (it was an old band nickname). So please feel free to call me Dave.

    I can't stand English dubbing on Asian cinema or TV.  I can just about manage it on animation if the actors are good.  They usually aren't.

    The VIPs were quite amusing, I'm assuming that they weren't over dubbed into English again for those that watched with English audio, but they were like video game characters, trotting off phrases and clichés in a really fake way.  They really stood out.

  • I thought 001 was the worst acting both the voice actor and the actual actor. I mean to an extent the voice actor prob had to try to fit the ridiculous expression on the dudes face

    There seem to be a small number of Western actors who base themselves in the Far East so they can get occasional work playing British or American criminals or businessmen.  I imagine they spend the other 11 months of the year running pubs, fish & chips shops or American diners.  They are the worst actors in the world.

    I hate dubbed stuff, I can't get past how wrong it looks. 

    The mrs watched a TV series and didn't even realise that it was dubbed!

    I quite liked the old guy, I thought the curly haired woman was actually far worse. I did wonder if the overdoing the facial expressions and hamming it up is a cultural thing?

    I think it is, definitely.

    I have no idea how it's the most watched show on Netflix. It's so-so.

    It's a bubble - ppl gotta watch it b/c of the hype. It's just OK IMO.

    I wanted to tell you at the start of this thread…. But others seemed convinced, so I left it. 

    It was ok until the last episode, which was utter shite.

    The decision the lead made in the last episode is out of character IMO.  It feels like it is done for a sequel, not in line with what happened up until that point.

    yeah, he was a real chancer before

    is it supposed to be survivor guilt?

    I was happy enough to watch with English dubbing

    I think that reading subtitles distracts too much from the facial expressions and body language

    Don't think so.

    SPOILER …..









    Survivor guilt would be what he was doing when he won…he was living like a hobo for like over a year, not spending the money.  That's the guilt.  But clearly he got over that and start dressing smarter…and then he thought he would take it on and give them a heads up ???

  • I tried watching it.

    But the in-laws were all seething over Korea/Japan hate stemming from 1446, and I kept getting distracted by all the demands for sepukku going on around me.

    My wife is not Korean.

    Bye!

  • With any foreign language film, subtitles all day long for me.

    Can I ask why?

    My perspective is that most of the world watch English films with dubbed audio, it's quite normal and a lot of expertise has been developed

    What do you think is better about subtitles? It's always been a mystery to me why some people prefer them

    Watched the last episode yesterday, and yeah - real change of character in the lead. Did quite like the 'twist' with who was behind it all though.
