Terrible translation/ Subtitles!

Rating: 7/10 (15 March 2008)

This film read like it was subbed by a 7 year old trying to translate Shakespeare! They should have had someone who actually speaks English at a college level translate this film. All the needed nuance and subtlety of the language in an already borderline melodramatic film made a good story in Korean sound like a ridiculous soap opera in English.
The following is an example of the sort of subbing I'm talking about:
Korean script: "I won't be able to face our mother if I don't get you back home alive."
English subtitle: "Don't die or I can't look at Mom!"
