So started watching this dubbed in English and made it 1.5 episodes. The voice overs are atrocious and the way that it was translated just makes it sound even worse. I legit thought that people had just gone completely nuts for liking this shit show.
Then I changed it to Korean with English subs. Soooo much better. The voice acting by the English was just completely over the top and none of the voices matched the characters. Will be finishing this tomorrow I'd say.
I just can't believe we don't have a thread for this. It's probably going to Netflixs biggest show/movie ever. [Reply]
I tried to watch it weds night but after 20 minutes of reading, I got bored and started Mare of Eastwick or whatever it was. It started slow but finished ep 5 it's picked up. [Reply]
I found it entertaining. The only thing that was actually bad was the VIPs acting. Those guys were terrible. There are definitely a lot of things the can do with this but if they make the main character suddenly capable of infiltrating or outsmarting the organization to get answers that will be a disappointment.

My son got me to watch, and I actually thought the series was pretty good. Pretty brutal and stressful at times. Didn't love the ending. Are we free to discuss spoilers here? I see people using tags but that's kind of cumbersome. I typically avoid threads about shows I'm not caught up on but not sure if others do as well. [Reply]

I'd think so at this point. Show has been out a couple of months. Glad you enjoyed it. For those wondering about the dubs vs. Subs, it seems those who watched it in dubs didn't seen to like it as much. As someone who watched the first 1.5 episodes with dubs on, it's understandable. The crappy dub voice actors add this weird "comedic" vibe to their voice acting, and it really makes this show seem goofy and campy. I don't get that vibe from the actors and tone with the subs on. I believe this show is intentional in the campy moments, and that is mostly reserved for scenes with the VIPs. I can't imagine watching episode 6 of this series, listening to the awful VA of the dubbed version of the old man. [Reply]
Yeah my son insisted I watch it with subtitles. Took a few minutes to get used to it but I was fine with it. What's funny is I didn't notice at first that one of the characters was speaking english. [Reply]
