Re: K-Drama: 별난여자, 별난남자 (The Bizarre Bunch/Peculiar Woman,Man)
WELCOME, crazy4violin!
We're so glad you've decided to join us, and look forward to your continued participation on CJKDramas.com! class blockquote Does anyone know what Jaeman's occupation is? He seems to have a lot of free time going to the cafe and acting all poetic..He's the president of the home shopping company, where Sukhyun, Haein, Kiwoong, and Jongnam work.
HappyAjushee, I think I agree with every single thing you wrote in your last post!

 Re: K-Drama: 별난여자, 별난남자 (The Bizarre Bunch/Peculiar Woman,Man)
thoughts about Haien :
I guess I'm still thinking that she can't be totally evil because Kiwoong loves her so much . He's known her for 10 years ,and I trust the character's judgement.
That being said,I think she has been very thoughtless of K's feelings( as Happy A said )as a long time friend. For one thing,she should have bought a clue as to K's feelings after the blind date.She invited K on a date,then brought a friend to meet K. H should have realized from his response that maybe some thing was up.
So she's selfish and thoughtless ,but I hope not evil.
Is Jongnam superior to H in about everyway as a person ? Without a doubt.
That is why ,ultimately ,S will fall in love with her .( LOVE- not whatever's going on with H )
Does K deserve better than H ? Yes,unless her character undergoes some major changes.
Is H really evil ?
will someone else come along for K ? Who knows? I don't even know how many episodes there are.
Pmellia- quit going to the official site for spoilers ! I used to do that with MSMD until it was making me crazy

Re: K-Drama: 별난여자, 별난남자 (The Bizarre Bunch/Peculiar Woman,Man)
class blockquote
What a cliff-hanger to end this week's eps. I couldn't wait till Monday to find out. Is there a way to watch future episodes thru KBS even if it is not sub-titled. I used to do this on My Precious Child but I forgot the link. Can anyone help? Emceema, go to http://www.kbs.co.kr/drama/kbsbyul/view/vod/vod.html

Well, to tell you the truth, I wouldn't consider Haein evil. I think that's too much of a strong word. I'll consider her as careless.
I have a feeling that Jongnam will be the daughter of one of the characters in the show. Maybe it's the cafe lady, I'm not exactly sure. I predict this because in most K-dramas, all of the characters are connected in some deep level.
Sukhyun, I admire his acceptance of telling Haein's dad that K'sdad is his uncle. He made me respect him even more. I'm glad he's not going down the path his mother is. I'm crossing my fingers for alot more of Jongnam and s -love.
Dajung.......I hope she gets shipped off to America. She constantly bombards her father for a digital camera. She does not care about their financial state and that disgusts Maybe not shipped off to America but moves into a dormitory or something. Sooner or later, she will ask for a house.
BTW, what is this gag show that Jongnam and Sukhyun went to?
aHH Nara! Omigoodness....she's making my head grind like mustard seeds. I just want to go into the Television and slap her across the face. Ohh do I wish for the ability to do that.

K-Drama: 별난여자, 별난남자 (The Bizarre Bunch/Peculiar Woman,Man)
Hi Everyone,
I know it's hard to believe but I am enjoying the Bizarre bunch without looking for spoilers. I don't feel the need at all--not like MSMD which occupied my heart for months with all that sorrow--I guess I needed a way to end that wallowing in the grief of everything--(but I do miss MSMD).
I don't think Haein is pretty at all--and she has no personality--she's so boring. And old Nara, she is so like every evil mother-in-law. I thought in an early episode they said she started the company and then turned over the presidency to Jaemin--that's what I thought I heard.
And I'm with you Magneto--Haein's father is horrible to his wife--I know she's endlessly silly, but she deserves to be treated better than he treats her, and it offends me that she stood up against the wall with her hands over her head--I hated that--I wanted to sock him too. I'm sure that is not normal husband behavior in Korea--just as it's not the norm here--but like any society there are always the abberrant characters. Magneto--your posts always make me smile--they're so accurate in their assessment of characters.
Welcome to Happy Ajushee--I liked what you said about the subtitles. I always get the feeling that the subtitles aren't a good translation of what they are saying in Korean--if they are, there surely are a lot of Korean words needed to say one English word. And sometimes the translation is grammatically incorrect as well. Do you speak Korean Happy and am I right that they poorly translate what is being said?

Re: K-Drama: 별난여자, 별난남자 (The Bizarre Bunch/Peculiar Woman,Man)
Can someone let me know what happened Friday? My daughter wanted to tape Josh and Drake special and I was going to watch it live, but I got a phone call and forgot all about watching it.
TIA.

Re: K-Drama: 별난여자, 별난남자 (The Bizarre Bunch/Peculiar Woman,Man)
Professor972,
In my view, I think that the poor subtitles are due to:
1. bad translators (and if this is the case, it is most probably native Koreans who speak English); or,
2. a cultural gap between Korean and American English.
I wouldn't be surprised if the translators didn't make a serious effort (as may be done by a translation company), but I think that the differences between Korean and American culture play a role. What Americans and non-native speakers of Korean probably do not understand is that unlike American English, the Korean language is intertwined with Korean culture. One cannot be properly or fully taught and grasped without the other.
An example is the honorifics system of Korean (found also in Japanese). There is no problem saying "YOU" to a person 35 years older; if the literal Kroean "YOU" was used (nuh/janeh/dangshin), the person saying it would look extremely rude.
I do not speak Korean fluently, and will be humble enough to admit that these imperfect subtitles have helped me; however, I speak Korean well enough to know when a subtitle is poor. Let me give you an example from Taeguki - The Brotherhood of War.
In the scene when the two South Korean soldiers fight after the horribly maimed young soldier kills himself, one says:
니미 일제때는 나라라도 구할려고 싸웠지, 이건 뭐야, 이 좆다고!
A proper translation in English would be,
"Damn it, during the period of Japanese imperial occupation, I fought to defend my country, but what the f*** is this?"
But the subtitle weakly said:
"This is totally different from our fight against Japan!"
I rest my case.
