You’re probably watching an automatic AI translation, and there’s a difference between that and a dedicated AI translation. I think that On GagaOOLala, they use a dedicated AI translation
Man the first episode was so boring, it was so clique. Does it get better or smt.
In my opinion, if it bored you, there’s no point in continuing. I thought the first two episodes were excellent, but it’s really a matter of style and personal taste.
Love the show up until now but the subtitles were so clearly translated by AI or something similar. There's moments…
True, but they speak in a pretty simple language, so it’s understandable even without translation — there’s no complex dialogue. What did you find confusing or hard to understand? You can also read the webtoon, and it’s pretty much the same.
they reheated semantic error’s nachos there are soooo many similarities i can pick on as someone whose rewatched…
I barely even remember that other series, except for the neon sign that lit up the hallways — it turned out to be a failure. This current series is much better and more engaging. The characters and their dynamics are a lot more fun to watch. The ending of the previous show was terrible, but this one is clearly heading for a great finale since the webtoon is excellent. While the webtoon is slightly better than the show, they’re still doing an amazing job adapting it. Honestly, I don’t see any connection between the two shows besides the fact that they’re both in SKorean.
I found that story pretty pathetic. He didn’t even invite her to join him until she offered herself. She’s not entirely without an agenda; she wanted to take initiative and build a connection, but she didn’t value herself enough to believe he might want her without her cooking for him every time they meet.
Regardless of the cultural expectation that women should do this, I haven’t seen it portrayed this blatantly in other Japanese dramas. Usually, it happens after some kind of bond is formed or when the other person gives something in return. Here, all he did was let her into his apartment so she could cross through the balcony — he didn’t even offer to do it himself to avoid putting her at risk.
Maybe others don’t mind, but to me, the male character isn’t appealing, and the female lead seems willing to give up her dignity and emotional self-respect just to feel loved.
The series makes me want to reread the webtoon. In the webtoon, the relationship develops much more slowly, and I would have loved it if the show had followed that pace and added more episodes. On the other hand, considering budget limitations, they truly did an impressive job with what they had. There are things in the webtoon that wouldn’t have worked on screen, and some lines were a bit childish — they improved those to make it feel more realistic.
The actors are excellent, and the characters feel more human than in the webtoon. There’s one scene that was supposed to include a large number of actors (in a basketball hall), but they skipped it and jumped straight to the waiting room scene. It felt like a sudden cut, like we missed something — but again, they probably had no choice, since casting that many extras would be expensive. That’s probably the only scene that felt a bit off.
It’s interesting how hard it is for them to secure funding for series like this. They seem to put effort into things like product placement — for example, the stickers on the drink cans, probably to allow future branding with alcohol. And yet that seems to be their main focus. I don’t understand why they don’t try getting funding from other sources besides alcohol — there are so many options.
You do realize that Saint picked this role for himself and also produced this series right? You are frustrated…
Honestly, that’s true. I understand why fans were upset that I assumed I knew what he really wants. I apologize — I definitely don’t know what he chose or didn’t choose, and I certainly don’t know him well enough to decide for him or say what’s best for him. The way I phrased it wasn’t right. I wish him all the best, and hope everyone enjoys watching the rest of the series.

True, but personally I find it upsetting. I mean, this is the country that exports the most Bl series, and I’ve raised several hypotheses about it — maybe it’s cultural, maybe it’s related to film education at universities, or maybe it’s because untrained people there don’t need a degree in directing or production to start producing. I honestly have no idea.
One thing’s for sure — it’s definitely not about budget. For example, in SKorea, there are low-budget web dramas. I’m not saying they’re always high quality, but I’m sure their budgets are much smaller, and yet they still manage to be better — because their education system strives for excellence, and so does their culture.
Yes, that comes with downsides — like rigid thinking, reliance on formulas, and lack of creativity or willingness to break out of the box — but even student projects aim for a high level of quality. That’s why, for me, this really is a mystery.
In any case, I definitely don’t know what he chose or didn’t choose, and I certainly don’t know him well enough to decide for him or say what’s best for him. The way I phrased it wasn’t right. I wish him all the best, and hope everyone enjoys watching the rest of the series.
I like this KBL series.But I think it will be more great if Han Ji Won as a male Olympic gymnastic champions have…
The main actor is incredibly cute, but there's no doubt he doesn't look athletic. On the other hand, he's supposed to look cute and delicate... so that's more a webtoon thing than the producers' fault.
How can they fit a webtoon, where only its first part has 30 chapters, into 8 episodes in a series? It's impossible without rushing a lot... even 2 chapters per episode, wouldn't finish most of the 30 chapters.
