LOL! Watching a South Korean show and having a laugh with the English subtitles and Spanish
translation.
The show is called Korean Odyssey. I began watching it with the actors speaking in their native Korean language, so I got a feel for the personalities the actors were portraying in their own culture.
About episode four I realized there was dubbing in Spanish. So I began watching it with the Spanish dubbing. Would you believe that the character's personality changed completely? Some things were truly lost in translation.
And then I roared when a new actor shows up. He's suppose to play the part of an Asian American who wants to pitch a business deal in Korea. So the person who was dubbing his part in Spanish, had to speak in English, and it was a massive fail. Completely undermined the poor guy's role.
