Holy crap. You win. Slowest response in history. But then you were only 8 years old when the thread ended.

pokute

I, for one, will NOT be sorry to see you go... You are historically the biggest **** at D-Addicts, and have driven away more people than any other troll in the history of this place. Good riddance!

pokute

That's a Malaysian set. It's a "good one" if your satisfied with toddler English. They should pay people to suffer the pain of watching them. You'd be better off inventing your own dialog based on what you think the characters are saying.

pokute

I suggest that people be wary when buying ANY Korean dvd sets - Even "official" sets can have crappy video and subs. Best to get a recommendation from somebody who owns a set and gives you an exact link to where to buy it.

AsianDB does NOT look like a very reliable seller to me.

And, the fact is, Yi San is pretty popular at Soompi, and even here. It burns my hot cross buns when some ignorant twit comes along and says "I speak for D-Addicts, and we don't watch sageuks"... Or even worse, when some self proclaimed hero to the community announces that "kimchi dra...

pokute

Sageuks are outside the D-addicts and on the periphery of the Soompi demographic. I haven't watched Yi San because our local MBC outlet, for whatever reason, have dropped subtitling their shows. This one may be a purchase or a future grab, but my mum wants me to get her more episodes already! :) An...

Final review of Damo

This series is damn stupid. If you liked Shinobi, run out and buy Damo... It's more of the same crap. Kamen Rider Den-O has ten times the humor and bigger explosions, I'm sticking with that.

pokute

It's nice to see that YAE pays close attention to these forums. If only they noticed the comments about how to improve their friggin' lame subs... Then we'd be gettin' somewheres.

Interesting. So perhaps all the smoke-and-mirrors is some kind of strategy to protect the identities of some of the players in this Korea-Hong Kong-USA venture. But what exactly are they protecting themselves FROM? I wish they spent as much time making accurate subtitles as they do making grandiose ...

Alright, updated review of Damo time, now that I've watched 6 episodes: This show is really pretty juvenile. It's like a show for twelve year olds, but with pictures of a dead woman with a big blob of semen on her thigh. Who knows what the target audience was... How many five minute long takes of th...

Yeah, I'm enjoying Sandglass immensely, but when I put a new disc into the player and that YAE logo (on a stark white background, so not only does it assault the ears, but the eyes as well - guess it's their equivalent of "always watch in a well-lighted room") pops up and that ear-splittin...

If you can ignore 99% of what people tell you, I can ignore 100% of what you tell me. I beat you by 1%, so give up, I win. You can't ignore me 101%... Haha!

Man, it's so hard to get down to this level... My knuckles are taking a beating dragging on the asphalt like this.

pokute

Just a thought... Drama viewers should not have to work hard in order to watch dramas off D-Addicts. Assume the worst - a user who uses something like Windows 98 on a Pentium. In computing, you should never allow documents like video to drive you into purchasing new equipment just to run it. As a c...

Subbers are interested in having the largest potential audience possible for their work. Currently that means one divx5 video stream (with a pixel aspect ratio of 1:1) and one mp3/ac3 audio stream in an avi container. I would be most happy with h264/ac3/ass in an mkv myself, but that's still maybe t...

Haha!! It's true! It's true! Full House was my first Korean drama, and I immediately started sampling all sorts of Korean pickled everything over rice. Fortunately, here in Los Angeles, we have Korean markets that carry a hundred different freshly made pickles. I make kalbi using an off-the-shelf ma...

@meep - KBS is pulling their releases because they are signing distro contracts with YAE. This may turn out to be a good thing, if YAE can get their act together and learn how to capitalise and punctuate.

Here's a free script for fixing common errors in subtitles:

Code: Select all

The video quality is excellent, and the subs are probably better than the ones in the KBS set.

Historical dramas tend to be underappreciated here (at D-Addicts). Dae Jang Geum was an absolutely brilliant show, with much that would appeal to the D-Addicts demographic, and yet it languishes in relative obscurity here.
