Review of Okja (2017) by Jieun%20 J — 27 Jun 2017
I would like to point out that there is a gross mistranslation of Steven Yeun's line around 58 minutes in - before he jumps into the river, he says in Korean "by the way, my name is Koo Soon Beom" but the English subtitle says a complete different thing; "Mija, Try learning English.
It will open new doors!" Here, the character K is trying to connect with Mija by telling his Korean name to Mija when other English-speakers are gone. Instead, him telling Mija to learn English not only takes away from their relationship but he appears to be patronizing, too.
I contacted Netflix to see if they could fix it but the agents could only tell me to submit a complaint online and it could eventually get and they are not sure if anyone will speak about the issue.
