on the controversy - and netflix mistranslations

 dramalistsite:

cool it with the anti sematic remarks.

YOU have a short nose. 

Since you do, I'll be generous in providing you with what you're unable to do yourself.......research the 'meaning of someone has  a short nose'. LOL. Give me a minute to stop laughing here. Oh, gosh. *cough*,  wiping eyes* okay, okay, slowly pulling myself back together so I can give you the meaning of the saying.....alrighty, dear, it means someone lacks detailed knowledge or understanding about a topic, essentially only grasping the very basic information and not going deeper into the complexities or nuances involved; it implies a lack of depth in their knowledge, similar to how a short nose physically appears less prominent or detailed. Same can be said when someone doesn't know a thing about someone else.

You have a short nose for thinking my comment was "anti sematic", and dear, please do learn to spell correctly.

Why was I laughing so hard....bc  your accusation of ME being an antisemite was the perfect example of "having a short nose". Simply bc you didn't understand the meaning of a saying that our elders have said practically from the dawn of time. 

 dramalistsite:

There is not a single webpage or article about it, not even native english speakers knows about it

I'm a native english speaker and I know about it. I'm also an elder who heard it from my elders. We have more than quite a few idioms in my region of my country I was born and raised in. If you'd checked my profile, you'd know what country I'm referring to, and what region.

 dramalistsite:

Please stop making stuff up to explain your dog whistles

I'll give you another idiom that pertains to this specifically...Tilting at windmills:  to attack imaginary enemies or to pursue a goal that is not real or important 

You're dismissing me as an elder bc you don't understand what I'm saying. You are twisting yourself into a knot for an unimaginable offence that isn't there. I'll make it much simpler for you....referencing OP bidulgi's opening comment, a longform reply.... Thank you for more indepth incite into the controversy for the users who have an open mind and are willing to learn. For the other users who didn't bother, or care, to do further research before getting butt hurt, they could've alleviated their frustration and anger over an issue that has been proven to be (exclusively) Netflix allowing a mistranslation of the newscast's announcer's scene. Native Hangul speakers and viewers who don't require translations did not hear what the International viewers READ from the subtitles. That's why there isn't a controversy in SK. Netflix gifted the mistranslation to the International viewer. WHY is another question.

 dramalistsite:

when we are talking about isreal you're talking about non existing idiom about "nose" seriously???

The idiom......Just bc you haven't ever heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I do use idioms more as an elder. What I fail to do is not understand that young people don't understand what they mean. So I guess longer explanations in my comments will be required going forth to educate the young ones. Though you didn't after I'd explained what someone having a short nose means.

 dramalistsite:

let me guess your elders are from germany?

LOL. Hardly. I see what you've tried to do, and it isn't working. I still can't figure out how in your mind the idiom amounts to Jews/antisemitic. You'd have to explain it to me. Please enlighten me as to your thought process. Your question regarding "germany"  I do understand. THAT offends me greatly. Germany wanting to 'genocide' the Jewish people offends my humanity. My ancestors fought against Germany and Hitler in WWll. My people were and are anti-fascists.

Another thing you fail to do is to understand someone can be FOR/support humanity. ALL of humanity. The Middle East is an extremely nuanced political area. Yes, Israel is at war against Hamas. On the other hand, Hamas has put the Palestinian people in the cross hairs.  I despise Hamas, and anyone who supports them. Hamas needs to be wiped out for the region's good, as well as for the Palestinian people.

Again I ask, please explain your thought process. My DM is open.

I copy/pasted the explanation of "having a short nose" directly from the Google search. I don't have patience with others who don't want to do their own research. I haven't run across a complete list of all southern sayings/idioms. Some are obscure, yes, but it doesn't mean they aren't used.

 LucyL:

Again I ask, please explain your thought process. My DM is open.

Are you not able to provide how you derived at "anti sematic" from "having a short nose"? I've explained my thoughts. Someone with a short nose takes everything at face value and doesn't do their research, like Netflix allowing the mistranslation for, as yet, unknown reasons. 

If you can't explain your process, then could you explain why you think "short nose" is referring to Jews? I specifically told you my stance isn't anti-semitic. At this point, you've already made your mind up by tilting at windmills. I'm sure you haven't heard it either, or seen a single legit english article or webpage that mentions that idiom either. By focusing on what you derived at, your mind is already set.

Understanding takes cooporation, and an open mind.

 LucyL:

YOU have a short nose. 

Hi mam, sorry to quote you. My (long) comment isn't related to the short nose but there's no way to mention without quoting, so that's why....haha

I guess people rage about the final episode is understandable. Even OP suggested this reference should be excluded altogether because it didn't give any added value to the drama.  

Expecting viewers to later do a further research over a wrong translation is overstretching the purpose of an entertainment. No offence but if they want something informative/educative that's less fiction, they would never choose anything from romance genre in the first place.  

Then again this drama had a chance to totally fictionalize everything, yet they chose the name of countries that were too close to the existing ones and to make matter worst these 2 countries are still at (1 sided) war at the present and people can be bombed as we browse MDL. 

I suggest everyone to look up to a Jdrama, VIVANT and see how a fictional country can be done right. Not only that, even Muslim community among other ethnics were also portrayed in VIVANT but without a single issue arose. Since there's heavy propaganda on MDL recently saying that Muslim will behave against anything critical about their religion. Some even make a list of innocent users (calling them bots) just because they interact/react to the anti-Islam comments.

That being said, I also agree that SPAMMING shouldn't be allowed. But simply expressing frustration (on one comment, not in multiple comments) shouldn't be considered spamming. Simply rating drama 1/10 due to frustration shouldn't be called BOTS.

 TimiZero:

Expecting viewers to later do a further research over a wrong translation is overstretching the purpose of an entertainment.

The 'research' I'm referring to is the user (who refuses to explain how they derived at someone's comment of 'having a 'short nose' idiom as that commenter being anti semitic). and You're right, we can't expect viewers to seek the truth after seeing all the lies which leads users to believe in the false narrative.

At this point, heads should roll, the episode retranslated, if not scrapped all together,  and apologies submitted.
