So sorry to bother, but does anybody know why the character designs in the official translation is different from the raws?
Haters complained that the actor was ugly to be a star(dark skin tone, and manly features) so the author redraw everything with the Korean beauty standards (delicate features and pale white skin)
The guy was supposed to be a quarterback and now look like a idol with a cute concept
omg thank you sm, that helped a lot! :) i’m actually rlly pissed off now, cause i hadn’t read this in a while to let the officials catch up. it’s upsetting ppl can be so judgmental and internally racially biased. i understand korean beauty standards, but that doesn’t mean everyone around the globe or in south korea agrees w them. the bias in BL is rlly frustrating as well, how the characters always have to look the same. i was just telling my twin that in the og he looked like an original character w an interesting design, but the redraw makes him look like every other character in BLs recently.
thank you again, that was so helpful :(
not to mention he was actually so good looking and his description matched his looks so well. he looks like a quarterback (like you said) and his features rlly helped the whole angel facade he has. the second design almost looks unbelievable; he wouldn’t fool me for a second lolol this is such a big fiasco.. :,)
Author was probably totally passed too
Author was probably totally pissed too
Where could I see the raws? I would like to see the design differences.
the easiest way to see the design change would probably just be looking at fan translations here! the first few chapters uploaded here have his old design, and it slowly changes (skin tone morphs to be lighter slowly and features slowly morph to be more feminine) until the end of the first season (original fan translations). the official released translations (which are posted further down) are redrawn from the beginning. the easiest way to look at the difference between the two is by looking at the two different first chapters :) his new design gets better as the first season progresses and the second starts, but in the beginning it looks pretty funny lol i suggest reading the fan translations for the first season bc they’re done very well, and read season two from the official releases ^^
the raws are slightly harder to find and would require you to leave mangago which usually leads to risk of viruses!
Thank you very much for your kind reply! (´- `*) Now that you mention it, I see the differences between the first chapters and the new ones. I thought it was a natural change of the art style and such but to be the reason due to complaints! ! It's a real shame because the original design looks much better to me : /
