They could’ve at least made him 21-22 and he would’ve still been young enough to be perceived as naive. Mc would literally be a freshman in college rn…
Look y’all I hate his actions as much as the next guy but remember that the official English translation has really screwed him over. He’s actually much kinder and softer to Kim Dan in the Korean version so yes, his actions were bad but his redemption arc started wayyy before what we know it to be
True lol! (LET ME YAPP FOR A BIT PLEASE)
This is also the reason why i studied some other languages and engaged myself in real conversations with some native ppl and ALWAYS ALWAYS check the raw in their original language...
Cause damnnnn when you at least have 30% knowledge about the original language, you'll know that there's TOOONNNSSSS of misleading translation EVEN IN THE OFFICIAL TRANSLATE ONE I've notice it when i started to pick up my mandarin lessons and kanji lessons again, like wtf.... Why the English translation is basically WASHED 70-80% OF THE CONTEXT??!! (Yeah i'm looking at you official english translation for jjk!)
The reason why i checked the raw for jinx is because i found one twt acc where they pointed out a few panels about the difference between the hangeul and the official english translation... So i checked/read the hangeul in those screenshots first, and then forming a direct translation in my mind before i swipe to the next photo/screenshot and let me tell you, i was NOT expecting it to be translated THAT WAY and i'm always 100% on Kim Dan's side since the very beginning (bottom enthusiast, so yeah) and ofc i always have personal beef if it's abt a trashy top. But damn... The English translation really fucked him up like some of the words aren't even in his original dialogue?!! Why they feel the need to add some extra stuff which is unnecessary and kinda ruining the context and the whole vibe lol
Can you give some example, because I am really interested to know jaekyung's tone in original toward Kim dan. Pretty please
Thank you for this could you give some examples? I hate mistranslations like that and I always feel like I’m missing out when I read it in another language.
Like all the times since Kim Dan left when he's aggressive or mean, he's saying it more gently. In Korean, he also uses more flowery language occasionally so he's more like a snarky diva rather than an aggressive man. I think in chapter 81 the official has him saying "go to sleep so there'll be no excuse to slack off" or something but the Korean version has him saying "Rest well and do your best at work"

thank you, I’ll sad I never get to experience reading the original version :(
Thank you for this!
“Hey why do you look so down?” “I decided to put my last living family member in a nursing home for her safety” “Oh so you hate me?” GIRL WHAT??
LITERALLY WAS JST FINNA SAY THIS
No...
It should be this:
"So you are telling me not to come here anymore? Are you kicking me away?"
Mans was not NEARLY desperate enough for Yona during their first time! You’re telling me you’ve been waiting YEARS for someone that beautiful and you’re smiling calmly like that??
My thoughts exactly!! ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Y’all before I keep reading someone please tell me when the mc confesses to lying about everything? I can’t handle this second hand embarrassment
never… at least for now he didn’t
Ewie
Okay maybe I’m dumb but I never understood what the second impression was? Like at the very beginning they keep mentioning how the “first time” (not actually) they met was left with a bad impression but when was that?? When would Lyle have met Ash and Nicholas? It’s always confused me
Okay so I read the novel and Ash and Nick dated before. They broke up but I cant remember why. Nick is dating Karlyles brother and for some reason Ash and Nick meet up (not for any reason like cheating but I cant remember the specific reason). Karlyle sees them and gets upset because he assumes the worst i think and is either rude or standoffish towards Ash, which leaves a bad impression. I think they should have done a better job at including these details in the manhwa because it seems pretty important to the beginning of their contract/relationship. In the novel, ash kinda disliked Karlyle at first. It's why he says that "dont worry, I couldnt fall for someone like you" like towards the beginning. In the manhwa it seems so weird and out of place without that context. It's also why Karlyle gets upset when he sees Ashs reaction to hearing Nick is pregnant, Karlyle thinks Ash isnt over nick and gets upset.
Reading the novel cleared up a lot of the things that confused me about the manhwa at first cuz some stuff really could have used more context.
Omgg thank you so so much! That makes so much sense and that’s so odd they left that out! I’ll read the novel after I finish rereading this!! Would you happen to have the link for it??
There isnt one I have found, I bought the official physical books off publang lol. You can get a digital version off publang for cheaper than what I bought the books for
Okay awesome!
