This was peak because the main characters in the dou Dalu series all only have one wife. Like, I gotta respect the loyalty in the tang family—
Bro, I love showbiz manhwas and they always have some type of bromance that is so good and I immediately begin shipping but it’s not bl so whatever. But EVERYTIME I find a showbiz BL manhwa, it’s always the angstiest shit ever and never focus on any showbiz.
Am I the only one that notices this?? ;;
like why is it so hard to find chill bls about showbiz where it’s also about the mc growing as an actor, idol, or whatever? Like, they always gotta be about the darkest topics like SA, sponsorships, or just anything but the actual showbiz part.
Like I understand that’s the underside part of the showbiz world, but there’s gotta be some bls that actually don’t make me feel sad after reading right?? I just want to see my babies get famous and then kiss ;;
I know I’m asking for too much lol. I’ll just continue reading my showbiz manhwas and fantasize about my ships coming true in them ;;
If anybody knows any, even if it’s in novel form(I’m desperate lol), please share for the needy ;;
well between the lines is angsty asf but it does show a lot of show biz
Haha ;; yeah I’ve read that one, and the angst is definitely there
Angst cant escape me ;; but maybe it’s cause I read too much bl lol—

Hmmm I’ve seen it for a while. I might read it when I want to read fluffy bl, but probably gonna read something showbiz focused for now haha(where this random thought even came from when I was looking at my showbiz manhwas to reread lol I’m addicted)

Anyone else get a pet peeve when official translations completely get rid of any use of honorifics? Like, things like hyung, ahjusshi, noona, sunbae, -nim, -chan, -kun, -san, -sama, gege, and every other honorific you can think of? Like, I feel like it’s just as important to the story, since it signifies how close a character is to each other. But they always either omit it or change it to something else that doesn’t describe the exact feeling the original gave? Like, I sometimes have to replace it in my head or I only read the unofficial translations since they keep the honorifics.
Like, I get it because of localization or some people might not know what they mean, but that’s what translator notes are for?? Idk, I just get peeved by it and it makes me so sad when the official translations or any available translation localizes the hell out of the English translation.
Though, I understand beggars can’t be choosers and this is such a first world problem, but I still feel sad about it and wonder if anybody feels the same or does anyone prefer when they leave the honorifics out? Just wondering why and stuff.
Also dislike it when they change the currency to American dollars. Like, PLEASE JUST GIVE ME TRANSLATION NOTES INSTEAD. IM BEGGING YOU.
Miss the days when you would just get a random translation note saying “TL note: Moo means Moo.” Smh /j
Meant to write hyung, not thing lol— autocorrect
me when i was reading the s-classes that i raised... total ICK
RIGHTTT its so sad when the best stories get the extreme localizations ;; like, when did 4kidz start doing manhwa translations wtf
Also when that special moments when the couple first says their first names in mangas...
I agree! I especially dislike when they try to replace hyung with bro or something. It's just not the same. There simply aren't any English language equivalents for most of these honorifics and good translators recognize that and preserve them while explaining the meaning in notes.
I do feel like most recent official translations I see have been keeping honorofics and other cultural terms in the translation so yay for that
Yesss I’m so glad for that too, but some new ones still do that and the really good ones that have been out for a while (like s classes) still have the extreme localization and it’s so sad ;; let my boys call each other hyung!
Same!!! Like it makes no sense and then the translator has to create a whole page to explain it all because they didn’t have that from the beginning like it could’ve been fixed all from the beginning if you kept the original! It also makes the moment so much more special!! It’s part of the culture so it really sucks when they change it ;;
I totally agree with you it’s just not the same
Bro why is this on my popular page
