In the fan translation, I thought Tay basically indulges Ilay and says “I like you” which makes Ilay blush.
But the official translation is different??
Cause no way Tay just claimed that Ilay likes him and Ilay just accepts it?!?
I thought it was Tay indirectly says ‘I like you’ to Ilay as kind of a play when he asks about how he said it to his ex, then Tay asks Ilay if he likes him and he got all blushy n horny
I think is about a play of word in korean, it should be like a ... "you really like it" "you really like me saying it" (hearing "I like you") probably it was difficult to adapt in English
it was translated wrong in the fan translation - in korean sometimes sentences can be vague because you don’t need to use a subject/object (so literally you can just use the verb ‘like’ without specifying who is doing the liking and/or what it is that is being liked lmao)
but usually context clues will let you know what they’re referring to, so in this case the sentence taeui says before specifies (with subject and object) ‘*you* like *me*, right?’, and after ilay says ‘what?’, and then taeui is doubling down by saying, ‘you like me’ (alternatively translated to ‘i said, you like me’ to emphasize the taeui is doubling down)
as a caveat, the word play still exists where, in connection to ilay previously saying ‘say you like me’, taeui could be telling ilay he likes him as well (the wonders of not using subjects and objects in korean lol). it’s meant to be vague on purpose, so i kinda take back saying that the fan translation is wrong definitively.
Nah I read the raws.. he says it directly after his internal monologue
너 나 좋아하지= you like me
The MC is hot, reliable, and smart. And we have an ML who isn’t a toxic a-hole! He’s so dorky and loveable. They’re both so adorable together. I usually have 2nd ML syndrome, but not this one. 2nd ML is a complete a-hole and I’m happy that we have an MC with a brain who actually chooses the right guy who deserves him!!
I was wondering how far they’d go before the misunderstanding was cleared.
“Then why did I get hit” had me lmfaoo poor Jigu but this is funny as heck
