Lee Hwan-gyeong's SBS Series Clips with English Subtitles

[sageuk]

These just suddenly popped up in my Youtube recommendations, but clips of SBS series Age of Wild Men (Yainshidae) and Yeon Gaesomun, both written by EWG and GOW writer Lee Hwan Gyeong are have English subs, though the translation work leads much to be desired (sometimes the translations are too literal).

I should however point out that the series as a whole do NOT have subtitles. Just certain clips from the shows.

Check them out if you're cuious even if they are only portions of the show.

(Youtube uploaders made it so that the video can't be played back on other sites, so I'll have to leave the links like this)

The above is the infamous dung water incident. May or may not have inspired a certain scene in JDJ.

Anyone ever notice that in Lee Hwan-gyeong's dramas, the characters sometimes repeat what they said earlier?

Ooh, I wonder if that means the show's captioned on the VOD site? That would help translation a good bit...

Edit: It's not :/ well, at least they're on YouTube

Also cackling at the uploader's titles for these videos e.g.

• Yeongaesomun: Captain Goguryeo, protect the CGI! (referring to the show's notoriously bad effects) www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b2c6A3jrxE&list=PLxfhbpox4ajTbYMLYtCEy_hSXt6mv9tem
• "Hey, Tang Shimin! Captain Goguryeo's here to poke out your eye!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b2c6A3jrxE

Other SBS shows:

• "Queen Inhyeon... u up?" He misses Inhyeon more as he drifts apart from Ok Jeong www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfrFkun_xLs
  
• I am your father... no, I'm your father! The jokbo's a mess www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyRP6-WPk48

Communications team deserves a raise tbh (and the remastering team, they've done amazing)

I'm not convinced that the translators are people, but the subs are the result of a machine translator because of how off a good chunk of the words seem to be.

Not that its impossible for a human translator to do a bad job, but some of the sentences seem like something out of Google translate.

For example, when Yeon Gaesomun's name is said out loud, sometimes the subtitles translate it as "rumor," most likely because of the Korean word "somun." Even a person who is a bad translator should recognize that its a name.
