'It is a very extraordinary difficult field, requiring four groups of people to make this all work.'

Or, like the scene where Sang-woo first comes back from the games and he soaks in the bathtub with his clothes on."There is something beside him making smoke," Euijini explains."Many non-Koreans didn’t notice that Sang-woo was about to kill himself. This is one of the well-known suicide methods in Korea — by smoking briquettes.""There are many scenes that only Koreans can understand," Euijini pointed out.

Cultural nuances like this are why actor Edward Hong said it's so important to hire Asian actors for Asian roles. Edward was the voice actor behind multiple characters in, including Kim Si-hyun, aka the pastor."The way Korean pastors talk is completely different than how American pastors talk," he told BuzzFeed."So actors that don't have the cultural familiarity might not understand how to play that part.

Edward said that even with the inclusion of all API actors, there are some phrases and words that will ultimately still not be able to translate 100% accurately in English."I would call dubbing a magic trick," Edward said."Because it requires four groups of people in choirs: the actor, ADR director, the audio engineer, and the translator — every single aspect has to work perfectly for dubbing to make it sound and look like it's seamless.

Edward said that he believes much of the debate surrounding the accuracy of the translations isn't taking into account the difficulty of the work, or how underpaid people are in this line of work."It's not a money thrown field," he said."It's something that's thrown fast, and something that we have to accomplish just as fast with very, very minimal turnaround."
