an "effective way to switch between dialogues in the show, but also within the context of a scene. We can see in real time the language gaps between certain characters or their ease in code-switching between cultures."
When you first fire up Pachinko, you’ll be told that the show is presented in its two original languages: Korean and Japanese. You have the choice then to hit one of two little icons in the lower right hand corner of your screen to choose English subtitles or English dubbing.
#Pachinko the Korean translator of the script asked for changes in the original English: "When there were English sentences I couldn't find the exact Korean phrase to do justice, the writers would change the English sentence."

Soo Hugh, #Pachinko’s creator: "You realize all around the world, they’ve been watching American content in #subtitles for so long now. And now we’re the ones being like, 'Oh, maybe it’s not so bad.' This would never have happened five years ago"
Indeed!

Soo Hugh gives a lot of credit to the streamers (Netflix and Apple+). Viewers can take risks "if I don’t like it, I could just click away.” …all of a sudden, foreign content doesn’t feel so marginalized anymore.
"In one scene, the blue and yellow subtitles denote two simultaneous, contradictory conversations."
