[I’ve got a technical issue with this show and would love some assistance if anyone has any words of wisdom: watching this via the Apple TV app on a Google TV television, I can’t seem to watch it with the Korean and Japanese dialogue subtitled without also getting all English dialogue subtitled as well. Turning off the subtitles in the app turns them all off. If anyone’s figured out how to work around this, I’d be very appreciative to hear about it. The show looks great, but the subtitled English is driving me nuts.]

We’ve only watched the first episode of this. Great so far. I’m a little bit ambivalent about watching all the way through, because while I LOVED this book, there’s a lot of really brutal shit in it that I’m not certain I can bear to watch on screen.

I’m a bit sad I think we’re done seeing child Sunja. Jeon Yu-Na is a great performer!
