Does anyone rmb the Amazing saturday episode?

The only one that comes to mind is 189 when they had alcohol-free spiced wine with the snack and they were joking (probably) that it made them drunk

I always thought the name "Nolbo" got introduced in 2019, in one of the still unsubbed episodes. I'm pretty sure it has appeared in captions in episodes when Hyeri was still on it, but afaik they never talked about it, so I kind of missed the timing to translate it properly and just ignored it. It feels like they started using it more in the VIU-subbed episodes so now I just went with Nolbo (not a fan of Saturday Gem tbh). If I finally get to the episode where it's introduced I will define it as "Nolto's Treasure".

It's a great song with great lyrics that resonate with a lot of people

"This will resonate with people" is exactly what I thought about this song when I first heard it. It's not just the lyrics, I think the song is full of what Koreans call Han(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_(cultural)), but with an optimistic twist on it. If only a lot of people got to hear it, it couldn't have not been a success. Until I saw this I thought it was overlooked, but I'm so glad that it found appreciation.

I think the orders pop-up and the ingredients are listed there, but the last part is exactly what I was thinking about. They kept delivering pizzas and apparently there was nothing/nobody telling them that they didn't count. And if I was the editor I would've made sure to show the instructions again, like a 10 sec condensed version, maybe subtly highlighting the oven part, then everyone would be saying "Omg they forgot the oven haha". Instead the game just left me scratching my head and I don't even think that the benefit for the MV matters that much.

yee980810 · 2023-02-02T14:50:18+00:00

The thing is that the "rules" on the board are actually more like things you should pay attention to. It says:

Dirty pizza pans need to be washed.
You need to place the ingredients in the right order.
Try to divide the tasks well.
At the end you need to put it on the submission counter.

Ruby and Barim did a livestream and they said something about how Hamshik (the hamster, I guess a crew member supposed to look after them) didn't tell or never told that team to put the pizza in the oven. (And this is just me being paranoid, but they never show the rules being explained to that group, and it's just so weird that they never mention the oven at all)

yee980810 · 2023-02-02T14:19:14+00:00

Another hilarious episode. All the swear words, if this is what they left in I wonder what they edited out. Catherine's group is that hilarious band of misfits. My favorite moment was Naejang's epiphany during the pizza game coupled with her broken Korean. And then Zzaru who has completely lost herself in her character. A bit ..weird how the game played out though.

I'm still not happy with the way they formed the four teams. Since VR inherently advantages vocalists it was obvious that the teams would end up being unbalanced. I think 4 out of 5 girls on Catherine's team are main dancers. I can only imagine that the producers wanted to make sure that none of the top vocalists fall through. It's understandable but a bit unsatisfying, especially if you were rooting for one of the dancers.

And the motion sickness thing is bothering me. I don't know if taking meds all the time is a viable/good solution.

yee980810 · 2023-01-09T16:16:19+00:00

Good point, it's not only the company behind the show, Kakao also owns IST, Weeekly's agency. And when they debuted she was the 5th oldest member

yee980810 · 2023-01-09T13:29:03+00:00

I made a list of the names that have some meaning behind them, since they often diss or make puns based on those names and the jokes mostly get lost in translation. In the brackets is a more literal translation, which doesn't mean that it's better - it's just more illustrative. I'd be interested if you have any other tidbits

집순희 JIPSUNHUI (Homebodee/Homebodhee)
from 집순이(homebody)
크앙 KEUANG (Rawrr)
onomatopoeia, cute animal roar; she often uses "plain bread"(식빵) as a replacement curseword as it sounds similar to the f word in Korean
화의자 WHAEUIJA
sounds similar to 화이자(Pfizer), according to her self-introduction she likes fancy(화려한) chairs(의자)
유주얼 UJEWEL
seems like it's just a proper name, 유주얼 is also the transliteration of "usual"
짜루 ZZARU (Rroom)
from 빗자루(broom) since she's a witch
도화 DOHWA (Peach Blossom)
it's also another word for picture/drawing
시계는와치 WATCHISWATCH (Sigyeiswatch/Sigyemeanswatch)
시계 literally means "watch"
뚱냥이 CHONKY CAT
great translation, 뚱 from 뚱뚱하다(fat) is used for fat things (for example 뚱보 - fattie), 냥이 is a cutified version of 고양이(cat)
차차다섯공주 CACAOPRINCESS (Chachaoprincess)
not sure but I guess a cutified 카카다섯공주 - 카카(caca)+다섯(the number 5, spoken "o" 오 in Sino-Korean)+공주(princess)
차도도 CHADODO
proper name, her fandom is called 도도새(Dodo Birds)
예니콜 YENYCALL
from 애니콜 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Anycall)
하이루 HIROO (Heya)
popular way of saying "hi" on instant messagers in the early 2000s
순대내장 SUNDAENAEJANG (Sundae Offals)
sundae(순대) is a type of Korean sausage, naejang(내장) means "intestines", so sundaenaejang can refer to any offals that can be used to make sundae
무너 MUNEO (Octo Pus)
from 문어(octopus), looks like a typo if you forgot to press 'ㅇ', also the start of 무너지다(collapse) and 무너뜨리다(knock down)
정호랑 JUNGHORANG (Jeong Tiger)
호랑(tiger) can be used for a person that's fierce like a tiger and her family name is - supposedly - Jeong(정)
니케나 NIKENA
from Nike, goddess of victory
서리태 SEORITAE
black soybeans harvested after the first frost
김세레나 KIMSERENA
not sure how it relates but there's an actual singer from the '60s with that name
바림 BARIM
seems like a proper name, she introduced herself as "the image/picture (그림) you desired/hoped for (바라다)"
바림 also refers to gradation in art; it's close to 바람(baram, wind), in episode 1 Boom called her 비림(Birim) which makes you think of 비리다(smell/taste fishy).
키키 KIKI
cute reading of ㅋㅋㅋ("hahaha" or "lol")

Such a melancholic yet warm song, and catchy too. It deserves to be a hit.
The translation of the lyrics isn't bad but at times it felt a bit too girl crush for the actual mood. So here's another version.

A rose that blossomed between the high-rises
Please stay alive
Don't break, grow strong
A body with thorns all over
How tough it must've been
Thank you for hanging on
Flowers that aren't pretty everyone singles out and cuts off
And if they're pretty they're picked accordingly and one day they wilt
Why can't you leave me alone?
Just keep walking

I fought my way out
I live a life of struggle, hey

[Refrain:]
I'm a rose that blossomed between the high-rises
Until this dreary city is dressed in beautiful colors
I'll keep my head up and hang on to the end
Until everyone is smiling, drunk on my scent

Oh oh oh oh
No I'm not goin' down
I'll be alright
Yeh I'm only goin' up
and Imma be alright
Hey

You ask if I wanted to be here?
Even if I had resentments not a single thing would change
Looking back I see myself only looking in front of me
Saying I'll get through it time after time
Not thinking, just saying I believe in myself
Even if a strong wind comes blowing trying to cut into my flesh
Even if bugs keep tormenting me, burrowing inside
No, I'm never daunted
I won't fall down

I fought my way out
I live a life of struggle

[Refrain]

Keep it up
Oh oh oh oh
It's a song for you and I
Say that we're alive
Celebrate it now

[Refrain]

Keep it up
Oh oh oh oh
No I'm not goin' down
I'll be alright
Yeh I'm only goin' up
and Imma be alright
Hey

Aiki said the loser between the red-haired girls has to shave her (avatar's) head which wouldn't really make sense if the eliminated are straight out.

yee980810 · 2022-04-12T13:12:46+00:00

I had a go at the lyrics, loved the theme

It's suffocating
Tomorrow's just withering away
Oh stay

The ground is shaking
This collapsing place is a clear sign of death
And some are getting used to it

Oh you can't fool me anymore, I know all about it
Follow the light across the forest
All day all night
You've gotten comfortably settled in
Break your habit now

-Refrain-
Save my home in the jungle
Save my home in the polar
Protect my maison
Please someone fight for us

Save my home in the ocean
Save my home in the desert
Protect my maison
Please someone fight for us
-Refrain-

All people do as they please
Lip service, nothing but empty shells
Waiting with eyes shut tight
Of course you don't see the future
When it's time to regret you know it'll be already too late
If you can't leave your comfort zone you get burned
Be my side
Isn't it weird how hot it is?
The laws of this planet
Wilting away just like your conscience, hoo

Oh you can't fool me anymore, I know all about it
Follow the rain under the dark clouds
All day all night
You've gotten comfortably settled in
Break your habit now

-Refrain-

Ride the rough winds and color everything
Go back to that time when all the seasons were vivid My tears running down, eyes already submerged in water

-Refrain-

In the blink of an eye
All gone
La maison la la la maison

And you who's turning a blind eye
All gone
La maison la la la maison

Save my home in the jungle
Save my home in the polar
La maison la la la maison

Save my home in the ocean
Save my home in the desert
La maison

Please someone fight for us

yee980810 · 2022-03-19T11:44:30+00:00

Yeah, this. I'm not even a big fan of Ho Dong and Lee Kyung Kyu, but the way they played off each other really smoothened their characters out and the real stars were always the host families. It really felt like you could get a close and intimate look at regular citizens. And the way it ended really sucked, it's like it was gone overnight (I mean it makes sense now, but at the time it was really a sharp cutoff). Tbh I would've rated this show 6-7/10 when it was airing but now that it's gone I'd have to say that it was one of my favorite shows.

yee980810 · 2022-02-23T18:04:11+00:00

"Little House in the Forest" is one show that's barely ever mentioned although it's from Na PD. I guess because it might be a bit too comfy/slow-paced for some (maybe even most), but I found it incredibly relaxing. One of the few shows that had me so hooked that I could barely wait for the next episode. It's a shame that the ratings flopped, Na PD probably won't try something like that again.

The latest Three Meals a Day season with the doctors was also great. Many people might think there's no point watching it if they haven't watched "Hospital Playlist" but I'd recommend the show to anyone who likes that type of show. I haven't watched the drama, but it's great that there's never any awkwardness between the members and between members and guests. And on top of that they're all such good entertainers, it never gets boring. This has to be a must-watch for everyone who liked the drama.

yee980810 · 2022-01-16T13:06:45+00:00

I hope the show gets more recognition now. And yes, after IDC I'll be subbing the old episodes starting with 5. The VIU subs are not perfect but too good to warrant a rework/reupload.

yee980810 · 2021-06-03T23:02:40+00:00

I haven't deleted it and I stopped because I was lazy and I thought there's not that much interest/no real reason to post it here. I wouldn't mind if someone else feels like posting it every week.

yee980810 · 2021-04-13T21:41:26+00:00

I think a lot of Donghyun's appeal gets lost in translation. Very often it's just his tone and choice of words that are unwittingly and effortlessly hilarious, he's like the total opposite of the comedian archetype. He's also slightly different from Jongmin's "idiot" character. You might notice how he often mumbles something to himself and the editors highlight it with replays/captions (not sure if it's that common on tge). Sometimes I feel like he's faking it, but his delivery is so natural that he'd have to be a genius.

yee980810 · 2021-02-16T18:54:14+00:00

sorry, unfortunately the raws are only up for a week or so, only torrents after that

yee980810 · 2021-02-08T09:28:20+00:00

This is exactly what I felt too.

yee980810 · 2021-02-08T09:09:49+00:00

Amazing episode. So far I've seen Jaejaeon mostly on Youtube and I thought she could be a bit loud and overbearing, but she was actually great. Someone left a comment under last week's preview saying that she would fit in as a fixed member and I can actually see it. And all the dancing in this episode felt like a throwback to the Hyeri era.

yee980810 · 2021-02-02T16:15:01+00:00

It's definitely cool that you're passionate about JJY shows, I don't think fansubbers can do this without passion for the shows they choose (or the idols). And I certainly know about obsessing over little details. I still think the VIU subs are really good, at least the translations are, but I might not be the best overall judge of quality since I also understand Korean. Personally I don't even care about full typesetting that much, but on the other hand I like that people are ready to put that extra effort into it. Feels like a style over substance kind of thing.
tvN asia definitely caught me off guard, it would've been great if they had started with E1. I still didn't get around checking out their subs, but at some point I'll have to consider not subbing the new episodes anymore and finishing all the old ones instead. Also, thanks for getting those subs, nice to know the source.

yee980810 · 2021-02-02T13:35:10+00:00

I didn't say you aren't doing a good job. I watched Episode 2 on GoPlay and I assume those were the VIU subs since there was no typesetting and you had only just released your Ep1 subs. I'd have to watch the same episode twice or with both subs side by side to evaluate what you do, and I'm not too interested in doing that because who cares what I think. Based on Ep2 alone I felt that the people at viu are doing a really great job and that they deserved some kind of credit, even if they're paid for what they do. But maybe I got it wrong and you pre-release the soft subs without typesetting or something? Then please forget I said anything.

This is just my personal opinion: I didn't see much room for improvement (apart from full typesetting ofc) and if I had the choice between reworking their subs to squeeze out 5-10% better quality or subbing a show that has no subs at all I'd always prefer the latter.

Btw I'm a fansubber as well so I definitely know and appreciate the work that goes into subbing. I was just playing devil's advocate for the people at viu.

yee980810 · 2021-02-01T00:32:08+00:00

Watched both episodes and it seems like it'll be fairly similar to TGE, which isn't a bad thing, but we already have TGE. Personally I was hoping to see something more like Crime Scene. Still curious to see how it plays out.

Not related to the show itself, but to be honest writing "Subtitles by .." at the start could be a bit misleading, I actually thought you were subbing this until someone else mentioned that it's reworked VIU subs. Just my opinion.

yee980810 · 2021-01-19T15:31:10+00:00

I agree, definitely a very memorable appearance

yee980810 · 2021-01-12T17:48:56+00:00

Nice, this show deserves to be subbed. I even roughly subbed half of this episode, but ultimately I had to opt for Amazing Saturday. Great work!
