Siwon has the most wonderful baritone voice - a shame and a crime to dub it!!!

I understand that they are dubbing for the Taiwanese audiences but there are international audiences like me and a few of us here who can actually understand both Korean and Chinese, hence we hate dubbing... A LOT! Why not keep the original languages (and voices) and just sub both languages to English for the International audiences???

This is why I have not been able to get back to this show. The dubbing. It's so distracting.

I would think they would not dub over Siwon's voice as he has very good Mandarin. He may be able to pull off the role w/o any dubbing. Donghae, on the other hand, it going to need it.

i personally am chinese
and while i hate the dubbing, i can see why they would
i usually just watch tdramas without subs
but i cant read chinese well
so if they were to keep korean and then sub in chinese
i would have alot of issues.
its easier to have it in chinese, for me.
because i dont understand korean.
though from what i know, siwon is apparently fairly good at mandarin
so i do not see why they would need to dub over him
he might be able to manage speaking in mandarin for drama
donghae is another story though
i wonder whose voice they're using though...

this is why i hate when korean actors or actresses are used in tdramas though
because its pointless. also they have plenty of talented actors in taiwan
there's rele no need to get random korean actors to act in tdramas.
i cant see how dramas like these will get high ratings
especially against dramas with talented actors and actresses from taiwan
like drunken to love you and sunshine angel~
hahaha rainie yang kicks park shin hye and goo hye sun's butts
because she's prettier, she can sing better, and her acting is wayyyyyyy better.

I have not gone back to this drama because I could not handle the dubbing. It annoyed me. Total waste of an actor. They could have just put in a good Taiwanese actor but they chose not too.

i know!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and so instead we get stuck with korean actresses who make me wanna smack them across the face because their acting isnt actually all that great which you realize when their voice is gone.
and this is why rainie is gonna be making a whole lot of money this summer~

I started playing minesweeper halfway through episode 6. Nothing against the dubbing or anything it was the story I lost interest in. Can't someone get kidnapped again that would be a whole lot more fun.

*Face-palm while raising hand. * Yes I'm still watching. Even thought it's driving me nuts I still keep going back because I started it in the first place so I'm going to finish it no matter what.

I will say, it's got to be the actress that's playing Maria but I felt no connection with her whole plot twist. (When she started to remember her past) I have no emotional connection to her at all anymore ... Actually I don't think I ever did. The only emotional connection I have to this show is ....... ............. ............. .
.........
.... Give me a minute i'm sure their was one at one time. . . .
........ . . . . . . my brain hurts.

OH YEAH! The guy teacher. I actually get a kick out of watching him.

Already seen it. This is the only Taiwanese drama I like so far.

This drama started my interest in watching Taiwanese drama again cos of Park Shin Hye. I then go on to watch Zhong Wu Yen which is a better drama than this one.
