Omg! I’m so glad you brought this up because I always wondered about the quality of the subs on Netflix. I don’t have it, but after finding out how many K-dramas are on there, I was curious about the quality of the subs–if they were accurate and specific/detailed.
I don’t know if the quality varies from drama to drama but for AOY, in just the first two eps there were translations that messed up key lines and jokes. Nothing that screws up anything really important, but still noticeable. I hope the other dramas might have better subs because Netflix has actually been good about getting more dramas lately, and their international content is growing. It’d be a shame if it was wasted on bad subs.
Oh that sucks, though. I love it when I get the little jokes and/or meta used in shows. For regulars like us, it kinda takes away from the drama-watching experience, but as long as the main idea for each scene and overall show is portrayed well, then it is what it is. That’s why we have DB for situations like that–to fill us in on the gaps that the bad subs left!

Netflix’s subs for Age of Youth are somehow worse that Dramafever’s. And everyone ranks on Dramafever.
