Wish For Better Subtitles

I enjoy the romcom genre and I really wanted to love this movie. Everything is set up for a good movie (good actors, decent story). Maybe a little bit contrived, but that's what happens in romcoms.

I've read enough about bilingual speakers saying that English subtitles in Korean movies only show about 30% of what's actually said. After years of consuming Kdramas and movies, this movie is the first time I could tell I was missing out on a lot of the dialogue. I had to figure out what was being said based on context, but it still didn't work.

Context is fine most of the time, but in this case, it made for an on-screen connection being built that I couldn't see. On top of that, it was hard to understand the conflict towards then end, when most of the dialogue isn't shown.

I'm almost positive I would have given this at least a 7 or 8 if I could understand Korean.
