English transition is always far from the original text I swear. The English translation never has the same emotions that the original has.
there would be no reason for them to change the meaning when in Korean "like" and "love" are two different words, just like English. It's not like Japanese where "like" has nuance and could mean love.
I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count. Sometimes they interchange them to tone down the emotions of the characters when in the original works they clearly use the word love.
But I’ve seen it happen in Korean bl. That’s why I made this comment. I’ve seen it several times when the characters clearly use the word love or fall in love in the original works.
In one work I read the character said “I’m in love with you” and the English translation was “I like you”. I was shook.
Love definitely sounds wayyyy deeper.

If they change the “I love you” to an “I like you” I’m gonna riot. Because in the original they use the word love. Nakwon says “I love you” as in he fell in love with Mokhwa, not as if he only liked him. I hope they keep it that way in the English translation.
