"The scion of a formerly wealthy traditional land-owning family Kim Ji-wan grew up an orphan raised by his step-mother and grandmother when his father died and his family lost its fortune. To provide for his family Ji-wan swallows his pride and uses nepotism to join Nuga Global, a multi-national medical appliances company. Ji-wan is initially grateful when Jang Tae-soo, Nuga's CEO and a friend of his late father, takes him under his wing. As the lives of Ji-wan's family and that of Tae-soo cross again long hidden secrets, such as how Ji-wan's father died and came to lose his fortune, begin to unravel. Desperate to protect the business and reputation he has built Tae-soo uses a secret that Ji-wan's stepmother has kept from Ji-wan and his grandmother."
This is the full set of 50 episodes with HARD-CAPTIONED English; that is, English subtitles are burned into the video. The episodes are each about an hour in length, the shortest being 59 minutes and the longest 67 minutes.
I patched these together using various sources & methods:
Ep. 1-14 came from YouTube with decent captions already, 720p (1280x720, 700 Kbps video, 128 Kbps audio)
Ep. 15 & 16 from a complete torrent from "Aigoo Subs", 360p (624x352, 1450 Kbps video, 256 Kbps audio)
Ep. 17-28 came from YouTube with decent captions already, 720p (1280x720, 700 Kbps video, 128 Kbps audio)
Ep. 29-50 came from YouTube with no captions, so I captioned these using Subscene.com's "720p-450p-XViD-WITH-iPOP-BarosG-LIMO-CHAOSrel" captions; 720p (1280x720, 800 Kbps video, 256 Kbps audio)
If you have uncaptioned episodes 1-28 that are at least 720p with decent quality, email me at
[email protected] if you're willing to make them available to me.
With Episodes 29-50, I...
- Converted the audio from its original mono to stereo (my Roku loses A-V sync with mono sound)
- "Softened" subtitled profanity (bastard --> jerk, damn --> darn, bitch --> wench etc.)
- Corrected commonly-found typos
- Used Subtitle Edit to find and fix all flagged issues
- Watched the episodes and made further corrections
- Re-processed the videos using Handbrake to burn the subtitles into the video
