I had this issue quite a bit when watching Pachinko. Multiple times I had to rewind because I had no idea what a character said

Haven't done that yet because we'd need English for the Korean bits and English and Korean for the Japanese bits. My kingdom for a streaming service that would support 2 subtitles on screen natively.

Doesn’t help with Apple shows, but for Netflix, there is a browser extension you can use to get two subtitle languages at once. I wish this was a built-in feature on all the streaming services.

Yeah but I'd like native app support so that it could be used from within the app on a smart TV. Just let me choose more than one subtitle and display them. Let me worry about screen real estate if you think it won't be optimal.

What device do you watch on?

I’ve had no problems with subtitles using an Apple TV

I was using Chrome on my laptop. Other browsers don’t seem to work as well and I have no smart tv tech

Sometimes the subtitles on pachinko would just make my whole tv freeze. I feel like they were trying to do something too complicated for their platform to handle.

I agree. I somehow made the Japanese dialogue in English, and the Korean was in Korean, and English subtitles for the Korean but none for the Japanese. I couldn’t figure out how to get it back to original audio with all English subtitles, and my tv didn’t like that it at all

So happy you're watching that. Honestly one of the straight up best shows I've ever seen, no exaggeration.

On the Apple TV device, multicolored subtitles were present for Korean and Japanese and they worked quite well, could this be an issue with a different streaming device?
