He does have a good personality on air. That's why so many of those assholes in the comments are acting like he owed them something beyond a couple of hours of boyfriend role play. He puts on a good act at school and for his show, good enough that even the hint of a life outside of it has caused him to lose viewers.
I'm grateful for the translations because we've fallen behind, but sometimes they miss tiny nuances that change the context. Like in the latest chapter we thought Jiwon said "It's not like I can't live without sex" but really he was saying "It's not like I can't live without *him*". So it's possible DG was just talking about how whenever Alex returns he'll be number one again because he's special on air. But in truth DG liked Jiwon's personality, the real one anyway. He only got small glimpses of it but it was still there.
It's not a dig at you and your translations so don't take it personally. That's why I responded to the other comment. I was saying that it's possible the "good personality" DG was talking about was in context IF he's talking about Alex as a broadcaster. That was my point, not that your translations are trash. Context always gets a little lost when moving from one language to another, and you said yourself that you're still working at getting better, so making snap judgements about what the characters say before we even get both translations to compare probably isn't helpful.
Also the translations on Mangago are actually translations from Lezhin, not a scanlator working for free, so I don't know how accurate that statement is about it not being as accurate as possible. It seems the company has a dedicated and paid English translation section and that who ever is uploading them here is paying for that translation like I do.
Yes they are pretty accurate but when a text is being translated into another language it is s sure that something of its originality will be lost, you can't help that!
Anyway (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ. My aim is that you just get a clear picture of what is happening in every chapter. Korean is so hard to learn ugh.
Oh trust me I understand. It's actually pretty fascinating just how much can get lost because of cultural divides and the way they affect language. You see that for example when people translate Hebrew to English for the Bible and stuff. The translator always has to make a choice so there's no such thing as a truly objective translation, I agree.
You do a great job so please don't take it like I was criticizing your work. I know Korean is super hard to learn, and I also appreciate you summarizing what's going on for those of us feening for new chapters now that we're 2 behind. I do still pay for them when they come out, I can't resist checking in here each week now that I've caught up. My comment was strictly in regards to the comment scoffing at Alex having a good personality according to DG. I even get that because we all know Jiwon can be a bastard, but i figured I'd just drop a line to say we might get a better idea when the official chapter is out, and then cited an example for why I thought that.
Hello dear fujoshis! This is the translation of the new chapter. I don't know Korean very well, I'm still learning so this is all that I can do for now. So... Again

(Dg s life is getting back to normal. He is currently recovering)
Dg s room : Phone is ringing.
Dg :hello?
Chanwoo :Dg!!! Where are you??
Dg: oh god, I'm at home..
Chanwoo :Oh dg it must be so difficult to kill time alone... Come to eat!
Its not fun not to drink with you... Boored
Dg:I don't think it's a good idea to drink together, it would be better...
Chanwoo :DG! I'M ALWAYS TAKING CARE OF YOU AND I'M NICE TO YOU! So now I WANNA SEE YOU! CAN YOU? Pay attention to this dummy...
Dg :(uhh)
(He goes to a Chinese restaurant. Its the same he had gone with Alex some time ago)
Dg:Uh... This place...
(memory of Alex saying :Have sex with me)
Dg:... This is the place I was meeting with sunbae.. Here I am again...
Receptionist :I'll take you to the room 9.
Chanwoo :Dg! You are here! Hiii!!
MD :Dg, how are you...?
Dg :!
Chanwoo :We are celebrating that MD is in the first place in the bj ranking, above Alex!
Dg:Ah... Congratulations
MD :haha thank you... But I think it's not comfortable for you to talk about these things...
Dg: concerning this... I was the one who interrupted the broadcast... But now Alex doesn't matter to me.
MD and chanwoo :....
Chanwoo :listen? Dg has forgotten about him thanks to whom??
Md:haha chanwoo, I believe you are drunk.
You are fine with all this? You seem a little disappointed...
Dg :No I'm fine, I'm fine. I have no problem with this. Also, I was a simple fan, nothing could happen...
Chanwoo:Ah please it wasn't your fault! He has also a lot to do with these, don't blame only yourself!
Dg :aah no I was the one who made a mistake... And now the damage is done.
...
Chanwoo :yeah now don't bother! Forget it!
(they are eating) *
Md:You know dg... Now I'm in the place number 1. But soon Alex will come and take it again. Can you tell me what is it that makes him attractive?
Dg :Well... He.... Is handsome... Has a nice body... Has a good personality... He is good at sex,too...and when he whispers to you with this sexy voice of his... It feels like you re gonna melt... Alex... There is no one like him.... I think he can become no 1...again... Ah
I'M SORRY! DID I SAY SOMETHING WIERD?
Chanwoo :you speak the truth in front of md, eh?
MD :You are right. When Alex shows up, he ll take back his place.
Dg :No no, I'm. Sorry, I had no intention to...
MD:I have to admit it, Alex is special! I don't think the mistake you made will be fatal for Alex. He will continue to broadcast like nothing ever happened. You can go to talk with Alex later. If this happens, accept his apology.
Its better to finish things nice and easy than having a bitter ending.
Dg :yes...
MD :let's go now?
Chanwoo :Dg did you eat a lot?
Dg :yea. One moment, I'll go to the bathroom.
Chanwoo :where do you go? OH wanna go for a second round later?
MD :ANOTHER?
(dg is going to the bathroom. Accidentally he falls onto someone)
Dg: Oh I'm sor...
(he sees that it's jiwon sunbae)
Dg :... Ry
Dg :SUNBAE?
Alex : ( surprised face)
