If you see broken characters:
Understanding why you want a fixed Vietsub helps appreciate the film. The protagonist, Wilhelmina "Wil" Pang, is a Chinese-American surgeon hiding her lesbian relationship from her traditional mother. For Vietnamese viewers, the concept of "giữ thể diện" (saving face) is identical to the Vietnamese concept of "giữ sĩ diện" or "thể diện"—the social currency of honor and shame.
A broken subtitle ruins the delicate humor. For example, when Ma (the mother) says, "You think I don't know what a dyke is? I went to public school," a bad Vietsub might translate literally or miss the comedic timing. A fixed Vietsub preserves the wit, sarcasm, and emotional weight.
