Surprise! I’ve subbed the first episode. I can’t make any promises on when I’ll get to episode 2 since my endometriosis is keeping me on my toes every day atm, but please enjoy this one episode for starters at least. I’m more active on my personal blog @isaksbestpillow
Not asking for anything in return, just please refrain from reuploading my subs. Feel free to reblog. I appreciate feedback as long as it’s not too mean haha. I had to translate by ear so there were a couple of bits were the audio was a bit unclear but nothing major has been lost. I haven’t seen the Gagaoolala subs so I don’t know how mine compare.
Please look at the pinned post on this blog if you don’t know how to download. The video plays on VLC Player.
Some notes:
健康診断 is a yearly health checkup organised by schools, workplaces and municipalities. Participation is often compulsory. It’s great to stay on top of your health but there is also an undeniable fatphobic element to these checkups so if you find discussion of weight fluctuation very triggering please proceed with caution.

I love learning about other culture’s Houseguest Protocols but I hate hate hate when they don’t match up cause like
I (PNW Canadian, raised with etiquette from my old British great-grandparents) sleeping over: Can I help with dinner. Can I do the dishes. PLEASE let me do something useful. Im sorry I’m here. I can sleep on the floor it’s fine. You don’t need to cook for me I can go outside and drink pond water. Do you hate me
My friend (Indian, raised by entire extended family in Dubai) hosting me: Why won’t you let me feed you. Do you need more coffee. Am I doing something wrong. Do you have enough blankets? I will buy you warmer clothes. Here, you can sleep in my room, I’ll take the couch. Why are you crying? Oh God am I a bad host
