Hi everyone, I'm Fang. I've been thinking about getting a small procedure done in Korea recently, but my Korean is really basic, and it's quite difficult for me to read reviews. For many comments, I have to rely on translation software, and sometimes the translated meaning feels a bit strange... Has anyone else encountered this situation?
I'd like to ask everyone, how do you determine if a review is genuine and trustworthy? Are there any obvious red flags I should look out for? For example, are there some reviews that just look particularly fake? I'm a bit unsure how to tell right now and worried about getting ripped off.
Also, besides reading reviews, are there other ways to learn more? Like getting recommendations from friends, or asking people who have been there before? I know everyone's experience is different, but I'd at least like to hear more diverse opinions. Can experienced friends give me some advice? Thank you all!

Hi Fang! I completely understand your concern; I felt the same way when I first started 😅 My little suggestion is, besides reading written reviews, you could also look for before/after photos. They usually give a more intuitive understanding of the results. Also, I've found that sometimes it's easier to understand if you look for shares from Taiwanese, Hong Kong, or Macau people on local social media, as our ways of expressing ourselves are quite similar. If possible, asking friends who have undergone the procedure can also be very helpful – personal experiences are truly the most valuable reference! Keep going!
To Fang, I understand! I had the same concerns. Translation apps can be really hit-or-miss sometimes, right? 😅 By the way, is the treatment Fang is considering a popular one in Japan too? If so, do you notice any differences between the reviews in Korea and those on Japanese review sites? I thought it might be helpful 🙂
Hi Fang! I'm also considering a small procedure in Korea and totally understand your dilemma 😅 My experience is that when looking at reviews, don't just rely on machine translations. Try to find posts with pictures or videos, as they offer a more visual understanding of the real situation. Also, I think asking more questions in the community, just like you're doing now, often leads to more honest feedback, which is more helpful than just looking at heavily edited comments.
