Do YOU watch foreign language movies with subtitles or dub them in English? (nord.pub)

I watch them with the original language enabling subtitles instead, as for example: watching Korean movies dubbed into English (also with bad lip sync) is just weird in my opinion but I know a few people who do this for various reasons: hate how the original language is spoken, or dislikes the audio (due to accent) so they dub them in English, however the cultural nuance is gone since the original audio language conveys what is intended to be expressed.

I watch everything with subtitles, foreign or not.

Same, I got tired of rewinding and turning on subs just to figure out what someone mumbled in a scene.
