All of the previous links to subs here have since stopped working, so I cobbled together something. It's AI transcription and translation, so it's quite rough in places, but it's better than nothing. You can watch using the official YouTube links if you add the OpenSubtitles Chrome/Chromium extension to your browser, which lets you add subtitles to streaming videos - very handy! Otherwise you'd need to download the videos on your own to view with subs in a player like VLC. If you want a link to the subs, DM me. I found a YouTube playlist for official links, of which this comprises the first two episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL97JAmTQ47DxOYYQz3hEfy6GNfr8FHU16
Anyone else notice Tonnam (Sig in LITA, Dr. Sing in Dear Doctor, etc.) as the phone repair salesman, and Pepper (Saifah in LITA) cameos in episode 10? Tonnam is in everything this year; it's crazy!
Lol the moon rabbit maybe? Yai bad plenty of moon imagery in season 1. But the tortoise and hare are very much a western idea and this is deeply eastern so maybe no one. Or maybe Nine will finally get a reciprocated love interest and tie in with Tao that way. I'm not super well versed in Chinese mythology, and the four main animals are already in play. Maybe they'll branch out to the zodiac, which would give plenty of material for more seasons. We'll see!
Better not be unnecessary drama. Due to the "Turtle" introducing himself at the end of s1, maybe it's about the…
Its part of east asian mythology. They represent yin and yang, the four cardinal directions, etc. Tiger (Yai), Dragon (Mangkorn), Phoenix (Hong), and now turtle (Tao) complete the quartet.
I gotta say, if Nan is purposely staying away from the public when he his with this poor girl I'm gonna get the…
I think he was making a joke about how they started talking in the fall around the start of the school year, and now it's the spring term, after New Year's when the Sadika Club fire happened.
I keep checking back here to see if anywhere has found subs. I can only find the unsubbed YouTube official channel playlist ( https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB3D58ooy0M56QBP_t3T5z0pYSuLNXzt6 ). Anyone who's watched it, does the cinematography improve at all? The first few minutes looked like something from the 90s.
Anyone know of a legitimate streaming service where this is currently available? It's gone off Netflix for a while now, and I checked everywhere I could think of with no success. Not on Viki, Amazon Prime, iQIYI, Tencent, Youku, Viu, etc., at least in tbe US. I've got a VPN to most countries if it's region locked. I prefer licensed sources whenever possible to support the production company, but I'm running into dead ends for this one.
Oh man. My first Jdrama was Gokusen, that I downloaded thinking it was the anime. I was immediately interested, and watched a few more until Hana Yori Dango really cemented it. I've since branched out to several other Asian countries' media - mostly as different remakes of shows I like do the rounds - which allows me to pick and choose my favorite concepts from each country rather than devouring anything with subs like we did in the old days. Japanese content is still a challenge to source sometimes, but I'm glad there is a steady source of subbers. Netflix has even picked up a few titles and produced some great ones of their own now!
With Japanese content you really get one of two options: cartoonish overacting, usually for manga adaptations, or hyper-real dramatic performances worthy of an Oscar. There really isn't middle ground. lol If you can get past the cartoonishness you'll find a plethora of heartwarming, uplifting shows... or ones that will tear your heart out with tragedy. Again, not much of a middle ground. Either way, you're in for a treat!
I really enjoyed both of these dramas. Love O2O has long been a comfort drama of mine, and You are my Glory will probably join it, really anything by Gu Man. Not because they are cinematic masterpieces or have great acting, but because they are low-stress, fluffy, and full of eye candy. When life gets too overwhelming, sometimes you just need to retreat into a drama where the world is always rosy, you never worry about the main couple, and everyone has perfect hair. Pure escapism at its finest. I saw Love O2O in a collection on Viki titled "Life Goes Right", which perfectly sums it up. If I want to watch something poignant and deep and cinematic I'll revisit Gaya Sa Pelikula / Like in the Movies. This fills an entirely different craving.
As a trans guy that has long been obsessed with gender-benders (namely because they are upbeat rather than tragic like most western offerings until recently), thank you for writing this thoughtful and respectful article. It's been a joy to read through the conversations in the comments. If you haven't already, I highly recommend the Taiwanese drama Bromance as my personal favorite, namely for how well it handled the love interest questioning his sexuality and also how family and friends react to everything. Enjoy!
most cross dressing you can't even believe people would be fooled by that but The King's Affection at least its…
That one does it better than average, yes. The child actor in the first episode was especially good with the voice work. Kudos to whoever is the vocal coach for teaching proper lowering without damaging your voice!
Watching dramas with my partner is a riot. We got to the part in ep 13 where she says "You made me flower," and he busts out with this gem: "Does that mean he will deflower her?" 😂
