The original is in iqiyi too with english subs (perhaps only for selected regions?)
Indeed, Meet Me @ 1006 is on iQiyi too, rated 9.4 by audience there : and it is available to all aliens in deep space region. Maybe I'll grow another head to watch it too to compare : the beginning is slightly different, there is no heavy duty exotic trophy wielding for murder in the Chnese remake (not yet, at least). ๐ Btw, 191 Earthlings rated that remake to a 9.6 on iQiyi, currently. Not half bad !
I watched it here:: https://kisskh.me/Drama/Seal-of-Love?id=5984&q=true
Yes, ty, it's easily watchable there too. So this was from August, and now we"ll have to wait for what's going to happen next in S2 ; anyone got news about this? ๐
Agree with flabbergast. The first 3 episodes did not warrant such severity. Let's see if my favorable rating at this point will bring this up by tomorrow... Or what influence it'll have in balance with the 4 voters who already don't like and hastened to rate before the show could find its audience. I am curious to see the results of my provisional 9.5 vote. (Ok, I may end up adjusting this later, but at the moment, I have no complaints, so will bravely contribute a candy to help that underrating be amended, to climb some points. if you also like, why not join in the test ?).
I was curious about this, although I should perhaps have checked the Taiwanese original first? But I am too lazy to hunt it down, so I'll just watch this remake. If it's as good as -different category- You Are My Destiny, I do not expect to be bored. (I was quite interested in the part on the Huaniao island for that other drama: the blue and white colors reminded a lot of Santorini and I was not the only one who noticed it ; it was nice traveling virtually this way... the settings were part of my enjpyment, then.) Back to the new "Love In Time" : why use a name that was already used in recent years for an easily forgettable contract marriage story ? MDL has this page wired as "my-secret-roommate" which would have been more fitting.? Anyway, the first two episodes are on YouTube but I swapped to original platform because subtitles were somewhat jumbled on YT, with a "love love love" line that belonged to the bg music song and not to the character talking ๐คจ There were music notes before those song lines but the subtitles speeded by so fast that it created a ... (sort of) time overlap confusion when my tired brain clicked on the show around 22:00 UTC! Episode 3 now : 6 are released on iQiyi VIP; and well, rather enjoying the story, although I don't know where this will be going. Actors look nice, eyes and body movements convey the disquiet of the two caught in the strange situation. The time overlap between 10:06 pm and 10:42 pm has been established and even filmed (!) iI caught a glimpse of Dai GZ too, but it was not yet quite clear to me what his role would be. Not something like in Maid's Revenge, that's obvious ๐ (Since this meshes with the description, I think it's ok to leave this first impression here without a spoiler tag?) There's mystery, perhaps science, certainly science-fiction : I am along for the 'ride" !
Starting on this quick short short drama from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6A1RKOUmHc So far, looks good. QingChen is looking for a Xiyun ?!!! I was rewatching LFBAD a few minutes ago: coincidence ? But it looks like only 3 episodes are posted as yet, on YT.
your wish was granted : there are now subtitles for all 36 episodes, when I checked. Cannot vouch for that they are any better than the ones we found at first in eps 1-6.
@Levitate14 and @CloudA ,you have my respect!๐ซกโค๏ธ๐ฅฐ I love all your sensible comments here in LTTG!๐คโค๏ธ
Hi CloudA! I started Hu Tong with quite some expectations but was so disppointed about the incredibly bad subtitling which anyway stops abruptly at the end of ep6. Since it is more difficult for me to do without them, although I could read the Chinese subtitles and just listen, I've put it on hold with some disappointment. Did you watch it completely and if so, what do you think, how did you like it? To me the first episodes are very in line with the old 1940-1950s Chinese movies I watched in the past, and the documents and biographies I read that are tied to the period. In my mind, there are also echoes of the epic Red Detachment of Women (I love the ballet version) and similar red heroines stories : poor girl and work to get free of mobsters and men who enslave servants and concubines... ZlS's leaps and kicks were spectacular. The street food had me reminded of lao BJ dishes that I once had in those neighborhoods, although I hung out more in Haidian near Qinghua, Dongcheng near Beixinqiao, or Houhai, and only on occasion roamed down to Tianqiao and further south in their old hutongs. There was little snow in the winter, but the freezing temperatures had so many enjoy skating and sliding on the lakes, where swimmers also still exercised even after the heat of summers passed. The parks and temples were packed full for festivals, otherwise, mostly the playground of older people taking their caged birds along to get fresh air, or to play chess, sing, do water calligraphy... I joined the local community center in my neighborhood for free classes in Chinese landscape and flower scroll painting and qigong practice. Up till now, only in the movie Sunflower did I see a really good depiction of Beijing common hutong and siheyuan life style.

There are two compilations of full S1 and S2 episodes included in the playlist
ๅฏๆ I am busy with other things so I have little time for drama watching unfortunately, but I will keep the Hu Tong in mind for whenever ๐
