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!π«‘β€οΈπ₯° I love all your sensible comments here in LTTG!π€β€οΈ
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.
yes ; that's puzzling with the 2 eps release every time, Friday, Saturday, Sunday indication on iQiyi. Maybe there's a mistake or iQiyi plans to release a different timetable later ? Otherwise, we're in until Oct16 or 21 if my computing is correct. Today Monday, there was no new episode release.
Well, no it is not that unbelievable to me. Fear of fire is not thatunusual as a phobia induced by a traumatic…
It does not look like Nan Xing had therapy for that fire phobia. We have no info about whatever treatment she could have had for PTSD. But she was able to hold a lit candle for her stepmom's birthday, so perhaps she only got triggered by high flames that emit burning sounds. A gas stove is not silent, so I suppose she would avoid it. But maybe not candles for special occasions and fireworks in the sky. I am not sure we saw her terrorized by thunder and lightning? Like some people I know who are strongly allergic (toxic shock) to some seafood like oysters, but can eat with no problem fish, shrimp, lobster and even mussels and St Jacques. Allergies and phobias can be weirdly peculiar.
And now we need to wait until Friday for new installments. Still 14 episodes to go, 6 total for Friday-Saturday-Sunday. I don't like to watch previews thatmuch, so I'll keep away until then. π
I was going with the flow until the FL explained her story about fear of fire. She was like i have to just avoid…
Well, no it is not that unbelievable to me. Fear of fire is not thatunusual as a phobia induced by a traumatic incident. There are waysto cope with it without needing cooks and maids. I am lucky I did not directly witness people on fire through accidents, kitchen gas leaks explosions, forest fire, or gasoline suicide. The answer to such a phobia can be : use electric burners and microwave, no garden bbq and preferably no wood burning in the chimney. It is possible to avoid open flames in kitchen to cook, or for heating.. And as for money, she says she is not rich but she inherited property and got loving support from the stepmom. So she is not destitute and can afford take-out (very cheap and common in China), or change from gas to electricity for appliances.
There's no mention of dubber on the wiki.d-addicts page, so I assume he is not. I am not very familiar with his…
Well, I hunted a bit for Chen ZY songs and interviews, and I found that one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3pjbQ-J0D0. Comparing with the ε₯½ε₯½ε₯½ζεε§ sentence with the ice cream cone at the end of #8, I'd say : not dubbed. π But you are right about remembering a different voice from former dramas since he was voiced by Su Shang Qing in Handsome Siblings (but there is no mention of dubbing voice in the other previous dramas recorded on dramawiki). It's interesting to listen to Chen ZY and Shen Yue singing together the theme song here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXJ9eijiEUM. Looking forward to find Chen ZY again in 2023 in announced Chinese Paladin 4 (with Ju JingYi), and in Hidden Love (with Zhao LuSi).
Wait till you watch 'a romance of a little forest ', it's an ongoing drama too ....you will pull all your hair…
Totally agree. Mr Bad is a breath of fresh air when this little forest had me gasping for air... I am still watching AROLF because am committed to stay "completionist", but have no expectation since SFL and boss are starting to make out. So boring. Therefore, strayed to the big bad wolf who always is so funny in cartoons : the title drew me, and I was happy to discover Chen ZheYuan : I will look up more from him, because he's won me over in the first 2 episodes already and now I'm eagerly awaiting #9-10 to keep being entertained. The trampoline bit was fun; the sharing ice cream was a bit expected, I'm waiting to see how much they smeared on each other's noses now and how they got rid of it (licking?) I ran to get one from the fridge for myself, but did not dare wake up hubby to share it that way ? Nice October 1st treats.... ?
