Okay, I'm really enjoying the work and family portions of this drama but - once again - Taiwanese guys don't seem to understand how to call someone from America. Get an international calling plan, Mr. Doctor-to-be, or simply write a letter. Even a postcard - "Hey, Chun Jiao, wish you were here with me - why didn't you come to the airport? Can you get a refund on that ticket? Love ya! Besos! Zai Qin"
The movie, Snakes and Earrings, is based on the novel written by the Japanese author Hitomi Kanehara in 2003. The 2007 film adaptation by Yukio Ninagawa is very good but just as dark as the original work.
Binged the first 12 episodes, and honestly, Shen Xingyi is a complete nutjob. I don't know if I can keep…
I keep checking in on Youtube for when the most recent episodes are up. Usually, that's late at night or early morning for me. What really is a torment is that no one is taking them up on the "Why don't YOU write the subtitles to help everyone learn how good this is?" Just bite the bullet and put up your own subtitles like some of the Thai channels do.

Xingyi is so completely spoiled at the beginning! He's got a lot of growing up to do. But he was pretty cute, too, trying to teach the other maids the threecups trick and then, finally, doing it forlornly on his own.
Okay, as I watching without subs, what's up with the creepy duo who keep meeting up with Shen Xingyi's…
Thanks - I was confused about the mysterious higher up - I couldn't tell it he was playing the different families against each other or what. I'll be looking forward to subs for all the legal proceedings as well.
Okay, as I watching without subs, what's up with the creepy duo who keep meeting up with Shen Xingyi's dad? The more dominant one (the boss? I think he may be the opera performer we see in previews) is cutting some sort of dubious business dealings and seems to like hanging around Wu Ping. What is going on here?
This was a surprise to me - the Hong Kong modern day portion is really not bad. The fight scenes are really good, too! Nice plug for Hong Kong Olympian Lee Lai-Shan who is a windsurfer from Cheung Chau where this show is set. Just entering the "past" times in episode 4 and they are a bit sillier.
Because her father asked her not to contact anyone because of his money problems - and then he died - could she not have called? He also had that same talk with her father - it was just all kinds of silliness that was part of the plot. And it's in the book as well. Sometimes tropes remain even when actual society and technology have changed. Anyway, the actor and actress were fine but the story was meh for me. Everyone has different opinions, though.
In her past, for sure, there's a lot of "I'll do this thing so you'll have a better life." What, like phones don't work both ways? Like Yo Chen couldn't say to her dad, "Lay off dude, it's her life?" Yes, there's a lot of cultural respect for parents but both of these people live in the modern day.
I watched it unsubbed on YTube and it was funny, sweet and fairly real. You know when there are lots of backgrounds and extras and not everyone/thing is perfect.
9/1/17 - I'm up to episode 6 now and this show needs subtitles ASAP! The story between the main characters is great - a lot of "rash actions cause opposite of intended reactions" - but it's getting a bit hard to navigate the business and family relationships without subtitles. I hope it's getting attention in China as well. Highly recommend this!
