She is from Taiwan. They always dub non-mainland actors.
Yeah, voice dubbing is also a norm when a mainlander has a strong regional accent or dialect. Some people learn to remove it through a voice coach or through training at a performing arts university.
Otherwise, Dubbing is often used when there is a lot of background noise at the filming location. Rather than getting high-tech equipment to remove the sound and do tedious editing, it is better cost-wise to add the voices in later. It can take 1-2 weeks to dub a drama.
I just binge watched the first six episodes and I really enjoyed it. It's basically a typical lakorn but shorter…
I did too. It's a pretty light and easy watch compared to many other Thai dramas. I wish I had read ahead the next will episode skip a week and won't air until the 21st. Ahhh the wait...
My understanding is that only the V.QQ VIPs that get all 30 today. The VIPs for wetv and tencent only get 2 per day T-TH until the 22nd. Those watching for free will have to wait until the 29th. I could be mistaken.
So, the drama ended earlier than planned -- it finishes at Episode 43 as aired by China Zone. I hope that this…
It is also 43 EP on TV. There was no difference between what was shown on Youtube and the TV networks. It may have been edited down to meet the TV network's schedule.
It started out really good, but the last episodes were rushed...the story began to feel disjointed after he was…
I agree with you. The last few episodes did feel rushed and choppy at times, especially compared to the pace of the first half. It was supposed to be a 45 ep drama but only ended up being 43. I have a feeling they decided to edit out parts of the last 10 episodes to work with a TV network airing schedule. Maybe one day there will be a director's cut, including these parts. The end could have been more satisfying, but it was still a good drama overall. I would love it if there was a 2nd season. One where DK is the captain and the trainees are now working on the ship.
do the main leads break up?how is the chemistry between them? happy ending?
It depends on perspective. I think some people had issues with the FL. I didn't mind her and felt by the end of the story she matched the ML well. You see their relationship woven into the storyline. It's not the only topic being focused on nor are they the only people, so their love story is sometimes in the background other times it is front and center. Some characters in the story are present throughout the whole drama, others only pop in here and there, while some are only visable for a few episodes. Overall it's an interesting production, I don't think I have seen anything like it before. It's definitely worth watching IMO.
I am not upset. My parents are 11 years apart, grandparents 16 and great-grandparents 24...Still, the rival makes…
Age as a NUMBER isn't my issue, but mental age and maturity are. I don't have a problem with a big age difference between the FL and a ML in most cases. He could be 25 years older and still give the "feeling" he was only 10-15 years older than he really is. Older men can be romantically attractive, especially if they are self-confident and protective. In this case, the rival gives the vibe of being clingy, creepy, and insecure, which is the direct opposite of the ML. This makes the age (metally and maturity) gap between him and the ML only grow further apart rather than shrink. As rivals, I would prefer the mental and emotional age between the two men were smaller. I would have liked to have seen a stronger, more self-assured, and energetic rival, one that doesn't feel like he was TRYING (covering up his insecurities) to come off as an old man trying to be younger and cooler than he really is...I would ideally like a rival who I wish can live happily with the right girl in the end, rather than one that makes me cringe every time I see him on the screen. Who knows we can't always get the characters or actors we like, maybe it's the intention of the writer to turn him into a stalker, and it's all intentional... time will tell...He's just not my cup of tea.
The people in the comments who are so upset about the age gap of the 'love rival' are either very young or have…
I am not upset. My parents are 11 years apart, grandparents 16 and great-grandparents 24... Still, the rival makes me uncomfortable. He is 24 years older than the FL. In some dramas the actor can pull it off looking more youthful and energetic, the age gap doesn't feel so big or strange, it fact it can be charming and romantic. He is 28 years older than his competition. In this case, the rival's personality comes off as insecure and creepy in comparison to the ML, his only age amplifies the differences between them... Then again maybe that is the whole point of the writer, it could be this actor's vibe... IDK... Personally, I wish they had chosen a person with a slightly younger more confident energy as a rival. Someone I could imagine as a potential threat, rather than a pesky annoyance.
unless we keep requesting viki to licensed and subbed this drama
It's an option but it all depends on if they are granted permission to buy the licensing, even if they seek it, it doesn't mean a deal can be worked out.
