The White Truck of Doom

sometimes I think a subber will throw in an "easter egg". I was watching a Chinese drama I think, and they were talking about receiving a telegram (that period of history) and the subber posted it as email. Cracked me up.

I'm very grateful to people who do translations. And if a drama is in middle of subbing, I'll usually wait till it's all subbed before starting is, so as to marathon it. Except for The Story of Yunxi Palace, I couldn't wait for the subs all the time so ended up re-watching some eps to find out what I missed.
Thank you for what you do!

tried to watch but find the first episode boring. At what point does it get better?

maybe if I skip the first episode I might like it?

no. It was years ago it was on Netflix I believe around 2015 or earlier. It was the first Asian drama I had ever seen. After that I was hooked on Asian dramas of all types.

so "Queen Seon Duk" was my very first Asian drama! Saw it incidentally on Netflix and was wowed. Absolutely.

filled out the request form.. thanks

whoa 17! Pretty amazing.

Loved him in Story of Yanxi Palace. So much character development and he was just so natural .

I'm up to Ep 10. I keep falling asleep when watching this drama. I want to like it because of Bolin Chen. The female lead lacks charisma. I fast forward her scenes. The Princess is apparently dubbed by a giddy 5 year old girl. I fast forward through her scenes. The Prince is another person who ads nothing to the drama. FF those too. There's a lot of FF.

oh my gosh this is exciting news. Thank you so much. It amazes me - it takes a tremendous amount of work for a single episode.
Thank you for bringing this amazing world to so many.

Checked the link and the episodes stop at 42. Is that all eps? I keep reading that it's 48 eps. Don't want to start it if I can't finish. Thanks in advance for your reply. :)

this is the one time I think that 3 people truly belong together.
And it was about love, not something else. I liked this part of story better than the rest.

now I see what the problem was for me - "emotional investment".
I wanted to like the drama but I just couldn't get a strong attachment to the characters.
Thanks for putting it into words.

So when female lead's friends can't tell it's her when changes her hair and wears glasses?
No one can tell? But we the viewers can?

I'm not fond of harems in a drama either. I don't watch many harem/palace because I find it hard to enjoy them. It certainly doesn't seem romantic - but it is based on that culture or time.
it's ok to drop a drama if part of it ruins it for you. Dramas are for fun. I drop dramas for all sorts of things.

does anyone know where to find with Eng subs? Maybe PM me or post in comment and hide as spoiler.
Thanks!

thanks, just saw that. Makes it more watchable.

20 eps that are 10 minutes long each? Basically a movie then.

It turned out that the real trigger for the death of the gentle Empress was when Fu Heng's wife boinked the emperor then told the Empress about it.
Pretty awful. So yes the emperor was guilty too.
