Manual subs now available on Dramanice. I don't know about WeTV because it is not available in my region (UK)

Manual subs now available on Dramanice - currently up to ep. 10. I don't know about WeTV because it is not available in my region. (UK)

This is just a thought but, based on what I have seen thus far, I think that the best friend could have already turned on the prince - but we have yet to see why. It could just be the writers trying to trick us.

That's ok. I tend to watch dramanice when more recent episodes are not yet available elsewhere. Bear in mind that Viki might also have manual subs for dramas which only have auto subs on Dramanice / Dramacool, etc.

Yes. Not just me then. Thanks.

Is anyone else picking up strange vibes from the best friend? A red herring perhaps?

As a FEMALE academic, I would be interested in knowing why you think that cross-dressing, especially when used in HISTORICAL dramas, is stupid. If you do not like this particular trope, then just say so. Also, as I am inclined to think that your use of the word 'stupid' is not intended as constructive criticism of a literary motif but is a throw-away adjective used incorrectly as a slur, I will not assume that your comment was intended to be chauvinistic.
For a simplistic explanation of why cross-dressing is used (or, I will cede, is overused) please see the following.

Oh. Ok. Thank you for your timelu reply.

I wonder where you are watching it. There are many dramas that I will not watch because they have extremely bad auto subs. But Ye Cheng on Yoyo English Channel has manual subs that are no worse (imo) than most dramas. You are not the first person to complain about the subs. I do not understand this. What am I missing? What is so bad about them? Constructive comments please.

Did she save his life when they were children? See ep. 10. As I do not understand Chinese, I will have to wait until Yoyo subs it.

Thank you for your timely and comprehensive reply. Although I watch many historical/costume dramas I do not think of my self as a 'fan' and I do not usually concern myself with the world of fandom. This is why I don't know anything about such matters.

Could you please explain your remarks re scandal and author or provide a link to a site in English where I can get this information?
Thank you.

I have never replied to a comment online - until now. By your critera, I, because I eat meat, am a hypocrite and a cruel person. How does eating meat or fish equate to hypocrisy? How does the doing thereof become synonymous with cruelty? Your arguement is spurious. Please get an education and learn how to argue logically and intelligently.
