Does anyone know what language Aha/Duo’erla/Dora/the Ourat people are speaking? I can’t recognize it, but…
I believe its one of the Mongolian tribes. I think their language is also called Oirat. Couldn't tell you they are really speaking Oirat or just gibberish. It should be around Xinjiang today.
As usual very long winded and it seems she really loved it and binged it but rates it based on the fact that she doesn't think it will be popular in China! OMG - what kind of a reviewer is she then? She really needs to work out the kinks of her rating system because if you are going to rate something, have an opinion that should be independent of what everyone else thinks! Shaking my head.
My understanding is Lurk was the last truly great spy drama coming out of China and there really hasn't been anything to compare since then. Its still on my PTW - has anyone watched it? Am tempted to watch it alongside Autumn Cicada but all that intrigue may be too confusing...
This was a very devastating time in history. Definitely sad and tragic times!!!! The first two episodes has already…
Yeah I suspect there are going to be quite a few flashbacks bc they killed off a few main characters at the beginning. Hope they handle it in a way that is not confusing. I guess one of the main plot threads is going to be around uncovering who is the traitor that leaked the Autumn Cicada identity to begin with.
It is available on both Youku and iQiyi VIP but on iQiyi its for Chinese subscribers only. Youtube supposed to have it too on the Mango TV site. I am sure someone will sub it and iQiyi will probably put it on their international site as well but I think it will be 1-2 weeks lag for translation. I am watching on Youku.
Please if you know any link with Eng. sub can you post it here? Thank you so much in advance!!!
It is on both iqiyi and Youku VIP at the moment. It is likely that iqiyi will make it available for international viewers as well but I suspect English version will lag 1-2 weeks. Sleuth of Ming Dynasty was like that too the Chinese site was 2 weeks ahead because that is probably how long it took to translate it.
But usually almost every drama set in this time period is a communist propaganda drama. But the first episode…
First few episodes were definitely more spy thriller heavy than propaganda heavy. It is hard to avoid it completely though because in this genre anyone who risks life and limb like that is a patriot.
Did you mean Simon Yam? I really like that guy, his acting is top notch. He played villain roles and even though…
Heheh yes Simon Yam - Freudian slip - I used to think of him as so super yummy. He was a great hero in a really old version Heaven Sword - I almost dropped the latest version cause the actor that played that role was so not yummy. :(
Oh excellent article!! And so glad you went with oldies but goodies, especially since we are inundated with articles extolling the current idols. Those pixs must be so much harder to find - totally loving seeing Ken Chang's young photos. I would add Simon Yum, Chang Chen and Chen Kun to your list. I am tempted to mention Mark Chao as well but maybe not, I think he still too much of a relatively current idol.
Can someone explain to me what exactly happened in the end?Did the lamp allow her to rewrite history or something?It…
It is not that clear but this is what I think:
The lamp may have turned back the clock and enabled them to start over again, this time without demon forces and it is significant that in this new or parallel universe the second prince is now the oldest prince so the bad guys don't exist. Either that or it sucked them into the painting that JY made ( Xiao Chuan went into it once and saw her family as they were before) but I think more likely time was turned back and they get a do over. That is where Yan Yan's identity becomes separated from that Xiao Chuan. That is why Yan Yan starts to forget JY and that is why Yan's Yan's maid's name is not Xiao Chuan but Xiao Chu or something like that. After all if none of the bad things happened, then Yan Yan never became the Xiao Chuan, who is actually the girl JY fell in love with and actually had a relationship with. If they somehow turned back time then all of that gets erased because it never happened (Yan Yan starts to forget as her new life takes a different turn once time passes the moment she became Xiao Chuan). All JY can do is to preserve and reunite with a memory of his Xiao Chuan in the painting. But I don't know if they are both just shadows or memories of who they were because he is an immortal he was never supposed to be with a mortal girl. I think it is a bit of a sad happy ending.
