Hmmm, what with the Eye of Sauron and the volcanic activity, I kept wondering if Frodo was going to turn up to throw the ring into the fire 😂 ……a little too much copy and paste there.
Eh me too leh. Spent a year in Buenos Aires and worked with Brazilians as well. Was also pretty sure I heard them speaking Spanish too rather than Portuguese……and now confirmed I didn’t hear wrongly. Also Happy New Year!
For those who were obsessed with this show like me, have you found a new cdrama that you really enjoyed ? I haven't…
No still nothing. Am still rewatching parts of SOKP and checking out the Canto version every now and then.
ROTP is indeed very good with Chen Kun and NiNi, just stop watching at ep 50 and you’ll be ok. Other than that I’ve had to plug the hole with some kdramas.
Oh yes, am also watching The Mutations which is quite enjoyable if you’re into costume drama monster stories. But at 12 episodes only, not a drama to obsess over like SOKP……..
The international distribution sounds like a mess:https://www.dimsumdaily.hk/shanghais-cinematic-blossom-wong-kar-wais-epic-series-set-to-redefine-television-aesthetics/
According to this article:1. The Shanghainese version will air on WeTV2. The Putonghua version will air on CCTV.https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3245843/wong-kar-wais-blossoms-shanghai-tv-show-what-expect-how-true-it-stays-novel-its-based-and-how-fans
Aiyah, can't find it anywhere despite trying several VPN locations................
The most horrific monsters are the humans who treat their prisoners as test subjects. This is based on actual war crimes and biological experiments carried out by the Japanese army’s Unit 731 in WW2. The list of horrors they inflicted on their victims was exhaustive and insanely cruel, so there is extra poignancy for anyone watching this living in East and Southeast Asia. The creature may be stuff of sci-fi horror but this is actually a case where art can barely keep up with the truly horrific atrocities of mankind.

The Mutations isn’t a romance but it does have a swashbuckling female Portuguese ship captain….
