Interesting sneak peek of Hu Ge's speaking English in this drama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8FCKfgwD1o
Ah right, so sorry - I thought when you said you came from Asia....anyway, I will stop digging now and move on. lol! Your Australian friend has my undying respect as I am struggling with only two (although I do know a few phrases of Chinese that I've picked up from various dramas). But to learn three is amazing - I think my brain would explode if I tried that. XD
Does anyone know what happened to Rodtang and Nine? I don't see them in any of the promotional posters.
@thatseelyah - no one's upset with you. You're just being kind enough to let us know the information you've been given. There's nothing wrong with that - personally, I appreciate it because, whether right or wrong, youve chosen to kindly share something about a drama and its cast we all like. Regardless of why he's left, it's sad for us that he has; if because of scheduling conflicts it's understandable and still sad. If it's because of his sexuality then it's unfair and still sad. Either way, he's left the drama and now we have to move forward and hope his replacement for the role of Nine is as good as he was at the portrayal.

It says personal reasons - has he said it was because he came out as gay? As there's no indication to any reason in the statement. If it is because hes gay it seems hugely unfair given his own character is gay.

@S.. - Ah, right, I got you. It's weird because the original actor of Nine is the one listed. Honestly the studios really need to sort themselves out and be a bit more professional. I hope they don't 'backseat' them and make their story more of a minor sideline - they were great characters in series one and I really liked them as a couple.

@mila - so an actor, who plays a gay character, came out as gay and they fired him? That's just stupid! Surely they know, from the fans reactions, they wouldn't care either way? Studio bosses are so dumb.

He's doing pretty good with speaking English - at least he's trying, how many of us from the West can speak Chinese, Japanese or Korean without sounding the same with our own accents? I'm only learning to speak Japanese and Korean and it's NOT easy - I KNOW I'm speaking it badly because of my English accent, but I'm hoping to get better. So people should NOT diss him for doing it, he's pretty good and clearly trying his best.
He's a good actor and I'm surprised he's only doing guest roles or supporting roles. I thought he was excellent in Loving, Never Forgetting. Very underused which is a shame.
I'm up for it - I've watched ALL the versions so far, including the anime, and I've read the manga.…
I got through the first nine episodes by power 'walking' through it.....but that was when Netflix UK had only loaded 18 episodes....then it loaded the titles up to episode 39 and I cried (not literally, just in my soul). So then I broke the rest up into 15 minute chunks....well, by the time I got to episode 34 it was down to 5 minutes.....but then episode 35 wasn't too bad and so I just took a deep breath and binged the last four.
It was a bit like taking the worst tasting medicine in the world - it leaves a nasty aftertaste that you know will take hours to go, you feel sick and you're worried you'll vomit.....but at least it's done. I do wonder (with growing dread) whether there'll be a season 2 for the marriage?
Oooh!! I LOVED the original TVB drama for it. Kinda iffy when I heard there's a movie about a reunion of…
I have to admit I've not seen any other versions around; I really have looked because others have told me about it. So I can only go on this movie alone. But Cheung Julian in this is truly epic - I've watched him in other roles since this, and he's good, but he's never bettered his portrayal of Man Cho (in my opinion anyway).
Sorry for taking so long to reply, I only stumbled on your comment by chance, I hadn't had a heads up for it.
Can someone let me know how many episodes there are and how long each one is - I'm only asking as there's just 7 on youtube and they're only about 15-20 minutes long... Thanks, it's just someone else told me there was none subbed version of the miniseries that was up in the 30 episodes.....
So long as it's not like 'My Wife’s Having an Affair this Week' where we were supposed to feel sorry for the cheating wife and NOT the poor husband. I think, unless the spouse is a nasty person/control freak/violent partner, then the spouse that is cheated on is the victim.
Sad or happy ending? I need to know if I need tissues at the end......
Oh God, really? dammit! I might save it until I need to give my eyeballs a good wash!! Thanks for the heads up though, genuinely appreciate it. At least I can stock up with water and tissues and a giant bar of chocolate.
