Dilraba as Ji Yun He is a heart-throb here, stealing my heart right off the bat ( I want a FULL drama with her…
I think everything is great so far. No need to worry about people who complained about the CGI. Allen's muscle pack no longer looks fake, but pretty much a part of his body. And his tail is big! And powerful. Pretty much like a shark's tail.
But, it is sad that only people who can handle Mandarin can understand the dialogue without the subs. You can still watch it for the cinematography.
You have read the novel many times? So, just from all the actions, you should be able to understand most of what is going on, isn't it? At least 50%?? Maybe I am wrong.
When I watched the raw episodes, I was surprised that they did not use Sa Ding Ding's song as the opening OST. That one sounds better than this song. Has better melody. Oh, well. They are the professionals. They should know better.
other youku dramas lately have subs right away...idk what's going on with this one š§āāļø
I suspect they were not quite ready for the international market, as the subs were not ready. But they were 'forced' to release it domestically as they have lots of other dramas waiting in queue.
I watched TLB in raw too but I'm finding this drama is a lot harder to understand than was TLB: the dialogue is…
I think TLB is anchored after some real historical events. As long as we know the Xuanwu Gate Incident well, it is not too difficult to understand. But here, no real historical background to the story. Lots of stuff deal with spells, so they had more complex words, and the dialogue became heavier and more difficult to understand. But, we do not need to rely completely on the dialogue. A combination of the dialogue and actions should help us to get along, even without Eng sub.
Guys! This show is so good. Iām soooooo happy. Lol and really glad I can speak Mandarin so I understand most…
Ok. Good! Your mandarin must be better than mine. I can handle only about 50% of the dialogue. But that is good enough. Their action does the rest. I think, so far so good? You feel that way?
4 episodes are out? why does it show only 2 here then?
I think the timer was definitely wrong, for tonight. It was shown in Beijing at 6 pm, not 8. But the number of episodes seems right. It says 4, for VIP members. I was able to get all 4, on Duboku.
Atleast those dramas are available in those platforms (raw) but in this case it is not even available in any platform…
Oh, those. There is nothing there at all. Not a single official platform is showing this. Not even in raw. I think they are controlling this. Want us only to watch this April, after those in mainland China have already watched it. They were just not ready for international release, only domestic.
I finished E1, without reading the novel in advance. May I know if you read the novel, before watching E1?
I see. But for me, it is ok. I saw the trailer in Oct. There, the fake muscles was very obvious. Tonight, when I saw E1, I can hardly tell the muscles were fake. They blended very well with his body.
Likewise for the tail. It looked really small, in the Oct trailer. Tonight, it was ok. They were really big. And, they looked good enough for me. Comparable to the mermaid tail in Novoland Pearl Eclipse. Besides, the segment with the tail was not all that long. Did not border me at all.
Plus no one knows the answer for that because no official announcement, we know only when any platform airs this…
Yes, they probably also does not want TBW to compete with The Oath of Love on their WeTV platform. Like tonight. Youku released 4 episodes of TBW. It would have competed with TOOL.
I see! Those are Youku productions as well? I think Word of Honor is.
Gosh! They have done this before? This is really bad for their reputation! Why would any big star want to work with them in future, knowing this might happen to them?
