Cdramas will claim all my money

[dangermousie]

I have just discovered that Fan Bing Bing and Wallace Huo did a pre-modern drama together called Red Snow where they play a star-crossed OTP - she's a woman married against her will and he's a butler in that household for secret reasons.

The MV looks very pretty:

And there are subs.

I have just bought Four Women Conflict with Ady An and Feng Shao Feng and the Ady An/Peter Ho drama Legend of a Hero so can't afford to buy this for a while. I am going to be patient and see if I can find subs elsewhere.

This cdrama addiction is dangerous.

And speaking of Ady An, have opening credits from Four Women Conflict. Pretty and melo, no?

Yes, I know how this drama ends. Yes, I still bought it. Yes, I plan to binge.

I liked Red Snow enough (mostly for the tone and pretty) to watch a good chunk of it. I still rem it as VERY VERY VERY pretty and melo/angsty. But it's more serious and with it, more 'draggy' than the newer ones we're used to now.

I don't mind slow - that is what my beloved ff button is for :)

Hey, Lets Look has 'Red Snow' aka 'Romantic Red Rouge' with subs... I just found it myself not long ago. I'm hoarading C-dramas now, look what you've done Mousie! :)

Thank you, ILY!!!!

I have the "red snow" series but in C-subs. Quality is not so great. Have not gotten around to watch it yet. At least this series has a happier ending than 4 women. Too much angst & sad ending is depressing for me.

Thanks! Happy ending? YAYYY!

Oh ? I didn't know Ady An and Peter Oh acted together in a drama ! Good
I watch this Wallace/Fan Bing Bing cdrama and I liked her better with her husband. But I didn't like the latter part of the show and guess why.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yup, they played an OTP in it too :)

Why?

Good girl! You didn't download the series and went for the more righteous action. =)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Righteous? Now I feel like a Yang :)

Joking aside, I do try to buy the DVDs whenever I can (if they are subbed, of course) because the more I support them, the more they will make them.

If I go to China, I'll sweep those boxes off the shelves...but then again, who knows if what they sell in stores are originals even? I don't dare to buy from China websites even...too dubious. XP

But yeah, I like buying too...it just feels...more proper (am a victim of government brainwash)...it's stupid but I sometimes watch a series online and then buy the dvd if I really like it. LOL.

Have fun with the angst!

Oh man, tell us if it's really worthed the heartache. =(

I like buying official dvds - it seems propr to 'reward' those who made them.

I buy mine through yesasia - they are pricy but reliable and official and have a lot of subbed stuff which I need :)

Did you get YWotYC from YesAsia too? Are the English subs switch-off-able? If so I'm so gonna get me a set.

I generally have good experience with YesAsia too, but once I ordered a drama set and when it came I was pretty sure it wasn't original (but it's an older drama so who knows if there's a real, official DVD release at all---I suspect more recent dramas are ok).

However, it's really hard to tell what's original and what's not---I've bought Chinese DVDs and CDs that have some kind of shiny official seal, but once you've opened the packaging it's completely obvious that it's a pirated version. On the other hand, some official releases are so crappily produced that they look like fakes. :(

I got YWotYC on-line but I plan to buy a dvd set from them so I researched it and yes, subs are removable.

I've bought some 'official' dvds in Melbourne once which turned out to be...not so.
