renzhe Posted July 2, 2009 at 08:06 PM Report Posted July 2, 2009 at 08:06 PM (edited) I don't see why we couldn't throw in a documentary or two, especially if it's good. Outofin did a good job writing up 北京记忆, if nobody minds, we can make a first episode thread out of it. Here is a shortlist of episodes I've downloadid and which I plan to go through in the near future: 特警出击: 2007 Hong Kong special police show. Bad dubbing. emule youku tudou 软弱 Miss Irresistable meets Mr. Irresistable. But he's married to her sister. Uh-oh. emule tudou youku 恶作剧之吻 We haven't had an anime-based Taiwanese schoolgirl drama recently I'll probably regret this... tudou youku emule 重案六组 A modern police show. Regular coppers, not super agents. ku6 youku emule 给我一支烟 Young succesful guy is after a girl, her friend is after him, she was hurt once, there's night clubbing. Could be interesting, or it could be terrible, any bets? tudou 56.com cctv youku - emule small - emule big These are all from the TV show recommendation thread, there were other interesting ones, but they are virtually impossible to find nowadays. In the meantime, I've been cleaning up the First Episode threads a bit, making sure all threads have proper links, etc. This was especially important for 奋斗.

I'm starting to feel like I really don't know you anymore renzhe Young succesful guy is after a girl, her friend is after him, she was hurt once, there's night clubbing. Could be interesting, or it could be terrible, any bets? A beer says it's terrible. Any other takers? Quote
renzhe Posted July 3, 2009 at 09:56 AM Report Posted July 3, 2009 at 09:56 AM I'm starting to feel like I really don't know you anymore renzhe It seems like all popular Taiwanese shows are like that. Do they make any other type of show? A beer says it's terrible. Any other takers? I made a quick scan through it, and it looked like it could be interesting. My summary is, admittedly, terrible. Looks like a love drama, but less youthful than Fendou and friends, and a bit more edgy. Quote
renzhe Posted July 14, 2009 at 12:30 PM Report Posted July 14, 2009 at 12:30 PM If you are looking for new first episodes, how about 半生缘? I haven't seen it myself but I read the 张爱玲 novel it is based on after hearing how great the TV series was. Got a link? It sounds interesting, but I found the last series based on 张爱玲 a bit disappointing. Quote
roddy Posted July 14, 2009 at 02:43 PM Author Report Posted July 14, 2009 at 02:43 PM Just to check in - someone lent me a complete Buffy The Vampire Slayer box set. It may be a few weeks before I have any time for Chinese TV. Quote
renzhe Posted July 14, 2009 at 04:38 PM Report Posted July 14, 2009 at 04:38 PM Oh my... We've lost roddy! Quickly, somebody recommend a show where pretty girls beat up monsters!!! ...it's not that I'd usually watch such shows, but it's for a greater good Quote
muyongshi Posted July 15, 2009 at 01:44 AM Report Posted July 15, 2009 at 01:44 AM How about WWII sniper series (called Sniper, go figure) with 陆涛 from 奋斗 as the main character, playing a KMT soldier. I'll start a new thread in the next day or show. Quote
roddy Posted July 15, 2009 at 10:42 AM Author Report Posted July 15, 2009 at 10:42 AM Right, I'm going to watch at least one first episode this evening - what should I watch? Anyone want to join me, in a display of online-TV-watching solidarity? Quote
renzhe Posted July 15, 2009 at 10:45 AM Report Posted July 15, 2009 at 10:45 AM From the ones you haven't seen, I'd recommend 潜伏. I won't have time to join you until later in the evening, which will be deep night for you. Otherwise, we could watch the Blue Files, which I haven't seen yet. Quote

renzhe Posted July 15, 2009 at 01:42 PM Report Posted July 15, 2009 at 01:42 PM Sure, why not, maybe roddy will like this one better, since there are no Shanghai spies involved Quote
renzhe Posted July 19, 2009 at 09:05 PM Report Posted July 19, 2009 at 09:05 PM Houston, we have a problem. Looks like I've hit the maximum character limit with the first post. Which means I can't add new shows to the summary without severe gymnastics. Is there a way to get around this? Either by increasing the maximum length for that post, or by somehow inserting a second post right after it? Or should I rudely take over roddy's post #2 in this thread and use it for my evil plans? (read: continue with the list of shows in roddy's post) Quote
roddy Posted July 20, 2009 at 01:44 AM Author Report Posted July 20, 2009 at 01:44 AM Yeah, just take over mine for now. Quote
renzhe Posted August 2, 2009 at 12:06 AM Report Posted August 2, 2009 at 12:06 AM 恶作剧之吻 is up. Muyongshi won't be watching it, but perhaps somebody will, these schoolgirl manga things seem to be insanely popular for some reason. On a different note, I've found a bunch (well, a couple) of English subtitle links for some of the shows, namely: 美味关系 野蛮奶奶 天龙八部 我的青春谁作主 微笑Pasta I've added them to the corresponding shows, it might be useful to somebody.

roddy Posted August 3, 2009 at 06:10 AM Author Report Posted August 3, 2009 at 06:10 AM I did one for 迷雾！I even did a summary and wordlist, just like Renzhe . No photos though . . . Quote
muyongshi Posted August 3, 2009 at 07:16 AM Report Posted August 3, 2009 at 07:16 AM I did one for 狙击手 which I mentioned awhile back. But not as complete as Renzhe's and Roddy's. Quote
赫杰 Posted August 4, 2009 at 06:29 AM Report Posted August 4, 2009 at 06:29 AM renzhe and everyone, I really appreciate all your hard work! Very admirable. Thank you guys. Depending on whether or not I have success with an exercise I would like to try, I myself will probably be contributing to the scripting of《奋斗》. HJ Quote
renzhe Posted August 9, 2009 at 07:07 PM Report Posted August 9, 2009 at 07:07 PM Thanks for the efforts, guys, I was gone for over a week on a business trip, it's nice to see that there's fresh stuff being watched! Quote
