Watched it like 2 years ago. Pretty decent show, definitely worth watching. You can watch it for free on either youku or tuduo. Only thing is, they don't come with english subtitles. Let me know if u need help searching for them.

Dear PhilipLean

Thanks for the suggestion, it looks like a good series, but from the infomation we can see from the webpage, the DVD set has no english subtitles, just chinese. Funny enough, the cover has english information:roll:.. sadly, it's not unusual to see stuff like this. in chinese DVDs..

The line of characters above the photo of the DVD cover says

乔家大院:中英文字幕 四十五集电视连续剧（8DVD9）

Which I translate as

Qiao Jia Da Yuan: Chinese and English subtitles 45-episode TV series (8DVD9)

中英文字幕 zhongyinwen (Chinese English) zimu (subtitles)

hope that helps

Great, I have already found a couple of films an series there that look interesting.

I am used to using online translation to look at the reviews on Douban http://www.douban.com/ but it good to see the sorts of reviews here.
