I wonder if Jing Qi preserved his chastity? He suspect his wife to be having an affair and him reminiscing about…
Los hombres en esa época, claramente no. Por eso existían las concubinas y las sirvientas para todo, un horror, pero real ********************************************************* Men back then—clearly not. That’s why there were concubines and maids for everything; it was horrific, but real.
There is a wide variety of Chinese pastries I am not sure which ones you are referring to.It is common to make…
Thanks a lot for replying. I’m referring to the ones that are white and pasty on the inside when broken open; that’s why I say their texture is very similar to Spanish marzipan.
Bueno, leí por curiosidad esta historia hasta el capítulo 31 hasta que me di cuenta de que lo que había leído nada tenía que ver con los avances de WeTV, así que decidí dejar de leer la historia y concentrarme en el drama para no estar todo el tiempo comparando uno con el otro. Así que en los siguientes capítulos 11/12 aparece una nueva villana. Villana que, hasta donde yo había leído, es expulsada por mala, así que una malvada se va y viene otra casi peor, y hasta aquí puedo decir; hay que verlo. Tampoco sé cómo lo plantearán en el drama; cuando lo vea sabré si es igual o diferente. Visto el avance, no parece igual. No he visto necesario poner esto como spoiler.
*********************************************************************************************************** Well, I read this story out of curiosity up to chapter 31, but then I realized that what I’d read had nothing to do with the WeTV previews. So, I decided to stop reading the story and focus on the drama instead, just to avoid constantly comparing the two. Anyway, a new villainess appears in chapters 11/12. As far as I had read, the previous villainess gets kicked out for being wicked—so one evil character leaves and another, perhaps even worse one, arrives. That’s all I can say; you have to watch it. I also don’t know how they’ll handle it in the drama; I’ll find out if it’s the same or different once I watch it. Judging by the preview, it doesn’t look the same. I didn’t feel it was necessary to mark this as a spoiler.
Tengo una pregunta para las personas chinas sobre los pasteles que salen en los dramas: ¿Son tipo y parecidos al mazapán de aquí, de España? ¿Conoces el mazapán? Azúcar y almendra, todo machacado y clara de huevo; eso es algo parecido, pero no igual. Creo que pueden llevar arroz; alguien chino por aquí quizás pueda explicar mejor La verdad, tienen muy buena pinta y tengo curiosidad. Gracias de antemano. ********************************************************************************* I have a question for Chinese people about the pastries that appear in dramas: Are they similar to the marzipan we have here in Spain? Do you know marzipan? Sugar and almonds, all crushed up with egg white—that’s somewhat similar, but not quite the same. I think they might contain rice; maybe someone Chinese here can explain it better. Honestly, they look really good, and I’m curious. Thanks in advance.
The whole premise is so good. It's been a very long time since i've watched a cdrama and felt the craving for…
¿Te refieres a la trama de la tinta? ¿Ese drama? Sí lo vi, pero no era tan complicado como parece ser este y también es una historia muy profunda. Veremos cómo se desarrolla. Ya hemos visto algo más de un tercio de la primera parte. ******************************************************************** Are you referring to the ink plotline? That drama? I did see it, but it wasn't as complicated as this one seems to be—though it is a very profound story, too. We'll see how it unfolds. We've already seen a little over a third of the first part.
The trailers 11 and 12 show in wetv 😓😓😓 looks like birth of villain #2 is wolf in sheep clothing is coming!…
Sí, por suerte será despachada pronto también. Leí online la novela hasta el capítulo 31; me di cuenta de que no tenía nada que ver con el drama por los avances de WeTV, así que dejé de leerla, pero esa parte sí entraba y ella era expulsada de la mansión; quiso hacer daño a toda la familia porque no se salía con la suya; andaba detrás de algún otro hermano Lin; no sé cómo lo harán aquí. ***************************************************************** Yes, luckily that part will be dealt with soon, too. I read the novel online up to chapter 31; I realized it had nothing to do with the drama based on the WeTV previews, so I stopped reading it, but that part was included—she got kicked out of the mansion. She wanted to hurt the whole family because she didn't get her way, and she was going after one of the other Lin brothers; I don't know how they'll handle it here.
Pagando el EXPRESS en WeTV, así ya tienes también pagados los últimos capítulos que emitan todos juntos al final del drama. ***************************************************************************** By paying for the EXPRESS option on WeTV, you also have the final episodes—which are released all at once—paid for in advance.
That young girl who acted as Shen Jia Lan, how beautiful she is and her acting is so good. It never felt lke acting…
Sorry, are you referring to the lead actress? Tan Song Yun (Xu Lan Xiang / Shen Jia Lan)—she is already famous and has a long professional career. Yes, she has a baby face, but she is 36 years old; she looks like a young girl, but she isn't one.
Finished 6 episodes and I am thoroughly entertained by the detailed and captivating plots. Did not want to buy…
En todo de acuerdo, pero ella juega con ventaja con respecto a las demás sirvientas; fue una damita noble antes de todo lo que le pasó a su familia, así que conoce todas las tretas, por así decirlo. Y ella es muy inteligente, inteligencia que seguro le servirá para salvarle la vida una y otra vez, viendo cómo se las gastan en ese patio de mujeres; si una es mala, la otra peor. ***************************************************************************** I agree completely, but she has an advantage over the other maids; she was a young noblewoman before everything happened to her family, so she knows all the tricks of the trade, so to speak. And she is very intelligent—an intelligence that will surely help her save her life time and again, given the way things are in that women's quarters; if one of them is bad, the next is even worse.
La trama va avanzando lenta pero inexorablemente. Si no recuerdo mal, ambos protagonistas, amo y sirvienta, es la primera vez que están más cerca el uno del otro; en una misma habitación, ella con mirada de terror. La esposa se está jugando literalmente el pellejo, no uno, sino dos amantes; chica, parece que quiere que la descubran. El patio de la primera esposa es un foco de envidia y muy malas artes entre las sirvientas, unas muy inocentes, otras más interesadas. El esposo, el prota a la caza y captura de pruebas contra su mujer; está claro que quiere deshacerse de ella, seguro que lo consigue;,veremos mañana qué pasa.Me sigue gustando mucho este drama. ********************************************************************************************** The plot is advancing slowly but inexorably. If I recall correctly, this is the first time the two protagonists—master and maid—have been in such close proximity; they are in the same room, and she looks terrified. The wife is literally risking her neck—not with just one lover, but two; honestly, it seems like she *wants* to get caught. The first wife’s courtyard is a hotbed of envy and underhanded schemes among the maids—some quite innocent, others more calculating. The husband—the protagonist—is hunting for evidence against his wife; it is clear he wants to get rid of her, and he will almost certainly succeed. We’ll see what happens tomorrow. I’m still really enjoying this drama.
where do i watch the other 3eps since that web isn't working..
Lógicamente, en Viki y en WeTV, pero tienes que pagar. Viki suele liberar poco a poco los capítulos en modo gratis, pero tardará. Cierto lugar, según tengo entendido, ha sido atacado y, si así empezaron con todas las demás páginas hasta que desaparecieron, la piratería se combate hoy en día con más fuerza, así que te recomiendo que elijas lugar y mejor abona lo que corresponde. Si puedes, verlo gratis es muy difícil ya. *********************************************************************************************** Naturally, you can find them on Viki and WeTV, but you have to pay. Viki tends to release episodes for free gradually, but it takes a while. A certain site—or so I hear—has been targeted; since that’s how it started for other sites before they shut down, and given that piracy is being cracked down on more heavily these days, I’d recommend picking a platform and just paying the fee. It’s become very difficult to watch for free now.
Bueno, ya vistos los 4 primeros capítulos, debo decir que me han gustado mucho y es muy palpable el mal ambiente y tenso que hay en esa casa Lim. Esta actriz (Li Meng/señora Zahao), esposa del protagonista, de nuevo aquí su personaje es muy caótico y acabará mal seguro. No me puedo olvidar de su personaje en (The Double, la princesa desquiciada). Por lo demás, todo fluye como debe ser; por cierto, la compañera de nuestra protagonista, otra que no puede terminar bien, es una casquivana muy ambiciosa; veremos. El papel de Liu Xue Yi/Lin Jin Qi no lo hemos visto mucho en estos 4 primeros, pero lo poco que ha salido ya se le ha visto cómo será su personaje, muy conflictivo y violento. En cuanto a Tan Song Yun ( Xu Lan Xiang / Shen Jia Lan) y su doble identidad, es muy sumisa, pero creo que tarde o temprano será descubierta; es evidente la clase, modales y apariencia, comportamiento, ese saber innato de saber estar, que tiene diferente a cualquier chica campesina sin estudios; veremos cómo avanza la historia. ***************************************************************************************** Well, having watched the first four episodes, I must say I really enjoyed them; the tense, toxic atmosphere within the Lim household is palpable. The actress playing the protagonist's wife (Li Meng/Madam Zahao) portrays a very chaotic character—one who is surely headed for a bad end. I can't help but recall her role as the unhinged princess in *The Double*. Otherwise, the story flows just as it should. By the way, the protagonist's female companion—another character likely headed for trouble—is a highly ambitious flirt; we shall see. We haven't seen much of Liu Xue Yi (Lin Jin Qi) in these first four episodes, but his brief appearances have already revealed a very volatile and violent character. As for Tan Song Yun (Xu Lan Xiang / Shen Jia Lan) and her dual identity, she plays a very submissive role, though I suspect she will be found out sooner or later; her class, manners, appearance, and behavior—that innate poise—set her apart from any uneducated country girl. We’ll see how the story unfolds.
Vengo aquí sin tan siquiera haber terminado de ver el primer capítulo. Por Dios, qué capítulo más bueno, desgarrador, triste, pero muy bien realizado. Me gusta, sigo viendo los otros tres capítulos restantes; solo quería decir que si este drama es todo así, será todo un éxito. La niña actriz que hace de prima es una gran actriz en potencia; de adulta siempre trabaja muy bien. Saludos. ****************************************************************************************** I’m posting this without even having finished the first episode yet. My goodness, what a fantastic episode—heart-wrenching and sad, but so well-made. I’m enjoying it and am going to watch the remaining three episodes; I just wanted to say that if the whole drama is like this, it’s going to be a huge success. The young actress playing the cousin shows great promise; she always delivers excellent performances as an adult. Cheers.
