YOUR Q's FOR MY A's

There is a FAQ [MAIN] database in this website where you will find info on how to link to this website, answers to some tech problems found in pages within this website as well as a great feature where you can post questions in relevant categories & I'll answer them. Try it out!


SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.


OFFBEAT STUFF

There is this one section in here that features offbeat stuff that are not entertainment based. The section is known as FUNN STUFF [COMMENTS & OPINIONS].

 
PERSONAL FAVOURITES

There are 3 sections in here that contain my personal favourites of all kinds. THE DDGs [COMMENTS & OPINIONS] which features specially made websites by myself with info & all related stuff of my favourite stars or stars I like to talk about, MEDIA & MUSIC FILES [DOWNLOADS] which has my favourite VODs and music files, most of them are taken from Chinese & Korean dramas & movies and some of which I am hosting for my net friends and THE STORYTELLERS [WEBSITES], where you'll find stories written by amateur writers like you and I.

Do check them all out!

Jewel In The Palace 
Permanent link Post a Comment

I am watching the Cantonese version and I must confess, I am so into the costumes and the series and the actor who plays that guard right now. I ccrave to hear their real voices IN this series. I believe even when they looked like shouting, they may not be shouting. The cantonese version is a bit like cartoonish in its dubbing. I believe the Mandarin version should be better. Very addictive story and yet I do not know who they all are except for the lead but I would like to know more about the supporting actors. I saw a few in the HK entertaiment shows, and surprisingly the lead actor looks so much shorter in real life and yet in this series he looked tall. I guess I like him so because he is like the handsomest in this series that is seriously lacking in both good looking babes and hot looking guys. That being said, I must stress, you know who is still my guy. For this nameless actor, I think I shall refer to him as That One for the time being.

Oh don't tell me the ending, a few links is all I need. Maybe a few discussion also. I am at ep 12 now.

The mandarin version of JIP has actually been aired on 8tv last year (yes, 8tv has always been faster than Astro when it comes to airing non-TVB series). The current airing in the 3pm slot is actually a repeat. I've seen a couple of episodes and found the mandarin dubbing very good. My mother who has seen the whole series in mandarin and now is watching it on Astro again said that the mandarin version was very much better. The mandarin dub was able to bring out emotions of the characters very well whereas the cartoonish cantonese version failed to do so. She also said the madarin version doesn't feel dub i.e. the diologs really sound like they're spoken by the actors.
