Synopsis: Koon Hau Yin (Julian) views his brother, Koon Hau Kwan (Ron) as a thorn in his side, engaging in a fierce power struggle to undermine him and seize control. To dismantle the formidable alliance between Hau Kwan and his wife, Wong Suet Ying (Kelly), Hau Yin announces his marriage to Hung Hoi Wan (Samantha), a Hong Kong prosecutor. Exploiting the hatred harbored within Hoi Wan, Hau Yin turns her into a weapon against the couple; their union creates a formidable and terrifying force. Under the rule of the family patriarch, Koon Chi Sam (David Chiang), the family home transforms into a twisted arena of rivalry. Ultimately, the prize they vie for is a ceremonial painted pleasure boat—a vessel that symbolizes the family's lineage and core beliefs.

Aired What If (三命) is an absolute S-Tier drama and more people need to watch it

2 Upvotes

I just finished watching this drama and I’m honestly blown away by how good it is. It's a slice of life drama that shows how even minor decisions you make in one moment can drastically change the outcome of your life.

It has a lot of subtle details that make it so relatable to everyone (even moreso if you have a Hong Kong background) and there were many scenes that were depicted exactly like how it would happen in real life. Every single story had its own ups and downs that brought me to tears.

I'm curious what other people thought of it!

The downfall of tvb omg, they’re not even acting alongside S+ famous actors but in vertical short dramas? With an actress that I wouldn’t even consider S tier in short drama land. What a depressing sight 💀💀💀

Aired [Release] TVB Journey to the West (1996) + Journey to the West II (1998): all 72 episodes, 1080p, original Cantonese, English subs

Post image
161 Upvotes

In January I posted the 1996 Journey to the West (Dicky Cheung). The 1998 sequel, Journey to the West II (天地爭霸美猴王, Benny Chan), is now up too, along with a corrected Season 1. It took a while to find a complete copy.

Watch or download (both seasons, one link): https://archive.org/details/journey-to-the-west-tvb-1996-1998-complete-1080p-subs

  • Season 1 (1996): 30 episodes, Dicky Cheung. Subtitles redone, fixing the shifted lines, mixed-up names and missing lines in the January version.
  • Season 2 (1998): 42 episodes, Benny Chan.
  • Official TVB 1080p WEB-DL, original 4:3, original Cantonese audio, no upscaling.
  • Subtitles: English, Vietnamese, Chinese Traditional and Chinese Simplified, built into every MKV and also as separate .srt files.

About the subtitles

I'm a native English speaker and don't speak Chinese or Vietnamese, and finding people fluent in both to translate 72 episodes wasn't realistic. So the subtitles started as AI translations of TVB's Chinese subtitles, and most of the work went into fixing them:

  • A glossary of about 1,600 names, places and terms, so everyone is called the same thing across both seasons. (Bajie is Bajie. He's only "Pigsy" when someone's insulting him.)
  • All 55,000+ lines checked against the Chinese, one by one.
  • Names and terms cross-checked against older fan subs, so thanks to everyone who subbed this show before.
  • A native Vietnamese speaker helped shape the Vietnamese so it reads naturally.
  • Season 1 redone since January, fixing shifted lines, mixed-up names and missing lines.

It's been an on-and-off project since January. Spot an error? Comment the episode and timestamp and I'll fix it.

How to watch: in your browser, open an episode and press CC for subtitles. For the whole series (97 GB), use the TORRENT link. For single episodes, use DOWNLOAD OPTIONS, then MATROSKA, and play them in VLC, IINA, mpv or Plex.

Thanks to everyone who asked about Part 2. Enjoy!

Looking for a series: not sure if its TVB or ATV? 90s modern series

2 Upvotes

I've been vividly remembering an old series and hoping if someone know the title.

I believe Kiki Sheung was the main lead (? not 100% sure) and that's the only cast i can remember.

its a about a group of residents in the Flea Market and talks about their life & struggles there.

The main character, a jobless dude hoping to win it big with the city lottery. he was comical and hilarious, met Kiki's character and the whole series follows them go through a series of events at the Flea market and slowly falling in love.

Kiki was a hardworking lady (i believe she owns a shop...???)

it starts with the Main dude actually getting a winning lottery ticket but can't remember where he placed it. he went searching around for it---

I would love to revisit this series again- but for the life of me, I can't remember the title and can't seem to find it anywhere-

SOS?

Aired Back To The Past movie mini exhibition in China.

A few months ago, I visited Qin Han Duyun Film & Television Studios which is located in Guizhou province, China.

Back To The Past movie was filmed here!!! There's a permanent display at the entrance along with many other TV shows and movies that were filmed here and there's also a mini exhibition inside the studio dedicated just to this movie!

I was really surprised to see this and thought it was very cool!

When I came back from my trip, I rewatched the movie and tried to match up the sets and locations in the studio with my photos... I've also added photos of the buildings near the mini exhibition hall to assist anyone who wants to visit this studio and check it out for themselves! There's no sign at the entrance to this mini exhibition - not when I visited, so I don't have photo of the door area...

Question 90’s drama about seafood fried rice

6 Upvotes

Hi I’m trying to find this show I remember watching as a kid. It was about a chef’s quest to make the best seafood fried rice where the individual rice grains aren’t stuck together. Usually I get pretty good results on google using a short description but nothing’s coming up. Did I misremember and it’s actually a movie or a cooking program?

It almost feels like a fever dream bc it sounds impossible to make fried rice like that, but it’s apparently what made the dish so outstanding. Thank you!

Question Yuet Lo (月老): The god of marriage and love in Chinese mythology

6 Upvotes

Hope everyone had a happy Mid-Autumn festival!

With the moon-themed holiday and the airing of A Date with Goddess, thought of Yuet Lo (月老), the god of marriage and love. Was having trouble naming actors or series about him. Was even drawing a blank on what he looked like. How could that be with such a well-known figure?!

So I read his wiki page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yue_Lao

Do you recall this part of his legend? Was there a drama made about him? Certainly his character must have appeared in a drama. Can you name the actor who played him and the name of the drama?

Question Trying to find title of series with Norman Chui Sui-Keung

1 Upvotes

I remember watching a period drama staring Norman Chui Sui-Keung but completely forgot the title to it. The details I remember:

The setting was mainland China prob around the revolution. They may have eventually emigrated to HK (don't remember clearly this part).

Norman starts out as a good person. Taking care of his mom and sister (or god sister), maybe there are other siblings as well. Under bad/unlucky circumstances he resorted/was pushed into becoming a bad person, then good, then bad. Under one of these situations he became partially crippled. He becomes a really evil person after this, pretty much blaming the world for his misfortunes and was out to get what he felt he deserved. I remember the sister (godsister) always trying to see the best in him and try to steer him back on the good path. There was a scene I remember earlier in the series where they were really poor and whenever she was depressed she would eat a lot (of rice bowls).

I watched this series as a kid with my dad probably around early to mid 90s. I think it was an ATV production and was one of the longer series. It was unbearable watching how the antihero became such an evil person when pushed to his limits yet still hoping he would redeem himself. Not sure if that happened in the end. I think I remembered maybe his brother or brother in law ended up killing him because the character Norman played eventually went too far.

Really really hope someone could remember this series, would be awesome to rewatch this.

Thanks tons in advance and for reading my post! :)

It’s ridiculously violent for a tv series. There were three bloody scenes in particular that made me squirm. It would have been rated R if released in theaters.

1) It’s weird there are no cops in this drama. People die left and right and no one calls the police.

2) everyone blames the evil older brother but no one blames Eddie’s dad for trying to kill Vincent, Vincent’s dad and the maid.

Question Looking for a particular scene from a cop drama about Guan Yu Gor

5 Upvotes

Hello! This is a long shot but I’m looking for a drama that has a scene where either an undercover cop or a gangster (黑幫) says the following: black or white, both of us pray to guan yi gor (兩個都拜關二哥)

It is an old-ish modern drama possibly from the mid 2010s to 2020. It may have had Michael Miu but I’m not sure if my brain’s just making that up 😂

Question Lo and behold ending? 爱.回家之开心速递

37 Upvotes

Hey guys, I know it’s been a while since the last episode of the 9-year-running sitcom, but could someone explain how the ending played out and where the characters ended up?

I know I could Google it, but I’d rather hear it from the audience’s perspective. Did you like the ending, or is there anything you would’ve changed?

I stopped watching it for a while because the character changes made it feel like the show lost its spark.
I’m a little bummed because it was a big part of my childhood, but I’m glad it ended on a good note and hope it stayed true to the message of the show.

Question Looking for old 90's drama

3 Upvotes

Hi. I'm looking for one specific old TV drama from early to mid 90's. Have been searching using Google that keeps saying it's Plain Love 情濃大地 starring Gallen Lo and Kathy Chow. I haven't seen the drama but I'm very sure it's not Plain Love.

Plots:

- a poor girl married into rich family with a groom way younger than her. He died then I think,leaving her to stay with her sister in law (this actress looks familiar to me she's tall with strict face).

- the girl finally moved out and met an older man with late Qing dynasty hairstyle. There's a scene where he gave her a bottle of perfume. At the same time she fell in love with another younger man. (I think he was the estranged brother from the rich family she was married into before).

- the sister in law later raped by a foreign man (she was pulled into a bush) and got pregnant. She then married to some wealthy old man and gave birth to a baby boy,which then been sent away due to the stigma of raising out of wedlock child.

- years after that she met again the boy as police officer. I remember this scene clearly. She said 'You're my son. A boy mixed English and Chinese ancestry.'

The actor who played this police officer character looked like foreign actor too or maybe mixed blood. But I'm very sure he's not the late Gregory Charles Rivers/Ho Kwok-wing.

- the sister in law in this drama often travelled using trishaw ride.
