Hmm, Jem has also Swordsman and Swordsman 3 (though I haven't been able to get 4-7 of the latter).

And I think it's Witness to a Prosecution 2. Smile

... and the final episode of Eternal Happiness is being uploaded today.

Would there be a requirement of english subbed?

Also, when we say chinese drama, are we mixing cantonese and mandarin into the group?

Or just one language?

I'm curious: if you guys had to pick an ancient or period drama to sub, what would you pick, keeping in mind the quality of plot, action, characters and overall atmosphere (I'm always for realistic costume and hairstyles)?

Some of my picks would be Huan Zhu Ge Ge/Princess Returning Pearl; Jue Dai Shuang Jiao/Legendary Twins; the Condor Heroes series...ack trying to think of relatively short ones and these aren't...Wo Hu Cang Long/Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (though I haven't yet finished watching so I don't know how great or horrendous the ending is)...I know I've got more but my mind's blanking on me...

I don't think ancient dramas would be any more or less hard to sub; it's the translation that might be tricky...but defintely doable. Time would be my major issue.

OK I know it's not much but since nobody else is posting...

I'd be willing to seed what I've got of A step into the past, which is currently 13 complete episodes, 5.2 GiB. I'm actually doing my best to keep it seeded already. ^_^;
Of course this is because I want to get the drama myself, but also because I think it's a really good one and would like to spread it.

I know it's 40 eps long, but maybe we could have ten episodes per batch... I think batching up JTV's first nine eps would help people since there's always like one, two or three people downloading each ep, which is very inefficient.

But it depends, maybe I'm the only one who likes this one. ^^;
As for other dramas, I tried to download some, but there are no seeds and almost no peers, so I never get anywhere. Right now I have 2.3% of Monkey King ep 1, after several days. :P
Also, while I speak Japanese and am very fond of Japanese culture, I don't speak a word Chinese (any dialect), why I'm usually not that interested in Cdramas. In the case of a step into the past though, I'm with you. :-)

Ok, I'm good for seeding Monkey King 13-24, but 22-24 have no subs. I have 1-12 on
cd-r, but someone would need to tell me how to seed them from that. I'm all about MK, and the other older series, Legend of Condor Heros, Demi gods and Semi devils, and all the other past based series. It's my bf's mom's fault, watching all those chinese dramas dubbed in viet.....I forced my bf to translate and now he regrets it, lol. As for chinese dramas on the web, I personally wish there was a video store with all these different series subbed in english. Unfortunately the stores with asian videos are all just dubbed in the store owners language, there for being useless to me. So.....which ever episodes come about......paaaalllllleeeeeaasssssseeeeee english sub them now, so that I don't bother you guys later about it. Arigatou gozaimasu!!!!!!!!

I thought HZGG was great too althought I didnt understand most of it >_<
HSDS was also good and I loved Tian Long Ba Bu.

I also think we should try to encourage more seeding of English subbed C drama (after all we are spreading the love right?)
There are plenty of other sites/video stores that raw/C subbed Chinese dramas can be easily acquired..

Even tho quite a few series are longish, I think we should still go ahead and have a CSOTW.
It would be a great way to promote chinese dramas IMHO.
I believe we have just as much if not more quality in terms of content and candyness to compete with J & K dramas =P

Lets give it a go!

Cheers =)

I like both, but I think HSDS '03 has a better cast & pace than DGSD '03. However, whoever came up with the idea of Zhou Zhirou's costuming in the later parts of the story should be shot. What the heck was with those nails. But gathering from the cdrama statistics on this site, its popularity pales in comparison to jdramas & kdramas.

Here's what I think:
China productions, usually realistic and intellectual, but with has a lot of talk; it's not popular with younger people.
HK productions, tend to be fairly fast paced and adventurous which I like, but has cheap sets and costumes for the most part.
Taiwanese productions are in between, but they go the most far out in costumes, some look really modernized, seems to me that there's more focus on romance than the other 2.

If anyone really wants to jumpstart subbing a period Chinese drama, I can try to provide dvd or vcd raws if it's commerically available, but probably only during my winter or summer break as I'm already kind of behind in The Rose. I think it'll be a challenge unless you really know your Chinese.
