The Princess Wei Young
Oh my!
Beautiful and compelling.
I did not intend to watch and did not have the time, but I did.
Then proceded to the comments, with a click or two they are all English. Fun, fun, fun.
I want to see everything, tears, most beautiful child, costumes... everything.
I cannot watch and read at the same time, and the closed caption passes all too quickly. Being hearing impaired may have conditioned me to nonverbal cues? Whatever, very watchable for me.
Any possible method to turn OFF the voice track and listen to the music? For me, the music adds and the Chinese voices distract.
The Autocad adverts? Are they a contributor to this production? Do the Chinese still eat chicken feet at the movies(claws to the drumstick, watermelon seeds?... many years ago...)?
Thank you, I will return.

Not that I know of. Sorry. But I got used to them. I always have the audio on - while I can’t tell what they’re saying due to language issues, it gives me an idea as to who’s talking. After a while, you recognize the voices even when it’s not clear whose lips are moving.

I think the producers of the show put it up on Youtube and get paid for the ads that are run when viewers watch them. There’s another way to watch them if you have a Smart TV or one of those Roku or Apple TV boxes that plugs into a TV. I use my phone to look up a show on the Youtube app on my Android phone and broadcast it to the Roku box.
Re chicken feet - it brings back a memory fragment that somehow remains vivid for some reason I don’t quite understand. I’ve never seen anyone eating chicken feet in public stateside except in a dim sum restaurant. But during my first visit to (and experience of) China, on a budget tour of the Great Wall, I saw some kid contentedly gnawing on what seemed to be soy braised webbed feet (presumably a duck), with no related adults that I could see in sight. Brought back memories of childhood, when kids were trusted to do whatever and head back in at meal times.

I hope you found this somewhat entertaining. If you go in for palace intrigue, there’s a great series chronicling the period of the Three Kingdoms, when the fall of the Han dynasty triggered a century-long scramble for power that consolidated, for a while, into a struggle between the titular three kingdoms. The subs are just very well done, although an excess of realism may render the production a little dull. I thought the script was great - high officials going toe-to-toe through vicious schemes that ended up with most of them dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNHnX4xsplo C’est la guerre.
