I have not seen Shanghai Bund. I tend to watch drama that comes with English sub. Did you know I am so addicted to subtitles that I have to have caption on when I am watching regular TV? I can't even go to the movie theater anymore because I rely heavily on them. My sister goes "you know they are speaking english"... hahah I can't help it.
I am a sucker for the republican era in China too. HXM makes a better triad leader than Hawick and a more convincing one too. I am not sure if I would recommend it. It's 40 episode long and I am still on 10. Looks like Viki is doing a one and a half episode a week with the subbing progress so I might stop until the subbing team catches up to where I am at.
I am nitpicking a lot in here but I do enjoy it. I like Joe Chen but I loathe her character in here. I don't like it when the lead girl is overly righteous and naive. She needs help like every 5 seconds lol
Omg, I'm starting to do that! Haha. I feel like it's my hearing that's going bad that's why I rely heavily on captions. I try not to depend on captions too much though. Hehe.
Totally, I think Hawick looks more handsome, but he's not as convincing of a big boss as Xiaoming. Xiaoming is tall, so even though he doesn't have big muscles he looks more like an intimidating boss. Plus he just looks naturally like a triad boss. Hawick has to force his facial expressions to look like a triad boss.
Shanghai Bund does have English subs, complete English subs! Hehe. I decided to watch it, since
Cruel Romance isn't completely subbed yet and I'm liking it thus far, I'm only on EP2. HAHA. But yeah, Xiaoming is totally rocking the big bro status. He has this charismatic stare that melts you and this authoritative presence that makes him bad*ss. I'm becoming a fan as you can see. I just don't like his chin. It reminds me of Pong N.. Eew. And his hair, no no.
