When you dabble in doramas it is bound to happen

*Sigh* I somehow managed to ebay something ('Say Yes Enterprises') that only has Chinese subtitles. I could go and scream at Ebay but it is entirely my fault for not being more perceptive and actually looking closer at the auction. Woes! Because the show actually looks quite good but I have no idea what is going on not knowing a word of Chinese. I guess I could just make up plots and admire the pretty people but I do not think that would entertain me for more than a few episodes.

That sucks! I can't find a subbed version at either d-addicts or jdramas either.

Maybe it's a sign you should watch Majo No Jouken. Or A Love To Kill. Both easily downloadable :)

Oh, sorry to hear about that! But let me tell you that it happens a lot! I mean, the proportion of doramas with English subtitles is very small comparing to the enormity of production! And as they are very popular among Asian countries and China is the one that releases almost everything, the simplest option is the Chinese subs.

I think all the original doramas I own have Chinese or Japanese subtitles, only one have English subs... The rest is thanks to the work of the fansubs people, who in my opinion won their place in heaven (even with bad English. If it wasn't for them we couldn't watch any dorama properly!)

I bought the ones with Chinese subs because is either watch them that way or not watch them at all... and I'm very weak ;)

Maybe if you had a party with lots of drunken friends and made up the dialogue together??
