Will I watch an entire two-hour variety show in a language I don't understand one word of, without subtitles, just because #WangZhuocheng is in it?
You bet I will.
(And it's not the first time I did it, either.)
@liztai They not only have the newest episodes for VIP users only, but they also start putting older episodes behind a paywall after a few days, each day one episode more.
So you can only watch for free if you watch within a certain time span, and if you're too slow, something came up or you start a little later... bad luck.
@liztai I only knew the version where you have to pay for the newest episodes (and I'm finde with that), so it was a surprise and a bummer to see them lock older ones, too.
I just really don't want to pay half a dozen subcriptions...
It started out with a tiktok video depicting what "european dance songs in the 1990s" were like, and I took offence because I felt it implied Europeans could not speak proper English.
I have since been told those songs were often written in English by non-native speakers. That catchy tunes were more important than lyrics because it was very important to get radio play, since it was before streaming. As an example "Rock Me Amadeus" was named. That all that music was written before globalisation and English was not a universal language back then.
But best of all: "30-40 years before most of us were even alive"
@stygianselkie I've seen him in Hikaru No Go (which is really good, btw), but also mostly his own videos and stuff. I'm not quite sure what it is that reminds me of him. Maybe his face is similar to the actor's?
So Li LianHua sometimes reminds me of Ji Li, in his looks. And sometimes, in his manners and personality, of Xiao Se.
I agree it's a strange combination, that's why it throws me off sometimes. ๐
