Ian_Lee Posted May 29, 2004 at 12:09 AM Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 at 12:09 AM TVB has bought the NHK epic "Princess Hiro" which I have introduced earlier: http://www.chinese-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=710 and has changed its name to 溥傑與王妃 It will be showed next Sunday and Monday. This drama is about Puyi's brother and his Japanese wife. It was extensively filmed in Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Beijing and Changchun. Strongly recommended and don't miss it if you can stand the JapChinese of 竹野內豐 (He spoke a lot of Mandarin in the drama). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted July 26, 2004 at 02:33 PM Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 at 02:33 PM I watched one episode. And I had summonsed all my patience, 耐著性子, to stop myself from switching to another channel. No, 竹野內豐's "Chinese" failed miserably. (Why didn't they cast 金城武 in that role if they wanted a Japanese? Kaneshiro's Mandarin, as heard in 十面埋伏, is excellent and very charming. But he probably would be too expensive.) So were the script and the acting of many of the other actors in the drama.

Ian_Lee Posted July 26, 2004 at 09:18 PM Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 at 09:18 PM Skylee: I watched a couple of episodes when I was in Hong Kong early this month. As far as I remember, it was dubbed into Cantonese. In my opinion, TVB should leave it the way it is in the original version -- Japanese and Mandarin. I think the drama itself is quite overwhelming. The first and last scene -- when the couple rendzvoused in China in early '60s with their younger daughter holding the ashes of the older daughter made my wife weep.
