If you like romances, you should check out Seikei Bijin... It's a different romance and a slightly older drama (2002), but I really liked it. :)

Now if there was just a DVD-quality copy out there to be downloaded.... :puppydog:

There is a chinese hard-subbed DVD version. The files are rmvb, so probably not quite the same quality you are used to from DVD, but still better than those ripped off video tapes or VCD, I guess. And then you can try to put English subs on it, maybe. If interested, you can download it from clubbox.

Now that's truly for the hard core.. I think I'll learn Chinese first :)

Actually, time to get to my 1 hour of Japanese learning for the evening!

Eek, Chinese-hardsubs??? :bleh:

It'll be virtually impossible to superimpose subs over existing ones... :sweat:

And the encoding process will further degrade the video... :sweat: :sweat:

But thanks for the links... Maybe I'll breakdown a give it a shot anyways.

Hmm... Originally, I was thinking since you know the story already, maybe you can watch it without subs. But probably too much to ask on second thought. Oh well.

The extra/special footage may be worth a look... Not sure what's in it though.

Ah, the extra footage... Maybe outtakes and fun stuff like that...

I guess it IS worth a look. :victory:

Cool. :victory:

I'll try the tutorial you posted previously, that way you won't have to upload any of the other stuff. :)

Thanks! :thumbsup:

Okay, I'm gonna try this out this weekend... :victory:

I did download the Extras... What a disappointment: I thought it was "making of" and/or NG stuff, but it was just some footage of a bunch of goofy guys being filmed in one scene of Seikei Bijin...

Groan. :puppydog:

I can think of: Osen, the Kuitan series, The Chef, Honmamon, Asuka (more on the candy-making side), Ohsama no Restaurant,
