I think it's so much more convenient jsut to buy the DVD. I tried looking for torrents and programs that support torrents and it took forever to find something that was compatible with a Mac, and then when I tried downloading the torrents they wouldn't download..It was so annoying. I just bought the DVD.

She said the subtitles are WAY better. So get that one before it's snatched up. The cover looks like this:



I wish I didn't buy it, but I was so fixed on watching it. Just confirming what you said for anyone contemplating on buying this boxset. BY ALL MEANS! DONT and I mean DONT even waste your money on the boxset that has 'how attractive a kiss means.' In the ebay auction, it said the subs were average, but they just said that to sell it. Given, some subs on probably 5 out of the 30 episodes were decent, and by decent.. I mean understandable. Otherwise, you'll bang your head of annoyance.

And yeah.. they don't have english subs for this series on yesasia. I wish they did.. but they don't. So anyone wanting to watch this series, just try downloading it. And for MAC users, you're out of luck. It's better to just find people willing to trade this drama with you. The reason why i didn't dl this b/c I have a mac and it wouldn't play on any of my softwares. Good Luck! I hope it'll be different when they release subs for ISWAK 2, or rather 'they kiss again'

Well the one box set with the picture I posted which shows xiang qin and zi yu in the corner with the hat thingies...that one is FINE. I bought it and the subtitles are EXCELLENT. but it's the OTHER one with the "how attractive a kiss means" that people need to avoid. I love this drama so much that I was willing to buy the other, better DVD after being dissappointed with the bad one. But if you can download it, you can download it. But if you have a Mac and have trouble downloading it (like I did) I would seriously consider buying the GOOD one. Cause it's excellent quality. But watch out. Let me make it clear which one to buy:

BAAAD!! NO NO!!!! vvvvvv







GOOOOD!!!! YEEEESSS!!!!!vvvvvv



Believe me. I know. I own and have tried both.

I found it on Ebay but the seller wrote a note saying the chinese subs can't be turned off. Are the chinese subs really annoying in a way that it makes the english subs not readable sometimes?

Oh ok! Smile Good to know. ^_^
Is the video quality good? Or is it VCD quality?

Does this dvd box set comes with extras? I ask this because I have Meteor Garden dvd box from SPEEDY (the same publisher of this version of ISWAK) and it had some extras (best romantic scenes, interviews, cast profiles, bloopers, behind the scenes and etc.)

It's good quality. I don't know what VCD quality is like, so I couldn't answer that part of your question. But the quality is 99.99% fantastic. And no, it doesn't have any extras, unfortunately. There's bloopers at the end of the last episode, but that's about it.

Ashiva,
I think this is safe to buy because it`s from "Speedy Video Entertainment" and it`s the same version stated as the one with good english subtitles:

the photo above is the dvd set with good english subs. In the picture you can see the cover of the protective case and the cover of the dvd case that stays inside the protective case.
