I've watched 4 ep and have decided to bail. Production values seem high, but it's not moving fast enough. 30 eps!
And my Mandarin is a bit rusty, so I have to depend on subtitles. One of my pet peeves is in full force. The subtitles seem well-done, but they're not kept on screen near long enough to read. And the shots are plenty long to let them linger. As it is, I see a countdown clock in my vision that tells me how long I'll get to see the next subtitle, and it always reads: 0.0001 second. That's not long enough for persistence of vision to give an assist!
How could they do that? A 30-ep series on one of the biggest Sf novels to come out of China. A major investment of time and effort. And they sink good money into solid subtitles. Yet somewhere along the way the subtitles are given to someone who hasn't a clue about how long to show them?
I could always freeze-frame every scene to read the subtitles, but not gonna do that.
