A US man who jumped off a bridge said in his suicide note that if one person and said hello and smiled at him on his way to bridge he might not have jumped.
A greeting might be more be more important than you think. Read below
I was looking forward to Su Mucheng joining XingXin but sadly that won’thappen.
Well, at least I can look forward to Ye Xiu patting her on her head. Thats the only scene I am looking forward to now.
Spoilt as usual by the ending theme song
You can watch the videos on WeTV official website with great subtitles.
Got a question about it in novel Itai no Wa
Not a novel translated by my team but I recommend it.
Enjoy.
Cheers!
This story is centered around the man named Yi Ji-Hyuk, who has spent 1000 years in a Medieval Western fantasy-like world before returning back to the modern-day Earth. When he returns, he finds that his home is facing monster threats, and that humans with superpowers have appeared to protect the innocent people of Earth.
The thing is, Yi Ji-Hyuk himself lived like a true, bona fide Demon King in that fantasy world, and the only reason(s) why he returned home is to find some peace and easy going life. So, what will a man like that do?

I had this movie come to mind a few weeks ago, those were the good times. I haven’t watched a Hollywood movie in a while in which I wasn’t on autopilot. Without further ado, I will add the link to a scene from the movie that explains beautifully the content of Chinese novels. I would do articles like this more often but nah… I will start a dedicated site for that. Also I will be making subtitles starting this month on a new unaffiliated site. I contacted Clover Subs and was supposed to sub episode 7 of Rental no Koi but they ended up subbing it. So I will most likely be doing this: http://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=139811
It is easier to produce subtitles of Japanese dramas because you can easily locate Japanese subtitles, hopefully that changes for Chinese dramas in the future… or maybe I might change that.
Wish me Luck!
Cheers!

Came across this because I was thinking of purchasing a business myself. Given then many smaller publishers have already been swallowed up, it seems plausible. Although, I have to agree with the writer that is unlikely due to licensing, something else I will be dealing with soon. It is very hard to compete with Japanese companies that run multi industry conglomerate : Zaibatsu. Tekken comes to mind haha. Microsoft might be big but entire towns don’t rely on them for survival. It is easier for Japanese and Koreans to an extent to groom loyal employees when the company pervades their every life.
Cheers!
