Libera me, Domine, de morte æterna, in die illa tremenda

I'm only 5 minutes into The Seventh Day, but the Cantonese is really screwing me over. Sometimes it sounds close to Mandarin, and I get confused. Plus, you know, the writing is the same, so I keep looking at the Chinese subs, and thinking they're going to pronounce stuff in Mandarin (I do the same thing with Japanese kanji, I read them in Mandarin).

Doesn't help that occasionally they actually DO speak Mandarin.

I know Cantonese is supposed to be more melodic, and flow-ey, but it just sounds really strange to me. I like Mandarin better! :D

Other than the Cantonese (CAAANTONEEESE! *shakes fist*), I'm liking it a lot. This is my first HKDrama, and it's shaping up well. Plus, Kevin Cheng is Hoooooooooot. He looks a lot like Joseph Chang to me, which is nice in many many ways.

Hehehe! One of the characters started talking to another one, and she's like "Oh! You're Taiwanese?!"... That made me unreasonably happy. Yay Taiwan!
