   The benefit of knowing multiple languages is …. If the English subtitles are hopeless, you can try other languages to see if it's better. I suspect these Malay subs were made by an actual human while the English subs were made by a bot with a screw loose.

   Fyi, yes I can actually watch these without subs, but as this is a costumed drama, sometimes they use archaic words that I don't understand 😅

   I should be less lazy and watch it with Chinese subs but I am tired from an intense day of work, ok? 🤣

   PS Drama is called “Towards the Truth”, which you can watch via the iQiyi app. It's actually quite good!

     @Katztronaut I was thinking that this drama would make a good fansub project, but why do they have to hard code the Chinese subtitles 😭. If they have an srt file I could create subs in minutes !

     @liztai I so wanted to watch this drama, but with these English subs, impossible. They made me rant here the other day, too. I doubt that German & French are better, so no chance but to step up my Mandarin learning. Well, motivation is motivation, I guess.
