What's the name of the Taiwanese workplace drama?

For people learning Mandarin I provide some information including word lists for a lot of shows on Netflix here:

This is amazing! Thank you for putting it together.

The show is called Office Girls. Friend in my Mandarin class recommended it as being fairly simple once you get past some office-related vocabulary. “Rich kid has to pose as poor kid and work his way up from the ground floor of dads business” story.

Thanks! I've actually watched that one a while ago but it's not available on Netflix in my region so couldn't get the subtitles to add it to the list. The version on youtube only has hardsubs, unfortunately.

I'm working on a language app and thinking about focusing on Mandarin. I would love your feedback on the lesson format:

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing. Do you actually practice them? Or what's your approach to using them? I add vocabulary to Pleco faster than the space repetition shows them so it doesn't seem like an effective way to use them.

Also searches don't seem to access stored vocab first so it doesn't actually make searching that much faster either.

It depends. Sometimes I really learn all the words before watching, sometimes I just watch something without any preparation.

Adding too many words to Pleco SRS over a short time doesn't work well, you will get overwhelmed with reviews quickly. So if I decide to study the words for a tv show I take some time between the episodes to prepare for the next ones, depending on how many words I have to learn it could be days or weeks.

Which searches are you referring to?

Great.

1. Where can I get the movies?

Many chinese movies are incredibly boring. This one is an exception and I did not see it on the list
