However, serendipity, wandered into the Dundas DVD stores and not the Spadina ones--
...and emerged with 我心飛翔/ Rainbow, and the knowledge that if I had an all region DVD player I'd have a source for cheap Woxin and reasonable Prince of the Han Dynasty-I-think, because my memory for Chinese titles is fuzzy. Uncle Ming's in it; I'm just not sure the series really is 大汉天子 and not something wth a similar name. But I shall go back some rainy weekday with my handydandy list of Uncle Ming's Oeuvre (largely pulled from Yesasia) and check; and the regionless player will doubtless follow in time.
 | Though googling first might be an idea. I was all set to order 江山風雨情/ The Dynasty on the basis of those stills on the yesasia page, which annoyingly one can't click'n'save and must present in b&w. More reading suggests the part is a slight walk-on and that there's much more of Pigface Whoever than of languorous Uncle Ming. |
