I saw some set in ancient China which seemed pretty cool. I'd love to find it and get some subtitles going.
One show had an evil character that was a woman with many lower ear piercings. Starting on her ear lobes, trailing up the edge of her ear. She seemed like a power hungry royal who'd slap and punish other women a lot. Really pretty show. Her looks and character's tendencies are why I remember it.
It won't play on my phone. What year is this show?

The Chinese version is a very close adaptation of the first book, very slow at times and the non-Chinese actors are hilarious but I enjoyed it as a fan of the series. The Netflix one is adapting the whole trilogy and is in English. I'm enjoying it but it's very different.
