Taiwan Too Beautiful to Lie (2004) - Romantic Comedy from Korea



Love HK Film Review by Kozo

This light-hearted comedy is too predictable but not a bad way to waste 2 hours. The PQ is pretty good DVD upconvert as expected. 2nd batch of 4 Korean movies from BitWel are definitely better PQ wise than 1st batch of 4 films. Perhaps we can get true high def movies with the next batch.

Video: 1080p24 AVC encoded 1.85:1
Audio: Korean PCM 5.1 or DD 5.1
Subtitles: Optional traditional or simplified Chinese and English
Extras: Trailer for 200 Pound Beauty

Korean romantic comedies are usaly pretty good and have interesting twist to them. Plus 120 minutes of looking at beautiful Korean girls is always a plus

strange why Bitwel chooses for PCM5.1 and not f.i. True HD or HD MA

I only have Bullet & Brain from them but sound is really bad, so I'am reluctant to buy more titles unless reviews are positive.....

Because PCM 5.1 is free and for others, you have to pay a royalty not to mention encoding cost.

I have bought this blu-ray, it's a funny korean movie, it's nice.
And Death Trance is another blu-ray I bought, it's a funny japanese move, it's nice as well.
I think PCM5.1 should have the similar audio quality than TrueHD or HD MA, but bigger size due to it's uncompressd . About TrueHD and HD MA, which one can bring better audio quality? And about the encoding cost, which one is more expensive? Anyone knows it?

PCM 5.1 has exact same sonic quality as Dolby TrueHD 5.1 and dts HD MA 5.1. Dolby TrueHD and dts HD MA tracks gets decompressed in your player or receiver to the exact same PCM track.

Right, the Studios don't have to pay TrueHD 5.1 and dts HD MA 5.1 royalty and encoding cost if using PCM 5.1, so they can reduce product's cost.
