I like the art direction, I'm just not sure of the idea yet.

「中英快譯」 means quick translation between chinese and english, I think that's the idea.

I think "ALL (全)" is the best in the series.

why all the hate in this room?

Was JoeBK involved in this campaign? Why the harsh words? That being said, I think this campaign is effective, simple and tells me precisely what this product does.

Exactly. I like the piece, but I don't think "So?" calls for an onslaught of broken insults.

Agree. The worst insult I've seen was 'I want to puke in the Art Director's mouth'. But why? Ok, the ad can be really bad but why have to insult so badly?
Great pieces btw, 'Horse' is my favourite.

This is a totally oriental-culture based masterpiece. If the Cannes Lion is held in China, this would win at least a Gold Lion. But unfortunately, it would never be.

So, I do really appreciate this work. People who work in the occident would never imagine how fabulous this is, or how much inspiration and hard work it would take. Anyway, this should be something appreciated within our own culture...

That's all.

This IS fabulous, but I have to say this is th weakest of the series, since it looks like a korean character at first sight. I'd say "ALL" would be first on my list and "HORSE" would rank second. This is great work, I hope it at leasts wins something somewhere.

The Chinese character is 'hate', literally. This ad uses English letters to make up the Chinese character, hence the quick translation.

it's 恨 translated to english "Hate"
the execution here is not as good as "ALL" i think.

You people shouldn't take insults so personally. I think they spice up these yawn factor nine notice boards.

Briliant! Good job, DDB Hong Kong!
BTW, I think it's not easy to understand for most Chinese.
