English subtitle claim: Yes — advertised

Subtitle limits: English source claim supported; actual caption rendering and whole-series continuity are not established.

Audio/video scope: A/V quality unverified — audio not sampled; limited visual sample retained, not a full-series picture-quality approval.

Episode notes: Edition/grouping note — see notes

Metadata notes: Identity cross-match: Chinese synopsis uses Yue Liuying / Ling Qiye, matching official English synopses. Official YOUKU labels EP01–24, Prime's original edition lists short episodes (7–13 min); Viki repackages as 6 episodes. Region-specific Prime page is metadata only, not US availability evidence.

Horizontal evidence: HORIZONTAL — SUPPORTED BY PUBLISHED VISUAL EVIDENCE

Format evidence scope: Official MyVideo production scene stills. Three 640×360 stills show a kiss, a couple at a table and a lantern scene, all naturally composed as wide drama scenes with the Chinese drama logo. Identity: The Blessed Bride / 府上娶了个锦鲤新娘 (2022); existing cast: Sun Yining; Wen Yuan. MyVideo 2022 府上娶了個錦鯉新娘, Sun Yining / Wen Yuan, Yue Liuying / Ling Qiye and 24 episodes match the catalog. Scope: Published images were visually inspected; no new episode playback, subtitle, full-series, U.S. or A/V certification.

English subtitle claim: Yes

Subtitle limits: English source claim supported; actual caption rendering and whole-series continuity are not established.

Episode coverage claim: Unverifiable

Coverage limits: Provider has a compilation edition; complete original-to-provider edit equivalence not verified. Not independently re-established in this pass; retain edition limits in existing notes. Apple exposes first six episode cards; complete original-to-provider coverage remains unverified. Viki explicitly lists English subtitles; 6-episode compilation edition; US playback not tested.

U.S. access: Official source exists but U.S. playback not directly confirmed

Audio/video scope: A/V quality unverified — audio not sampled; no approved direct drama-frame sample.

Source-specific access: No new title-specific gate observation; see existing access notes. U.S. status remains unverified.

Poster notes: Visually inspected portrait with complete Chinese title. Slight softness but readable at review-card size; no apparent cropping or distortion. URL only, not embedded or rights-cleared.

Episode notes: Edition/grouping note — see notes

Metadata notes: ONE grouped website entry: 18 episodes in Season 1 + 18 in Season 2 = 36. Audio quality and U.S. playback remain unverified in this pass. | Sampled S1 episodes 6, 11, 12, 16 and S2 episodes 5 and 12 list twelve minutes. Both seasons remain grouped as one 36-episode record. Source: https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/2323935/the-only-girl-you-havent-seen-1x06-episode-6

Horizontal evidence: Published title-specific evidence

Format evidence scope: Landscape supported by published production/release evidence; playback unverified. YOUKU content-partner article discusses 独女君未见 and horizontal viewing; Jiemian's 2022-05-14 industry analysis explicitly includes it among horizontally filmed intermediate-length dramas. Production-level published evidence; no new frame or per-season playback sample. The grouped record's second-season official coverage remains unresolved.

English subtitle claim: Unclear

Subtitle limits: Grouped two-season title: distributor S1 full upload is documented, but retrieved primary evidence did not explicitly establish English captions across both seasons. A multilingual-title lead had conflicting Spanish description; a YoYo S2 member-only listing is not English-caption proof.

Episode coverage claim: Partial official upload

Coverage limits: Validated distributor reference covers S1 (18 episodes); the active record includes both seasons. S2 official coverage has not been established in this evidence. This does not assert S2 is unavailable elsewhere.

U.S. access: Official source exists but U.S. playback not directly confirmed

Audio/video scope: A/V quality unverified — audio not sampled; no approved direct drama-frame sample.

Source-specific access: No new title-specific gate observation; see existing access notes. U.S. status remains unverified.

Poster notes: Season 1 title-matched poster visually inspected; grouped record still covers S1+S2.

Episode notes: Source recorded

Metadata notes: Synopsis based on Tencent's retrieved title-specific search excerpt; the full episode page fetch failed. | TVmaze gives a nominal ten-minute episode duration.

Subtitle limits: English source claim supported; actual caption rendering and whole-series continuity are not established.

Episode coverage claim: Complete official series

Coverage limits: CATALOG / SOURCE EVIDENCE ONLY — 20 numbered video entries; advertised total 20. Source listing only; entitlement and complete playback untested. Final EP20 page also inspected. This does not certify successful playback, U.S. access, subtitle continuity or uncensored/edit equivalence.

Audio/video scope: A/V quality unverified — audio not sampled; no approved direct drama-frame sample.
