Language
The show was originally produced in Mandarin Chinese. As with many Chinese shows, the episodes were distributed with Chinese hard subtitles, meaning they are inseparable from the video frames they overlay.

The show has not been officially released in English - although it has been broadcast in the USA, it was on a Chinese language channel. However various fans of the show have released unofficial English soft subtitles which can be used with the Chinese videos, albeit as well as (rather than instead of) the hard Chinese subtitles.

Because of the lack of an official English version, many of the terms used on Clear Midsummer Night Wiki are fan translations. For example, the rank 总 does not have an exact translation to English - it may mean Director, Head, Chief, General Manager etc. On Clear Midsummer Night Wiki it is always translated as Director unless there is evidence to indicate otherwise.

Home media
The entire series was released on HDVD (a type of DVD), only in China.
