the youtuber avenuex explained adr thing in cdramas in the video "why are chinese dramas sooo voice dubbed". tl;dw some reasons are: 1. a lot of chinese actors speak mandarin with a dialect and to make them easier to understand for a wider audience, the studios usually dub over the actors lines with standard chinese. 2. especially wuxia are filmed on really big sets where sometimes multiple shows/movies are filmed at the same time so the original dialogue sometimes isn't usable. 3. sometimes the actor doesn't have the voice suited for the character and the studios dub them over with a voice that fits better.
Watching Stay with me as it aired was really interesting. It was after China had a further censorship crackdown, so no one expected even censored bls to air anymore. Nevermind a remake of Addicted, which was dramatically shut down before it even finished airing due to new censorship policies. Both the book and the original adaption that Stay with me is based on are fucking wild, so there were a lot of mixed opinions of this family friendly version. Personally, I loved it but did have to remove the context of the source material to really appreciate it. You should totally check out the original after you've finished this one though!
omg I didn't realize that the dirt on the newspaper was the dirt from his shoes, I fully thought that it was just ink on the newspaper that was wet, wow I am so silly. Haha. I do love this BL so far (even if it isn't a BL technically) I am watching along with you, I have watched the first three and am so excited to continue.
@@myhopeisjhope8315 true true. I just didn't want to make it sound like I was "officially" calling it that even though that's basically what it is. I didn't do any research and didn't want to seem like an authority
sooooo excited to see y’all reacting + recapping this!!!! it’s very much my third favorite c-bl (and i will stand ten toes down defending its bl status). ITS SUCH A CRAZYYY SHOW good luck with the rest u will need it
On you gossip tangent, I am currently reading the book Sapiens and the author argues that the way modern humans started communicating how we do was to gossip! It helped strengthen our social bonds. I just wanted to share that interesting tidbit with yall!
For the box of "potatoes" (tudou) if you take each character separately, it is soil (tu) and beans (dou). I tend to avoid Chinese content on youtube because of the muted audio issues (especially for singing/music programs!)
I am losing it at you guys explaining how you reacted to the ending of the first ep bc i did the same thing. I hit the 10 sec thing twice bc i was like I think my Viki is acting up lol Especially because I wasn't aware of the very LENGTHY credits so I was thinking.. should there be like another 3 minutes of show"??"?
Hey I would like to recommend you famous chinese BL drama called THE UNTAMED. It's an popular bl drama and highest grossing drama of 2019 in china. I would highly recommend as it has good plot and storyline!!!!!
First it was this, then the play I just went to referenced the three sisters and a different local theater is putting it on in May. I don’t believe jn God but I swear a higher power is trying to communicate something to me. ( I hope this is the right video or that’s gonna be real embarrassing)
China's use of voice overs gotta stop, sometimes they would use the actual actor's voice and voiceover their own character post production, and its not that great
Them: "I'm glad there is no villain:
Me: Oh just you wait....

it's still obviously a bl and no amount of censorship can change it

i was already in a happy mood because of toz teasers yesterday, and now a new boys love show?? blessed
I haven't seen this adaptation yet, but I've read the books and seen the original adaptation and it is insane and problematic, but also very engaging
Thank you for that black stockings, white shoes reference. I very much enjoyed that
Thank you for doing recaps of Stay with me! This is one of the best BLs ever, you made me day when I saw this video
Kudos mama, for recapping this, for reviewing
So much good setup in these two episodes. I can't wait for when it all blows up in their faces :)
