So, I’m looking for an upload with the full, original audio. For every single upload on YouTube, they have to mute/remove the music/background audio so they don’t get sued for copyright infringement. This results in hollow and/or distorted background audio. 

I can usually find videos with the full audio on Dailymotion, but I’m having a hard time finding this one. 

Oooh okay, then I don't have any

I love vertical dramas, so it's nice to join a group where we can share links and discuss them :)

My situation with vertical dramas is a bit unique though. I know people usually watch them on YouTube, but I can't because the distorted audio really bothers me. Like, clinically. Sometimes I will suffer through them, but I really prefer to watch my verticals with the full, original audio on dailymotion, rumble, or reelxia. I'm usually good at finding verticals on these sites with the full, original audio, but I've been having a hard time finding a good upload for Hong Luan Yin.

Has anyone found it somewhere with the full audio and subs? I found it on dailymotion with the full audio, but it's unsubbed. If it's on any official apps for shorts like iQiyi or Drama Box, I'd even consider signing up for a free trial and watching it on there. 

Thanks in advance!

I previously watched it in 27 December 2025 here:

This channel is trustworthy. I previously watched Zhang Chi and Liu Nian's republican drama on other channel with open captions (I had a weird obsession about open captions) but Zhang Chi singing opera to that perverted rich man became an instrumental song. So I tried this channel's video and the opera singing worked fine. But actually for Hong Luan Yin there's not much music iirc.

There's no free trial for iQIYI as far as I know, but there's discount. In 2025 there's two times discount week. And for a first timer, there's also big discount. Eh, is that for youku? I forgot. Ah, but in my country there's an apps giving out free trial for iQIYI once only for 14 days. Maybe there's such thing in your country. Unfortunately, Hong Luan Yin was not available on iQIYI.

For me, video length is the most important. There's this one time two videos with the same length have different opening scene, I went to watch the first 17? minutes on this app and moved to continue it on another apps. I also restarted a few dramas when I found the longer ones when I felt like it. Want to find a reliable source... Reelxia is fine. But still have to check it. (Have trust issue). And youtube mostly cut a lot of scenes. It's fine if only the opening scene got cut, if not it's a bit inconvenient.

Pardon me for the lengthy writing.

^ Unfortunately it has the same issue I’m talking about. Every single vertical on YouTube does, that’s why I don’t watch verticals on YouTube at all. I was wondering if people used other sites like me. 

I appreciate everyone trying to help though. I’ll keep looking.
