Vertical Short Drama

 potatocouch:

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. 

Personally, I don’t watch these dramas with the audio on bc I don’t speak Chinese anyway so that way I can’t really be disappointed if the video turns out to have AI dub or bad audio so unfortunately I am of no help in this one.

The title and the actors' names are mentioned in the video description. The subtitle is not that good, but still bearable.

The drama is cute, funny at times, and romantic. But it ends in cliffhanger.

Chi Yan is a Gu master having 13 puppets. One puppet named Ah Jiu is falling in love with his prey (Chu He). This obsession lingering even after Ah Jiu's death to the point Chi Yan feels it too. Chi Yan can be controlled with 2 ways; foods and skin-to-skin contact with Chu He. 🙈 Chu He is a transmigrator who lies that she's pregnant with Ah Jiu's baby to save her ass (Miao people are all amnesiac). But this Chu He cannot differentiate people, she recognise Chi Yan as Ah Jiu. Then they're back to Chu He's hometown and they encounter a missing women case on the way.

Forget about its release date (yesterday) since I'm busy with movies and normal-length dramas. Now it's time to catch up my vertical drama starts with Yi Hang (that's also been forgotten).

^^ That's so wild lol I am so addicted to vertical dramas right now. But I have honestly seen more goofy stuff in the American-themed ones than in the Asian-themed ones. I've loved every C-Drama I've seen so far on any app.

The goofiest thing I ever saw in a vertical drama? Oh, boy. Actually, it's probably the ridiculous use of dummies and not caring for accuracy when using them but it happens in too many of them to pull up all instances so I'll just refer to this one I recently watched. I don't know what the actual drama is called but here's a link: [X]

The storyline is the gender reversed version of that one Terry Guo drama where he tames an untamable class of delinquents but is secretly a mafia boss himself. This time, it's a woman as the main character. The scene I'm referring to with the horrible dummy is right at the opening few seconds, she and her gang rough up a man & this incredibly silly looking dummy is just casually launched out the door. 

A shot of the dummy vs the actual guy it's supposed to represent: [X] [X]

Oh, I've been seeing this drama around. Is there any romance?

That was hilarious! Why hire a stunt person when you can just get a dummy? XD

I saw this one drama where a girl jumps off a bridge, and her dummy hits the water and promptly starts to float.

Wow, it's amazing how people could notice editing mistakes in drama. I'm bad at spotting such things.

I don't notice small mistakes, but it was really hard to miss the guy sitting in the corner lol. The screenshot's a little blurry, but the actual video was clear. 

I just imagined he was a crew member on his lunch break that wanted to watch the scene.
