I think no BGM is better lar... not so distracting.. what I do is I switch to miniplayer place it in one corner, while I am playing other games on the other side.

After watching a couple of episodes this weekend, I realized it isn't the lack of BGM that was disturbing me. Some scenes the content creators got add BGM but still got the very unreal feeling. Finally realized what it was, it is the lack of background noise. People move but there's no rustling of cloth, no foot steps. Strong wind blow but there is no wind sound, no leaves rustling, lightning strike got no thunder, fire blast got no roar etc.

It is badly encoded... I think the original probably posted on Chinese social media sites... then someone download it and post on YT...

Don't think is badly encoded? Seems like all such videos are lacking in the same way. Just randomly sampled a few different ones, all same problem now that I've identified it. Basically the original soundtrack which may contain background sounds have been stripped out and replaced by dubbed dialog and the occasional sound effect if they remember it. Some scenes they forget to, knock door, drop item also got no sound :s13:

No sound means you can still hear them talking but the background is unnaturally silent.

Could it be the YT uploaders fear copyright issues with BGM / BMSongs that's why they only strip the dialogue?
I dun watch from YT now, but thru apps or other 短剧线上看平台
But seems like got some newer YT uploads dun have this issue liao... The older 短剧s in YT all got this issue
