dnevets Posted January 5, 2013 at 03:01 PM Report Posted January 5, 2013 at 03:01 PM This one is quite recent, and follows the adventures of 5 male university students who live together on campus. It's rarely serious, sometimes funny, and often silly. Difficulty-wise I found it similar to 媳妇的美好时代 and 落地清开手机, and easier than the likes of 爱情公寓 and 蜗居 if that helps at all. There aren't really any parts that are difficult to follow, but that's not the only reason why I think 成人记 should be of particular interest to those that are just getting into watching Chinese TV: It only has 10 episodes and each one is only 12-15 minutes long! (At first I thought that an episode must've been split into several parts but that isn't the case - they really are just very short episodes.) So far I've watched 7 of the 10 episodes and I recommend it for a fun - if brief - distraction! More info than you really need to know can be found here: http://baike.baidu.c...iew/8650903.htm And here's a link to the first episode on Youku: http://v.youku.com/v...gxMTgwODAw.html Why "Banana Boy"? They do seem to eat a lot of bananas though... Quote
dnevets Posted January 5, 2013 at 05:14 PM Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 at 05:14 PM Apparently the meaning of banana boy is: 是像奶油小生的男的，趋向女性的! (http://zhidao.baidu.com/question/508080016.html?push=ql&group=0) Quote
dnevets Posted January 5, 2013 at 06:42 PM Author Report Posted January 5, 2013 at 06:42 PM Seems like occasionally a couple of traditional hanzi get slipped amongst the simplified ones. Anyway, here's some selected random vocab from the first episode: 精力充沛 full of energy 气血正盛 youthful and passionate (about life) 全世界五百强企业 Fortune 500 company 冠冕堂皇 lofty / ambitious 掩饰不了 unable to hide/cover-up 滥情 和 风流 changes feelings (about others) quickly/easily (as described in the TV show itself, I think it's basically saying he's had/got lots of girlfriends) 精华液 serum (beauty product) 五大三粗 strong/powerful/fit/muscular 南腔北调 to have a strange accent/to talk funny (?) 远远的暗恋暗恋 to quietly admire from a distance 1 Quote
大肚男 Posted January 7, 2013 at 12:31 AM Report Posted January 7, 2013 at 12:31 AM (edited) I started watching the series last week. it's silly, and the short episodes make it easy to watch. *edit* removed a paragraph that made no sense, sorry Edited January 7, 2013 at 02:55 AM by 大肚男 Quote
XiongNu Posted February 18, 2013 at 08:13 PM Report Posted February 18, 2013 at 08:13 PM It's short but it's also quite frankly cringe-worthy garbage, interesting they have a gay guy though. Edit- eh, watching the second episode, watchable enough actually but still pretty stupid lol Quote
