Webisode Show: “All that Stuff about College Cohabitation”

In my gadabout college days, I made short films to kill time and deal with interminable boredom. Like this one. Sadly, there were no video-sharing websites back then, so the only way for me to share these videos was through expensive FTPs and self-made VCDs.
Last week, we spotted this interesting Chinese webisode show called “All that Stuff about College Cohabitation” (大学同居的那些事儿) — our translation in absence of an official English title yet. From the first episode we posted above, you may find the director, writers, and actors of this show are quite professional.
At first, seeing the word “Cohabitation” we thought it might be another shallow UGC video with an eye-catching title and hollow storyline. But it really exceeded our expectation: these college students are able to make something better than the shows you can find in traditional Chinese TV networks.
Sorry we don’t have much time to make some English subtitles for you, so… this is a good opportunity to practice your Chinese listening comprehension, just like watching Gossip Girl without subtitles was for me. Enjoy!

‘Cohabitation’? In my country we call them ‘roommates’.

Agree with you Steven, this is really good, better than some Chinese TV shows.
