New TG youku series ["Proud of love" (别那么骄傲) AKA "Don't be so proud"]
From: guest (mX9) , 91 months, post #1
There is a new series coming out soon called Proud of love (别那么骄傲) but listed as Don't be so proud. It features a body swap between rich, cool guy and outcast girl. Here's the trailer:

Hey guys the series is on youtube but not all of it. The body swap occurs at the end of episode 2 at 18:00 minute mark.

which one is # 3? PLS

From: guest (vup) , 91 months, post #5
Yeah, it's hard to navigate the episodes w/out roman letters in the title.

But, it's here .

I watched it and it was fun but I didn't have subtitles. The switch really doesn't get explored until the 3rd episode.

Talk about genre savvy...

While they try to reverse the swap, the m2f character (a science prodigy with IQ of 150) tries to study scientific researches to find a way to doing it while the f2m character does research by... well... analyzing stories about body swap...

Perhaps anyone here producing series or movies in the future could have the characters doing research and bumping into metamorphose.org... LOL...

@ post #6 What is the movie behind hot chick ?

From: guest (Zhang Fei Fan) , 91 months, post #8
- @guest 7, it's a hong kong movie 好男好女 or "Boys?". Unfortunately. it seems like this is a crossdressing genre and not real transformation.

- The good news is that Viki.com has bought the right to broadcast this series which means there will be likely be an English sub. Bad news is, as of now, Viki.com hasn't broadcast it yet.

- Beside than TG body swap, another transformation-related part in this series is a minor plot about age progression in episode 4 to 5.

- like the previous China's TG series Go Princess Go, Don't be So Proud is an online novel which is adapted into a web series. I haven't read the novel yet but from my checking it appears that there will be a few more swaps. It appears after they manage to swap back they choose to swap again to solve a few problems they have caused when they were previously swapping, before finally swapping back for good. And then it happens that one pair of their friends, the macho muscle man and the gorgeous lady also somehow got swapped. However, don't get your hope high as the series already has too many deviation from the source material (see below for details).

- Someone is already translating the novel to English since last year. However, judging from the speed of the translation, it appears that the translation will still be ongoing after the series is long over.
Clickable link

- The fans of the novel ABSOLUTELY hate the series. The reasons include:

  • The story completely changed from the source material. Only the characters' name & basic structures remain. Otherwise, they consider it a different story altogether

  • The slapstick style of the series which is different from the more grounded nature of the novel

  • The main characters' personality were changed from lovable in the novel to being annoying in the series

  • Too many outdated tropes, stereotypes of Asian idol drama, nonsensical plots, humourless comedy. Less focus on the characters' inner struggle and meaningful interaction as in the novel.

  • Too many focus on gay love/bromance in the series, which is only barely touched upon in the novel. In fact, the series has become one of the favourites of the Asian gay love fans.


However, bear in mind that these are comments from fans of the source material and it is well known that novel's fan can sometimes be a bit irrational and many have unrealistic expectations when their favourite work is adapted to screen.

there seem to be 10 episodes posted so far
you tube has a very rough translation to english, click on the french captions and change it to english
the episode numbers appear on the sidebar

@post#8 Thanks

I agree with some comment that too many focus on gay love/bromance, this make body swap become minor plot :(

Episode 13 might change your mind. Both the swapped characters had to dress up to impress one of the character's parents. The guy in the girl's body got all girly and dressed up and the girl in the guy's body liked it.

From: Weirdoid , 90 months, post #13
I absolutely LOVED the scene near the end of the first clip where the ftm was in the guys locker room, fondling his chest and being turned on by guys. Is their more scenes of the FtM being girly?

I watched all eps and want loud of scream that this not end yet.
So bad season 2 will on air on Noverber

From: guest (Zhang Fei Fan) , 90 months, post #16
I am normally not into high school or college swap so I am a little surprised that I find this entertaining.

I like how in the beginning it seems that this is just another "accidental unexplained unintentional swap" kind of thing, then near the end of Season 1 the mechanism of the swap and the mythical element involved were revealed, with a subplot on the swap between another characters. In the last episode of season 1 the possibility about government or corporate conspiracy was even hinted.

Of the TG elements, unlike other swap stories in which most of the comedy happened around the m2f character, in this drama most of the humors come from the f2m character. This is to be expected, since the lead male character is a rational & stoic high IQ science student, so it is in his character that he deal with the situation calmly and avoid doing things that will rock the boat. The lead female character on the other hand is a bit naive, childish & hysteric kind of girl and most of humors when they were swapping were mostly revolve around her (in his body).
