I can see how this might backfire. You notice a censored jump and start to feel the itch of curiosity as to what it concealed. I had to watch several of the censored scenes whereas I would have never just randomly watched clips of the show.

Also, love the presentation on this page.

The cuts are mainly obvious because of the sound glitch. I think when they would have a better crossover of the audio, it would be way harder to notice.

There were also one or two clips where they cut off someone midsentence where they didn't really have to; just waiting for them to finish their sentence to start the cut would have been fine. Very low-effort job all around. But I suspect that if you grow up with this sort of thing, you just assume that it's normal, possibly just how foreign shows are made. You might not think anything is wrong until someone points it out, and shows you the uncensored version. But how many people in China would have access to an uncensored version?
