Trying to explain the layout of the apartment/bedroom would have been the perfect moment for a Charlotte graphic! Lol - did not realize just how cramped the filming conditions were.
True! If only I had Charlotte’s skills!
Mrs B would have been single handedly responsible for the toilet roll shortage
😂
Also green beans and jello would be sold out everywhere 🤣🤣
Omg, YES! Early pandemic would've been Mrs. B's time to shine! And she'd feel so vindicated that she'd been right to panic from the very start of late 2019 when it took over the world in 2020. I can almost see Lizzie trying to hide behind Darcy and Jane trying to smooth things over with everyone. It's so wonderful to see Julia Cho again! Hope she'll be back for plenty more episodes
Me too!
This show was really the Gilmore Girls of CZcams with the intensity of the scripts
HA! Well put.
The way I fangirled when Julia appeared. So nice to see the two of you together again
I'm loving the commentary insight on these videos! And it's remarkable how many of my own memories are coming back in ways I don't experience just re-watching the series.
On episode 1, everyone was talking in the comments (rightly so) about the amazing work done adapting Lydia's character in the latter part of the series, but what I remember distinctly loving about the earlier episodes was how central the Lizzie/Charlotte friendship was, and how much that raised the stakes for their disagreement later on.
Charlotte can end up feeling like a bit of a side character in other adaptations, mostly there for Lizzie to bounce off of during the Collins portion of the story, but the two of you built a palpable, beautiful friendship on screen that felt like one of the central pillars of the series throughout.
Oh, thank you. That's lovely. I love the Lizzie-Char relationship and I'm so grateful we were lucky enough to have Julia Cho bring her to life.
Mrs B would so have had Jane quarantine with Bing....
She just calls Jane, and it's a little late in New York, and Mrs. Bennet goes, "YOU BETTER BE QUARANTINING WITH BING RIGHT NOW!"
That is really interesting, I think the "too much makeup at the start" also got incorporated into the spin-off book The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennett
Kate did a great job explaining/incorporating a lot accidental things from the show and giving them purpose/meaning in the book
Oh my god - so I watched LBD from the moment Hank talked about it and have only just realised I have that same dress as Lizzie, which I still wear today - H&M button down shirt dress, elasticated waist, silky blue lining, a pocket over each boob. 10 years! I should probably buy some new clothes.
Yes, that was the dress!
I just this past week pulled out my DVD set and did a complete rewatch (and kudos to the hard work that went into those, including putting, in order, the Domino and Lydia videos for a more complete story). And it reminded me that Julia Cho is the best Charlotte ever. Charlotte is (next to Lizzie) my favorite P&P character, and never more so than in her LBD incarnation. It is such a treat to listen to Ashley and Julia reminisce, especially the little behind-the-scenes nuggets.
What?! DVD set?! When and where?!
@@NoriMori1992 It was sold as a Kickstarter fulfillment item at the end of the series 10 years ago.
I'M SO GLAD TO SEE JULIA!! My love for the book led me to this series but still in the books I never really understood Charlotte's perspectives but with modern contexts and giving more time to the character, Julia's Charlotte will always always have a special place in my heart because that was when I finally understood her 💜
I love hearing about the apartment because I came to LBD through Internet friends and only found out it was my friend Jenni from high school’s apartment/project very much later.
Wow, it was an apartment and not a set? So weird that the living room had a door I can't wait to learn where Netherfield and Pemberly were filmed.
All the flaws you mention (due to lack of monitor) I didn't notice. I love behind the scenes things like this, telling details I'd never otherwise know or notice.
Netherfield, IIRC, was the same room - they just painted a wall and turned the camera 90 degrees. For Pemberley they hired an office space I believe - by then they had *slightly* more budget! If you're interested in behind the scenes discussions of LBD, The Pemberley Podcast has an interview with Jenni Powell - that's where I first learnt about "the set".
I am so glad to see Julia. Honestly in the book or movie or tv show I have never liked Charlotte as character. But I really love how Julia portrayed her. It was so much easier to understand her and identify with her. I hope we will see her again.
I think some of the inconsistencies/imperfections from not having a monitor is what made it feel so real, and was a reality that the later series lacked. I could truly believe Lizzie was a real person and didn’t have to suspend much belief that the things we saw on camera could go down that way. I never could quite believe that with the other series, even though (or maybe because) they seemed to have a higher budget.
ashley and i have the same "attempting to take a compliment" expression 😭
Thanks for talking about the apartment you filmed in - I've always been curious about the set layout! It's very believable in how it's styled and it feels like you're upstairs in the Bennet house. Hope to see Julia back soon!
Juliaa!!! ❤❤ I almost forgot how much I love her Charlotte!! And, this might be a weird complement, but her voice is SO beautiful! Like, i kinda wish she had a podcast
It is a little weird that the days are different, I will always associate LBD with Mondays and Thursdays (and the spinoffs with Tuesdays and Fridays), but weird in a good way. I'm looking forward to always associating LBD10 with Saturdays and Tuesdays
Hearing about the layout of the apartment and filming locations was so interesting, I'd love to hear more about it in future episodes when the setting occasionally changes!
Oh you will
will the Look Back Diaries involve Domino's and Lydia's videos? that would be so cool and make the story more complete
I’ll definitely talk about them
You’re right, Julia still looks THE SAME
kinda shocked that lbd was filmed in an apartment like that, i always felt it looked so professional! but homey, so i always thought it was talented set direction and setup. it makes sense though. it seems like it was a very close-knit group of people, yes? would you mind touching on that in future episodes? i'd love to hear more behind the scenes of how it all truly came together
I seriously can’t wait to see anyone on the cast as guests on this series! I’ve kept up with most of not all members of the cast on Twitter so it’ll be really cool to see their takes on it
Omg it's Mr Bennet herself, Charlotte Lu?! 😮🙌
Just popping in to say I’m getting weirdly emotional listening to your stories of this low budget production. My friends and I are artists in our twenties trying to make things, and it’s very much the same. And I’m all full of warm feelings that the people that made one of my favorite things in the world were doing just what I’m doing now. So loving this series!
You can do it!
Wow, this is so interesting! I definitely thought the lbd was filmed in a studio, it looks so professional!
I'm loving these in-depth discussions, I feel like I'm learning a lot
I'm late watching these recaps, but I just want to say that when Julia showed on screen it got me really emotional. I don't know how to explain, or why it made me emotional, but it felt so heartwarming seeing you both together again...
I want to say thanks again to everybody that worked on the show. The LBD is what made me really learn English since there weren't any subtitles available at the time, and nowadays I work as a translator
it's wild to hear about all the limitations on set because i could never have guessed it from the final product!!! so impressive!!
It's amazing how you two got that friendship dynamic down so fast!
Yay, I missed the first episodes of Look Back coming out, so played catch up today and also set up notifications. So interesting to hear about the apartment you filmed in and the logistics.
Also I started watching I think around 10 episodes in, so looking forward to the 10th anniversary of that. Pretty sure I found out about the show from a friend posting about it.
I'm having such an emotional reaction over these lmao I discovered LBD in 2014 (I was Lydia's age at the time), and I remember I felt kinda bummed out, like I was late to the party. But I have watched the series so many times over the years, and recommended to so many people as well, that now it almost feels like I was there from day 1. I also threw at least 3 watch parties with friends over the past 8 years, to watch the whole series with them. I'm so glad I get to experience this rewatch with everyone now!!!!
Thanks for making these videos, really enjoying them so far.
Love this idea! Don't know if others agree, but personally I would love to see you watch the episode with the audio turned up louder and then pause for discussion, more in the traditional 'reaction' style. Really enjoying the behind the scenes info but it's hard when two things are happening at once!
No ❤️
Love that you’re doing these! It’s been fun following your growth after the series and feels like such a nice full circle moment to see you revisit it :)
Loving the behind the scenes info. ❤
My heart is so full watching these Look Back episodes 🥰
I am loving this!! Are you going to cover the bonus videos like the Lydia ones?
So great to see "Lizzie" and "Charlotte" together. again!!!!
LOVE THIS!! yall are adorable and i love hearing how much work and prep went into the series, yall make it look so easy!!
so grateful you’re doing this series. lbd was a massive comfort to me in my teens. thank you for revisiting it with us!
So nice to listen to you and Julia reflect on the series. Really enjoying the new knowledge we’re gaining from y’all
Oh you guys together 💕
I was thinking about some moments from Pride and Prejudice and decided on a whim to rewatch the LBD and then CZcams gave me a helpful recommendation for once and your rewatch videos popped up! I know I'm late to the game, but I can't wait to watch them! Thank you so much for doing these!
I hadn't thought about how wonderful and nostalgic it would be to hear the voices of all the LBD actors 😍
When you said it's so lovely to see you, I got very Jane Bennet vibes :). Also, loving this series so much! I cannot believe it's been ten years
I don't do anything in film, but I love watching behind the scenes thing, so when you talked about how you filmed *eight* episodes in a day and how many pages of script you were doing, my jaw just dropped! That's a LOT! How long of days did you guys do? I'm guessing the one advantage you had in getting them all done was that you never had to do multiple camera angles, it was only the one setup. But gosh, wow! I have even more respect for all the cast and crew now!
Thanks for doing this, I love hearing about the behind the scenes stuff on how shows get made and this one is very special. If you recap 2 episodes per week, does that mean you plan on doing this for nearly a year? Follow up question, will you also cover Lydia's vlogs? Or will that be a Patreon extra, if so, good thing I'm a backer.
Yup, I said in the trailer, this is a year long project. I'm following the original LBD schedule. I didn't quite realize what I'd gotten myself into though 😂
ahhhh so wonderful to see Julia! The best Charlotte there is.
Are you planning to watch only Lizzie's videos, or do you think you'll also be watching the other character's videos as well?
I’ll definitely be talking about them, but I wasn’t a part of making them so I don’t have commentary to add
I always thought you shot in an actual house for these xD
I do wonder if they hadn't gone with Bing Lee, would the name have been kept Charles Bingley? Cause then there would be a Charles AND a Charlotte and that feels a bit much to me haha
I would love to hear how you all heard of the project, what drew you to it and how your auditions, if any, went.
I discussed my audition experience in the extended version of episode one available through my Patreon
The days got me confused… on Thursday, I was like, for sure there will be an episode today… and nope…
You can sing for an intro?
I like that in the Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet, we find out why Charlotte was busy…amongst other things. 😬
I don't remember! Also since all of that was made up after the fact, it wasn't part of our experience while making it, which is kind of weird.
I've definitely thought about how Mrs B would let all her single daughters in a covid bubble for months if it meant they would shack up with a rich bachelor - similar to the stay at Bing Lee's place 😂
It's a more plausible excuse than a remodel!
My guess is you were probably doing the amount of material they would do on a soap. Maybe in some cases more on the days you were filming eight of them.
Oooh, I think Mrs Bennet would be ready for the pandemic, but after maybe 2 months she'd get desperate her daughters aren't meeting any eligible young men and are just aging at home, becoming spinsters for life!
A "normal pace" watching LBD is three weeks
how do you both still look the same still?! fountain of youth?
