Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

For some reason this specific video's audio cuts off after 2 seconds. I have tried the episodes before it and the audio contains no issues. Edit: The episodes after have their audio cut about 10 second in. I am only downloading the audio to test if all the audio is there instead of downloading the whole video with audio to save time in testing the audio. The issue still exists when I download the audio with video.

My command for above: youtube-dl -v -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 320k --sub-lang en --write-sub https://www.dramafever.com/drama/4769/7/She_Was_Pretty/

Problem still exists with: youtube-dl --sub-lang en --write-sub https://www.dramafever.com/drama/4769/7/She_Was_Pretty/

Same thing happens to me, with any video on the site, with version 2018.09.10.

Can confirm using mpv and vlc with
youtube-dl version 2018.09.26
on
Linux-4.18.0-1-amd64-x86_64-with-debian-9.5
with
Command-line args: [u'-v', u'-u', u'PRIVATE', u'-p', u'PRIVATE', u'https://www.dramafever.com/drama/5200/1/my-id-is-gangnam-beauty/']
Also
youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 -u PRIVATE -p PRIVATE https://www.dramafever.com/drama/5200/1/my-id-is-gangnam-beauty/
Gives me a 2 sec sound file.
