Did you miss the entire plotline explained right at the start of the show and jump straight to episode 2? Because…
You assumed the supposed gender composition of the audience. You have no evidence that the ratings predominantly come from women, and you seem to treat that presumed demographic fact as device to dismiss the rating. That's misogynistic.
I didn't say this drama was automatically good because of its high rating. I said many of the weird things you mentioned didn't happen, and that you're crazy if you think a drama would be so easily successful if it had a ML who's poisoned the FL and then is "mad at her for trying to save her life and she feels bad".
In the actual story, he believes he's been betrayed by someone he loves. In your take, he appears to be punishing a woman for trying to survive. Those portrayals have very different moral implications. Of course, you don't need to finish a drama before criticizing its first couple of episodes. You can reasonably say that the premise or early developments put you off. But if you want to criticize later developments, you need to understand what actually happens in them.

So you're saying: it's rubbish because according to you, it shows women as weak (fighter got beaten and turned dancer) and stupid (the guy who poisoned her got mad at her for trying to live and she felt bad for him). And the reason It has high rating is because mostly women rated it high. And because it's women, the rating isn't valid. TLDR: Women are stupid and can't see that they're being misrepresented as stupid (?!)

My fam in drama-watching, you strawman fallacied an entire drama, most of which you clearly haven't even watched. Do you really seriously think it makes sense for someone to be mad at another person for trying to save herself? And then for that story to get an 8.8 score from 53K people?
Chinese ent industry is like an amazing artist that is in dire need of therapy. They've been developing the most bizarre habits and each new one is weirder and creepier than the last.
The rating was high, im just starting, and episode one was ordinary, bad even, hated that bullying shit, and the…
I was annoyed too at first, but you'll know later that he had a reason for not wanting the thing to escelate.
The bullying, I feel you. Can't be helped. Annoyingly, recently every kdrama seems to have to start with long depictions of bullying. The drama will move on after first episode.
I'm on episode 6 so far and I'm confused... is it just me or does the show pick up flavor further along the way…
If the story didn't grip you by ep 7, then I guess it's not for you. But if it's about the romance and leads relationship, I'd say hold on until the end of ep 10.
I give up. Have a nice day.
And it's definitely not Han Sang Un.

Yeah a real adaptation is just too good to happen.
But if it did, it'd be crazy good
