I am probably in the minority here, but I actually love Xu Ziquan’s flirty personality. It’s so rare to see…
I think many of us are right there with you. Banter, cheekiness, teasing; and always from an expectation that she can match him, whatever he dishes out. So refreshing! Unfortunately, I think the rarity is in them being characterised as equals.
I loved his character as well! We seldom see characters like his. I can't even remember seeing one like him lately.…
What?! Really? This is the 2nd time today I've heard of a Kdrama Cdrama comparison that is just ridiculous (the other being Meet Yourself and Hometown Ccc...) Again I'm baffled: What perspective are people carrying, to view things in this way?!
It's frustrating that the Korean Broadcasting Association has even given this air. It's a completely baseless claim, but addressing the comments so publicly, emboldens commenters to believe they had some justification. The way they met relating to a pair of slippers?!? ...a similar logo!? I completely disagree, and see no similarity whatsoever. Can someone's own personal perspective really distort their viewing this much, or is it flat-out just made up, to be antagonistic towards a highly successful Chinese show?
I think this is an under-rated gem. I watched this when it aired, and find myself regularly rewatching, now for the 3rd time. It's heartfelt and sincere, and the romances are sweet. It also shines a light on the inherent problems with the kpop industry, if you care to pay attention. I wonder if going into this as NOT a KPop fan, is an advantage. I can watch it with no biases and just enjoy the show.
I totally agree. But it's a time honoured tradition (hear my sarcasm) that netizens have sway over scripts in…
In interviews, midway through airing, the screenwriter for EAW, talked about making script changes to suit knetz and international comments. I'm really sorry I can't give you references but if you want to fall down the rabbit hole and do some googly research, you can find lots of stuff about past dramas and fan influences on airing dramas. It's typical for dramas to begin airing before they've completed writing, filming and editing. So there's HEAPS of opportunity for things to be changed or cancelled, based on how it's received by the public.

- be "extremely good looking" yourself.
Still, I'm enjoying it
