I know the actual ending is before it's revealed to be a script but I wish they had shown us Ji Fei(MLs sister) in the world outside the script. She was great.

Villain scenes just sucked for me. Ep23 was especially annoying. Just tell the fl the plan to lure the villain out and pretend together. They already did that in the past when they were at the beach instead of this noble idiocy. Skipped through that entire portion. Also why is the ml so hell bent on "saving" the guy who has done nothing but harm him and tried to kill the person he loves the most multiple times? He's not even dying but going to another world so why put himself at so much risk for a psychopath??

Just me, but I would have preferred the main plot to just be the ml trying to sabotage the novel celebrity couple while fl does the opposite. The main couple and everything surrounding their relationship (ml's sister, 2nd couple, office friends) were all great. Overall enjoyed it but fast forwarded most of the "drama" involving the psychopath villain

I think I would have liked this more if they weren't being chased. Keep everything else as it is but with a different reason for traveling together. Either than that, it was pretty good.

It's not bad, if the original wasn't there I'm sure the rating would be higher especially for a short low budget drama.

That being said, as someone who loves the original I did not enjoy this. Sang Zhi seems like she hates Jiaxu instead of having crush on him. Jiaxu honestly seems creepy, maybe uncanny. He constantly has a weird smile when talking, then when not talking it's a creepy smirk. Sang Zhi also doesn't have the shyness of first love shown in the og, Jiaxu doesn't have the charisma/charm described by Sang Zhi or the "sun energy" described by Yifan. Both actors didn't really show emotion in their expressions or voices, it was like they were reading a dictionary. I don't wanna criticize the actors too much but compared to the myriad of emotions Zhao Lusi and Chen Zheyuan show, they are really really lacking. Their eyes show nothing whike ZL and CZY portrayed so much from just their eyes.

I also didn't like most changes to the dialogue or plot. Most of them were to make things more dramatic or have a negative tone. The creditor being more involved, parents outright rejecting their relationship, the convo after Sang Zhi tells Jiaxu he was her crush from the beginning. A lot of the changes just change fluff/neutral to negativity. Jiaxu also became more "shameless", that alongside his smirk just made him seem more like a creep. Lack of music did not help with the atmosphere.

It's a lot of criticism lol, but for what it is, it really isn't bad compared to other short dramas. If you watched ths original and enjoyed it then I definitely don't recommend this. I cringed at a lot of scenes when comparing to the original. If you haven't watched the original and are looking for a short drama, this is better than others I've seen.

Then why is she so angry at Do Ha?

🤣🤣🤣same thing was being said about the sml in moonlit reunion. Having an obsessive and evil sml is annoying enough but having them have so much screen time baffles me.

10 eps??? I've just been reading the comments while waiting for it to finish airing so that I can watch. I don't have the patients to wait a day after cliffhangers and I wanna know if a show is SE or HE before starting. 10 eps seperation seems excessive. Fated hearts "seperated" the ml and fl for 1 ep and I was losing my mind

Atleast he had little screen time and more importantly, very very little interaction with the fl. The others are just constantly there until they turn evil

Let's agree to disagree and end it here. We veered off the original argument and are now going in circles. It was a nice chat

My problem is that the complains are saying the drama is being targeted by haters instead of the mistake that happened with the synopsis

That guy is probably the real son of the Xue family. Ml probably told him about his past experiences before he lost his memories or maybe someone else did. Watch the way that guy reacts when talking about ml's "father", it's pretty clear the xue head is his father. Painter said ml's father is noble and not the xue family head, ml lost his memories at 7 when the crown prince was assassinated, the grandmother wants another heir that isn't the ml even though he's so capable, there's a flashback where the grandmother argues with ml's dad and she mentions "your own son" when talking about sending money to the guy considered the crown prince. There are too many things that point to the ml not being a Xue
It could all be a red herring. The only other suspicion is the masked guy. They could also say the boy in her memory is the ml but he isn't the crown prince they are looking for,

Fl is kind of annoying me with this loyalty/love due to someone saving her life . Emperor "saved" her life and she's loyal to him even after he had her killed. Boy in her memory saved her life and he's now her love for life. ML saved her life, twice if you count what happened in the pit they fell. Yet he's still constantly suspected, treated coldly and gained no affection from her. How does that make sense. It woukd be fine if we didn't have the precedent of how she treats her life saviors in the emperor and boy in the memory so why is it so different when ml saves her life and treats her well?

I hope if ml is the crown prince, it's only revealed after ml and fl get together and isn't the reason she decides to be with him.

You're telling me about things that changed between the novel and drama when the question was asking for a synopsis that changed after the dream was released. A synopsis that changed to the point that the genre of the drama also changed. You didn't answer that question.

You keep saying "novel synopsis" when it was never specified that it was a novel synopsis.

So I guess you also can't give me a specific drama as an answer?

I don't know what point you're making in that reply.

This is what we're debating, "whether the low ratings are due to blind haters or the change in synopsis since you said the latter was irrelevant"

What you described happens with every big drama with well known actors. There was also a hater of of the ml on love in the clouds spamming that he's racist. Just block people like that. Look at the currently airing dramas, they also have unreleased episodes being rated. Fated hearts had a big sml fan who didn't like that he was changed from the novel who kept on calling the drama bad after mid stages because of the novel. It happens to every drama.

What do you mean yes. What drama/s is that? Had a different synopsis that changed after it was released? Changing the genre as well. Give me the names and I'll research the change and how it's ratings changed.

But people who put it on the watchlist don't know that. Remember the argument is whether the low ratings are due to blind haters or the change in synopsis since you said the latter was irrelevant. It doesn't matter who wrote it. What matters is that people saw it and planned to watch the drama because of it.

Same problem I had. It's also not just feelings, he's deeply in love with her. After all the things she tried to do to him and his family, he should find her very untrustworthy but alas

I didn't answer because 1) I confidently know the ratings of only 2 dramas (fated hearts and love in the clouds). On that same note, what other drama had a major synopsis change after it aired? One that changes it's genre.

I don't get your argument. The synopsis was on mdl, it didn't state that it was the synopsis for the novel. People put it on their watch list based on the synopsis provided by mdl. Once the drama aired, they watched it and found the drama to be different from what they were promised by the synopsis. They then likely dropped it and rated it. Thats not blind hating, it's disappointment from unfulfilled expectations.

That's still subjective. If more people think like that on mdl then the rating willl rise. If not, then it will stay low even if 50 people think its a masterpiece. 7.7 so it's atleast rising, we'll see where it stabilizes

You don't think the wrong synopsis is a relevant reason even though there are a lot of people asking about the rebirth in the comments? Why? There are more comments asking about the rebirth than comments plainly hating.

Which is why I say we look at what's different with this drama's release. The only difference is the wrong synopsis. Being good is also subjective. One of my favourite dramas is be passionately in love, it has a 7.8. I rated it 9.5. I'm not wrong and neither are those who rated it poorly.

I think the censorship only applies to modern dramas since it was put in place to prevent people from attempting to transmigrate/rebirth. It also kind of makes sense since Xianxia's are full of rebirth with no tweaks

I don't think the plot wouldn't be available for so long because this is a big drama with 2 well known leads.

I don't think the low rating is deserved especially if it's because of the wrong synopsis. I'm just annoyed at how every comment section believes their drama is being targeted by haters when the rating goes down. Imo, people should think and discuss about why the ratings are low instead of just repeatedly claiming "haters" and "it deserves *insert score*". It makes the comment section bad to read. It even takes over comments anoit what's happening in the drama

I'm not arguing that the reasons for it's low rating are warranted. My argument is that there is no hate brigade trying to lower the ratings of this specific drama. I'm also pretty sure rebirth is allowed for historical dramas since Si Jin just outright did rebirth with no repercussions.

And the reason for that difference compared to other dramas is that people are likely disappointed that it's not a rebirth drama as initially advertised. It isn't because of some agenda against the actors or the drama.

Let's forget all that. What do you think is the reason the rating dropped so much?

I agree that it's flawed but it's flawed against everyone. Slower paced dramas probably suffer more though.

FH and Shadow love had people hating on the FLs ages. For FH it quickly died down after it started airing but unfortunately Song Yi got age hate comments before, during and after the airing of SL. I'm not watching either S$B or WoF so I can't say much but the fluctuating is usually at the beginning then stabilizes out. For FH it a 100% fluctuated. It started at 8.3 then went to 8.1 then 8.4 within 3-4 days. It only stabilized when it got to 8.6 and slowly climbed to 8.7.

I agree with that but that's how the system is and it affects everyone. I also understand those who became angry after the drama turned out to not be one in the synopsis. No matter how good the drama is, it's not what was "promised" to them, it's not what they expected
