We have mixed feelings towards a friend, has it ever happened? And do these confusing feelings have to go straight to sex? Do we immediately start thinking about sex, imagining ourselves in bed having sex without restraint? In fact, this is what the Korean version suggests, when we see Kang Hae Jun imagining himself kissing Kang Hae Jun and rejecting this idea, which is, let's say, a very superficial and mechanical way of approaching human relationships). I reiterate that the Korean version does not come close to the original Chinese drama - it transformed a masterpiece into a little drama, taking away all the depth of the characters and "resolving" the action in a simplistic way.
And just one more observation: Li Jian Jian, Ling Xiao, He Zi Qiu are not actually brothers, nor have they been together since birth. They began interacting as school-age children, creating very strong fraternal bonds as they grew up together. It was normal for them to call each other brothers, something common in Asian societies even among people not related by blood.

And if there was a deep feeling from He Zi Qiu for Li Jian Jian, which I don't think is the case, what was the problem? So many works of universal literature and films and series have plots with love triangles! Now it seems it is forbidden! And what's more: one drama is disregarded or diminished in favor of another, with this excuse, when in the case of Go Ahead, the representation of human complexity, in its relationships, emotions and feelings, is much deeper, more credible and sensitive.

What questionable aspects?!! Honestly, this drama, Go Ahead, the original, not a version, is much deeper in the depiction of human relationships, which can be intense, confusing, silent, profound, inexplicable, merciful, fraternal, loving in its most varied expressions, which the Korean version made much more superficial, in addition to the performance of the characters from children to adults being better in this C-drama.

Yes, yes... We know: Koreans are the best! Since audiovisual media was discovered and films and series have been made, there has NEVER been a film, drama or series from any country that surpasses the Koreans, those perfect films and dramas makers! As if Koreans only made masterpieces, having the Midas touch in everything they do! Sorry but this kind of comment is annoying: we don't have to submit to the Korean dictatorship of making dramas. Each of us has different sensibilities and ways of seeing cinema and drama. I personally appreciate different cinematic sensibilities and different narrative rhythms, and I like the fine, sensitive and "slow" way Chinese tell stories and give time for relationships to develop. Open your cinematic horizons, look East and West, South and North. And don't limit yourself to the Korean world, because before them so many, so many, so many, so many masterpieces were produced! (and let me say: many of the iconic scenes that only K say are originally Korean, accusing others of "copying", are nothing more than "copies" taken from many films and series from other countries) Let's cultivate ourselves!

Since when do the number of negative and hateful comments posted on MDL by 2 or 3 people systematically and repeatedly correspond to the opinion of the majority of people? Different opinions encourage the exchange of ideas and open up horizons, which is very different from general and hateful comments, whose objective is to create a bad atmosphere and distance people from dramas. They may be misleading at first reading, but people quickly understand the strategy. And that is why so many different people are already responding to you. And please do not play the victim...

We must look, see, think for ourselves... You trust too much in the opinion of some (who, by the way, are in an open campaign to defame this drama).

I also apologize for what I'm going to say next, but I have to say it, because I'm really outraged (and that's why I'm intervening more): whoever writes the comments knows perfectly well which tone he used and how often he used it. It is very clear that a hate campaign is underway against "Perfect Match", a drama that, WITHOUT A DOUBT, would normally have NO problem. Doing everything to cancel a drama is NOT making an HONEST and VALID critical assessment, it is something else..

"not a single green flag, romanticizing violence, and red flags"?!!!
Looking at things and people, grouping them into categories, groups, labeling them, means not seeing them in their existence, individuality and meaning, it means not seeing them. Our current problem is this need to put everything in drawers and compartments, preventing us from accessing world's reality. And this is how fiction works - we must look and see and understand, not trying to integrate things and people into simplistic concepts and ideologies, straitjackets that take away our freedom to think, understand and interpret.

I don't know how the reception to the drama is, but I hope the drama will still be successful.
Because, if we continue on this path, we run the risk of submitting ourselves to pseudo-enlightened groups that want to impose their cultural tastes on the majority, canceling and censoring everything that does not fit into their drawer-based vision, assimilating cultural products to objects that come from a mass production chain, increasingly massified, with the same ideological proposals without polyphonic voices or verisimilitude.

As if "Perfect Match" was the only drama among Korean, Japanese, Chinese that did not scrupulously respect historical rigor!! I have not seen nor do I see such a deep and aggressive concern with historical accuracy in relation to other series with these characteristics. And your argument does not justify the HATE campaign of pseudo-intellectual feminists who use their limited standards to create a bad atmosphere and prevent people from calmly discussing the drama, since they checkmate every positive comment, using a speech of hatred.

I hope so too. Because this indignation and cancellation campaign is really strange, when they let so many male characters who are much more problematic pass. But I am convinced that we are facing an orchestrated campaign to cancel the drama. The aggressive messages, the repetition of the same messages so as to always be first and the relentless pursuit of any and all positive comments, not letting people talk about the qualities of the drama, reveals this campaign. This environment has no reason to exist, other than the desire of some to prevent the first Cdrama to be broadcast by Netflix simultaneously with China from being successful. And that's sick...

I apologize in advance for the comment I'm going to write, but considering the disgusting and unethical campaign that some fandoms have orchestrated with "Love You Seven Times", I will not remain silent.
There is also a campaign here against this drama that comes from pseudo-feminists, whose feminism manifests itself in the cancellation of cultural products and even in the censorship of content — from books to films, series and dramas, including authors and artists. And they do NOTHING else! Their problems are the male characters who don't fit their stereotypes , not the REAL struggles of REAL women who suffer in the workplace, are abused, and experience domestic violence.
It is indeed a campaign because they systematically repeat the same messages and relentlessly pursue any and all positive comments, not letting people talk about the qualities of the drama, as they respond aggressively and take away all the positive tone, giving the idea that that everyone hates drama. and that only a minority values ​​it. I apologize for the outburst, but this environment has no reason to exist, except the desire of some to prevent the first Cdrama to be broadcast by Netflix simultaneously with China from being successful - and there is envy here, there is a desire for failure and fear.

For me, "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" is more problematic: we have a female character who, in the workplace, plays the roles of wife and housewife, taking care of her boss, including performing the daily tasks of doing his daily chores. the tie bow. Think about the message of women's submission in work relationships that is conveyed, the traps for young women who watch this type of drama, but it's okay, no one was scandalized - after all, it is a Korean drama, and as we know, kdramas only feature strong and green flag men - the CEO is cute, sweet and has traumas!

Same.

Sorry, it depends on how you say it... There is clearly a campaign against this drama here, it is not about presenting criticism, it is about systematically repeating the same idea and reposting it so that it is always in the first comments on the page. And I'm sorry to say, the aspects highlighted come from people who either didn't even watch the episodes, or, if they did, they didn't understand anything. But it seems that this doesn't matter to these people's goals.

The two have just met, how can they resolve their misunderstandings if they are not close and do not have the intimacy to speak openly? In many works of literature this happens, for example, between Mr Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet...

We know very well how to distinguish between honest criticism and a hate campaign, with the systematic repetition of the same messages, always placing them in the most recent comments, creating the false idea of ​​majority opinion, a well-known technique, which I will not name.

And just to finish (and now I'm the one repeating the same information...): the mother's character, with some caricatured and embarrassing features, is part of a centuries-old tradition of European (and world) literature and drama. In my country, a 16th century author already represented mothers this way and in Jane Austern this also happens. So why the weirdness and criticism? Why can't the mother's character, in this drama, also have these exaggerated features that we see, for example, in Mrs. Bennet?

I learned a long time ago not to be influenced by drama ratings here on MDL, having found many quality ones with quite low ratings. Because normally, if you notice, a Jdrama or a Cdrama with quality equivalent to a Kdrama usually has a lower rating than the Korean production, due to prejudices, stereotypes and trends. So, a lot of these ratings are also a result of hate campaigns orchestrated by fandons (remember the shameful campaign against Love Me Seven Times?). So, what matters is what I value and experience with a series/drama, not the ratings.
And sorry for what I'm going to say, but I have to say: there are people here who comment just to destabilize and boycott this drama. People can criticize the drama, pointing out whatever negative aspects they want. But systematically posting the same message, with exactly the same opinion, 4,5,6,7... times, is too much! And this goes beyond the scope of opinion, it is already a hate campaign and whoever writes it takes care to update it so that it is always being read.

First impressions are important in almost everything in life (although they are often not confirmed...). And in the reception of a drama too. This drama premiered yesterday - 4 episodes out of 36. Some people think that's enough to rate, others don't. All good. What I don't understand is the hypercriticism, the comments that range from bitterness to indignation just because the characters don't have 21st century values ​​and behaviors, or because there is no character development, or because they fail to communicate, creating misunderstandings (but, if the protagonists did not know each other...), etc. I have noticed that much of people's criticism lies in the fact that they do not accept or understand the Other - the Other from other times, from other centuries, the Other from other geographies, from other societies. This requirement for ethical, moral and behavioral anachronisms makes us poorer because we are increasingly ignorant about the historical past and the REAL world. And, ironically, with so much outrage and hypersensitivity, we end up blind to completely heinous messages and behaviors conveyed by so many famous series and dramas...
