why do people hate this, this litelary one of my fave slow burn romcom ðŸ˜
People don't hate it. It's very hard to empathize with the ml, even though he redeemed himself later. The writers made him too despicable to sympathize with. Besides, his childhood trauma isn't enough of an excuse to behave like that. It was much more interesting to watch the second couple, even though they were introduced already in a relationship. Also, it's too draggy.
Hey @Suwunoh, did you think I wouldn't be able to see your comment and reply to it because you blocked me? What a loser 🤣 Cry more kid
I only watch what I like. 99% of the highly-rated dramas on Douban deserve their ratings. But you can keep comforting yourselves with fantasies about ratings being hated, review-bombed or whatever other excuses. Let me repeat once again, popularity does not mean a high rating, and I’ve provided enough examples to prove this. LA is popular, but its viewer ratings are low. You’ve already proven your incompetence by making up excuses claiming that a 6.5 rating is good and pretending it’s just hate toward the actress. And now when you realize that doesn’t work, you merely hinting that ratings on Douban aren’t worth paying attention to. That's funny.
"ratings is not something casual viewers including me consider" Viewers want a good product. Ratings merely reflect the quality.
To make it clear Santa Barbara was a huge success and topped all charts but was the show actually very good? No.
"Douban rating is 6.5 — which I think is quite good for a modern drama"
Nope. It's a low rating for any drama.
"I’m personally thrilled that Love’s Ambition is a huge success. It has dominated the viewership charts and has already reached around 56 million per episode online."
I'll say it again. You know there are 1.4 billion people living in China, right? Most cdramas have high viewership.Especially with a star cast.
"clearly, plenty of people are enjoying it just like I am."
Nope. Popularity does not mean high ratings. I gave a very simple example proving this.
"Negative one-star reviews on Douban mostly look like targeted attacks on Lusi and PS accusations, rather than fair criticism of the drama itself."
No, it doesn't look that way. You're probably wondering how to explain it, but the facts show that there's no reason for the widespread hate against the actress. There simply aren't any.
In conclusion, I want to repeat once again that popularity does not mean high ratings. You, like another commenter below, simply don't want to see the inconvenient truth. You're simply manipulating statistics. You're presenting high viewership as a result of high ratings, but that’s not how entertainment works.
