I don't know how do you check this, but a fan could be a potential troll, so those categories are not opposed. Look at the fan wars and cancelling scandals in Asian ent. I don't want to mention names here but there are myriads of examples of devoted fans that became the worst of haters in a matter of seconds. I think here you are precisely referring to fan wars so fans from another actor? Yes, this happens all the time.

Probably trolling, because if members of the audience feel disappointed normally goes down a slower rate so to downgrade in a couple of hours it has to be a massive number of people evenn in fake accounts giving rate 1 or 2. It is the only way to downgrade a rating so fast

MDL is the worst to gather an opinion about any series. Some series are simply trolled, like this one that in few hours went from 8.8 to 7.9 that's not normal. In a reliable source we could see a progressively change of rating. This is the work of trolls.

Are you not watching???? So what are you doing here? I thought this was a forum for people discussing the series. Honestly, this is crazy.

so be honest that you don't like this series instead of pretending to be so "high and almighty" with your words.

I had to wait for 10 episode to find something that really moved me in this series. The story of Rong Xian played exquisitely by Quan Yi Lun and Ling Lon his wife warmly played by Pan Jun Ya has been the best in an otherwise very patchy series. I am glad I stick around. I am definitely going to follow Yi Lun career, so gifted.

Please don't try to be "neutral" when you are clearly not. We are not that naïve in social media any more.

One of the parents of the mother is from US but the novel does not specify from where

Yes, trolls are in action we have seen this before with other series, and it happens in few hours like e.g. I checked at 3pm and by 5pm has gone done form 8.8 to 7.9, there was not a 8.5, 8.3 markers no, 8.8 to 7.9 how we explain that? It looks like the trolls are part of the MDL team too!?

Well said, unfortunately MDL is not longer a reliable source. The rating here drop in few hours, not even in 24 hours. What's going on? As you say, other platforms are far more reliable

Yes it is hyper negativity. nothing like dropping from 8.8 to 7.9 happens in few hours!!! because I checked. I honestly don't know what it is going on in MDL is just not a reliable source anymore

Exactly my comment! This is just ridiculous MDL is really not a place to gather opinion about anything these days.

I love the series but I feel we need to know quickly why she is the way she is. I don't buy it because she is "mixed race", because all the people linked to Motel California are kind of relatives of some sort and all are despised. So there is more to it.

This has come down from 8.8 to 7.9 what kind of mafia runs this place?, and it is happening with lots of drama, some even long time after they have finished broadcasting. For my own sanity I block lots of people while I am reading.

This has gone from 8.8 to 7.9??? WTF is going on in MDL??? Trolls in action!!! with no better things to do. It is OK if it is going down but to be under 8? Additionally, it went in few hours from 8.8 to 7.9 there was not a 8.5, 8.3 rating because I checked. Are the trolls also working in the MDL team too? I wonder. This is a very intriguing series, with great chemistry and acting that we are just starting to discover. I have so many questions myself, we need to know more about FL character's motivation at the moment her character reacts so randomly. There is also that all people associated to Motel California are somehow relatives and looked down by the rest of the community, Why? this is precisely the journey we are in. I hope this explanation comes quick as not to incentive more negativity towards this promising drama.

I was surprised to read that some people here believe this is the first BL of Ito Asahi!? He is a "veteran" of the genre! He is the love of Atsuhiro (Mob) in Zettei BL..., which has became a kind of franchise. He also was in another production about a girl obsessed with BL which name escape me at the moment and I am sure there is at least one more.

I do, but i am still watching....there is not much what we can do about it....Mi Chinese friends, living in China told me that audiences there always raise their concerns about the lack of originality in this type of drama.

I hope so because I am the one that thinks the main CP chemistry is not yielding and while I found Rui Peng visually astonishing in this role he has just about lifted an eyebrow in 8 episodes that I have watched. I have never seen his acting before, but I have the impression that in other roles, like spy period dramas he would shine. He has that kind of demure about it.

Ep 7 Some of the characters in this series are unbearable, how people are coping is beyond me. That turtle guy I just fast-forwarded furiously. This is not for me, I am finding it boring. I have watched so many dramas by Bai Lu and this is not a fresher version of herself, I guess most fans would like to see her doing the same over and over again. Same expressions, same mannerisms, same "jokes", she is a good comedian but something is not yielding for me in the overall presentation. I am glad that I am not the only one with this opinion based on the comments below. The most interesting characters are Chong Zhao and Fu Ling but their development is not coming fast enough.

We need to wait and see what has happened to these two in those years. For once he managed to have a successful career as a vet and on the shallow part he lost weight! Let's not underestimate those big changes. We don't know if he dated other girls but it did not work out. Some k dramas bring that premise. Love Next Door is one of those. I have not read the novel so I don't know if he went out with somebody else. On a connected subject, BLs genre typical premise is that they can wait for years for that person they love in the past. This is what it makes them so romantic and popular. It def a recipe that works with most viewers. obviously you don't enjoy it.
