8.3 is still a very good score, and there's plenty of time for the drama to keep proving itself.

Are there people actually giving it zero?!Or 1 where a zero rating isn't possible?

As you would have noted in my post, I specifically said that I would have applied that rating to episode 1. It's great if you think the writing of that episode was amazing - different strokes for different folks.

People still rate Meteor Garden highly (and BoF - the only two adaptations of that story I have seen) and it is a revolting story, not a love story. The only good bit of MG was when she kicked him in the face.

Agreed. They're developing a really natural, healthy and supportive relationship, which is nice to see in a drama. I hate seeing toxicity portrayed as 'love', which this drama certainly does not. Lovely to watch.

Most of the comments have been pretty positive. It's certainly improving vastly to me since episode 1. I'm really enjoying it at the moment, but not all dramas are for all people, and that's fine. Everything is open for criticism.

Oh, there are definitely some unhinged Cdramas fans who give very low scores for a variety of stupid reasons, there's no denying that. There will also be people who didn't start watching the drama the instant it started airing, have started watching it now, and perhaps found the first couple of episodes not so good. Personally, I no longer post ratings of a drama while I'm watching it as a general rule - my opinion can swing so dramatically over the course of a drama, that it doesn't really seem

Some people will have only just started watching it, so may be rating it based on the (in my opinion) rough first couple of episodes.

I'm not an anti (I'm waaaaaay too old for that nonsense) and I would have given episode 1 a 5/10. The writing was as rough as guts. I really started to warm to the leads at episode 4, but some of the writing is still very questionable. It's a credit to the cast that they're doing such a good job. I'm hoping the writing continues to improve, because there's only so much actors can be expected to do to pull off a good drama

I'm not setting my alarm to watch this at 1:00AM (work is crushing me at the moment and I really need my sleep) but what's the bet I wake up and end up watching it then anyway?

I laughed my arse off in ep 6. Beware boys who like Whitman's poetry. Took me back to my youth when I had an ill advised romance with a boy who also liked Whitman.

I can't remember how I stumbled on this drama, but currently on ep 22 and really enjoying it. I love a zero to hero. CGI is horrific in some parts, but the comments on Viki make up for it :-)

Mostly because she's whiny, overdramatic, manipulative, and possesses the intellectual prowess of an empty cardboard box.

FL - BN.

The comments are infinitely better than the drama.

I just finished this, and I have to say I really admire the scriptwriters determination and dedication. They made choices, and stuck with them, and refused to be swayed from their vision by such shallow notions as logic and pacing. They set out to tell a bad story with nonsensical characters, and they succeeded brilliantly. I'm inspired.

I'm on ep 39 and I think we've just hit peak stupid. I thought we'd already been there, but apparently the scriptwriters like a challenge.

Jaysus I wish the FL would die, or have brain surgery or something. She's whiny, overdramatic, and such a manipulator. Why does everyone have such a hard-on for this girl? Their standards for women must be so low that having a heartbeat is enough to impress them.

She is a her (fenale), not a him (male)

Ep 11 has me rolling my eyes so much I can see my repressed memories. This girl is dumber than a box of hammers. She supposedly has a good grasp on physics, yet basic concepts like the sun are beyond her. She's not in some enchanted forest, because everyone else knows where tf they are going. She's being chased by bad dudes, so screams in order to give them her location. Good work, you thick bitch. I'd be OKish with her being stupid if her character was SUPPOSED to be two stubbies short of a six pack, but we've been repeatedly told how smart she is. Bad, bad writing.
