Well, a lot of people don't like ancient rage-baiting tropes, spineless characters, and writing that is at least…
Honestly, I check up on all the shows that left some deeper impression on me, whether positive or negative, because I'm curious to see what others say. With this show in particular (I actually finished it), I dislike it so heavily that I'm genuinely confused by how popular it is. So I lurk around to catch the opinion of people who feel the same way as me about it. I don't interfere with fans to ruin their enjoyment; I only respond occasionally when people wonder why others may not like it. And this particular OP was so rude that I decided to answer. They edited their comment, so you may not see it now.
Let's not pretend most people do sex work because they genuinely like it. Especially Sunny.
That's how I know you're a troll. Serving crowds of smelly people is not enjoyable for 99% of sex workers. In case of Sunny, this was downright coercion because he was forced to do that.
Why would someone not approve a show just because it features an assault?) It's a common trope in dark romances.…
From how I felt it, Fan Xiao faced a lot of consequences for his actions, though not of the legal kind; that's one of the reasons why I personally love this series so much. But I know this is a very sensitive matter, so everyone will definitely have different opinions on it.

First and foremost, I'm talking about physical sex work like what Sunny was shown doing. People don't generally sleep with random people they don't like and aren't attracted to for fun, especially when there is a group of them.
I think it was extremely disloyal to the source material.
I sincerely hope you're just a bit out of sorts at the moment, and that normally you're... not this lost)) As of now, in another thread, you made a comment telling people who didn't like your show to check their brains, and when I politely explained why the rating might be low, you went on wailing how I'm harrassing you and being "nasty." Then you made another comment telling everyone not to respond to your comments because if they disagree with you, they "can't handle your opinion." Then you left another comment for me full of weird copy-paste of the same sentences. Then you addressed me in here, wailing about bullying and harassment again. You are literally the only person here who makes nasty comments and can't handle another opinion to the point of getting hysterical and nonsensical, and you're the one harrassing me at this point. Sober up, please.
It's not written well and has a lot of tropes people tend to dislike.
I think you got me confused with yourself. I never leave nasty comments. You, on the other hand, literally said people who don't like this show should have their brains checked :D A little self-awareness, please.
Wow how the hell did the number drop from an 8 point something to a 7.. point something. yall need to be checke…
Well, a lot of people don't like ancient rage-baiting tropes, spineless characters, and writing that is at least partially bad. Everyone approaches the series they watch from deeply subjective perspectives.

It's okay to admit you were wrong and this adaptation is not faithful to the source material at all) We all make mistakes, especially if it's been a while since you read it. No need to keep saying filler things when you can't present actual arguments, it just looks silly, like when a child keeps claiming they are right and the world is wrong just because they said so. No offense. Farewell now!

Well, see, it's easy to check. If you can argue that they haven't really changed the murderous possessive psychopath Jay to a soft, mild, emotional version, and that letting the police kill the old man is the same thing as letting the mother of a raped boy do it - and that it equally makes us question whether it's fate or Jay is behind it; that it's okay to start and end revenge in one episode and leave out at least a major part of the key details, then I'm very open to a discussion and changing my mind.

Not really cool, just a fact. You can't call an adaptation that drastically changed the personality of the main character, the arc of his mother, the pace of revenge plot, the death of the main bad guy, the main relationship, and other crucial moments faithful. It factually is not.
