I agree, though many dramas have similar concepts, especially when it comes to the love genre, but each one of them is different and unique in their own ways...though they may have a similar concept such as 'rich guy falling in love with a poor girl', it doesn't mean they're all the same just because of one typical concept. Every drama has their own ideas, that's what makes every drama different and unique.
This drama is currently "battling" Hana Kimi, so it's understandable that people have the urge to start comparing them
anyway, I'm re-watching ep 1 right now

[spoiler]
I'm up to the part when Qin Lang and Xin Lei were arguing in the restaurant, then QL went up to his room and XL stormed out. It suddenly started to rain and QL ran out looking for her holding an umbrella (so sweet of him!), he found her and saw her on the ground, he ran over and offered to help her up. My fav part is when they looked at each other after QL handed her the umbrella, the way they both looked at each other! Even though it was only a moment, but I could still see the love in their eyes!
The whole scene was sweet and cute, and might not have been exactly "romantic" to some, but up till when they looked at each other, it added the feeling of romance right into the scene!

my heart completely melted!

the couple themselves hasn't realize that 'love' is starting to blossom for them, but u can see it very clearly in their eyes!

this is definitely my fav scene in the entire ep!

What excellent chemistry Show and Barbie have! So beautiful and so natural!

that whole scene in the rain seemed so REAL to me, it didn't seem like just acting at all! Even my mom agrees with me

she's a big supporter of Vic & Barbie so she didn't like Show to begin with, but now after watching ep 1 with me, and seeing just how great their chemistry is (particularly during THAT scene), she loves Barbie&Show just as much as VB!
