Plagiarism accusations
The show has been accused of plagiarizing the show, Meteor Garden. Fans reportedly began to notice the similarities around the third episode, causing the the show's producers to revise the following episodes. Prima Entertainment has publicly announced that the show is a work of their own, though fans and the media protest. If the show is plagiarized, this violates copyrights, because Prima Entertainment never obtained the rights to make a exact match of Meteor Garden.[7][8][9]
