It is, isn't it? FSF seems to have escaped more or less unscathed; it's Yang Mi who seems to have taken the brunt of it. People have gone from, "Oh, I like her/want to see more of her!" to "I cannot stand how she's shot to stardom like this! I'm sick of her!" It's a bit baffling, really.
I completely agree that Yu Zheng's a shameless copycat and totally egotistic, but I'm kind of wishing people got over it now. The way people on forums are harping on about the matter and not being able to even talk about Gong without adding some sort of disclaimer about how they hate Yu Zheng is getting ridiculous. Gong is definitely not everyone's thing - it's far from unique, is far from a critical masterpiece and if you like your history accurate you'll probably have hysterics - but really, it's a drama. If people don't enjoy it, that's fine, but repeating it all the time like it's some sort of shield = silly.
LOL at Twilight example. Nothing truer has ever been spoken.
