Weekend idol dramas are in battle, CTV's "Romantic Princess" has beaten CTS's "Sweet Relationship", but it has also risen the viewers thoughts regarding the filming of "Romantic Princess", from the sets to the lines it seems similar to the Korean drama "Goong - Princess Hours", and CTS's "Sweet Relationship" is also filmed like the Japanese drama version of "Sweet Relationship"


GTV "Romantic Princess" has #1 ratings, but is questioned by viewers for many similarities with Korean drama "Goong".

"Romantic Princess's" story line is basically about a poor girl "Xiao Mai", real identity is the granddaughter of a wealthy family, regcognizes her roots and returns to them then with the successor Wu Zun they are against each other but a relationship begins, and in the Korean drama "Goong" its palace prince and commoner girl get married because of prior family arrangements, the two from not caring of each to loving each other type of story. From just the first chapter, both drama's main female characters are entered into wealthy doors "Royalty" are quite similar, including the black vehicles that carried them, the reaction when they entered the mansion, and with the male lead showing against each other which shows similarities.

Also some netizens agrees "Romantic Princess" and earlier in the year's drama with Lee Wei and Li Xiao Lu's "Sparrow Falls in love with Phoenix" acting and scenes are nearly the same, questioning where is the originality of this drama?

Towards this, GTV drama dept manager Chen Zhi Han says "Romantic Princess" is adapted from the Japanese manga "Romance Godan Katsuyou", completely original from the author. She does not deny that many points and shooting scene are somewhat similar, "We can only say that this sparrow becoming a phonenix idea is the basic spirit of similar stories, but different national conditions, the overall story structure is very different, besides aren't the rich usually portrayed this way, it is difficult to say who copied whom?"

She also pointed out the biggest difference in this drama, "Goong's" main lead already had someone he loved in his heart, so it arises the conflict between the female lead, but in "Romantic Princess" Wu Zun doesn't want to listen to fate, so he doesn't want to marry the female lead, the two's points are completely different", she further explained "from what I'm aware of, Japan's "Romantic Princess" manga was published first, Korean drama "Goong" later filmed, there shouldn't be a copying problem."

As for CTS's "Sweet Relationship" there are netizens saying they see similarities in the filming with the Japanese drama as well, there are also netizens saying that Patty is actually just imitating Japanase star Miho Nakayama's way of acting, producer Angie Cai has a different point of view: "prior to performing, all casts have seen the Japanese version, but the way Miho Nakayama's acting is more exagerated than Patty, a bit more similar to the drama version, and Patty has her own kind of taste, the Japanese version is more single line, the Taiwanese version added more extensions, relationships are written deeper so there's more to watch."
