Hard to Coax: Still climbing to the top despite controversy, 1 character's name was mentioned to make a meme

Hard to Coax in this broadcast season is becoming a good movie despite many controversies about the actors and plot. Besides, an unrelated character is suddenly mentioned in the movie.

"Hard to coax" starring Zhang Ruo Nan and Bai Jing Ting is a project that is receiving great attention from the public. When it was broadcast, the project caused a lot of controversy. Most of the reviews were negative for the main couple's acting and the plot of the film, which was changed quite a bit.

However, according to the latest statistics on February 22 and 23, "Hard to Coax" still had remarkable achievements. According to Chinese media, the number of views on the Yunhe platform on February 22 of "Hard to Coax" reached its "peak" when it led the Yunhe rankings with a view rate of 20.5%, equivalent to about 50.88 million views per day.

In addition, on February 22, Douyin also certified "Hard to Coax" as the successful film of the year. The film's related topics reached more than 10 billion views, and its real-time popularity peaked at 460 million. Currently, the film's temperature on the Youku platform reached 10,376 points, becoming the film with the highest temperature ever on the platform.

On February 23, Van Hop's views reached around 47 million views. "Hard to Coax" is currently leading in terms of broadcast performance and heat index on Datawin with 2,565 points (character Tang Dien accounts for 39%, On Di Pham 31%, Huong Lang 8%, other characters 22%). Based on the rankings, it can be seen that despite the controversy, "Hard to Coax" is still the most watched drama today.

However, a character unrelated to the film's content was suddenly "summoned" by netizens in the comment section from Weibo to Douyin, especially under the sweet videos of Tang Yan (Bai Jingting) and Wen Yifan (Zhang Ruonan). That person is Zhou Xiaoqi - Xu Guanghan's role in Your Wedding. This is a movie premiered in 2021, starring him and Zhang Ruonan, telling the love story from student days to adulthood of Yu Yongci and Zhou Xiaoqi.

Both of them liked each other, but for 15 years, they missed each other. In the end, Chau Tieu Te smiled bitterly, watching the girl he loved happily and radiantly walking with someone else: "Your wedding has everything, just not me". This ending still makes the audience feel resentful. Vu Vinh Tu's groom did not show his face, so in every subsequent movie of Truong Nhuoc Nam, when she was happy with her "new boyfriend", fans would "tease" Chau Tieu Te. Without prior arrangement, the comment section often appeared with "default syntax" such as: "So the groom that year was you (or with the character's name)", or "goodbye, the girl who has been with me for 15 years"... with a meme of Chau Tieu Te crying.

This joke has become "old but gold", enthusiastically responded by fans and netizens when creating a "multiverse" for the film just from the connection of being the same lead Zhang Ruo Nan. Some fans who are "obsessed" with Your Wedding also "dropped signals" that the producers could consider inviting Xu Guang Han and Zhang Ruo Nan to reunite in a sweet and fulfilling film to fix the ending of their previous collaboration.

Hard to Coax is adapted from the novel of the same name by Truc Di, in the same "universe" as the film by Tran Triet Vien and Trieu Lo Tu. The film stars Bach Kinh Dinh and Truong Nhuoc Nam, telling the story of Tang Dien and On Di Pham's love from high school to adulthood. He is the sunshine that drives away the darkness and heals the psychological shadow that has haunted her for nearly 10 years. According to Chinese media, the reason "Hard to Coax" achieved good results is because the film was broadcast at a time when there were not many strong competing projects. Some key projects such as "Quoc sac phuong hoa", "Bach Nguyet Phan Tinh"... had finished airing and could no longer maintain their popularity.

"Hard to Coax" achieved a record despite controversy, thanks to Trieu Lo Tu - Tran Triet Vien? Phượng Vũ17:31:23 25/02/2025After Vung Trom Khong The Giau, Kho Do Danh is the second film adapted from Truc Di's novel to air. Despite constant controversy, the work still achieved remarkable results.
