Ever since the episode with the kiss scene was released online, K-netizens have been in a frenzy about the duo. One fan commented that "Whoa, this is honestly kind of amazing...", while another shared that 'If this happened 10 years ago, it would've been chaos. Taecyeon was my bias in 2PM."
Many netizens commented about how if the scene had aired 10 or more years ago, the Korean public would have been outraged, and the main actors would have faced a lot of ridicule. They also commented on how shows have been changing with time, and so have people's mindsets as well.
Another comment from a K-netizen read that "Can't believe the people who sang the Caribbean Bay song together are now in a drama together', while another comment from a netizen stated that "I thought it'd be too cheesy, so I wasn't going to watch, but it's actually a fun light watch LOL. Seohyun's acting has improved a lot too."

Mohit Suri Accused Of Copying Korean Films (Again) As Internet Calls Saiyaara A "Rip-Off" Of A Moment To Remember

New Delhi: Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, released in theatres on Friday (July 18) and opened to an impressive Rs 21 crore at the box office. What's Happening The Mohit Suri directorial has received praise for its music and performances, but has also caught the attention of Internet users for a different reason. Many believe Saiyaara closely resembles the 2004 Korean film A Moment To Remember. The romantic drama follows the love story of Krish Kapur (played by Ahaan Panday), a short-tempered musician, and Vaani (played by Aneet Padda), a shy aspiring journalist. The story takes an emotional turn when Vaani is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's, which puts their relationship to the test. The Internet's Verdict Social media users were quick to draw parallels between Saiyaara and A Moment To Remember, which was directed by John H. Lee and starred Son Ye-jin and Jung Woo-sung. That film also revolves around a couple whose lives are changed when the woman is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's. Despite her decision to leave, the man stays by her side and helps her relive their memories together. A user wrote, "Major plot points are literally the same, like Alzheimer's, confusion with ex, girl running away. Also, the ending where he recreates the past moment is the same..." Another wrote, "So Saiyaara is based on A Moment to Remember? Mohit Suri and his love for copying South Korean movies. Ek Villain as an adaptation of I Saw The Devil was far apart, as one was an action, revenge drama with no side plot and the other was a romantic drama." While some accused the makers of lifting the plot, others defended the film. "Always remember every top artist copies from one another but you have to give your own flavour while doing and not every filmmaker can do justice or copy another work if they don't have the talent to do so," said one user. Another added, "It's a well-made adaptation even if it is. But I don't think so, this Alzheimer's/disease-ridden love story is a common trope among many love stories and it works since it provides a direct emotional connect." As of now, the makers of Saiyaara have not released any statement on whether the film is an official remake of the Korean drama. Saiyaara is written by Sankalp Sadanah, with dialogues by Rohan Shankar. The music is composed by Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Rishabh Kant, Vishal Mishra, Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nizami. The film is produced by Yash Raj Films' CEO Akshaye Widhani.

Music composer Pritam , who has brought the charms of Bollywood music with his recent album ' Dino', is going back in time, and tracing the roots of his creative partnership with his frequent collaborator Anurag Basu , the director of ' Dino'. Pritam recently spoke with IANS, and shared that the two connected for the first time almost 27 years ago when both of them were new to the market and were exploring the space of television shows. He told IANS, "First time, I collaborated with Anurag was in 1998. I had a friend who introduced me to Anurag and said that we are making a serial about ghosts. He used to do a lot of serial that time. So, I did the title song on Zee TV. Then, he was making films, he did 'Murder', which was a huge hit. He became a successful director after 'Murder'. And then I did 'Dhoom'. I became a successful music director after 'Dhoom'. So, that's when he connected with me. That's how we did 'Gangster'" Both 'Murder' and 'Dhoom' released in the same year. While the music of 'Murder' was done by Anu Malik, 'Dhoom' was directed by Sanjay Gadhvi . 'Gangster' marked the first cinematic collaboration between Pritam and Anurag. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

And we got very well connected and like we became friends. We used to regularly meet in that common passage of the building. And so I did 'Gangster' with him". However, it was not 'Gangster' which excited the composer in him, it was their second film 'Life in a Metro'. Incidentally, Anurag narrated both the films to him one after the other. Pritam said, "I remember he narrated 'Gangster' and 'Life in a Metro' together. I got very excited when I heard the narration for 'Life in a Metro' because of the structure of its screenplay, you know that hyperlinked structure". "My diploma film from FTII was also based on the hyperlink structure. I was immediately drawn to 'Life in a Metro', it was a different animal", he added. Is 'Saiyaara' The Next 'Aashiqui'?
