Her opinion is that "love stories involving constant hitting and screaming and dramatic twists and turns are not the stuff of real life, and Chiung Yao's series departed too far from reality. This in fact has been a chronic problem of Taiwan's dramatic serials." Love succeeded largely because it wedded realism to Taiwanese subject matter.
「打打罵罵、波折起伏的愛情在現實生活中並不存在，瓊瑤的戲『失真』，而這也是台灣八點檔連續劇的通病」，她說，《愛》的成功，也從此讓「寫實」與鄉土劇畫上等號。
