At the time, Hannah Winter, despite having acting skills and clenching a blockbuster hit with "Fairy," was still regarded as a girl group member, which couldn't withstand the sheer number of her haters.
Hayes Edwards was even worse-off, notorious for being a pop idol representative without acting chops, with not a single one of his shows escaping criticism.
With both leads like that, and supporting actor Louis Snyder having skills and a decent reputation, the quarrels between the fan bases of Snyder and Hannah never ceased.
"The Kite," despite trending more often because of these issues, did not enjoy a good reputation, and the general public's perception was poor.
As a professional agent, she could certainly see that. Therefore, it was within her expectations that "The Palace Wall" would surpass "The Kite" at the box office on the opening day.
But look at it now.
What is a counterattack, what is a reversal?
This is it.
Both face-slapping and embarrassing.
