** Western listeners are also often baffled by how long it takes for the protagonist to ''finally'' stand up to their abuser. The is due to the newness of the concept that one can and ''should'' stand up to abuse after a long-standing "pacifist" ideal.

* ValuesDissonance: Western listeners are often baffled at how the 'friends' of greedy housewives previously put up with their constant leeching and expectation to have their meals, holidays, etc. paid for; but in China, where the stories originate, footing the bill at restaurants is regarded as a generous act and shows how you value your relationship with the other person. So it's not so much that the antagonist is being greedy (at first) but that they consistently ''refuse'' to be generous in return and clearly don't respect or value the people they claim to be friends with.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The viewers for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f2VZtaYD28 this video]] didn't sympathize much with Lisa; while she suffers the stock calamity of having wine poured on her at the wedding of her brother and best friend by Phoebe (the stock woman obsessed with being the bride's best friend), she decides to leave ''without'' telling the happy couple what's going on. Several people commented that she came across as extremely petulant by ditching the wedding even when Annie, the bride, was begging her to stay and offering a replacement dress, creating extra stress for two people she supposedly loves and hurting them by not attending, as well as generating inevitable gossip about why she was missing from the event, ''just'' for a 'gotcha!' moment and to score points off Phoebe. Annie at one point rants at Phoebe about how she ruined her wedding, but a large part of that was ''Lisa's'' fault since ''she'' was the one who refused to attend despite there being an easy and perfect solution to her ruined outfit.

** While happy marriages obviously don't make for entertaining videos, the shear number of times marriages have gone wrong in the stories due to personal, financial or legal issues could be seen as a case for why traditional marriage is a obsolete institution, or at least not for everyone who wants a relationship.
