Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 437 Online Criticism

When 'Love Dream' was officially announced, it shocked everyone that Violeta would be cross-dressing as a man.

The news stirred up a lot of chatter online. Some people dismissed it as a gimmick to boost ticket sales and doubted the quality of the performance. The debate online before the show even began was louder than the excitement surrounding it.

Few top-tier celebrities in the industry chose to do theater work.

Theater performances didn't generate as much money as other types of work, and the pay was much lower compared to other acting jobs.

Despite that, Violeta opted to take on the challenge.

The first performance went off without a hitch and received numerous positive reviews online.

Unfortunately, no recordings were allowed during the show, so there were no leaked clips to share.

Although some online comments praised 'Love Dream', others were quick to mock it.

"It's laughable. All the people praising the play are her fans. They're blindly supporting her."

"Those who genuinely appreciate theater couldn't get tickets, and those who did were all fans. So what's so special about fans praising their favorite actor?"
