The description of the proposal - the kneeling and the flowers etc is so cliched in both that I didn't consider that.
I still don't think this counts as plagiarism - it seemed more like a 'nod' to the movie, which is a way to give some credit to the 'inspiration', a nice thing to do. Even the copied elements were presented differently. Overall I felt that the show has a lot of original content, as does this particular visa track.-Neena
Thanks for the balanced view Neena. The way I see it, there was original work before and after but it is plagiarism when dialogues and scenes match. If it was a nod, should they not have credited the movie? They presented it as their own work, own writing and production. That was the issue I had.
