This is in reference to the feedback of the viewers, despite the "Strong Parental Guidance" for that particular scene.<br /><div id="unruly-unit"></div><br />The most controversial episode which hit a national TV rating of 15.9% garnered more than a million tweets on Twitter and topping the trending topics worldwide.<br /><br />As regards to the October 26 episode, the Board said they received feedback about the casual use of words "sex lang yan" without reference to, or in disregard of, the institution of marriage.<!--adsensemiddle--><br /><br />The bath-scenes on October 27 and 28 were also said to be inappropriate for television.<br /><br />"With the above, considering that 'PG' and 'SPG' ratings still admit the reality of having young audiences, the Board shall expect you to present your side at the said conference which shall be before a Committee particulady designated for the matter," MTRCB said.<br /><br />"Till I Met You", the second teleserye of JaDine loveteam, premiered on August 29.
