* 真香 (zhēnxiāng), literally "Smells nice..."/"So fragrant..." in the original, but it's a Chinese meme (as seen in post #3089566) referring to a rich city kid in the X-Change Show (变形计) being forced to live in the countryside for a week and refusing to eat plain rice and village food... only to become really hungry and coming to eat it on his own volition in the end while saying the above memetic phrase.
Yeah, it's a complex sentiment that requires an assload of words to describe. Basically "you didn't want to do something at first, but then you eventually went and did it by your own will and found it a pleasant experience."
And now some people will use it unironically and jump straight to the final sentiment (i.e. "how pleasant"), going full circle.
