A bundle of Joy

I liked that this one did not have backstabbing and betrayal by family members. I felt there might be the typical cousin lover fight but there wasn't and the Cheng Family were very good to each other and entertaining to watch. I was damn impressed with Old lady Cheng, she cracked me up each time :) and there was a lot of cunning schemes and revenge done by the FL which gave me story of minglan vibe and the ML quest to uncover the truth of his _____ death was a long journey of 15 yrs it reminded me of yanxi palace in which FL goes from simple servant in the palace to imperial consort with tons of scheming to finally avenge her sisters rape and murder. Overall it's a good watch the only thing I felt it missed was not seeing them having a family of their own. A scene of them living Shang's dream of simple village kinda life or maybe a scene of Qiqi and Song's kids playing around with their Uncle Zisheng (ML). Ah it would have been a perfect ending. We also missed out on their wedding and the rest of the siblings. Those scenes would have made this the best of the best drama IMO.

A sweet journey of FL from Concubine to Wife

I am quite impressed with the story as there were a couple of things I didn't expect which happened and vice versa.

The story is not about revenge and does not have story of minglan kinda angst. We have the ML and FL bonding after marriage slowly, the ML was respectful and didn't consumate the marriage at any point in time (after 2+yr). He had to marry the princess of JIN state by imperial pressure. I was really happy to see a character like the princess who was selfless she genuinely cared about the FL and helped her become mature and educated her in running household and business.

The supporting characters like hao jie (FL bf) was really good. I was expecting the betrayal arc to be present but surprisingly it was better instead of backstabbing and jealousy they discussed the issues with each other and provided the necessary support.

As every drama requires a villain in this one it was the Crown prince, who was truly despicable and his tail the fourth prince who did some bad shit but mended and came around in the end. So we can say the bad were punished unlike in other dramas they are just forgiven as if nothing happened.

What more can I say? I feel I have said enough to convince you all to give this one a shot.

Really great!

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this drama. No regrets! It was cute and fluffy, with no angst. The male lead was really thoughtful, helping the female lead grow into an independent and successful woman by showering her with wisdom and love. I discovered this while watching "The Story of Minglan," which features the same female lead. Her acting was so good, but I got stuck in a rut, so I looked up her previous works and found this one. I have to say, I felt 33 episodes were not enough. I would have loved to see them have a family of their own and go on a picnic with their little one and the male lead's sister's son as well, the whole family together having fun in the end. What an ending that would have been!

Main dialogue " This is just wrong" at least that's what the subs translated it as.

It was funny which is great. It had elements of "Ugly Alert, My father is strange, and What happens to my family? " so if you liked any of these u will like this as well as it comes with lots of laughter and the only thing that saddened me was not having one more episode for the ending.

The father of the sister had it rough! I really feel bad for him, not only (in the beginning) are his daughters ungrateful but also vicious. Slowly they start to learn the truth but still continue doing stupid things giving the father more embarrassment. I don't think any man in the real world could have his character and personality. Just watch it you will like it.

Great Business and motivation drama, if you liked the below mentioned drama you will like it

This Drama reminded me of many other recent dramas like" A place in the Sun, Father, I’ll Take Care of You, Money Flower, Itaewon Class, and Golden Empire". I can tell after watching this that they were all inspired by this it is such a great story. It was a long and bumpy revenge journey which felt exciting to watch. The relationship between the siblings was great. I only resent the writer for Minwoo and Miju's relationship which was an abomination. No sibling would ever continue loving a man like Minwoo. Let me remind you that from his childhood he made bad decisions like cheating, and attempted murder, he transferred them to a work camp where he was repeatedly tortured, he committed Arson by destroying the factory, Sabotage, Espionage, Multiple attempts at Destroying Gangmo, who is Miju brother, in the end because of him cutting corner in construction a building collapses, all he gets is a 2 year prison sentence and a happy life with Miju!!!!!!!!!! Poor Older brother Sungmo even got shot twice in the head, survived to destroy Minwoo's father, and died during surgery. We still didn't get to vent all the pent-up emotion on the villains. What happened to the remaining cabal of villains who repeatedly kidnapped and tortured innocent people for profit, What happened to that spoilt half-brother of FL, who murdered the president of a construction company, framed Gangmo for it, and together with Minwoo tried to kill him thrice in Jail.

Why I regret Watching this!

The series was good. I saw karma for each bad character except the mother-in-law. FL's stepmother or her father's main wife tortured Fl and her birth mother multiple times. The father was also STUPID and IGNORANT. She forced FL to marry and take the place of her daughter in her husband's family. Karma was her daughter was murdered and her unborn baby killed by a schemer just like how the main wife/stepmother schemed her whole life.
Moreover, Concubine Qin of the ML harem was forced to be ML concubine by ML's Mother, and the ML mother killed her child because she didn't want the child to be the firstborn of her family, what a bullshit reason to kill her own grandchild. The ML who was also stupid never raised his voice to his mother, fighting wars all the time but couldn't care less about the women in his home. ML's first wife who at the time was pregnant together with her mother forced a maid to sleep with the ML by threatening her with her younger sister. She killed herself due to depression. Going back to concubine Qin, Ml found a bastard child of his brother, FL advocated for Qin to raise that child but fucked up ML gave it to his sister. I wish I had known all this before starting How I regret watching this!

My Dream came True!!

I have always had a fantasy of going back in time to ancient china and this drama is basically it. The MC travels back in time and being a scientist he is pushed into murder investigation and becomes a target of the hidden enemy who wants to overthrow the emperor. It is full of fun and romance and I implore you to try the first season and if you like it you are in for a fun ride all through season 3. I am hoping for season 4 but seeing how old this is I don't see it happening. He ends up with 4 wives and they all live good without fighting like you see in the imperial harem.
