I stumbled into this series couple of days ago when I was browsing list of active series.

After watching 2 episodes, I was unexpectedly hooked. I was never a fan of both ML and FL but I must say that they have a nice chemistry here.

The comedy is one of the best thing for me. The Sheng brothers and their Dad are especially funny!!! The FL's character is meant to be serious yet she can be so comical around the ML, which is so nice to watch.

With other dramas I often fast forwarded the side characters' stories. But all the side characters here are well played and well connected with the main story, that I wouldn't want to miss any.

This drama has nice twists and turns which always keep the drama interesting and make you want to watch more.

Edit.
I have just watched the ending. What an ending it was!

In the last few weeks while Court Lady was airing, I had very bad sleep at nights. Because I will wake up approximately after midnight (that's when the new episodes will get released - I'm in Australia) just because I can't wait till the next day to know what's going to happen next.

Yea some of the storyline are unrealistic, but what do you expect, this is a narrative story!! Even Big Brothers on TV is not real (they follow scrips!). But they were acted so well that made me really care about the characters.

I do agree that in the second half of the story, the side characters had much more screen time than the main leads. But nonetheless, I enjoyed watching them all! One of the thing I'm disappointed at is how Prince Zhou all of the sudden turned from the second male lead into thin air. Yep, he practically disappeared and only turned up again in the last 2 episodes (ok, he only showed up for few seconds in the last episode!).

Now that the show has ended, I will miss the characters a lot - but at least I will start to have decent sleep at nights again 😂
