In episode 16 she dresses like a man and looks fabulous. There certainly are fireworks in the air.

Just finished ep 13 and things are a mess- rape, disfigurement and the dope who ended up with the wrong woman in bed now has to marry her. Li has to write out scriptures 10x but she still has the murderous princess on her case. The brilliant Shen YuRong has become a nincompoop and still can't man-up to his murderous past. Duke Su better get his (Mandarin) ducks in a row pretty quick.

I have no idea what they are going to do for 40 episodes with this? The hard-done-by FL is lucky to have that gorgeous maid by her side. She should be given top billing. The humour is pretty broad and Duke Su really does seem 'brainless' and lazy to boot.

I love happy endings. While this was torture for a while there were enough good moments and good humour to make it worthwhile. The storyline was fascinaring helped by the excellent acting by very interesting characters. Incredible scenery and the clothes were outstanding. The only downside for me in modern dramas is the endless product placements we have to suffer through

The age difference made absolute no difference to me given at the time the actress was in her mid-20s and he in his mid-30s. This was a fantastic storyline with good acting.

Just watched the first episodes mainly to see Wu Jin Yan again after Xanyi Palace and to see if Wang Xing Yuo would finally get the girl in a drama after so many I've seen where he always played second fiddle and lost out.

Crappy subs, crappy costumes, crappy tropes.

Thanks for all that information. I'm trying to find a way to watch Dwelling By The West Lake, or get a hold of a DVD.

Just when are we going to get to see Season 2. This was so great and we were promised some romance between FL and Wang Yang. PLEASE.

Just rewatching before tomorrow's launch and am so impressed again with Wang Yang's short, but impressive role. He left us too soon.

It looks like they are looking for a season 2 but not all wine fermentation leads to clarification. The final product doesn't quite have enough sparkle.

I was hoping the last two episodes would have decent subtitles by now, but no such luck. Will have to wait to find meaning in the end of this drama. Too bad.

I'm heading toward the finish line, but suddenly for ep 21 the subtitles have become deficient and it's hard to get all the plotting.

Anyone know what the 5 minute episodes after ep 40 are? 40.1 to 40.7

I'm warming up to the 'new' FL, but the ML's personality is even more annoying than his hairstyle.

Already in ep 1 the evil family members are not shy about showing their hand. The eldest daughter survives and does an about face.

Just started watching the interesting intro and all the schemes around the daughters, but not crazy about the main leads. Not much else out there to watch so I guess I'll keep going and can only hope.

I just finished this drama of tear ducts on steroids. . Had to zip through some of the later episodes. The ML is exceptional. His intense romantic commitment to the relationship became the touchstone of the whole enterprise. His family were delightful, hers was a dumpster fire that gradually became sanitized. The villains were pretty one-dimentionally evil, but the fence-straddlers were more interesting. I'm also thinking of giving up on romantic Kdramas because of just how unrealistic they are given the domestic violence statistic and misogyne that prevails there in the everyday life of women.

I usually like more mature actors to the baby-faced ones, but this one doesn't cut it.
