Super funny. We are getting spicy

Super fun, cute, relaxing, intresting, positive.

I love FL, she is beautiful, creative, cute and I like her acting.

I oveeee ML, he's also so handsome. They both have great skills and charisma. The way that he look at her was so sensual.

The first 2 episode are good, can't wait to see what will be next. I have to make me a cocktail. Hahahha I even rewatched some of the scenes as were so beautiful and creativeand I'm waiting for there spicy night. I like the positive vibe and I hope to see it till the end. We need funny and creative new dramas.

I will write more, after I watch the episodes.

Weak writing and directory saved by the cast's chemistry and comedy

For a something that was based on an existing work, I find the writing in this story weak. What made it worse was the subpar directory.

My first impression with this was that it had nice cast but the lines were weak, the conversation was weird, the plot sequence average at most. Then it got pulled down by the terrible directory in some scenes that did not involve comedy.

It would be understandalble if the writing and directory is clunky if it was full comedy which in fact the half of the first episode and the whole second episode is. I laugh so much from there and I think the way it was directed finally made sense. Cause you really did not need a lot of sense in terms of comedy. The chemistry with the leads also was tangible making it easy in the eyes. They made the plot even more engaging.

Then came ep 3 and 4. I was really hoping a lot from it, I've even waited for it for a week. But the comedy that carried the first two episodes started to fizzle out. These two episodes were not comedic at all. It was not because it was not funny anymore but more because it had no funny scenes. It was written intentionally not to focus on the funny scenes. There were fights, problems, challenges, scheming, planning and other stuffs. To be honest I did not remember anything worth memorable in this two episodes.

Without the comedy, the issues it had with weak writing and execution started to grow its head. The story became serious and contemplative. Aside from how it had become a meh plotline now without the comedy, it was also not that motivating to watch anymore.

I am not sure if Im going to watch the next episode, thus I made this. I may, but if I was bored and had nothing to do.

Honestly they should have sticked to comedy instead of being serious. But I guess there could be no more area now for it to be comedic? And those episode 1 and 2 could be just a chance event as the plot dictated it to be comedic.

I am not excited where the story was going now. The pacing felt off somehow and it did not feel like the future story would be funny too. It might deal with betrayal, pain, conspiracy, etc, that was just not that interesting to me, it did not help that the execution might be clunky too.

A great start to fall in love with

"The first night with the Duke" is a great watch, from the storyline to cast, the costumes and the OST. Is a romantic fantasy series that balances humor, drama, and romance in a satisfying way. The story follows a modern-day girl who wakes up inside the world of a romance novel—only she's not the heroine, but a minor side character destined for a tragic end. After getting drunk, she spends the night with the story’s most dangerous character, the cold and powerful 'Duke'.
The series excels in its premise: the "isekai" trope is given a refreshing spin by focusing on a heroine who uses her knowledge of the original plot to rewrite her own destiny. The chemistry between the leads is electric. The characters are beautifully made, with elegant costuming and charm .
It's a delightful blend of fantasy and romance, ideal for fans of historical settings with a modern twist. I can't wait for the rest

A Romcom Gem with Transmigration Done Right

Funny, sweet, and paced just right, this drama already feels like a treat. The FL is super relatable, and the transmigration concept, especially into a webtoon world, hits all the right notes for someone like me who’s an avid webtoon reader. It’s almost like playing an otome game, and I’d love to see an actual otome version of this plot.

The first two episodes had me laughing and feeling giddy throughout; an hour felt like 20 minutes TT. It’s been a while since we got a good old romcom with this level of storytelling. Hoping it stays strong and doesn’t fizzle out like Extraordinary You. Fingers crossed for the next episodes!

?? No Time Travel, Just Novel Chaos (and Hot Dukes)

Alright folks — if you’re still nursing a Mr. Queen hangover (same, honestly), let me introduce you to your next period drama fix… but with a twist! No time travel this time — we’ve upgraded to novel travel. Yep, our girl wakes up inside a romance book. And things only get crazier (and juicier) from there.

This drama has it all:
✅ Hilarious moments (not Mr. Queen level, but still laugh-worthy)
✅ Romance that makes you squeal
✅ Classic palace politics and sword fights
✅ A throne race (because what’s a sageuk without one?)
✅ And yes... the dreaded but delicious second lead syndrome 😭

The best part? Both leads are nobles — so no poor girl–rich guy cliché. And our female lead? Total queen energy. She runs the house, throws sass, and isn’t here for your nonsense.

Only red flag? I might need therapy if she leaves the book world and the poor Duke is left crying in the palace. Or worse — forgets everything! But something tells me a plot twist is coming. 👀

So if you're into fantasy-flavored period dramas with a perfect mix of humor, romance, palace drama, and just the right amount of heartbreak — hit play. You're in for a ride.

P.S. Just wrapped this drama and good news — no tragic ending here! 🎉 Unlike so many period dramas that leave you sobbing into your pillow, this one actually gives our female lead the happily-ever-after she deserves (with her duke, of course). Honestly, it feels so satisfying to finally get a period drama that doesn’t break our hearts at the finish line!

spending the first night with the duke... or maybe prince? ?

finished 8.5/10 🌟
Personally, I really liked this story. I admit that I haven't read the webtoon and that at the time there were criticisms regarding the way it was adapted, but overall, I think it's a very good drama 👏
What I liked most was the chemistry of the protagonists
A great valid point in all was that both Seo Hyun and Taec Yeon felt very natural in their acting, extra point to the kisses that were great 🤭
The overall story was interesting and I loved Seon Chaek as a character... he had a very good growth, from trying by all means to reunite the protagonists of their favorite webtoon to fighting for their own destiny 👏
Yi Beom, although he was considered a "ruthless killer," I must say that I loved his attitude towards the protagonist; he simply fell in love with her ❤️
Now, let's get to what I didn't like:
I feel like the ending was too "perfect" in every way... for me, the villains deserved more... They didn't even have a decent performance to say: ahhh well at least he apologized 🤷
I also felt like the episode cuts took their toll on him.
Dramas like these deserve 16 episodes or more.
Some supporting characters were left adrift, and others passed unnoticed...
I still think it's an excellent drama if you're looking for some comedy and romance ✨

Gülmek için izlenir

Bu yıl benim için cdrama yılıydı. Nedense kdramadan biraz soğumuştum ve sanırım bu yıl izlediğim3. yada 4. kdrama oldu. Bu dizi aslında çıkmadan önce listemdeydi ama başladığı günden bu yana hiç izlemek gelmedi içimden. Dün hadi bir bakayım dedim ve gülmekten karnıma ağrılar gire gire 8.bölüme kadar geldim. Beklentisiz başladığım için mi bilmiyorum, izlerken inanılmaz keyif aldım. Zaten izleme zamanlamam gerçekten süper oldu. Bugün kaldığım yerden devam ederek finali de tamamladım. İlk 8 bölüm gerçekten keyif almıştım ama kalan 4 bölümü neyseki bitiyor diyerek izlemeye devam ettim. Dizinin temposu nedense birden düştü. Kötü değildi ama bu diziyi tekrar izlersem muhtemelen 8.bölümde bırakırım 🤭

Dizi başından itibaren, bana Lost in Austen dizisini hatıyordu. Orada da kız hayranı olduğu Gurur ve Önyargı kitabının içine giriyordu ve kitabın ana karakteri Elizabeth de kızın dünyasına gidiyordu. Dizinin sonunda ikisinde yeni hayatlarında kalmak istiyordu. Bu dizide tahmin ettiğim gibi öyle oldu. Zaten neden modern dünyaya geri dönmek istesin ki. Gerçek hayatta mutsuzdu. Roman dünyasında ise ailesi tarafından seviliyor, saygı duyuluyor, ona aşık bir adam ve arkadaşları var. Onun yerinde olsam ben de roman dünyasında kalmayı tercih ederdim. Klasik gerçek hayata dönüp, erkek başrolle yolda ,orda burda karşılaşıp birbirleriyle bakıştıkları bir final yerine, bu şekilde evli, mutlu, çocuklu bir finalle diziyi bitirmeleri beni gerçekten tatmin etti. Böyle güzel finalleri daha çok görürüz umarım.

Son 4 bölüm hakkında dediklerime aldırmayın ve bir şans verin derim. 😊

MEU DEUS! QUE PERFEIÇÃO

Comecei esse drama quando ele já tinha 4 eps disponíveis pq eu n tinha viki e por causa do elenco que tem o Ok Taecyeon que quem já viu ele em Vicenzo sabe como ele é um excelente ator, o início do drama foi mt bom, teve reviravoltas, teve plot twist na minha opinião, um triângulo amoroso talvez. Agr sobre os vilões, que maravilhosas essas atuações, a do príncipe Seoh (n sei o nome dele) foi compreensivel, entendo ele ter raiva, agr a moça lá eu fiquei mais abalada, na vida agente n tem tudo de mão beijada, e entendo o motivo de ela ficar com inveja, diferente da maioria eu amei o drama do começo ao fim. Recomendo

Elle voulait juste lire un roman… elle a fini dans le lit du prince...

Avant tout, mon avis se base uniquement sur le drama, je n’ai pas lu le webtoon d’origine 😌

En gros, on suit une fille lambda, qui voulait juste kiffer son petit roman pépouze… et BAM 💥 la voilà propulsée dans l’histoire elle-même ! Sauf qu’elle n’est pas l’héroïne… juste une simple figurante sans grande importance. Enfin... sur le papier 😏 Parce que très vite, elle va passer la nuit avec le prince 🔞😳, et là, son destin prend une autre tournure... Pas question de suivre le script ! Avec son franc-parler, son regard acéré de 2025, ses répliques à mourir de rire, et ses soirées cocktails 🍸elle retourne tout le palais 😂🔥

L’ambiance est barrée, drôle, un peu absurde parfois, et c’est ce qui fait son charme 🫰🏻. Une vibe clairement inspirée de “Mr. Queen”, avec une héroïne moderne qui débarque dans un univers historique et dénote totalement. C’est plein de petites touches anachroniques, de magie légère, de répliques piquantes et de situations décalées. La romance arrive vite et elle est sympa 👀💞, et même si le tout reste très prévisible côté intrigue, j'ai passé un bon moment du début à la fin 👍🏻

Côté casting, les deux ML sont excellents. Ils ont le charisme, l’alchimie, l’humour… bref, ils font le job et plus encore 😍. Mais mon vrai coup de cœur, c’est pour la mère de la FL, une vraie queen ultra moderne pour l’époque, qui m’a fait sourire 💕. Et puis... la shamane ? Iconique... Elle débarque trois fois, mais elle met le feu à chaque fois 😂🔥 Le reste du cast est solide, bien dosé, ils ne volent pas la vedette aux principaux mais rendent l’univers vivant.

"First Night with the Duke", c’est un petit bonbon sucré à savourer sans prise de tête 🍬. Pas le drama du siècle, mais parfait pour se détendre, rire, et s’attendrir devant une romance mignonne et des personnages attachants. Et franchement… ça fait du bien 🥰✌🏻

Una storia carina da confort zone ma nulla di più

Drama che alla conclusione possiamo dire da confort zone ...non ha mai avuto picchi di alta tensione per cui non abbiamo ma veramente avuto paura dell'episodio a seguire..

L'ultimo episodio a parte la prima mezz'ora che sistema tutto il pasticcio creato dal secondo principe per cui tiene alta l'attenzione, dopo va a scemare in un lungo finale felice...

Pienamente soddisfatta no... i presupposti per un drama fantastico c'erano tutti ma sul finale si sono proprio persi...hanno forzato l'happy ending per tutti ..o quasi perché il secondo principe sembra fare una brutta fine e allora a questo punto io mi chiedo...spiritello autore ..mandarlo dalla donna che veramente amava e che ricambiava no?? Poteva essere un'aggiunta molto carina ... il re che è stato inutile per tutto il drama si risveglia dal veleno tutto contrito e pieno di rammarico per le sue azioni passate chiedendo scusa più volte...il finto buonismo non mi piace ..i traditori tutti perdonati ..ma almeno avessero spiegato meglio la loro posizione forse avrebbe avuto più senso ...

Sei figli?? Caspiterina e che botta di fortuna 3 maschi e 3 femmine 😂 se volevano farci ridere ci sono riusciti 😅

Nel complesso non è mi è dispiaciuto ma non ho per niente gradito il risvolto finale... la seonchaek originale era priva di vita in epoca joseon ma anche in quella moderna mi sembra sempre addormentata..qualche scena in più con lei con un bel risvolto decisivo anche per lei lo avrei preferito..poi ci hanno fatto intendere che il fratello di seonchaek potesse avere un flirt con la nostra prima cattiva e invece niente .. hanno chiuso davvero tutto troppo frettolosamente!

Peccato non penso che farò rewatch 😅 Do 8 per la simpatia e le risate che mi hanno fatto fare.. ma anche 7.5 poteva andar bene.

A primeira noite com o duque. Por mim, seriam INÚMERAS.

✨ Resenha sincerona da Lari: A Primeira Noite com o Duque ✨

Só pelo nome já fiquei com aquele sorrisinho maroto… 👀 Porque, convenhamos, Coreia, vocês entregaram TUDO no título. Aqui a gente acompanha a mocinha leitora assídua da novel do “duque tirano” e… puf! Ela acorda dentro da história. Só que o destino pregou uma peça: a personagem dela era só coadjuvante, mas o duque só teve olhos pra ela. E por quê? Porque depois de uns bons goles de “coquetel” 🍷 ela foi lá, ficou bebaça e… passou a noite com ele. E o moço, um virgem obcecado, caiu de amores no chá que ela serviu. ☕️😂

A trama é divertidíssima, com um toque triste quando a gente descobre o passado do duque (deu vontade de dar um abraço nele, confesso 🥹). Os vilões? Meh… apareceram só pra dizer que apareceram, nada memorável. Mas quer saber? Nem fez falta. Só o casal principal já segura o dorama todinho. Aliás… quem segura mesmo é o DUQUE. 💪🔥 Porque, olha, quando ele apareceu sem camisa eu levantei da cama e aplaudi. 👏👏 E que corpo, senhoras e senhores… de se ajoelhar e agradecer aos roteiristas por não economizarem nessa cena.

Ok Taecyeon entregou um protagonista obsessivo (no melhor sentido) e ao mesmo tempo um fofo apaixonado — e ainda por cima com um físico em dia. 🫠 E, ahhh… menção honrosa à cena dele trançando o cabelo das criancinhas… 🥰 derreti.

Nota: 9/10 ⭐️ Só não levo pro altar porque a criada dela ficou sozinha e eu jurava que ela ia terminar com o erudito.

Veria de novo? 🤔 Só pelas cenas do Taecyeon sem camisa, confesso.
Indicaria? Claro, pra desopilar, rir e suspirar um pouquinho. 💕

📖 Resumo: leve, engraçado, com um duque maravilhoso que faz valer cada minutinho. 🦊

Una buona premessa che si risolve in una serie mediocre e che manca di identità

Incipit curioso, aspettative medie. Il primo episodio mi ha spiazzata, l’avvio decisamente migliore di quanto mi aspettassi. La protagonista che si ritrova a vivere all’interno del romanzo non è una novità – vedasi “Lost Romance”, anno 2020, tanto per citarne uno – ma la vera chicca è l’evoluzione rapida tra i due, una vera e propria partenza col botto, unita all’elemento – gestito in chiave simpatica e divertente – della prima notte…di lui, con il risveglio al mattino successivo che propone una scena a parti invertite rispetto al solito.
Uno spunto grazioso che andava alimentato e arricchito negli episodi a seguire, ma che va invece a disperdersi a favore di altre questioni non altrettanto accattivanti. Anche l’intesa di coppia che inizialmente prometteva tensione e romanticismo sembra subire un calo costante, la serie perde smalto man mano che procede, il focus passa a concentrarsi su tutta una serie di intrighi interessanti solo fino a un certo punto e introducendo una quantità eccessiva di personaggi secondari, spesso non necessari.
Rispetto ai protagonisti, buona ma non eccellente la prova di lui (già conosciuto e apprezzato nel ruolo di cattivo in “Vincenzo”. Lei invece convince davvero poco: a tratti sembra un po’ una macchietta mentre sul fronte estetico il make up è un vero scempio, col risultato che appare più vecchia di quello che è (anagraficamente l’attrice è anche più giovane rispetto al partner).
La fotografia risulta curata, le musiche apprezzabili, l’ambientazione storica resa con un certo fascino.
Trattandosi di una serie ispirata a un racconto, il risultato lascia però abbastanza a desiderare. Alla buona partenza segue un declino che poteva essere evitato: se da una parte c’è l’aiuto di una linea guida già che la vicenda non viene inventata da zero, dall’altra serve però un investimento imprescindibile per far si che la trasposizione mantenga alto l’interesse. Senza questa particolare attenzione, il prodotto finale non può che essere discutibile, come questo è il caso.
Il finale, inoltre, particolarmente deludente. Doveva essere nell’insieme un drama con uno spunto nuovo, si è rivelato un insieme di cose già viste e senza una vera e propria identità.
Mi fermo a una sufficienza stiracchiata, il contraccolpo della delusione dopo la premessa iniziale è stato peggio dell’affrontare un drama mediocre fin dall’inizio.
