You should put this as a Review and give ratings so that many will continue to watch this absolutely wonderful drama. I loved it so much that I have re-watched it so many times (mostly the main leads & hilarious parts with Lady Choi and the Royal Chef). I wish there are more dramas like this with great directing, production, acting, and intelligent script and story telling. I am glad that the FL is portrayed as smart, sassy, strong and decisive. Plus hilarious!!

I am very happy that she is doing a new project now. I was scared that she might be delayed in getting new projects because the very popular Mr. Queen drama was protested against & requested to be cancelled by many conservative Korean Netizens. She is a great actress and did very well in Mr. Queen.

The ML, Kim Min Jae, really does look like Yeo Jin Goo (Hotel del Luna) in this Dali & Cocky Prince drama but at least Min-Jae's voice is deep and sexy. LOL... At first, I was not planning to watch this Kdrama because I was not interested based on the synopsis; plus the poster of both the main leads didn't inspire me at all. However, while on a long transit at an airport, I decided to watch this drama because I was bored.
I was pleasantly surprised and entertained in the 1st few episodes. I find the FL to be sweet yet naive, without overdoing it, but she does have a backbone when pushed into a corner; and I actually fell in love with the ML due to his visual and smart-ass money-crazy nature, yet sweet & cute puppy-in-love behaviour.
This is my first time watching Kim Min-Jae and I really love his acting and deep voice; plus he has one of the best dialogues in the drama. Somehow, the ML & FL petty quarrels & cute reconciliation moments keep me glued to the screen. Even though, there are many evil side characters that are trying to do them harm, it was the ML's resolute loyalty & steadfast love towards the FL that kept me watching the show until the end. I give this lovely cute drama 9/10.

Thank you for your really good article. You have written well and in great detail. I enjoyed reading it as the words and sentences flows smoothly, and not boring. Two-thumbs up!!
For me, I didn't like the K-drama version of Bride of the Water God. I didn't understand the story and I find the acting to be boring/not interesting plus the actors were unconvincing in delivering the story. For this fantasy drama to be made into a Xianxia, I think it is an excellent idea, since the C-drama studios will do this story justice. I have watched so many C-drama in the last several years and I am always impressed with the high quality in their production, sets, costumes, cinematography, etc., Let's not forget the stunning visuals too. C-drama has come a long way to be what it is today.

I have yet to watch Happiness. Yes, Signal is a really good drama, and I watched it for the acting of the 2 male leads. If you can overlook the FL and see her as how the Kdrama represents most FL, then you will really appreciate this wonderful criminal action thriller drama. I love it so much, I was hoping for Season 2. Then I googled about it, and found out that Season 2 may be released later this year or early next year. Enjoy watching.
BTW, I am watching Voice korean drama now, and I also liked it (plus I just ignore the FL and focus on the main male lead....LOL)

I saw the trailer and was not impressed with all the drinking and drunk 3 women attics. If this was about women struggles, etc., I don't think watching 3 women who drink on daily basis is really inspiring. Somehow, it shows how pitiful and undignified they become after too much drinking.

I only started watching this drama in Dec. 2021 and I am amazed that it is very good crime thriller Kdrama. Every episode was so good, and everyone acted very well. I was surprised that this drama was aired in 2016 and the quality of production, acting and script were so-so good, IMO. I am glad I managed to watch this wonderful crime-solving thriller of drama.
Based on the ending of this drama, will there be a Season 2?

It is on Dramacool now with 10 episodes sub in english

When is Season 2 coming? This drama is not completed yet

I finally finished this drama today after watching the last 10 episodes at 2x Speed. Oh boy! Watching the number of bi**ches villains trying to bring down the FL is truly excruciating. And the ending episode revealing why the male villain hated the ML is super lame. Sigh... the winning element of this crazy drama was the cute boy. I am giving this drama 7.5 out of 10. :))

This is a beautiful yet tragic story. I am glad I found it so late (I watched this in early 2021). Even though it was produced/aired in 2006, the film was wonderful and the actors all acted very well. Plus, since I had lived in the Netherlands for 6 years, watching this film brought me some wonderful memories of the times I spent there. The best part is watching Jung Woo Sung, the handsome yet deadly assassin in this film. This is the first time I saw him and I will look forward to his other projects.

I salute you - you managed to watch until the end. I dropped this after episode 2 because I cannot get into the drama. I tried to re-watch it after 2 weeks break, but still, I can't stand the FL's character and frilly outfit. I liked the actress in her other drama (Legend of Yun Xi as poison expert), but I think she needs a new stylist for her next drama because she looked the same in all her previous dramas...LOL.

I really like your review because it is so funny.... LOL... thanks for writing :))

I saw a clip on Youtube today, and I was interested to watch this drama because of the cute boy. But after reading your comment, I am glad I didn't have to waste my time. This drama sounds like a big mess. I am tired of watching this type of drama. Why do most Chinese dramas have terrible endings? Sigh....LOL....

OMG! They finally made a sequel. I really loved the first movie

I think it is more like rebirth of our brain cells. I lost some brain cells watching this.. hahaha :))

I am actually planning to start this drama because I liked the actor when he played the ML in another historical C-drama (Qing Luo). I know the FL from her acting in "Intense Love", and I was not impressed but rather annoyed with her then. I wonder if I should try watching her in this new drama.

I just find out that this drama is now showing on DramaCool and the video quality is much better than on KissAsian where I watched this drama 1 year ago (2020). I really liked it then even though it was aired in 2001 and the production quality looked out-dated/low quality compared to the dramas nowadays. But the story line is very good and interesting, every actors/actresses acted very well and I was never bored as every episode was gripping. I liked that everyone looked naturally tanned (not white washed) and the drama was not dubbed. I can see they all spoke the dialog themselves. Anyways, I hope this drama will receive more love, and viewers should consider it as classics.

50 episodes and over 1 hour per episode? Seriously? The poster looks cute, and I really wanted to watch this drama because I have seen interesting video clips of this on TikTok. But after reading the comments below, I am not sure I want to spend over 50 hours of my time on another frustrating drama.... LOL....

I liked Xu Kai Cheng in his modern dramas in Well-Intended Love 1 and 2, but I just cannot like him in this drama. Maybe he looked unmatched being paired with Zhao Lu Si (FL). Maybe his looks (hate that braided hair...hahaha) and make up in this drama was not likeable to me; should get better stylist....LOL... Anyway, I tried watching first few episodes but I just cannot get into the drama. So, I dropped it after episode 3. :((
