@Kim MC yes to watching Maiden Holmes:-) I am watching this drama as a filler while waiting for eng sub of Maiden Holmes to be released. The wait has been torture.

3 episodes in and I’m finding it’s ok. Light, romantic comedy but already parts I felt like is dragging. FL is funny but sometimes exaggerated. I have no issues with no one able to tell FL is a female or when ML still can’t figure out she is Happy Fairy (minus fake moustache) after repainting his map from memory (it’s the norm in c dramas) but I need at least there to be chemistry between the leads which I can’t see yet and qualities in the characters that draw me in. Don’t find ML character appealing. I love strong, moody intense ML but this ML is violent, loves to have people flog! Didn’t find it funny when ML kicked FL on the butt after he had her flogged on the butt and knowing she was “pregnant” (even if it wasn’t true but he didn’t know that). I know the drama is a comedy and not to be taken seriously and maybe I’m old fashioned but it turned me off the ML. Where is the gentleman behind the ruthless/cold exterior? FL also seems quite selfish. Didn’t hesitate to threaten the doctor (her childhood friend) with exposure if he didn’t lie for her which would ruin his reputation. Will keep watching in the hope there is character development and stronger chemistry as drama progress. Maybe I am expecting too much after watching Sleepless Princess and Maiden Holmes. Both dramas had amazing chemistry between leads and characters that were likeable and endearing.

Also for free on Viki. Eng sub up to episode 18 and are available sooner than Tencent

Yes he knows FL has the stone and thinks it and the book can revive the dead. He wants to revive the king’s deceased concubine (one who is laying on the stone table) who he was In love with before king found out and killed her. Obviously king didn’t know it was with him or else he would be dead too:-)

It’s the disciple of the FL father who is now the emperor’s astrologer.

I’ve rewatched Under the Power so many times that I’ve lost count:-) this drama is heading in the same direction as I am already rewatching episodes while waiting for eng subs.

Yes FL reaction was inconsistent with her rational logical character. However it didn’t last long and the makeup scene in next episode made it worth it:-)

Yes WeTV subscription not worth it when eng subs are free on viki and available earlier than WeTv. Makes no sense. I would pay $$$ to get all episodes in eng sub but it’s not an option. Watched raw and it’s still so good

Someone below post a link to the Duboku website. No eng subs though.

Lol yes their kisses are so steamy! I absolutely love this couple, how they communicate , solve problems together, comfort each other and just staying close to each other, holding hands. Even without subs you can feel the love and respect between them.

Yes best happy ending i’ve watched in awhile. I am still smiling like a fool:-) everything is tied up nicely from what I google translate in terms of the couples and 5 of them off on another adventure. Now eagerly waiting for Eng subs.

Omg thank you so much for the link! Started watching episode19 and 20 and scenes between main couple made the mini separation so worth it. ML so playful with FL, hugs her so tightly and holding her hands not to mention more kisses. It’s midnight but going in to binge rest of episodes raw....please have a happy ending

I seriously can’t wait for new episodes! I think Vip for Chinese viewers get access to all episodes today 10th September so hopefully sites like Dubo will have them also. Will still watch it RAw cause too impatient to wait for English Subs. Chemistry between main couple is off the charts. I’m so invested in their relationship that it better be a happy ending.

QQZI is next on my watch list. Saw first episode and was interesting but shame FL voice is annoying ... for me anyway.

Not to worry. Even the scene In the trailer of FL stabbing ML will not be what you expect .....it’s sad and bitter sweet but then......

Angst level in Su Yu is very low because there are still funny scenes that relieve the angst. Usual trope ML lost his memory but his reaction to FL and FL efforts to try restore his memory makes you laugh rather than cry.

Lol I totally agree! Like you I am a hopeless romantic and avoid the angsty emotionally draining drawn out dramas. Besides great chemistry between main leads I need an intelligent FL. Want to pull my hair out in frustration when a drama is ruined because of a FL that is as dumb as a door nob or has that annoying high pitch whining voice or both (Like Legend of Jinyan) ! Which is why I am loving Maiden Holmes .... capable FL, cute ML not to mention the sizzling kissing scenes:-) Loved watching TSP as well until Mango TV butchered the ending to milk more money from its viewers.

I really recommend Maiden Holmes:-) it’s light but has a bit of everything. Romance, comedy, mystery (although not that difficult to solve), friendship and the pace is great. You have the angst/conflicts/misunderstandings but they get resolved really quickly. If you want a break from emotionally draining dramas then try Su Yu. It’s hilarious and you can’t take it seriously just enjoy the antics of the ML trying to win his lady. His character is so narcissistic and over the top but in a way that I can’t help but like him and it’s a happy ending. Agree with Becky17 comment regarding Romance of Tiger and Rose. That was an enjoyable drama as well.

Your comment is hilarious yet so relatable. Although my opinion of ML changed a lot earlier than episode 6.

Thank goodness for Maiden Holmes drama that is so good that it’s keeping me entertained and distracting me from the Sleepless Princess’ disappointing and confusing ending last week and the wait for the epilogue . Maiden Holmes main leads also have great chemistry. I’m finding these low production with less well known actors to be much more entertaining than the high end productions. Was excited for “The Winner is Love” as well as “Love a Lifetime” but both were so disappointing for me even though both had happy endings. Skipped so many scenes and didn’t even finish watching all episodes.
