Masterpiece! I wish they added one more episode instead of rushing the happy ending.

Full of Zhao lusi cuteness and amazing romance

I really held back from watching this as I figured it would be the same story arc as most romance drama follow. I will say this when I first saw that FL stepmom, in an instant I knew she was sinister. I had a flashback of story of minglan where her dad's concubine kills her mother. The way the story started it was a DELIGHT i truly felt engaged and could not stop SMILING, having each episode filled with romance with so many couples the ML' secretary and his best friend, FL's best friend and their work boss/partner were all great. The only thing I disliked was the lack of KARMA, the stepmom should have suffered more and why did the writer give the FL dad's memory loss (dementia) he should not be blessed with having no memories of how he treated his own daughter like garbage and killing his own wife indirectly ( first wife). I wanted to see him beg for forgiveness and repent for the rest of his life and also transfer the entire company to her as compensation.

Sorry for the late response. Give it a try, you might end up completing it without realizing. I have seen it more than twice.

Below I posted my frustration with the ending. However, ALL in all the drama was a fun watch. Lusi just like her character in love like the galaxy was amazing. Not a huge fan of her but I admire her acting skills.

I am so frustrated with that one ending comment, why does the second princess s still get to be the city owner. Hasn't she shown enough violence and cruelty to be executed? If it weren't for the ML, the FL would have been dead earlier by the arrow she shot towards her. So many times she tried to kill her, but no karma for her. What kind of messed up story is this? We are told that what goes around comes around and that good deed is not lost but returned a thousand times.

I believe in 2 or 3 episode from the last, they have a conversation on how the ML is a Tiger and she is the Thorn (per the subtitle) so I guess by thorn they meant a rose.

The Hua Family really Blossoms in Adversity!

The drama really is all about the getting up and moving forward when faced with adversity. The Fl really displayed unorthodox behavior in the way she steered the family while facing so many hurdles. I smiled for a long time in each episodes and couldn't stop watching as it kept getting better. Sure there is a villain(s) as a story must but in this drama it's not your typical villain who wants to destroy/murder FL/ML, they are just there to build the story it didn't provoke me at all. The reason I watched was for the business theme, she truly is a great businesswoman, from rags to riches and repeat to ultimate riches. I hate writing reviews, if you look at my watched list out of the 250+ dramas I have written only few. I write this because I was moved by it, Lastly I will say this I was disappointed with death of one of the Hua sisters but I can understand the circumstance that caused it. Overall it great, even the BGM and OST are superb!

I can't describe how good this even if I were to write a thousand words. Just give it a shot. Chemistry is 10, ending is 10, OST is 10, story is 9 and second couple is also 10.

The ML fights to take back the throne and save his father from the traitor who usurped the throne. Along the journey he meets the FL and their chemistry is just damn good. The ML is surrounded by an amazing group of friends most who sacrifice themselves for him showing utmost loyalty and friendship.

I liked that this one did not have backstabbing and betrayal by family members. I felt there might be the typical cousin lover fight but there wasn't and the Cheng Family were very good to each other and entertaining to watch. I was damn impressed with Old lady Cheng, she cracked me up each time :) and there was a lot of cunning schemes and revenge done by the FL which gave me story of minglan vibe and the ML quest to uncover the truth of his _____ death was a long journey of 15 yrs it reminded me of yanxi palace in which FL goes from simple servant in the palace to imperial consort with tons of scheming to finally avenge her sisters rape and murder. Overall it's a good watch the only thing I felt it missed was not seeing them having a family of their own. A scene of them living Shang's dream of simple village kinda life or maybe a scene of Qiqi and Song's kids playing around with their Uncle Zisheng (ML). Ah it would have been a perfect ending. We also missed out on their wedding and the rest of the siblings. Those scenes would have made this the best of the best drama IMO.

He was stationed in MO and rushed back upon hearing his daughter would be married off to MO state as per alliance agreement, breaking the law. We see him and ML working together to nullify the marriage agreement by benefitting the MO state in a different way.

It's good should watch it. Read spoiler below

I am quite impressed with the story as there were a couple of things I didn't expect which happened and vice versa.

The story is not about revenge and does not have story of minglan kinda angst. We have the ML and FL bonding after marriage slowly, the ML was respectful and didn't consumate the marriage at any point in time (after 2+yr). He had to marry the princess of JIN state by imperial pressure. I was really happy to see a character like the princess who was selfless she genuinely cared about the FL and helped her become mature and educated her in running household and business.

The supporting characters like hao jie (FL bf) was really good. I was expecting the betrayal arc to be present but surprisingly it was better instead of backstabbing and jealousy they discussed the issues with each other and provided the necessary support.

As every drama requires a villain in this one it was the Crown prince, who was truly despicable and his tail the fourth prince who did some bad shit but mended and came around in the end. So we can say the bad were punished unlike in other dramas they are just forgiven as if nothing happened.

What more can I say? I feel I have said enough to convince you all to give this one a shot.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - this word embodies all the reasons to watch this.

I really enjoyed every minute of it. No regrets! cute and fluffy without any angst. The ML was really thoughtful as he made the FL grow in to an independent and successful women by showering her with wisdom and love.

wow just great, could not stop watching. How great it feels watching a show without stupidity, bad cliché's and crazy love triangle. this was a breath of cool breeze right before winter, it was clean, sweet, cute and beautiful. Can not stress further. MUST WATCH!!

Overall a nice watch and very little angst.

I've watched the K-drama twice, so I remember the details clearly. Here's my analysis. I enjoyed this adaptation, despite some minor changes. Firstly, the youngest son in the K-version was born to the same parents as the older siblings. In the C-version, the father remarries (his new wife leaves him and their baby early on), resulting in the youngest son having different mothers than his siblings. His friend/boss in the C-version is revealed to be his younger half-brother. The cousin in the K-version is married with a child studying in the Philippines (I think), but in the C-version, she's divorced because her husband had debts and ran away - we never see him. In the K-version, the sister gives birth to a child (after the father's death) while the doctor sibling is expecting. In the C-version, the doctor already has a child, and his father names him and is present for a short time after meeting his grandson - there's no hint about anyone else being pregnant.

I am writing this right after completing, so I might have missed on other details, so please feel free to reply below.
