There's 43 eps so it's listed wrong on MDL. and idk why netflix is broken so if you're viewing the show and go…
It's not listed wrong on MDL. They originally aired 40 episodes on Tencent/WeTV, but 3 of those episodes have an almost double duration for usual Chinese drama standards (are around 1.5 hours instead of 45 minutes). When released on Netflix, they split those episodes, so that's why in Netflix it has 43 episodes. Those 43 episodes of Netflix are exactly the same in content with the 40 episodes of WeTV/Tencent!
Maybe my expectations were abit too high with the "Mr & Mrs Smith" correlation but my disappointment is unmatched...…
If you want a drama that resembles "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" much more than this one, try "The Killer Is Also Romantic"!! It's an excellent mini-drama & the chemistry is on fire!!
This is an interesting review. But I just wanted to make a correction; they live together for 4 months not 4 years (as is explicitly revealed in episode 7, and it's also obvious from the first episodes when Yoh says they're experiencing their first rainy season).
Wtf with the date of release Is there anyone can tell me the release date?
Hate to break it to you, but if everything goes well, realistically (since they're still filming, and they need ~6 months for post-production, and an unknown time after that to get a license to air) this will probably get released between q4 of 2024 and q1 of 2025.
Agg I'm kinda angry with iQIYI releasing every other random costume drama but still not Story of Kunning Palace!! But on the other hand, the more they release, the less in the way for SOKP!

Edit: They do have English subs, and 6 episodes are already out on iQIYI International.
