Started watching and it's good. However, Sandra Ma impersonated a general better in Oh, My General than Zhou Ye in this drama. It's still very good and great for binge watch, which counts many points for me.

This is a great series. Lighthearted, easy watch and very humorous. The acting was good and the dog also could get an award. It should get a much higher rating. Only thing I did not understand was the dog, a male, having a female name: Sophie.

Where are you located?

For some reason, I believe that not only Viki, but any other platform streaming ot will be "bombarded" starting tomorrow. 😂😂😂

How well Viki's website work with VPNs? 😉

LOL! Yeah. The old "plausible deniability". 😂😂😂

Thanks! Which countries in Europe? It seems not all will stream it, based on some other comments.

Yes. I wrote to Viki asking for a clarification. First reply was a vague as smoke. Second one says it's not available. No matter what, I'm not subscribing to disney just for that. I'm sure it will pop-up somewhere else.

Someone said Viki should start tomorrow. Let's see. This series' release has been a mess, to say the least.

Got another reply from Viki saying it's not available here in the US. Curious to see how it will pan tomorrow.

Something is stinking about it. Based on the other comments, other platforms are also having "problems". I never saw anything like this drama is experiencing. That old saying "too many coincidences are no longer coincidences" is coming to mind. Do the leads or someone else linked to that drama has any issues, as the ones we see with other actors? I saw Viki delay releases beyond promised dates before. However, never this mess before.

My app (Android phone) never changed. Still not available in your region.

So, Europe is also a mess?

I cannot even imagine the nightmarish way Viki manages its database of content and subscribers. And seeing how inept it is, now I am imagining what content we may be missing. 😕

I tried using the lead actor and actress' names but it did not show up in the lists.

Nope. If I search on the website, it does not find it. However, if I use that link posted here, it says coming soon. But, if I use the phone app, it says not available in your region. I wrote to Viki asking which is it and the customer service guy who replied does not have a clue. This is crazy.

So, question for the Viki subscribers in the US. What are you seeing in Viki's website? Coming soon, not available in your region, or cannot even find it at all? Any changes from this past weekend? I wrote to Viki but the guy who replied does not seem to have a clue about its availability. This is insane. Never saw anything like this.

Did it "flop" because of how the audience received it or because of the crazy and weird way the distributors are launching it? It appears to be a complete mess based on what I'm reading here in the comments. Here in the US, Viki is advertising it in a very incompetent way and here in the US we are seeing different availabilities, none concrete.

The final two episodes went completely unhinged. It seems the screenwriter had a predetermined number of characters to kill, to reward, and some loose ends to fix. Good grief. The number of characters killing each other broke any record. The palace probably ended up empty after the bloodshed. And the two main leads...really...such grandstanding speech about law and justice, and just watched as two of the "bad guys" killed each other after the FL saved one of them just enough for him to kill the other. I was difficult to stop laughing at that script after that. That cost this series a whole point in my score. So, it's a good watch nonethless, but expect some absurds in the end.

Great series. The photography is spectacular. Most of the acting and overall production are also top notch. The soundtrack very pleasant. However... (I put the negative under the spoiler below)
