Was it actually released? I'm watching S1 and 2 now and it's hilarious. Amd the cooking scenes are mouthwatering.
Will definitely watch S3 if they release it.

Not my cup of tea. It became repetitive and just several short stories stitched into a longer one. I ended up skipping several episodes because of that. Acting, direction and overall production were also just so-so.

Interesting series. The actors did a great job in the psycho and other mentally disturbed roles. The police girl was probably parachuted in her job, since she did not seem to have any kind of training or behavior typical of a cop.
Nevertheless, it was worth watching even though I could see that ending coming.

Good series. Overall production is very good. Acting and direction caught me watching all episodes without skipping or fast forwarding.

Did it start? It's in the "Top Airing Shows" list but I don't see it anywhere.

Awesome series despite the ending was a bit over the top.

I found it on Mango TV but it's only 22 episodes. Since the episodes' length match what's posted on MDL, is the YouTube version cut short?

This series is a mix of Ancient Detective, Imperial Coroner, Under The Power and a couple others. Not bad, but gets a bit repetitive after a few episodes. Acting and direction is also so so.
I'll probably take a break and get back to it later.

Great series about the evolution of entrepeneurship in China and the struggles of business owners to deal with the political and legal changes that sometimes pulled the rug from beneath them. Of course, they weren't fully innocent and also had their bad biddings. The writers researched the topic well. They also added some sprinkles of political propaganda, probably to pass the censorship.
Production, acting and direction are great and made a nice series to watch. I'll probably watch it again.

Clear propaganda. However, it's very well produced and entertaining and give some glimpses of the Chinese life like in a reality show. The first story about producing the ballet is very nice.

Thanks!

Good news. The first two seasons were very good. I hope they keep the high standards in acting, direction and production for the third one.

Found it on YouTube but only has 41 episodes. Subscene also only has 41 subcaptions and lists the 41st as the last one.
Any difference from the 48 listed by MDL?

It's not available on Viki US, so cannot watch there neither confirm the number of episodes.

Just finished this series. Watched the three 1-hour-long option on MGTV.
It's an awesome and very funny Mr & Mrs. Smith's adaptation in ancient China.
Acting, direction and overall production were great. It's a series that deserves more seasons. I'll very likely watch it again a few more times.

Light drama. Probably 30-episodes long if it had not used and abused the flashbacks, which I ended up fast forwarding because they became an annoyance. Acting, direction and overall production were just OK.

Thanks! There are only 12 short episodes but MDL mentions 18. Which is the correct number?

I found it on MGTV but it's very confusing. There are three episodes with more than one hour and 12 with approx. 15 minutes. Is the series all of them?

Cool story, which seems like a Face Off movie's spin off. Fast paced, as it only had eight episodes to tell the story. Acting and direction so so. OST wasn't bad and some of the music good. An enjoyable drama if we put everything together.

So, was it censorship that obliterated this series? They would better make it shorter, since many things did not male sense and only made the series painfully long. The OST was terrible. I have to listen to something that bad.

This series could have been 10 episodes shorter. Acting, direction and story left to be desired. OST was terrible. The melodies and singers were barely tolerable and sometimes I fast forwarded just to not have to listen to those lamentations. To make things worse, the end did not make any sense.
