Watching both previews, I believe this isn't going to be like the anime at all. I think they are borrowing the unique personalities of all the male characters from the anime (which was a reverse harem trope) and the idea of smart FL having to train a dumb king (ML). But in the original anime, there was barely a love triangle, as FL only ever loved ML, even when 2ML (villain) was flirting with her, and when her bodyguard/brother figure liked her (not even happening in this show).

Well, I'm just here for the ride so I'll enjoy it anyway, but I can't figure out who DLW is supposed to be. I'm pretty sure RW is Ran Shuuei. The only other female character FL's age in the anime was Ran Jyuuren, half-sister of Ran Shuuei, and a brief love rival for the king. So DLW is almost an original character here.

I just hope they don't completely dumb down FL's character, as the best part of the anime was how humble, driven, and compassionate she was towards the people of her country (she was so busy serving the kingdom she barely had time for romance with ML! It would be great if this show could have a good balance of both). And it really looks like they are pushing the comedy hard, I just hope not to a ridiculous degree.

NO WAY FINALLY!!! I've been waiting for this drama for over 1.5 years. I was originally a fan of the anime. Now I've become a fan of Dai Lu Wa and cdramas, and I'm super excited!

Me too

I'm here for dailuwa!

Last we heard that was cleared and the issue now is just iQiyi not airing it yet for whatever reason

I hope you're right

I came from the anime and I loooove Kou Shuurei (FL) as a character so much. I hope they do her justice here. I'm sure the story will not be similar, and I shouldn't have my hopes too high, but honestly, a badass, driven, smart FL is all I need. The anime had few supporting female characters though (as can be expected with reverse harem I guess), so I'm hoping they do a better job here making Ran Jyuusan (2nd FL) an interesting character. Hopefully she's not just there for the love triangle, that would be a waste of Dai Luwa!

From the time this drama was announced and I was waiting for it as a fan of the source material, I have become a Wawa fan and now I want to watch it even more lol.

I'll have to put it on my list! I like how you say it, "two grounded adults falling in love." We need more dramas like that (I know the miscommunication trope is popular, which is why we don't, lol).

It's hard to tell. He seems to have conflicting feelings for the woman who saves him over and over again, which distracts him from xiao he. so maybe it is her? I'm rooting for her anyway, the way they portrayed her was so cute

If you ever find something that scratches the itch, let me know. I'm also having withdrawals. I think the best part was the lack of the misunderstanding trope, in fact, they understood each other so well. My OTP

dailuwa my beloved

This is my viewpoint as well

I've recently become a fan due to her excellent, mesmerizing performance in Moonlight Mystique. I didn't think I'd ever become a huge fan of any actress in particular, but Dai Luwa has stolen my heart! She is gorgeous and expressive.

I know it will likely be super different from source material Saiunkoku Monogatari but I'm excited!

I really enjoyed this. Kim Ji Hoon really blew it out of the water with his acting

she's so cute in this drama you need to watch it

All the characters are so unique, and the plot felt fresh, being comedic while also managing to make the villain interesting and thought-provoking. I've got a new favorite actress in Cho Yi Hyun because she was simply adorable as the FL and managed to show a lot of complex emotions through her acting. I enjoyed the girlfail ML and thought Rowoon had really funny comedic timing that made me impressed with his acting. Not sure why the rating is so low? I can only guess it's because the ML is not stereotypical sexy/strong/etc. Also I thought the three sisters were hilarious and very good actresses.

it better not be cancelled or i will cry. and it better do the story justice
