Ep. 12. I was going to say 'good riddance to bad rubish' after the despicable couple's 'night of bliss' ending in drinking from a poisoned cup, but the mad physician beat the odds again. Crown Prince is taking all the blame again. I know these people are considered noble, but that's going just too far.

Just finished ep 10 and Sang Rok is still at it, dispensing anything but healing medicine. Now, his daughter can no longer have any delusions about his schemes. The Crown Prince is moving slow and steady in trying to right the ship. Prince Do Sung is a likable, well-meaning, energetic protagonist who keeps trying to do the right thing. Myung Yoon is loved by both, but we know who is on her radar.

How is the Dowager's back story an excuse for all the vile things she and her 'lover' have been doing.? Lee Gon's secret is out. How will the 'servant girl' react?

Again, they are in a tight spot. I need to see some tranquility so romance can blossom.

Just into ep 7 and I'm loving how Myung Yoon's Big Daddy is having a conniption when he finds out she' with the Crown Prince. I wish that evil creep would have a stroke.

That must be an incredible piece of nookie that has the Dowager so bent on protecting him at the cost of the Crown Prince.

People, there is a reason why there is a Spoiler Alert. Use it!

In episode 16 she dresses like a man and looks fabulous. There certainly are fireworks in the air.

Just finished ep 13 and things are a mess- rape, disfigurement and the dope who ended up with the wrong woman in bed now has to marry her. Li has to write out scriptures 10x but she still has the murderous princess on her case. The brilliant Shen YuRong has become a nincompoop and still can't man-up to his murderous past. Duke Su better get his (Mandarin) ducks in a row pretty quick.

I have no idea what they are going to do for 40 episodes with this? The hard-done-by FL is lucky to have that gorgeous maid by her side. She should be given top billing. The humour is pretty broad and Duke Su really does seem 'brainless' and lazy to boot.

I love happy endings. While this was torture for a while there were enough good moments and good humour to make it worthwhile. The storyline was fascinaring helped by the excellent acting by very interesting characters. Incredible scenery and the clothes were outstanding. The only downside for me in modern dramas is the endless product placements we have to suffer through

The age difference made absolute no difference to me given at the time the actress was in her mid-20s and he in his mid-30s. This was a fantastic storyline with good acting.

Just watched the first episodes mainly to see Wu Jin Yan again after Xanyi Palace and to see if Wang Xing Yuo would finally get the girl in a drama after so many I've seen where he always played second fiddle and lost out.

Crappy subs, crappy costumes, crappy tropes.

Thanks for all that information. I'm trying to find a way to watch Dwelling By The West Lake, or get a hold of a DVD.

Just when are we going to get to see Season 2. This was so great and we were promised some romance between FL and Wang Yang. PLEASE.

Just rewatching before tomorrow's launch and am so impressed again with Wang Yang's short, but impressive role. He left us too soon.

It looks like they are looking for a season 2 but not all wine fermentation leads to clarification. The final product doesn't quite have enough sparkle.

I was hoping the last two episodes would have decent subtitles by now, but no such luck. Will have to wait to find meaning in the end of this drama. Too bad.

I'm heading toward the finish line, but suddenly for ep 21 the subtitles have become deficient and it's hard to get all the plotting.
