I just finished this movie, and thought I need to write a review, as I feel the reviews here don't make this movie justice. This is not a bad movie. The title obsessed, illustrate well the main theme. It is about a forbidden love between two married people, a desire and obsession that consumes everything. It was sad and melancholic - the choice of classical music also enhanced this feeling. It is definitely a movie for mature audience, as it has very graphic sexual content, shows adultery, and touches upon complicated subjects like post conflict trauma. I also really liked the images of the movie, as they were very beautifully filmed.
It is true that the two main leads had their flaws - the commander had lost his purpose in life after traumatic experiences in Vietnam, and the main girl did a marriage of reason also after traumatic experiences from her past. Both are adults who didn't experience true love, and they are overwhelmed by their own feelings.
Overall I liked this movie, and I found that the actors played well.

I just finished rewatching this drama again... it took my 24hours when I almost didn't sleep nor eat. I watched hundreds of dramas but this one is my all time favorite. The story is very deep and interesting, there is no 'parasite characters' that just push you to skip forward the movie. Every single scene is worth it. Although the main character Xia Mo, is not your typical sweet, lovely and innocent girl - she is deep, troubled and wise.
The music of the drama - especially the song 'Diamond' haunts me since I first watched it two years ago... the lyrics are just perfect.
Many people don't like the ending, as it is not the usual thing you get in dramas. But for me it was a very happy and deep ending, which made watch this over and over again.
If you love intense love triangles, and you hate loosing time with stupid side stories this drama is for your! It is short (I would love it to be longer!!!) but intense, and immensily beautiful.

Cunning single lady is a light romance that makes you smile while watching - no tears here, from the very beginning the happy ending is predictable. Even the so called "bad characters" are not bad at all, and you kind of feel compassionate about them. The second male lead is just the cutest thing on earth, and the music is heartwarming!

Watch this as a buffer drama after something dark, long and emotionally exhausting ;)

If you enjoy triangular love stories and specially the ones where the main leads get completely crazy about each others then you should definitely watch this drama !

When I watch new dramas I try to give it a fair chance - I watch around 5 episodes, and i was right to do it for this drama, as I didn't really like the first episodes... The music at the beginning was just horrible (no real main theme, some old stuff from 2003 radio etc.) but then it improved a lot! The story is quite typical, nothing exciting on this side, but it s this kind of good old script that we always enjoy.

I would say the most negative aspect of the drama was the main leads .... style. I don't know who was in charged of the clothes but they were quite awful (and it s not because it`s a relatively old show...I saw other dramas from 2003/2004 and they were better dressed...) Second thing was the music as I said before, even if they found later on a ''main theme'' that gets into your heart quite fast... and also the main leads cry, cry, cry....

But well, overall it's a good drama with good acting, attaching main leads (I was so sorry for the poor girl, it makes you cry with her). There are many touching scenes (almost no funny - make you smile scenes...) And well, the ending is unexpected as well.

Re-watch value is poor - but if you didn't yet see it, I would give it a try !
