While waiting for Once You Are Married to finish airing, I just thought Hold On, My Lady (夫人，大可不必) will be a good filler drama to pass my time. This is a very short production which is a change from the usual mainland dramas that could stretch up to 50 episodes and more. A long drama can end up being draggy.
