Lady Sour was originally intended to be the third installment of "Wars of In-laws", but due to Myolie Wu and Bosco Wong's real-life split in 2012 plans to reunite the two main leads were scraped. Also Liza Wang had to turn down the drama due to schedule conflicts.

The drama's plot was revealed at TVB's "2014 Sales Presentation". Additional cast was also revealed.

Him Law was confirmed as the male lead of the drama in July 2013. Lady Sour is Law's first ancient costume drama.

During the costume fitting ceremony Ron Ng was confirmed as the actual male lead of the drama. Him Law was pushed back as the second male lead.

The costume fitting ceremony was held on November 11, 2013 at 12:30 pm Tseung Kwan O TVB City Studio One Common Room.

Filming took place from November 2013 till January 2014.

Lady Sour is also co-star Eliza Sam's first ancient costume drama. Sam who was born and raised in Vancouver Canada had difficulty pronouncing her lines and understanding the script due to the text written in ancient Chinese grammar.
