The Romance of Tiger and Rose (2020)

A lighthearted but well acted rom-com

I think it’s lighthearted and fun most of the time but still has enough actual drama to not bore you and keep you interested. Not an amazing drama plotwise, but was also not completely predictable or repetitive. I didn’t particularly enjoy the characters, since I didn’t find them to be memorable or different than usual, but they were still developed nicely and were more endearing and likable than boring or irritating. The ending was a bit underwhelming but it’s fine. I think what I enjoyed most was the acting, the actorS did a really good job and had a lot of chemistry! A nice drama to watch when you don’t want to watch anything too heavy :)

I dont care what other says this is one of the best chinese drama I’ve watched

I don’t think the female lead was annoying,just kinda hater how she neglected the male lead. I understand that she literally got dropped to a uh time and place she doesn't know and she’s lost, the last thing she can afford was romance in my opinion but like given the situations she was in I bet we would’ve been like the same...
Anyways the romance was good asf i mean the way the male lead looks at the female lead just makes my heart flutter and while they were sitting down near a table his eyes followed his hand and i thought that was just romantic and heartwarming i love these kind of details!
And woo the ending wasn’t flawed like most chinese or even korean drama’s i dont feel any regret for this drama i think everything went well and it was entertaining, gotta say i found myself barely skipping some of the scenes and that’s rare. I also love it when a drama makes me be like ‘omigosh thats so embarrassing! WHat are they doing! Ahaha’ and than I’ll turn off thee device I’m watching it from to just freak out than come right back to watch! But i didnt even notice the music i think it would’ve been better if the music was good i might have to listen to the music and come back to edit c; you should give this drama a chance

Fluffy and enjoyable

If you want something light and hilarious this is your show. I watched it in 3 days. Very enjoyable without the usual unnecessary dragging that most dramas insist on. 24 episodes nicely wrapped up everything and kept the pace going. Love triangles or squares, seriously get on my last nerves and it was also the case here.

It was refreshing to have a storyline with strong female characters (mulan ref had me cracking up).

Ive said all I wanted to say but mydrama list keeps saying my word count is not enough so you can stop reading. I am now just wasting characters.

Hilarious and funny romcom, worth watching

This drama was so funny and enjoyable to watch and I really recommend it. It had an amazing and interesting plots, with a few unexpected plot twists. I really like both the female lead and male lead, their chemistry was very good.

I laughted every time she summoned the writers (?) and used fruits as examples, banana, apple and orange lol. I really hated the sister, she was so evil and greedy. The main leads mother, kind of referred to Hua Mulan also which I think is very creative and interesting. I was actually shocked when I she told Qian Qian her last name. The ending was so sad, I dont't mean when they meet each other in the real world, but when she was going to be the queen.

I'm actually very excited to watch season 2 and I really hope that it will have the same main leads, Zhao Lusi and Ryan Ding. It was my first time seeing Ryan Ding in a drama but I think that he is a very good actor and I hope that they get to be leads in an another cdrama.

Best historical drama of 2020

I did wanted to watch this because of the main female lead but now it turn to both of the leads male and female. while watching intense love I fell in love with Ryan. His cute and handsome smile just melted me away. I just had to write a review for this I even did the same thing for intense love. I usually don't write review if a drama was not a good one but this one is a boom one. I love this until the end, even if I did skip some part , I love it it's just the anticipation with all the scary things. I love this drama, I think this one is may be one of the best histrionic drama ( well kinda of because of the of it's taken place in that time ) in 2020. I love ding yuxi ( meaning Ryan i like his Chinese name better than English name ) I hear that he going to be on chuang 2020. I change all of my screen like home and lock screen to him. My home screen was song wei long. I think after watching like the first episode of the beautiful flower runis his face because he looked more ugly or like darker two years ago but now in 2020 he like had a big glow up. ding yuxi is my number one fav actor in 2020. Song wei long lasted for about six months and let's see how long can he stay my favorites. I mean song wei long is going to come with a drama again so let's see.




Now let's talk about the story. I did like the story how everything play out only talking about episode 1-20. I love the female lead and the male lead( the two main leads. ) If a show that has me watching their behind the sense and also like their interview than that mean I love it. Even I did skip a lot but I still I would like review moments of it. I love it so so much. The thing about this drama is so so different from intense love because in that drama ding Yuxi was like emotionless ( well kinda from the beginning ) I was kinda like used to that but in this one like he is a cute and fluffy happy kid. and also he play a young person like 19 and intense love he like a 28 year old man. I have to said I like the this drama more that the intense love it's just the set up like the rose and tiger is more happy and cute but in the intense love it more kinda mature and cute but the rose is better. I prefer ding in this drama more. There is some hate and love about this drama like the relationship the breaking up and that getting back together. I did not like the second female lead because of his role it kinda made me hate her more because of the put your head on my shoulder was the third female lead and she was like the love triangle in that main relationship too so yeah ( kinda confusing ) I love the ost in this drama. I even started learning it that how much I love this drama. I feel like I don't want to finish it because then I feel so empty inside so I really don't want to watch the last two episode I feel so so empty and sad then I have to find another drama.
This is the first drama that made me learn what CP is and also looking at all the behind scenes in this drama.
This new actor ding yuxi got me google him up and also looking at weibo ( I never or usually don't use weibo but this drama and character and leads really got me using weibo. Overall this drama is 10 out of 10 I do like this more than the intense love grown up but this one is cute and so funny ( I laugh a lot of times )

Great drama!

At first, I was hesitant on watching this drama based on the plot, however, it was actually a pretty good drama! I really like the chemistry between the main couple. They had like this love/hate relationship at first, however, it of course led to love. The main guy at first had intended on killing her in order to help cure his heart disease, but over time, he began to care for her which made him hesitate on killing her. His heart eventually healed with help from the main girl. I really love how she tried to protect him as much as possible. Even willing to give up her position as a princess just to be with him is a big sacrifice.

The love triangles definitely frustrated me since it led to a lot of misunderstandings between the main couple. Like, she obviously loves you how could u not see that!! The male lead's change of character did frustrate me as well because of all the misunderstandings. He intended to try and kill the female lead again, but because of his love for her, he couldn't do it which makes it interesting. The female antagonist really frustrated me as well but it was good because her desire to be queen really made the story interesting as she went to very shady extents to get that position.

However, there were a few things of the drama that threw me off too. Towards the end of the drama, the female lead faked her death in order to be live happily ever after with the main guy and let her sister (female antagonist) take the throne. I honestly thought that part was a bit weird and unnecessary but I guess they put that to make the story interesting.

I was worried how the ending would be since I am pretty sure that she will be back in the real world. So I wasn't sure if the main couple will be together in the end. However, they did have a happy ending as they reunited in the real world.

Overall, I really loved the drama despite the parts that threw me off. Would definitely recommend!

Cute, Funny and Super Romantic

Story Review:

The story was pleasantly and unexpectedly funny and very cute. Although it's very trope-heavy, it worked because the cast did such a good job in all their roles! The thing I appreciated most about this drama's story is how it points out and makes fun of all the things wrong with script writers / dramas these days. It was so cleverly done, you would miss it if you're not paying close attention. After entering her script, she comes to realize that the things that make a story good is the natural progression of events that leads to the development of feelings in a relationship, that things have to happen organically and cannot be forced by flawed 'just-because' logic.

Acting/Cast Review:

I think the reason why this drama did so well is not because of the story, but because of the cast and acting. I believe that at some point, the ML actually fell for the FML in real life or he's just that good at acting! You believe and buy into their relationship. The two male servants were among my favorites because they were so funny, they are like living and breathing live commentary, who always points out the elephant in the room. That was refreshingly fun! Each character had their story and struggles and were multidimensional, so even the "evil" or "bad" guys didn't make your blood boil and isn't just evil for the sake of being evil (huge problem in dramaland these days).

Music Review:

I don't think I can review the OST objectively because I can't determine if the music is actually worthy of praise or if I like it so much because I like the drama and the events that those particular songs remind me of. Which again, just points out how good the acting is!

Rewatch Value:

After completing the drama, I have definitely scanned through it a couple of times again because lets be honest, those moments were just so cute, so romantic and not to mention so funny, it's hard not to want to relive it over and over again.

Overall Review:

For a low budget web drama, it was totally worth the watch! For everything it lacked, it made up for it in the cast and in the acting. It isn't something to take seriously, but will definitely make a lasting impression!

What to say here

I rated this an 8 because it takes a lot of plot focus to get me to rewatch anything. However, I love the concept of the female lead getting pulled into her own script via a dream and having to deal with the world she had created. There were many points made in this drama about the power dynamics between males and females.

Let's get into it:

The female lead did a wonderful job, I loved her here better than in Love Better Than Immortality. which shows growth from this actress. She was quirky in the right moments and she did not fall in love instantly, which is a huge plus for me.

The male lead: I have never seen him in anything else before, but he does a good job as well...he could be stiff on some parts but his romantic scenes are adorable. I would like to see him again in a future project.

The cast was complimentary to the leads and no one outshines over the other...I love a well-balanced cast where everyone has their unique talents highlighted.

There was one pair in this that I absolutely adored and wished had more scenes and that was the 1st princess and SuMu...we need more inter-able romances.

ROMANTIC, FUNNY, THRILLING.

My 1st Chinese historical drama and enjoyed it a lot.
Matriarchal society(where women are dominating) it put in a very cute way mainly in the last episodes when heroine goes to hero's kingdom it was so funny.
The acting of all the actors was great. The whole story was cute and funny.
Romance between the couple was greatly shown. Jealousy for each other was acted very well.
I liked the bond between mother and daughter. Though she is queen gave importance to daughters feelings rather than doing it for society or power. Their act before and behind people was cute.
Heroine mischievous act and her conversation with 3 other friends(story writers) was funny.
Coming to the story its states about female dominated society the society was not focused much but inside the palace it was shown clearly.
totally its a to watch drama if you are looking for romantic and comedy genre.

Light-hearted Romance Comedy

I was not expecting much when I started this drama. It turns out much funnier and cuter than expected. The whole plot of 1 city has men are the gender in power, while another city has women the gender in power makes it a fresh and interesting plot too. I particularly like how each character has their own loyal servant by their side that serve them so faithfully and wholeheartedly. This drama will not invoke intense emotions like anger and sadness (a blessing to me, especially with costume/historical dramas), it is a light-hearted drama, so you can watch with ease. Another highlight is that the male lead is a total faithful man that is very affectionate and doting, very doting and loving! I love it!

Sweet and Funny

Awalnya ragu mau nonton drama ini. Setelah ngga sengaja dengerin soundtrack nya bagus jd coba ngliat. Jujur awal episode masi agak ngrasa aneh dengan konsep ceritanya. Tp setelah episode 3 dan selanjutnya, jd ngrasa ceritanya unik.

Akting pemeran utama pria dan wanita juga bagus banget menurutku. Chemistry nya dapet, walaupun mungkin Ryan Ding bukan tipe flower boy yg cool dan mempesona, tp peran ini cocok banget buat dia. Zhao Lu Si jg sangat cocok dengan peran peran seperti ini.

Banyak kejutan di sepanjang critanya, aku jd sering nebak bakal gimana endingnya. Mereka juga bikin alurnya pas, ngga kelamaan. Biasanya agak males ntn drama china krn episode nya yg banyak dan bertele tele di tengah cerita. Banyak adegan yg sukses bikin ngakak, dan alhasil ak blm move on dr drama ini. Worth to watch dan ngga sabar ntn season 2 nya
