A very solid rom-com
The Romance of Tiger and Rose basically delivers what it promises in the beginning: an involving love story in a historical setting with plenty of comedy. Is it a challenging drama that provokes the audience with original ploylines and ideas? No, although there are some interesting themes that I'll discuss later, but for working efficiently with its premise, it definetely deserves a praise.There wasn't a moment where I felt super bored or uninterested in this drama. It has a nice pacing, a suitable amount of episodes and the romance is well developed, and later when the couple is already together and their relationship cannot create the tension the plot needs, the writers then turn to explore the social and political aspects more, and I really liked that. I was pleseantly surprised when the feminist themes where more explored and that provided some nice pieces of dialogue.
The main couple had nice chemistry and this is one Chinese drama where (most of) the cast had a more decent and convincing acting. Also I must say that the costumes were simply gorgeous. But I guess now I should get into the things I didn't enjoy so much.
I started and ended liking the FL, but many time in between she enraged me. How am I supposed to believe she is so kind when she keeps making a bunch of rash decisions that harmed everyone around her? It was pretty annoying how she made a lot of mistakes but never suffered the consequences.
Also what the hell were the writers thinking by including that scene with sexual harassment??? I'm not gona extend myself talking about it to avoid spoilers, but it was super unnecessary. Besides that, there were some minor things that bothered me, like some plotholes and inaccuracies. I also still don't know how I feel about the ending, it was a bit cheap, but nothing that ruined my experience.
All things considered, The Romance of Tiger and Rose is pretty consistent and solid, I definitely would recommend it to any rom-com fans out there!

Hilarious Easy watch
Such a fun show. The lead characters were so funny and had such chemistry. Big fan of both Zhao Lu Si and Ding Yu Xi. Good story with a good ending. Fun and easy to watch. You won't be bored. Great romcom! I could easily watch this again. The actors really draw you in to the story. The subplots could have been stronger but it doesn't ruin the show nor draw focus away.Was this review helpful to you?
Not sure what I need to say more about this drama, except that it is a delight to watch and I am excited to see the sequel if it is the same cast. Hopefully, this time set in the modern era.

A bit cliche but got a phenomenal main leads as an actors!
Romance of Tiger and Rose.A really cute and fun af cdrama. The main couple is really cute together, although I wish they had more romantic scenes and their conflict seems pretty shallow. The plot has a lot of loopholes and can be cliche but amazing actors made me finished it. The maidservants chemistry with Han Suo and Chen Qianqian are top tier. I love all their bickering and kinda wished for more. Zhao Lusi is really a cute and promising actress while Ding Yuxi just made me want to have my own Han Suo! I’m basically smiling like a cheschire cat whenever he do swoon worthy scenes.
Final Rank: Likeable Series, All Time Favourite (Worthy to Rewatch)

Funny with Great Chemistry
I loved this drama a lot! It has a great plot that works to twist a lot of common tropes by causally breaking the 4th wall while also creating a story that doesn't depend on that to make it interesting. I loved every character especially the main couple who I felt had motivations that made sense to who they are not just what the plot needed. It also has good rewatch value since they didn't make it too long, which I appreciate. This reminds me a lot of my favorite drama, Scarlet Heart but a version that is simpler and a comedy more than a realistic drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Refreshing comedy with original plot and first class actors
I wasn't expecting much from this drama based on the trailers I watched, that's the reason why I've started to watch it lately. Surprisingly I enjoyed the whole drama, the plot, the actors, the music and settings.Over all, main lead actors did a very good job, I really fall in love with the couple Chen Qian Qian / Han Shuo. Not only the actors chemistry was good, but they also managed to make us share the love and feelings the characters had for each other. Yes you definitly want to know how all the story will end and won't skip any episode !
Beside main actors Zhao Lusi and Ding Yuxi I'd like to underline the fact that all the actors in here were really good and those who played the lead characters servants were really brilliant bringing fun with hilarious sentences and acting !
Interesting plot, fun, good acting and love story, what else do we need to be entertained ? Nothing.

YOU WON’T REGRET IT!
I loved this drama so much! It was creative, hilarious yet romantic, and it was just perfect in every way possible! The actors/actresses were well picked, and the chemistry between the main leads was just chef’s kiss. Because I had just finished watching The Long Ballad and thought that Zhao Luis was a very great actress, I decided to give this drama a try. She never disappoints me, and her coordination with her co-actors deserves a standing ovation! I wasn’t wrong to tune in on this journey because throughout this drama, I laughed and cried along with the characters- and there are very few dramas that pull me in like so. I don’t ever regret watching this drama, and I promise that it will be the same for you too. Watch The Romance of Tiger and Rose now!Was this review helpful to you?
Fun, entertaining watch!
This was such a fun show to watch. It was funny and interesting. Don't expect too much serious stuff in this show. If you're just looking to be entertained, then this is a great show to watch.STORY
Although it has an interesting premise, the story isn't really original since there are already a lot of isekai or author going into his/her work stories. But it was still fun figuring out how the main character, Qian Qian will solve her problem. There are a lot of questionable logic in the story though, but as I said, if you don't take these things too seriously, you'll enjoy the show. The ending was a bit cliche and rushed. I feel that they could've fleshed the ending out a bit more.
COSTUME
I liked the first costume of Qian Qian, the bright red one when she was still portrayed as the "villain" but then it immediately shifted to pastel colors when Xiao Qian got transported to the story. I thought it would've been more interesting to keep the red color or style of costume until she gradually becomes the "main character" in the story.
ACTING
This is the first drama I've watched of Zhao Lusi and she's already becoming one of my favorites. Her expressions, mischievousness, her smile, etc. She just lights up the screen and is so enjoyable to watch. Qian Qian can be annoying sometimes but Zhao Lusi is too likable for me to really be annoyed by the character.
Ryan Ding, I wasn't really a big fan before but I really like him in this drama. He can shift from being cold, calculative and intense to being like a love sick puppy. They're both so fun to watch on screen.
Aside from the leads the standout to me were really the actors who played Zi Rui and Bai Ji. I even want to watch them if they have their own comedy show.
OVERALL
There's no boring part in this drama. It was very entertaining and an interesting insight in how authors don't really control every aspect of their characters. Once they make them, sometimes they come alive on their own. It's also fun to see how Qian Qian will untangle herself from the mess she keeps on making. The main leads are sooo cute, I want to watch them again and again!

Best Chinese drama ever made!
২০১৬ সাল থেকে ড্রামা দেখা শুরু করলেও ২০২০ সালের মধ্যভাগ পর্যন্ত আমার দেখা চাইনিজ ড্রামার সংখ্যা ছিল নিতান্তই হাতেগোনা। প্রায় ২২০+ কোরিয়ান ড্রামার বিপরীতে চাইনিজ ড্রামার সংখ্যা ছিল মাত্র আড়াইটা!! My Amazing Boyfriend, Love O2O আর Master Devil Do Not Kiss Me ছাড়া ২০২০ এর মাঝামাঝি পর্যন্ত আর কিছুই ধরা হয়নি। এর মাঝে আবার মাস্টার ডেভিল প্রথম সিজনের অর্ধেক দেখার আগেই ড্রপ দিয়েছিলাম ভালো লাগতেছিল না দেখে।চাইনিজ দেখতাম না তার প্রধান কারণ ছিল ভাষাটা সহ্য হতো না, কানে লাগতো খুব। আর দ্বিতীয় কারণ ছিল ওদের কাঠখোট্টা রোমান্স। রোমান্টিক সিন গুলো দেখলে মনে হতো ইচ্ছার বিরুদ্ধে জোর করে অভিনয় করতেছে!!
এরপর এই বছরের মাঝামাঝিতে একদিন ইউটিউবে ছোট্ট একটা ক্লিপস দেখে বাঘ আর হনুলুলুর প্রেম ড্রামা টা দেখতে বসি। তারপর বাকিটা ইতিহাস!! আমার চাইনিজ ড্রামা ভালোবাসার কারণ, গত কয়েক মাসে প্রায় ৪৫+ চাইনিজ ড্রামা শেষ করার কারণ, কাঠখোট্টা চায়না ভাষা কেও সুমধুর লাগার কারণ, জোর করে করা রোমান্টিক সিন গুলো কেও অসম্ভব মিষ্টি লাগার কারণ, আর কিছুই না.... এই লাল ড্রেস পরা নাদুসনুদুস মেয়েটাই সব অসম্ভবকে সম্ভব করার মূল কারণ!!

Actors are awesome, story is busted
I love the male and female leads. They are hilarious with amazing screen chemistry. However the story is repetitive and mediocre at best. They're too many side stories that are unnecessary and kinda take away from the main plot. Which is sad because the main plot idea is what drew me in. I love Ding Yuxi and Zhao Lu Si, they are easily two of my favorite actors and they executed these roles well. But how many times did the sister suspect the husband? She was constantly accusing but then bam fell in love with him ?and the sisters right hand man being a snake. The main characters whole personality changed and no one questioned it. I wanted so much to love this drama but it just wasn't for me ?Was this review helpful to you?
