Ryan Ding and Zhao Lu Si had exceptional chemistry and their acting was phenomenal! AND their voice actors were very well selected, which was a HUGE plus for me (many times, voice actors can be very distracting and awkward, taking away from the overall drama for me).
The balance of romance, comedy, and political intrigue was so well executed that I just wanted to watch more and more until I finished the story. I found myself rewinding many episodes just to watch a scene all over again because it was either HILARIOUS or pulled at my heartstrings. My heart really ached at times, especially when it came to QianQian and Han Shuo realizing their feelings for each other through misunderstandings and heartbreak. The tension built up between them and then the betrayals/tragedy of their romance had me eating the story up while crying! XP
The ending (last 4 episodes) wasn't as good as the rest of the drama - the story somewhat slowed down... BUT I really loved how Chen Xiao Qian and her story evolved. She started in her story with all the knowledge to get along just fine in her fictional world, but as she forced her own survival as Chen QianQian, she changed the story so much so that by the end, she couldn't predict or ensure any ending based on her plans because things had changed too much for her to control. I really enjoyed watching this realistic development. And while things got a little boring and not as intense in episodes 22/23, I think it really gave Xiao Qian a greater sense of where her imperfections lie in her world-building of her story, so when she woke up, she knew how to further perfect her story.
The ending was life. I was so happy that things turned out that way because I don't think I would have been able to handle a true tragedy. AND the ending isn't too much for this genre, so it was a very happy, fitting ending. Some people are dissatisfied with their shortness of the ending, and while I wouldn't have complained to get a bit more of their happily-ever-ever, what was given was enough to satisfy me, so I'm happy. :D
I would recommend this to anyone. Really. If you like comedy and romance and don't mind historicals, this is a must watch. And even if you're not a huge fan of historicals, really, this drama is still fantastic. I can't rave enough about it! The Romance of Tiger and Rose is very much a character driven story: watching Han Shuo and QianQian fall in love, going from enemies-lovers and how their romance changes everything was such a wonderful experience that I can't help but want others to experience too! I will be watching again for sure!

I originally got into this after seeing a sort of isekai genre story where the leads interact like the leads in Weightlifting Fairy and the series didn't let me down. I don't usually watch series that are parody like but it was beautiful, funny, frustrating at times and made me smile. A lighthearted drama that leaves you scrambling for more.THE STORY
The story is basically a parody on the isekai genre and it was a fun take. They took all the cliches and used them in a fresh way and in a way that shows you plot holes but uses the plot holes themselves as reason for humor. The story acknowledged the stupidity of the characters and the premise and it actually worked so well. I don't really have many complaints except for Xiaoqian making a few completely stupid actions that make zero sense and made me tear my hair out or how the make up for nonsensical reasons but that's totally fine. It was a romcom on crack and the editing made me cackle. There were no episodes that left me not laughing and everyone was super in sync- even the side characters. Misunderstandings were solved quickly and logically and it followed a timeline that made a lot of sense, which was surprising in a good way.
One thing that was obvious was how the writer thought ahead, and while they acknowledge the stupidity in the story, does not let it define the story and use it as an excuse to make a half-assed plot. The central conflict was simple, but don't mistake simple for bad. The writer took into account the premise and actually built a feasible plot that progressed very well. While there was definitely an episode around the middle that felt draggy, there was a good balance in the plot itself, which made the series enjoyable, funny but not going off into nowhere like plots like this are prone to. I think it helps that there were only 24 episodes- but now it makes me want more!!
THE CAST
The cast was fairly young and what I understand are newer actors but they performed quite well. I don't have much to say as they all were in sync- and had great chemistry together. From Han Shuo and Bai Ji to even Chuchu and Qianqian, the relationships felt believable and real despite the crack of the plot and the wild card of Qianqian. Zhao Lu Si portrayed the very essence of Qianqian and Ryan Ding was a completely charming Han Shuo- he went from an "okay" character to one with a fleshed out personality- a tiger that turned into a little kitten in front of his love.
I appreciated how they fell in love- it wasn't instalove nor was it full of bad misunderstandings- okay they did try and kill each other so many times but they grew into a cute and loving relationship. Their pacing was surprisingly very good and I enjoyed seeing the changes in Han Shuo and how the craziness of Qianqian brought out the sides of himself that he thought he lost as he grew up. Truly, their romance was better and actually felt real as opposed to the original script by Xiaoqian- and it showed how she herself realized it and how "real" character relationships should be.
MUSIC
The music was cute and suited all the scenes. While the songs weren't completely my style, it was perfect for setting the moods and often put a smile to my face. Their integrations were pretty flawless.
CONCEPTS
The whole editing that would remind me of memes was used well- not overused and had the perfect comedic timing. I also love the comparison of tiger and rose- the title was integrated pretty well with the symbolism.
REWATCH VALUE
I would rewatch anytime! This was super cute and had great energy and there's no way I'd get tired of it at all. I loved how their bickering reminded me of the main couple in Weightlifting Fairy and I have been looking for more couples like them- I'm glad I found these two (PS if anyone knows about a couple with similar dynamics please tell me the drama name!!).
CONCLUSION
It was hilarious, fuzzy, heartbreaking, heart-capturing and beautiful! I surprisingly loved this series so much and I'd recommend it to anyone that would like to take a break from long dramas and tragic angsty romances. This was a fun watch and I'm so glad I came across it :)

Romance & Comedy drama that includes many heart wrenching crying scenes
The main leads for this drama were some of my favourite actors. Their acting was amazing. This drama includes lots of comedy but there were also many scenes that made me sob my eyes out. Just in the first 5 episodes, I probably cried 3 times. The plot was pretty new too. I was hesitant to watch it at first but its so worth watching. I already recognized Zhao Lusi (female lead) from one of my old favourite dramas, Untouchable Lovers, and she grew so much. This is the drama that made me fall in love with this actress. She plays many different roles very well. This drama made me have so much emotions, I remember a scene where i was sobbing then started laughing because of what happened afterwardsEsta resenha foi útil para você?
A must watch romcom
If you want to watch a historical Chinese drama with light politics and full of comedy, then you have come to the right place. This drama is full of comedy. The moment you will think things are getting serious, it will hit you with a huge laugh.The drama is about Xiaoqian who dreams into her own drama as a minor character. I love this kind of stories. So the moment I read the synopsis, I jumped into the drama.
Zhao Lusi, as usual did a great job with her character. She is so cute and boubly. She pulled her character very well and will make you fall in love with her.
Ryan Ding also did a great job. His character Han shou is the cutest husband one will ever get. Initially he came for his own interest. But the moment he fall in love with Chen qianqian, he will not let her go. He is scheming, cold and ruthless but the moment he sees Chen qianqian, his heart melts. Such a caring and cute husband.
Not only the main leads but other characters will entertain you as well. Especially the servants of the main leads. They are hilarious and adorable.
As a whole, this drama is a must watch if you are having a hard time cause this drama will surely make you laugh.
A must watch drama who likes romcom as well as others.

The plot is an excellent banter, over the scriptwriter's procession and the world of dramas.
smart heroin (can you imagine yes?), The hero is no less intelligent. All characters are complex and deep, very ambiguous. God, what servants!
I cried and laughed in every episode. A couple so touching.
Тhe plot is incredible, dynamic and smart. This is the first drama in which there are no huge logical holes.
I enjoyed every episode.
I would like to heartily thank everyone who came up with this and took it off. The best romanic comedy EVER!)
God send us a SPETIAL! I'd like a little more "candy floss" in the end.

When I watch the trailers for this drama, I noticed how much chemistry the OTP had, and it immediately drew me in. Zhao Lu Si delivered a great performance as Chen Qiao Qiao. I think she does comedy very well and while I was not impressed by her look in "I hear you", her loveliness shone through in this show. She was endearing, charming, and just plain adorable. Ryan Ding's portrayal of Han Shuo was perfection as well. I thought that he acted well in "Intense Love," but in this drama, he showed a broader acting range in playing Han Shuo's complex character. I enjoyed seeing Han Shuo's character development - from cunning and cold, to faithful and protective. To me, Ryan's performance was a big part of why the story worked so well. He's very charismatic, and I love his micro-expressions. He can easily cause one's heart to flutter.
One thing I really liked was how devoted Han Shuo and Pei Heng were to Qian Qian. Despite all her silly antics, her lies and betrayal, Han Shuo was not able to act cruelly towards her. Even after being friend-zoned by Qian Qian, Pei Heng continued to remain supportive, and cared for her. Talk about committed hearts!
The supporting cast was fun and quirky, and two leads' male servants, Bai Ji and ZhiRui were hilarious. Their bromance was so fun to watch! I like that there was depth to the characters, including the villains. The story flowed really well and effectively created conflicts that people can sympathize with.
As for the music, it was ok - other than the intro song, I don't remember much of it. However, that could be because I was laughing out loud so much and not paying attention.
Overall, this drama surpassed my expectations! It is very entertaining, fast-paced and filled with lots of fun and silliness!

This drama was probably the most funny drama I watched out of the 30 dramas I watched so far. The plot was interesting while there were a lot of jokes. I really like how the main leads closets servants where so loyal while being ridiculously funny at the same time. Another reason why this drama was great for me is how short it is, I mean it has like ummmmmmmm like 24 episodes. That means this drama was faced paced and not too draggy like the other dramas I watched before.
Overall this drama is AMAZING

Watch if you want to have fun! Funny, meta and romantic <3
This show is so much fun! The humour is meta but absolutely fresh and avoids overused tropes.The story follows a screenwriter who tries to make changes to her script as the actor isn't happy with it. She gets trapped in the plot as a side character who was supposed to be killed off on ep3. Out of self preservation she tries to spare her own life while trying to bring the leads together. What ends up happening is a hilarious mess instead of the tragedy action romance she has written.
I love how the romance is portrayed. QQ(our protagonist) is trying to get the story on track according to her script and pushes the HS(ML) towards the FL in her script. Unfortunately the ML no longer has any interest in the script FL and has his eyes set on QQ. He is the lead shipper for our couple.
I am a Zhao Lusi fan and she is delightful as the FL . She absolutely shines as the protagonist and has fantastic screen presence . Ding Yuxi is handsome and pulls off the initially prejudiced but supportive loving and funny husband role very well.
I have rarely seen shows being able to keep up the humour throughout as this one does. A comparable show would be The Eternal Love which I really loved as well. Please watch this show if you want to have fun :D

The characters are literally the best part. I commend the writer for creating such lively and realistic characters, all important to the plot. The chemistry and coordination between all the leads and supporting characters was beautiful. The characters were all rational and written with depth. I didn’t find anyone to be overly annoying or exaggerated. The character development was so well done. It felt like I was watching them all grow and become more important individuals which I rarely see in Chinese dramas.
The romance shines bright and gives you the desired butterflies in your abdomens. Our main leads, Han Shuo and Qianqian were the best example of a healthy couple. Han Shuo, seemingly cold and arrogant, warms up to Qianqian and protects her with his whole heart. He was the perfect male lead, aggressive at times and soft for her. I personally loved his character the most. He displayed such wholesome affection for Qianqian, I fell in love!
The comedy is (unlike most dramas) very clever. They don’t force laughter upon the audience but it’s the small spontaneous comebacks or actions which blew me away, making it seem like a realistic world. I fell off my couch laughing so many times and it’s crazy how I rarely find “rom-coms” comedic.
I just wish, there was more. An insight into the real world. I miss it and will be rewatching soon. ?

Where to start with this drama. Before watching this, i thought that i wouldn't enjoy it. But boyyyy was i wrong.This drama was amazing. I loved every part of it. For starters, the actors. WOW. They played the characters perfectly. The main leads especially. Their chemistry was amazing. They had a cute, and loving relationship. As well as funny. For me some other dramas take a while to notice the chemistry. But with this couple i noticed it right away. The story was amazing too. It wasn't dragged out like some. It was evenly spaced throughout the 24 episodes. And i didn't feel bored at all. Then ending was happy too, so that't a bonus. The only thing i'd want more from this drama was a longer ending. Maybe a longer reunion between the main leads. Or even better, a season 2 for the couple in the modern world. While watching this i had a theory that maybe the main FL and ML's soul might have travelled to a parallel world where FL'S script actually happened. But that's only my creative thinking lol. But for anyone who is thinking of watching this, just watch it. You won't regret it. The only bad thing you would feel, is after you've watched it all you don't ever want it to end. 100% one of my top chinese dramas. And i most definitely will be re watching this. The only problem now is i have no idea what to watch next. Overall the entire cast was great, and wouldn't change a single actor or character!

The on-screen and off-screen chemistry between Ding Yuxi and Zhao Lusi is just off the charts?I'd just like to say, the casting director did an amazing job! Each and every actor played their role amazingly.
The drama is soooooo funny and the romance is sooooo sweet. I heard the director has already confirmed for season 2. Fingers crossed it's the same cast. I can't wait to watch the next season?
