The Romance of Tiger and Rose Episode 5

8.0/10 - Wow!! I did not think that was gonna happen!

Isn't it funny that no one else noticed that Chen Qian Qian is a different person? Or changed. I mean Han Shuo has found out that Chen Qian Qian is different, but he knows her through word of mouth and rumors. The Queen who loves Chen Qian Qian so much (which I'll talk about more) and sister Chen Chu Chu. While Chen Xiao Qian / Chen Qian Qian talked about how lonely she is and has no one I believe it's very true for the "real" Chen Qian Qian. Because her own mother and sister don't notice the huge differences, or pick up on the queues. Oh, but enemy Lin Qi has. And of course it's the thing that I wanted Chen Qian Qian to have merged/transferred to her. Oh, well. My dream would be for Han Shuo to teach Chen Qian Qian how to fight.

Han Shuo was pretty awesome in this episode. Building off of last episodes heart to heart confessions from Han Shuo it's incredible to see him read Chen Qian Qian and for him to realize that she was very afraid of getting her shoulder put back in place. Which only makes the later events harder to stomach as the trust between the to is ruined when Han Shuo finds out that Chen Qian Qian was really trying to set him up.

Which led to two things that I love and shocked me:
1. Chen Qian Qian's mom really loves her. I mean that end scene was moving.
2. Did Chen Qian Qian get the Dragon Bone that fast?!!!

So it's always standard for Crossworlds Travelers to find out that their "family members" in the alternate reality all hate them and want them dead. With some lesser family members maybe actually caring. I'm not totally sold on Chen Chu Chu fulling caring for Chen Qian Qian, but there's no animosity there. HOWEVER, if it is there I feel like the story is setting it up for Chen Chu Chu to believe that Chen Qian Qian is working against her. It is obvious that Chen Qian Qian's mother loves her so much and I know it's mentioned that the Queen loves her. Favors her. It wasn't until that final scene that I fully realized how much she loves her youngest daughter. I mean the DRAGON BONE! She barely cares what her daughter just did. Oh, no. She's just worried about protecting her. *sniffles* I'm not tearing up!!

Now about the Dragon Bone. I am still so shocked that this all happened so fast! So early in the drama! Which thrills me as now things are getting so real. I mean the bold turn means that The Romance of Tiger and Rose means business. This episode was a wild, moving, and hilarious ride!!!!!! I was so stunned by so many of the reveals. We're still left in suspense as to whether the cure worked for Han Shuo—I resent that. So that's a cliffhanger combined with what the ramifications for Chen Qian Qian is going to be. Not to mention what this means for the plot. *Happy Dance!*
