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.

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

One of the best romcoms I have seen!
If you are looking for a romcom full of heart-racing cute scenes, hilarious jokes, and a great story, you are at the right place. The Romance of Tiger and Rose (RTR) will not disappoint to provide all types of audiences an enjoyable viewing experience.Let me start what I love about this drama:
♡ The creative world setting:
With so many costumes dramas get produced these days, time-travels are not new. However, the female lead Chen Qian Qian will have to survive in a city in which the role of male and female are reversed (the rose city). Imagining that this world exists in an ancient environment builds up the curiosity about how she will survive there. This provides a novel touch to the drama. I would almost watch a story just about this city itself. I appreciate that despite a comical and foolish nature of a romcom, the makers use a world setting to indirectly criticize the inbalance and biases existing in historical and even in the present world. Coming from a Chinese costume drama that is usually scrutinized by various types of censorships, this gives me hope in the future of the Chinese drama world.
♡ The pacing and hilarious jokes:
I cannot remember the last time to be this entertained by a drama. Next to the time-travel aspect, there is also the fact that the female protagonist knows she is stuck in her own script. Thus, the 4th wall between viewers and characters is continually being broken - a brand new way that feels refreshed. Then there are these a bit stupid but hilarious supporting characters such as the two close footmen of the main leads or the mountain bandit leader. Even when the plot became more serious towards the end, they manage to pull off a very amusing scene between the lords of the two cities.
The pacing of this drama is swift (e.g., it took the female lead about 5 min to realize she is stuck in her own script), and 24 episodes are quick to absorb. The turns in events are not expected but still very logical. The makers use the right storytelling methods to build suspense and release anxiety quickly enough (e.g., by clarifying misunderstandings between the leads).
♡ The switch in roles between male and female leads; their chemistry:
I have never watched a Zhao Luo Si-led drama though I have heard great things about her (and that she has had a bite of the cutest actors nowadays, including my favorite Xu Kai.. arrg). After watching RTR, I finally got to know why she is this popular. She has a cute round face that does not appear to be sculptured or perfect. There is no idol aura in her acting, and she does not refrain from pulling off all kinds of facial expressions. This makes her acting very natural. ZLS is well-known for her dorky, adorable, slight foolish but pure-hearted characters. One can see that CQQ's personality assembles ZLS in real life, so you cannot help but like her.
However, I was most surprised by the performance of the young actor Ding Yu Xi playing Han Shuo. At the start, I found his acting a bit stiff, but he soon showed his other sides: cold and determined, kind and sweet, funny and dorky, strong and protective. The makers purposely switched the script between the female and male leads, letting Han Shuo chase the female lead for the most of the drama and show this cute and dorky part of his personality. And this is so irresistible! My heart soon was taken away by Han Shuo and his sweetness. I think I have not experienced this kind of heart racing and pain for a long time. His and CQQ's chemistry is top, so that some drama reviewers believed DYX really fell in love with ZLS. I started to rewatch the drama even before the final episodes were out just to watch these two lovebirds. I sincerely hope DYX becomes more popular from this drama, so he gets to try out various roles as I see endless possibilities for this 25 years old actor.
Now I few words why I did not give the drama a 10 (I really wanted to...!):
❤ ︎Plot holes in the world setting:
Despite my liking for the world setup, there are few plot bugs to this arrangement that could have been more thought through. For example, militarism is considered the main symbol of power, even in the rose city does not make sense. I agree that women can be equally talented and passionate about militarism, but retain this concept for a female-led society is a bit shallow thinking.
Also, why would the musical concubines behave this feministic? Why do they play music in the first place (which is the same art as female concubines in ancient times)? Why can't they perform arts that are "more masculine" and appreciated by women? I wished there could have been more creativity to some of the details given the stage was all set.
❤ ︎Losing the grip towards the end:
Though this drama does not have a lousy tail, it did disappoint me a bit towards the end. The story continued to pace very fast from one surprise to the other without the full logic. The behaviors of lead and supporting characters became less rational so that I even became confused at the end what QCC really wanted to achieve. Also, the ending is up for interpretation of the viewers. It can either be read as a happy end and that there has been a bug in the character setup of Han Shuo or that there is no problem in the character setup. It can also be read as a mixed ending. The fact that there are so many somewhat different interpretations of the ending deducts a few points for me.
Overall, I would recommend this drama to anyone who loves romcom but cannot stand draggyness or sudden change of theme from comedy to tragedy. Once again, it has also proven to us that it's not about the budget as this drama clearly did not have a big one... Do not hesitate and let the world of Tiger and Romance take you away.

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!

So Good!
Looking to escape into a drama that will make you laugh a lot but maybe cry a little but leave feeling happy?There aren't many dramas where the ending leaves me smiling and feeling ridiculously happy and satisfied, but this one did. The Romance of Tiger and Rose is a new favorite. With how it kept me laughing while needing to know what was going to happen, it was one I couldn't stop watching. It was a bit longer than needed. Yes, it's short for a C-Drama at 24 episodes, but I felt like it could have done better with a little less of the very dramatic last 8 or so episodes. And poor Ding Yu Xi did a fantastic job acting, but the makeup (or lack of) was jarring after seeing him in other roles. Still, there wasn't much about this drama that I didn't like. It was just soooo good!

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?

I think I can flat out say that Ryan Ding is my new favorite Chinese actor. I am a stan, I am committed, I am ready for more. To already have so many leading roles under his belt at such a young age, I'm excited to see what he takes on next! The chemistry between the leads is fantastic on and off set. All of the supporting characters are well rounded and have a place. I really hope this drama gets renewed for a second season so we can see ShouShouxQianQian in a modern setting.
TLDR; If you like romantic comedy, add this to you PTW for sure!

Story- There's no "real" villain in this drama only circumstances that lead them to a certain decision. This is a very light hearted drama for those who are into rom-coms, I must say that this one is highly recommended. It's fun to watch, hilarious and witty, lots of notable scenes that you'd repeat over and again. Fast paced and not draggy at all, good numbers of episode.
Acting/Casts- This is one of the few dramas that have undeniable chemistry between the leads both on and off cam. The side characters/supporting did an awesome job as well, they were all given the chance to shine without taking the main lead's screen time. All of the casts fits perfectly to their role. Ryan Ding and ZLS is my new favorite screen partner! If they are planning to have season 2, hope they get the same casts, it'd be awful if one of them is replaced, I think everyone is perfect for their roles.
Music- Hmm the OST is a little lacking, could've been better.
Rewatched value- Don't ask me..lol I rewatched each episodes many times while waiting for the next episodes, so yeah, it's up to you, but for me, lots of cute and funny scenes that is worth going back over and again. No boring scenes, didn't skip or fast forward any scenes at all.
Overall, I think this is one of the best cdrama rom-coms I have ever watched so far so I highly recommend this one!

STORY:
PERFECT, arguments are dealt with within an episode or two [ you guys must must brace yourself for the high point aka the worst fight of the drama because it isnt sad but its funny and sexy and hot FOR REAL its still pg13 :>] zhao lu si fits her character super well. if you know her off cam you will agree. she gets adored by everyone shes around. hanshuo is just an OMG. i fell in love with him because of his looks and mainly because of how much he loves the FL and how he treats her even though she keeps [she seems like she is but she really isnt, its mostly misunderstandings] lying to him

RECOMMENDATIONS IF YOU LIKE THIS DRAMA:
Korean -
W: Two worlds
A girl gets pulled into a viral webtoon world her father created, she falls in love with the male lead of the webtoon. basically like how xiao qian got stuck in her script world
Chinese-
THE eternal love [by xingzhaolin] - a girl time traveled accidentally to the period world and was married to the 8th prince, mo lian cheng. this show is super funny because the original girl [in the period world] is a quite and gentle girl. however the girl brought from the modern world is aggressive and short tempered. she wont let anyone bully her or anyone she loves. its also packed with comedy and romance keke. theres a season2 for this!!
- Theres this another show but i really forgot its name, its about this prince suddenly appearing in a girl's room in the modern world. something about a turning lamp...
