O Conto da Rosa (2024)

Interessante

Geralmente não assisto dramas da china, acho as protagonistas em sua maioria muito chatinhas e logo me sinto entediada. Decidi dar uma chance para esse drama , e que bom que comecei assistir, não apenas a protagonista é interessante como toda a história e os personagens.
O drama não se trata daqueles romances bobos cheios de cliches, pelo ao contrário aqui o romance é nos mostrado como ele realmente pode acontecer com qualquer um de nós, retrada a vida e seus tropeços e acertos que levamos.
Aprotagonista erra tentando acertar como qualquer um de nós e isso me conquistou afinal somos apenas mortais cheios de imperfeições tentando ser feliz.
O roteiro, figurino, elenco,história, dialógos são ótimos e tem sincronia entre si, e isso é bom.
A musica é linda principalmente a do final, eu assisti aos encerramentos de todos os episódios apenas para conteplar a musica, ela é simplesmente perfeita, unica.
Se você procura um drama maduro,adulto eu aconselho que assista esse drama, vale muito gastar seu tempo assistindo ele.

Refreshing modern female oriented drama

When casting is top notch & the story is not filled with over toxic characters, it's enjoyable to watch.

The story starts off with everyone captivated by Rose's beauty. Beauty is not just standard Chinese beauty but also the energy, 气质 she exhibits. Picking Cristal Liu is perfect for the role. She has that artsy, sophisticated 气质 and she looks young enough to play college age to 30's mom age.
She comes from a healthy family with loving parents with an overprotective brother. There isn't the idea of girls are any less valuable than boys hence she grew up free pursuing what she wants rather than what her parents want for her. She's smart, sassy, confident but also with many imperfections. She's not afraid to take chances on love and in life.

Ep 1-12 1st love. She's impulsive and the relationship progressed fast without deeper understanding. Break ups, fights, yelling feeling semi toxic as they find out more about each other. Very relatable to many people's 1st relationships.
Ep 13-28 Mr. Wrong Husband. She wanted someone stable and settled with the obvious wrong choice, but the series got draggy that I almost dropped the series. The best part was the divorce where she wrote to her daughter: "Divorce in my view only represent an end in a relationship and not a life failure."
Ep 28-35 Mr. Soulmate. At this point she regained her career and she's on a happier path. They have undeniable chemistry and connect on that artistic level.
Ep 36-38 Younger crush, not enough to make an impact.

What's enjoyable:
1. Good female supporting characters small or big parts. Even in the beginning a woman blaming her breakup on Rose, acting all crazy, Rose said "You are smart and beautiful, why waste more time on an underserving guy?" There was no female bashing over love interest like in other dramas.
2. Rose's Loving parents. Positive supportive parenting & nonjudgmental. "Life is only few decades long. If Happier times > sad times, then life is worth it."
3. Modern topics: Career women/Married, unmarried, divorced/Single parenting/Multiple loves, realistic that love moves on (None of that drama love trope of 30-year-old never been kissed, waiting to be reunited from their 1st unrequited love from 10 years ago because they met at 5 or something)

What could've been better:
1. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY less episodes on boring husband choice
2. Use those extra episodes on Soulmate
