Today as we are celebrating Ryan Ding’s birthday, I write this review for this beautiful series I just finished watching. The Romance of Tiger and Rose is my eighth Ryan Ding’s drama. Seeing two of my favourite actors, Ryan Ding and Zhao Lusi in one screen is a wonderful treat for me because I love them both. Because I have watched several series before TROTR, the concept is not a cutting edge for me, but I think during the quarantine era this concept maybe new for the audiences and seeing these fresh actor and actress is like a “medicine” that can cure the problems of people during the quarantine time. As for me watching this in 2025, surprisingly I enjoy TROTR a lot because the concept is quite similar to LGIEF which I also watched. I used to only love Wuxia and Xianxia genre, but Ryan Ding has made me love Xuanhuan genre with both TROTR and LGIEF. He also opens my eyes that Xuanhuan is also an interesting genre to watch.
The chemistry between Ryan Ding and Zhao Lusi is chef kiss. The acting is perfect. The story is perfect. Of course I will rewatch it again. I hope they will make season 2 of TROTR and if not I hope they can make another series with both Ryan Ding and Zhao Lusi as the casts. Han Shuo and Qianqian! you’ll be missed:(, a lot.
