I still can't bring myself to watch ep 18 but now that 19 is here, maybe I can ff through 18 to "fast forward this plot" like QQ did (by pretending to be drunk in an earlier ep lol).
You and me both. I am currently watching ep 18 slowly, with caution. Lol
It is great to be able to ff scene. Hahaha. But with this drama, I managed to keep it to minimum. Perhaps because it is not as angsty as many other dramas, and there are sprinkles of funny scenes here and there.
On different note, if only we can ff this pandemic too. *sigh

It's on YouTube as well I believe. This drama was ok, I dropped it because I couldn't get behind the FL's brand of cute (nothing against her, just not my style. She's very popular so it works for many! She's in an idol competition right now and also very popular there, though some also feel like me, that's she's a bit cloying.)
This is why I find Lusi so impressive. How can she be so cute without cloying?? I find her very naturally adorable with charisma to boot!
Was looking at Yuxi's previous dramas and I think he's been exclusively playing the perfect boyfriend in all of them
(except for New smiling wanderer). Han Shuo must have been a fun role for him, he has a little bit of a dark side even if all he indirectly killed was a horse. I hope he gets more complex roles in the future! His face is very versatile, can be both evil and sweet!
Thank you. I had better reinstalled a vpn then. Many things cant be watched without having one, i suppose.
I think LS has a rare quality in which she can be funny, cheerful and cheeky without being annoying. Her role in LBTI is an exception.
I can picture YX playing darker, more macho role. I hate saying this, but he still looks a bit green to me. He might need to add some tone and muscle for more complex role. Shall he nailed it, it would be awesome, I think!

You should try to watch "I've Fallen for you" 24 ep. Nice love story and not mention it is funny.
Unfortunately iqiyi is not compatible with my tablet.
Any suggestion where I can legally watch it?

Agree with what you said
his hair styling is not that great in this show. He’s rather handsome as we can see in the modern drama intense love. With a better stylist, he definitely will look better.
i dun like quan Qian hair too. Can do better than that..
Low cost production I Guess, just braid here braid there.
i am having withdrawal syndrome after binge marathon all the raw episodes ..
not sure what to watch next while waiting for full English subs( to rewatch again )
suggestions are welcomed !!!
I completely agree with you on HS hair. I like his hair in modern era more, and even more: his hair on Intense Love. Hair stylists can make people look stunning and balanced like deity, and can also make people look clumsy, silly, deformed, awkward.
I am still trying to finish Love Better than Immortality right now, and one thing that really bothers me other than the main female character (ZLS) is the main female character's HAIR. Her hairstyle is unflattering and makes me wonder why oh why the main male characters fell head over heels for her, with such crappy behavior too (she betrayed them over and over and yet they kept chasing her).
The main male character (Li Hong Yi) is godly though.
I would suggest watching light dramas like The Eternal Love and Love by Hypnotic.
But my favorite would be Joy of Life, the Untamed, Handsome Siblings (I recommend this one because it is funny and doesnt require too much thinking and low on angst).
If you dont mind some angst, then TMOPB (Eternal Love) it is. I even enjoy its sequel (Eternal love of dream) especially after 5 eps.
But I would rather rewatch Handsome Siblings, Joy of Life and The Eternal Love, if you ask me.
I dont suggest Love and Destiny, not because it is bad...but because I cant stand the flat combed hair.
I dont suggest watching Love Better than Immortality unless to swoon over the main male lead. *still upset

While Li Cheng Yin is kind of delulu to think that he can has Xiao Feng by his side even if he did that (although in the ancient war time, I understand why he did that to her grandfather)
About some similar story line in Goodbye My Princess & The Romance of Tiger and Rose, it might add much more fun if the writer insert the famous jump in the river of forgetfulness scene with a twist LOL
In Goodbye My Princess, Li Cheng Yin thought his wife is a mind reader. LOL. They look good together though (and its modern era twist is sweet like cotton candy)
Han Shuo is a lot better. He always explains his actions right after he did something, and he makes it very clear that he doesnt love anyone but Orange. Li Cheng Yin did not do that. He even kept a mistress and acted as if she was his favorite (in order to protect his wife). In a way, Li Cheng Yin's actions sounds so much like QQ actions towards Pei Heng, in which she always defends him in front of our Banana. A big no no. I think if you love someone, you are supposed to make that very clear, just like what our tiger Han Shuo does to Xiao Qian, always defend her, even in front of Bai Ji, the envoy, the city owner...basically, everyone. He is an idol husband, if you ask me. Hahahaha. He even bet for her, when the whole city bet against her.
Perhaps they can invent something quite the contrary, like...River of Remembrance. For instance: they fell into the river of remembrance, and when they woke up, they're already in modern era, remembering all events in the script world.
On another thing
Su Mu is also my favorite! He is rarely mentioned, but I guess nobody can move first princess' heart other than him. His gentle demeanor can heal any wound, I think!

I have just watched up to ep 16 (will be 18 today, I hope), and I will wait until last ep patiently. Very difficult to duck all the spoilers.
Thank you all for putting spoiler tag!
I love how fast paced and on-point this drama is, rather than dilly dallying like many other dramas.
Would I vouch for 2nd season...
...not necessarily. This drama is not like Joy of Life which already have plan in advance that they will have (5?) seasons.
I would rather have well planned seasons in advance rather than season made just because of the hype, like Meteor Garden and Bu Bu Jing Xin (Scarlet Heart).
It is very rare to find second season that is as good and enjoyable as first season, especially those whipped up after first season fame is rising. The rare ones include Eternal Love (now shooting for 3rd season?) and perhaps Nirvana on Fire (I have not watched this but reviews are looking great).
Another thought on why I would rather have 1 season is that as a fan, having them playing the second season would also mean that they as actor/actress will not explore other roles/genre/character for the time being - which is not that good for their development as actor/actress.

I still , still prefer this present drama Romance of tiger n rose.
I love how on Romance of Banana City and Round-shaped fruits City, Banana seems very logical in a sense that if he loves it, he pursuits it, he doesnt hide. He wears his heart on his sleeves. His actions really say a lot about his feelings. Too bad our dear Orange seems to be a bit slow to catch that, or to take that seriously.
On first ep, I thought Banana would be this dangerous, scheming, conniving dark knight, but whatddayaknow...he ended up to be THIS adorable, innocent, a bit shamefully narcistic, shamelessly honest guy.
I also love the idea of reversal of genders being played in this series, although sometimes they seem to forget about this setup too. Hahaha.
Big plus is that it is super funny and entertaining.
In Love Better than Immortality, it is interesting that the male lead is NOT your typical good guy. The martial world even considers him the ultimate evil. He is dangerous (killing, eye-gauging, teleporting straight into your bed kind of guy), scheming, dangerously seductive and shamelessly perverted. But whatever evil that he may have in mind, he always has soft spot for the female lead, that made us root for him. For instance, instead of instantly killing people like he always do, he reconsiders his first instinct, in order to make his lady happy. So...imagine...Count Dracula, perhaps? Or Phantom of The Opera. Or The Beast (which was considered a monster by the villagers).
I dont enjoy the opening ost though.
In Oh My Emperor...I actually didnt really like the female lead character here. But I guess it was also because I had second male lead crush syndrome when I watched this. The drama is not as well made as the aforementioned two.

I am dying to watch the next episode 15... a week away... aiiissss....
Have already rewatched the whole series
so what r you watching right now to fill the gap ?
I am watching Lusi's past project: Love Better than Immortality. The male lead is so gorgeous and in this drama, he is like this tiger eyeing for his prey, with intoxicating stare. Plus, he is somewhat like a cross between kungfu master, a CCTV and David Copperfield who can vanish within second you turned your head, and pop back in your room the least time you expected him.
I thank God that male like that dont appear anywhere in my life or I'll be in big trouble. I prefer someone like our Han Shuo, who would be willing to change into girl's dress for me to rip as pay back method. Hahahaha. He made me laugh.

This YouTuber gave a review of this drama and believes Ryan Ding fell in love with Zhao Lu Si in real life during filming.
Ahhhh....I love her videos! Soo soothing for me hearing her tone, somehow. Btw, back to Ryan Ding....I thought I was the only one thinking that he looked like someone falling in love! I started to think that way after watching his interview/zoom meeting/twitter vid (I forgot, but it was somewhere in this thread). He blushes and his EYES just got WIDER, followed by widening smile.

Me too! With the exception of Eternal love of dreams, I will fast forward some scenes in the dramas that I watched. But this one, I actually repeated some scenes cos they were too cute. Hope there's a happy ending cos I can't deal with bad endings
This drama is one of the rare ones in which I don't fast torward, and if any, I would likely be rewatching the entire eps to relive their antics. In fact I am repeating some scenes, to kill time before new eps come out, same with @chsaf
@-Love Blossom- , with all the stress coming from the pandemic, watching light dramas like these really keeps people sane.
Thank you, @taekwang and @Adidaem for the links! Will open them as soon as I got back! Biggest hugs!

http://t.cn/A62yaZIs?m=4507331352722314&u=5666481284
this one is behind the scene
funny part is when he flips the blanket, she is laffing like a goose.. she says he's like the waiter in hai di lao, flipping the noodles..
and when he helps himself to the grapes, she says him to feed her as her hands are binded... see how he tease her..
hilarious
Awww...their interactions in BTS snippets are so cuuuute. Both leads are funny and playful, and they seem to be having great time during filming. I guess it makes both the series and the BTS entertaining to watch. Really thankful for this drama. I get to have good laugh from ep 1 to (now) 8. The only reason why I havent watched the rest eps is because I worry that I would be running out of ep to watch
I hope the story ends happily, and I hope the series is doing well.
Btw I think the original voice of the male lead is not that different from the dub.

My heart broke a little at the end of ep 8, but I have faith on fabulous week(s) ahead! Mom's memory is interesting. But I cant tell anything by that short vision yet. You guys are real good, firt it was the thumb kiss, and then the imaginary kiss. This time might be true that they were all related somehow, as friends as childhood, perhaps. Ryan and SiAn might be brothers, having such resemblance stated by DM in the Auction Hall. Lee Sol and DM mother might be friends, which makes all of them childhood friends.
As about other things in ep.8....
After all those muscles DM had lent to move all those furnitures, DI was especially mean and sneaky to say that to DM. But since she wouldnt want the lion (being the best friend that he is) to look so irrepairably miserable albeit being with her, I bet DI would finally give him up and tell the truth. Redeem yourself, woman!
EG is being childish and petty, but I guess he would come to realize that DM wont be that happy only by being with him and fangirling. Awhhh I can juuusttt imagine a scene where DM wanted to edit SA pictures to heal her broken heart, only to find herself feeling dull and looking at lion's pictures on her screen, which makes her in tears. Awwhhhhh....
But to tell you the truth, when DM let go on lion's hand and walked away, in my heart I see the virtue of having a virtual life: they give you second chances. The lion might be someone that makes DM sad right now, but Latte-nim will make things right. Sinagil has good impression on Latte, right? S(he) is VIP member afterall.
Btw, the lion has not returned Sinagil's notebook, too.
On different remarks, I always love PMY's smile. Although I dont like the lion's crooked smile as much, I think he is ooooozing with sexiness, and that is more than enough.

After looking at those videos of them feeding each other, looking at their chemistry, how they joke around, how they enjoy each other's company (basically how they interact with each other on screen and off screen, really) it would be unfortunate if they dont go out for real.
They clicked!

I am super glad that they made bonus movie depicting modern reincarnation of our beloved couple (three is a charm!).
I am super happy that they are together again and finally be happy!
I am also glad that he can finally realized his long lost fantasy of becoming a tea seller. Hahahahaha.
I love that the modern story ties everything up together, and made it this wonderful, wonderful story of two individuals who love one another dearly. They are so cute, and now that they are together, I have the closure that I want: a happy ending.
Actually it is quite obvious that they clicked together nicely. If there are no revenge mission involved, they will likely to end up being together quickly (just like how GXW married XF in Danchi, and now Lao Wu and XF) I love that they are being nice to one another, and I love those adoring, caring look he has for her, as well as those hopeful, complimenting look she has for him.
Another thing that I love is that the PXR and CXX seem to be getting along well behind the scene too. I love that he rushed to help her get off from the truck, took her and carried her. I think it is sweet that he cares for her (and she always looks shy aftereards). I hope they will get another wonderful project together soon.
Lots of love for everyone in this thread! Many thanks to especially @pad-hari @Erafera1 @ayang23 @nuttyz
(I missed several names as well, I think....but you know who you are! Thank you!!) The thread wont be the same without you people with your insights, videos and pictures!
Btw one of you said something about Legend of White Snake right? The main male lead is the one who played in Eternal Love (Ten Miles of Peach Blossom) as the female lead's nine-tailed fox brother. He didnt really aged, didnt he?

I have just watched ep 52 and I think it is well deserved. Surprisingly, I dont consider it so heartbreaking. (SPOILER ALERT)
The last scene goes like this: LCY set on a one way trip to bring back what was lost, leaving everything behind, and with a glimpse of young XF in red, looking from a distance.
I think it hints a good ending for both!
This is my interpretation to that ending:
LCY left everything behind in search for XF (all rugged, which signify that he cares no more about appearance to other people, unlike before, where he's always plotting for something and pretending. Now he is just...himself.).
XF is waiting for him, all in red, just like how they first met (she is free, wearing Xi state clothes which she is proud of)
I think at some point, LCY will die in his search (well, it is a desert, and he doesnt seem to be all equiped with camel, assistant, water, survival kit and stuff. He even seem to have only one clothes -the one he is wearing). He will die there in the desert and unite with XF finally (because it was depicted that she was waiting for him on the desert, looking at him)
I think it is all good.
Yes, she died. But at least she died knowing that the one she loves the most is alive, has his memory back, truly loves her, and will keep his promise to live on and lead a good life (and tormented, to pay for the heartbreak he caused her)
Yes, he felt heartbroken with her passing, and live a lonely life without XF. But it is well deserved indeed. Besides, they unite eventually (if not, they would just end the last scene with him walking on the desert, without having to show XF wearing red, sitting there, looking at him from a distance as if waiting for him!)
This is good enough for me. Besides, before, LCY did have a lot of debt to pay anyway: annihilation of Danchi tribe, locking XF in Li Empire, making her believe all those times that his heart belongs to someone else...to name a few.
Now all debts are settled, all promises have been kept, he is free to be with her, and be truly free and happy.
Side note, and not necessarily related to the story:
- CXX does have lovely hands. I dont really consider CXX as out-of-this-world- handsome though. But perhaps that is because I have a nephew who looks just like him. I was shocked when he finally took off his braces and looked somewhat like CXX. LOL) Hovever, I think PXR is also really really pretty. Dont you think so too?
- I think both CXX and PXR has done a great job for this drama! More than their looks, they acted really well and gave it their all. Love the cinematography as well. Good job.
- looking forward for PXR-CXX next collab!

I am way behind. I think the pictures are what I mostly love in this drama.
With all the sadness...
- Isnt it sad that you have to hide your feelings (pretend to be desperately in love with one, while acting cruel to the one you truly love, and making her cry blood all the time, and hence, hating (while loving) him?) Very confusing! ---> LCY
- Isnt it sad to love someone but seeing him being lovey dovey with another? ---> XF
- But it is also sad that you get to love someone your whole life, obsessed over him, only to realize that his love towards you is as fake as a wig. ---> SS
I think these sadness made me celebrate more on the eensy weensy scenes where our OTP shares the same screen and not yelling at each other ^^"
As for ideal ending...
I wish our OTP can free themselves from what binds them and start over. Reincarnation, perhaps. Unless both can forget about who they were, in what kind of family and surroundings they're from.

Omg the otp never consummated their wedding, is it? Anybody who read the novel @ohLIME @marinated_lemon can u please confirm this? What about those passionate kisses between the otp? Are they just eye-wash?
I have not read the novel, @pad-hari. But I believe the kisses should be real. I cant see why they're not. Another thing from LCY is that he does not force himself to others. He is a unique kind of villain/prince charming, isnt he. But perhaps that is because he truly cares for XF, but has to press on with the damn revenge.

Ok, I have better quality video preview for episodes 33 to 36
Awwwwww....this guy is not our usual prince charming, and not our usual villain as well. He is something else, isnt he? To think about how much it must have tormented him to act opposite of what his heart truly wants...it kills me.
This preview is a compilation of all LCY/XF sweet things, perhaps, but his interaction with XF is not like his interaction with other girls *sese, for instance. With XF, he is more playful, more carefree, more attentive as well. His eyes are always looking at her and he is always seem to be amused by her, even when she looks pissed.
If XF dies, I am sure that the one who is most tormented is LCY. Where else can he find someone like XF? She is the only one who gives him freedom to be himself, not Sese, not the queen, not his dad, not a single one. Well, perhaps Pei Zhao, but he is his subordinate.
I feel actually sad for LCY. The one he is imprisoning is actually himself, I think...in the name of revenge. He must have been so lonely, and even more so if XF is not around.

With a baby (moreover if it is a boy), she will solidify her position as future queen, and hence while she is not queen yet, she will be targeted by his enemies, and Sese's target of hatred.

@shihuangdi after jumping into the river of oblivion, she woke up with memory erased, and already in Eastern Palace. I assume he woke up before her, completely forgot about his time in Western State as Gu Xiao Wu.

[Mainland Chinese Drama 2020] The Romance of Tiger and Rose 传闻中的陈芊芊
in Mainland China
Posted
Whoah!
YX looks super hot with more defined makeup and longer hairstyle. From which drama is it?
Even the actor starring Pei Heng looks sooo much better in the slides.
Thank you for sharing this.
