Great Short Drama!
Watched in iqiyi under the title "Not So Vicious." Great little short drama! Reminded me of The Princess Royal.Was this review helpful to you?
Adorable and funny
It was absolutely adorable! Memorable characters, a good story, and so soooo funny! It was a nice, light break from the heavier dramas. And I suddenly want a bunch of cute potato themed merch! Who knew they could make potatoes look so cute? I'm also wondering if there was an unannounced wet t-shirt contest because...DANG.For those who watch already, did you notice the photo shirt?? ❤️🤣

10/10
This one kept me guessing how it could possibly end until the very last episode. I loved it so much! I love how the characters were so strong and had their own goals, values, and loyalties that they weren't willing to compromise.Was this review helpful to you?
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!

Could have been great
This started out great: a fresh concept that was funny and interesting. Unfortunately, it fizzled out by the end.Was this review helpful to you?
"No Forgiveness No Remarriage" on iqiyi
Watched on iqiyi under the title "No Forgiveness No Remarriage."Bucking the revenge trope, this drama features a MC who is betrayed but takes revenge by walking away and living her best life. And I am totally here for it! As a domestic violence survivor, I really appreciated the healing and self-improvement aspects of this. Even faced with extreme injustice and cruelty, the MC doesn't sit there and take it, but she also doesn't stoop to their level. And the sweet love story is the cherry on top!

Kept me watching
It kept me watching and had some good twists and turns. But it was frustrating because at some point, the main character stopped being proactive and went all reactive instead. I like a good isekai as much as anybody else, but the whole sucked into a fantasy world, dies, and reborn felt forced and useless. I didn't feel any connection to the character in the modern world, so that nixed any efftect an ending for that character would have.This poor actress... Is she going to be stuck playing emotionally stunted characters her whole life? She does a great job, but the lack of/snail pace character development in the emotional department got old.
I didn't know I could like the ML in something more than The Princess Royal, but he was spectacular in this!

Cute and funny
Cute and funny. A nice watch if you're looking for something quick and entertaining. Kim Young Kwang was good in this role (as always) but it wasn't a great as him in Trigger or his special appearance in The Haunted Palace. Is it wrong that I like him better as a villain?Was this review helpful to you?
Funniest thing I've seen in ages!
Funniest thing I've seen in ages! Had me laughing the whole time. So ridiculous and entertaining that I didn't care about plot holes or anything else. Just 100% pure fun!Watched on iqiyi under the title "Becoming the Internet Darling."

Nice, light, and surprising.
I like how this one strayed from the typical beauty transformation and focused on inner beauty and development. It went a completely different direction with the ending than I thought it would, and I loved how it turned out. I was frustrated with some of the characters and what seems to be their definition of an "affair," which I don't think was ever properly addressed. But there was good character growth all around (for the most part) despite a throwaway character or two who popped in for a bit. I HATED how they kept calling the FL an "old lady" or "old hag" when she wasn't even middle aged yet. But I guess in the film industry, you're overaged as soon as you're born.Was this review helpful to you?
Short and Flirty
Short but sweet. My ADHD was in super-hyper mode, and there weren't many dramas that could keep my attention. This one did, for the most part. Super flirty, interesting twist, and cute moments in a short drama that has a Sound of Music/Jane Eyre kind of governess to new mother kind of feel but with a 20s gangster twist. I really liked what they did with the other potential ML/gangster rival. I didn't see it coming but enjoyed it. The ending wrap up was nicely done (although darker than I imagined). However, the bonus ending scene was a weird and out of place. Were they trying to set up a sequel?Side note: The male lead looks straight out of an anime. How does anyone naturally have that face??

Cute and light
This was a cute one! The overall theme of being true to yourself and not being afraid to enjoy what you love was really good. The story was fun and ended strong, despite slowing down a lot during the last few episodes (I had to take a break before I wanted to see how it ended).Was this review helpful to you?
It was okay
It was okay. Not my usual watch. I liked that it dealt with some real life relationship issues that aren't usually discussed. But I didn't like the relationship dynamics of the main characters. She's too mean and he's too much of a doormat. But there were some heartwarming parts and some comedy that made this enjoyable.Was this review helpful to you?
Awesome Korean Zorro!
Why didn't anybody tell me that there's a Korean Zorro?! I had so much fun watching this one (after the first few slooooow episodes). Funny, great characters, and cool action. I would LOVE to see this one remade!I was a bit disappointed that the ending was so ambiguous, but still not bad. 9 put of 10 because of plot holes, unanswered questions, some important but underdeveloped characters, and the garbage romance plot lines.

So so
This, like many dramas, started great but fizzled out by the end. I loved the cast, the sets, costumes, and music were great, but the story just didn't completely deliver. I was completely onboard until around episode 36, then had trouble finishing it. The time travel/rebirth thing was underutilized and not explained well, and there were too many plot holes. That said, I did enjoy the side characters' stories and almost feel this might have done better in the format used in Perfect Match where each family member has a few episodes dedicated to telling their story. But, then again, that would undermine the whole time travel centric plot so...maybe not.Was this review helpful to you?
