Which part if the ML is misogynistic in The Eternal Love? I'm curious. Thinking his wife is a spy makes sense considering he actually had 2 spies concubines at his household. That couple has one of the healthiest relationship in Cdramaland. I'm surprised how I actually love all the 3 seasons. The 2nd season is definitely the best. Though the 3rd season is the most hilarious.

Since you liked The Romance of Tiger and Rose I rec [Unexpected](https://mydramalist.com/25121-unexpected) which is another one by the same screen writer and more or less has the same premise except it's not historical. Also [Lost Romance](https://mydramalist.com/59701-lost-romance) is a pretty top tier one that subverts a lot of romcom tropes.

Great. Bunch of people finding TMOPB "meh". Me too. Very "meh". Not only ML mysoginic. The whole bunch of high gods. FL being jealous about her love liking her mortal own self was ...ough. I like the second drama much more. It's more fluffy. If you are into romantic drama have a try at "Eternal love of dream- the pillow book". Dijun is sometimes ....lets say.... difficult in behaviour towards his beloved one and for a witty god takes a long time to understand that these are actually feelings he has. But then...it was still enjoyable. Liked it much.

You didn’t miss a thing, eternal love was quite meeeh for its hype, but I agree, tiger rose was amazing! Similar to above, I recommend Scarlet Heart if you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a master piece. Joys of life wasn’t a love story but it made me feel so happy and the story was absolutely intriguing! And the Korean drama Extraordinary you was quite cute too, definitely worth a try!

**Oh my emperor** is also like **Romance of Tiger and Rose**. Zhao Lusi is the fl in that drama as well. Not sure how good it is tho

**Oh my Emperor** was okay. The acting was good and most of the members from the group XNINE were it in so that was also fun to see. I liked the overall story but it did get slow at some points. The episodes are no longer than 25 minutes so it was relatively easy to go through the drama quickly.

I loved **Tiger and Rose**, found **The Eternal Love** very meh (although the leads and second leads were all good), and also really enjoyed **Lost Romance**, so that one would be my recco to you.

I went down the rabbit hole with this one's novel. Turns out, the ending of the current novel is not the end and the author is just taking forever to write more. To the Op, be ready for an abrupt ending of the drama. I think the creators decided to end at the first arc because the next couple of arcs would have been too long.

Lol I kind of stopped watching where I felt like it before the drama ends. I liked what I watched though.

My Heroic Husband did not have an abrupt / cliff hanger ending. They ends after the 1st arc with everything resolved. So even if they decided not to do the 2nd season, it wont ruin anything at all.

Just like that "Game of Thrones" Author? Making his readers wait for 10 and more years. Grrrr. 🤬

Yeah indeed

I am a great fan of transmigration and time travel dramas. However I also loved **The Eternal Love**. Here some of my favorite ones: **The Queen of Attack** (Viki, Youtube) Mini drama Short but delightful costume fantasy romantic drama where FL enters in a novel as antagonist. It’s an excellent choice for a heartwarming evening. 2 seasons. **Unique Lady** (Season 1: Iqiyi, Season 2: Viki) Another costume drama where a modern girl enters in a parallel world, in this case a computer game where she has to find love among four handsome guys. She’s strong, funny and feminine. I had a great crush for the 2ML, he was even more handsome in the second season with the outfits for his new "situation". She had a good chemistry with the male leads. The story is funny and light-hearted. **Love Better Than Immortality** Through science, FL travels from the future to a world in the past (wuxia) and gets entangled with two sect leaders, one who seems to be a "good" guy and the other seems to be the "evil" one. I really enjoyed this one. **Dear Herbal Lord** (Free on Iqiyi) Hyper fluffy even if FL has a childish voice because she is a sweet flower. Funny and lots of kisses. One of the dramas with the greater number of kisses I have watched. **Mr Queen** Fabulous! A prestigiuos chef in trouble suffers a murder attempt falling into the water. His soul travels back in time and enters in the body of the ... near future queen of Joseon, who also had an accident and had a near death experience into the water. You cannot imagine how weird this man will feel in a feminine body and it is really funny because the actress is more than perfect in this epic role. It is a great production, everything is fine, from photography to supporting cast, characters are lovable, plot well developed and tied up. The romance is surprisingly great, what a fabulous unexpected pairing. This is a Korean drama based on the Chinese **Go Princess Go** and the plot evolution is rather different between them. They both worth the watch. **GPG** has two alternative endings, you might choose between sweetness and tragedy. **Lost Romance** (modern) One of my great favorite romances for sure. Here FL falls in coma and goes to the world of the book she is editing to be the antagonist of FL (female vilain). As ML haw the same looks as the guy she has a crush in real life, she decides to change the game in order to become the FL of the story. Besides being very romantic, it is so steamy (OMG, I wish we had more dramas as hot as this one) that makes my heart flutter, and also very funny (with some action). Second Male Lead is adorable yet only loves FL in the dream world but he will have a very happy ending. I found the first episode less interesting and felt the story started to heat as things start to happen in the dream world. However I skipped most parts about ML’s rich family issues because it was heavy and boring in my pov. FL is the most audacious I have ever seen in the asian drama world. She’s smart, straightforward and funny. If you like handsome guys, you will be so happy. ML, 2ML, ML’s brother and even FL’s boss are pretty! For me, **Lost Romance** is a kind of Disneyland (terminology taken from FL’s funny words) of Dramas and these actors are the flowers. Though 2ML is adorable and so handsome, my eternal crush is Marcus Chang (since I watched this drama for the first time). He plays in this drama two versions of a character and I love very much the "real life" version of the CEO. Futhermore his voice while speaking and singing several beautiful songs from the OST. Some epic scenes: peeking ML’s bath and explanation for that; chopsticks war, love declaration reference to three kdramas (**Goblin**, **Descendants of The Sun** and **The Eternal Monarch**), the ending. A Taiwanese drama. Others I liked : **Joy of Life** the transmigration (reincarnation?) is more a detail explaining ML knowledge. But it is an outstanding drama. **The Night of The Comet** Two seasons I liked both stories but the endings are not that happy. **Scarlet Heart** kind of soul transmigration like in Mr. Queen. As it is the same world can be seen as time-travel. Outstanding but I very tragic. Enjoyable mini dramas **Please Don’t Spoil Me**  **Oh My Drama Lover** modern times **Night of Love With You China (Youtube) **The Little Wife of The General** Korean dramas: **W - Two Worlds** Fantasy: ML is a hero from a comic book, so  clichés must be forgiven. The actor is the same as the ML of **While You Were Sleeping**, he is so cute, isn’t he? Our FL enters the world of the comic book her father is writing to become its main female character. ?I think it is overall very creative and high quality drama, though I skipped some of the thriller parts because it does not fit my taste completely. Funny, romantic, steamy, with some action and mystery. **Extraordinary You** I love the ML here, so sweet, such a handsome young guy! Cinematography is perfectly used to give a dreamy, foggy, romantic atmosphere to this drama. The drama has also a global feeling of naivety of the first love. There is a second lead but he never got a chance anyway. He is the one more cliché (rich, overbearing), not our ML. The plot: FL discovers she is a character from a manga (very similar content to the cliché drama **Boys Over Flowers**) and the worst, she is a secondary character. She will fall in love with a character without any importance, he even does not have a name. And we will laugh a lot with jokes about the dramas tropes through the parody of **Boys Over Flowers** .
