I feel like every post of mine about Miss Rose is me talking to myself, since pretty much no one else is watching it since its not being subbed. Oh well, I do enjoy sharing secret little pleasures of mine with other drama lovers, though the inability to have flailing discussions for how much awesome this drama is does dampen my spirits just a smidge. Three episodes in, I can safely say this drama has broken out of its earlier similarities to Office Girls and shown that its focusing on the OTP romance much more than OG did. I loved OG, but the OTP of Xing Ren and Zi Qi lacked the passionate romance and instead subsisted on the cute sweetness to showcase their mutual maturation. In MR, neither Cheng Kuan and Si Yi are immature in the slightest, though she does tend to jump to conclusions and over-react while he’s a grumpy ass when he wants to be.
Since this couple is older, I love that they are falling for each other in much more self-aware ways and actually thinking about what it might mean in the long run. Si Yi doesn’t think Cheng Kuan is a possibility, and I bet Cheng Kuan asked VIvian what he means to her at the end of episode 3 because his recent interactions with Si Yi is leading him to question his path in life. Should he marry for his career, or perhaps love isn’t something out of his reach. Episode 4 looks to be chock full of OTP goodness and some burgeoning complications with Vivian start to arise. I love it, because the former makes this story so satisfying to watch, and the latter starts to raise the stakes all around.
Written preview for episode 4:
Cheng Kuan and Si Yi – the later it gets, the more beautiful it is?
The TV is showing a passionate kiss between the leading man and leading lady. Si Yi can’t help but replay her kiss with Cheng Kuan. There was no love…..there was no passion……just two lips lightly pressed together. A touch like this without any warmth, what does it mean?
In order to win the large government bid in an effort to save Guang Qiang, Si Yi and Cheng Kuan take a long distance trip to gather intel. The two of them overnight in the same hotel, what other pratfalls will befall them? Faced with the beautiful scenery of an aquarium, Si Yi and Cheng Kuan feel the romantic atmosphere around them. Si Yi awkwardly wearing her pajamas, Cheng Kuan sipping an apertif, the mood is very interesting.
The normally cold and reserved Cheng Kuan gradually lowers his barriers, but the increasingly closeness between them is interrupted by a phone call. The caller ID shows that its from Vivian. Cheng Kuan slowly presses the answer button, is a bomb about to drop on them?

You're not talking to yourself! I love your recaps and thoughts on Miss Rose. It's the only thing tiding me over until someone subs it eventually.

Miss Rose is Coming!!! Miss Rose is Coming!!! Oh yeah, I already said that below. Anyway, was that a Prius I saw him driving? Can I love this man any more? Now he's fuel-efficient?!?!?! They better start selling those stuffed manatees online STAT. Oh, Miss Koala. How can you think you are alone on this one? I am spazzing just from your recaps. I can't imagine what will happen once they start posting them on dramafever once a week.
Ms. Koala,
Thank you for all the "Miss Rose" posts. I love reading the recaps and any other information you share with us about the drama. How I wish it was available with English subs. Even without, I'm following the story and watching the episodes raw. Your recpas greatly help me better understand what is going on. Please keep sharing!!!
I have a questions though about the title "Miss Rose", what is it referring to? I know the title of most dramas will refer to something in the storyline or in regards to the main character(s). I was curious about the meaning of the title for this drama.
can you share where we can watch this raw?
ms. koala -- won't understand a word of this but dying to watch it. really appreciate your recaps. i miss roy!
I don't know Chinese but I think miss rose might come from her name "Luo si yi" because it sounds like rose. Ro (Luo) - Se (Si yi).
No, you are not alone Ms. Koala. I'm all over MR too. I'm waiting and counting down every single hour for the 4th ep. I'm so crazy about Mr. Qiu. This drama is really good in capturing the audience. Hehe...
Keep posting, I love every post of your of Roy Qiu and his dramas.
just curious as to where are people watching it without/that doesn't need subs? viki only has 1 ep

No, you are certianly not only talking to yourself. I enjoy all your posts about Miss Rose too. Although I can understand basic Mandarin oral conversation and read all Chinese subtitle, I still like to read your comments about the past episodes and like to check out all the previews. Although this is the first time I put comment on your page, I have followed your playground for almost two years. I like that you covers Asian drama from different regions. Since I don't have much time to watch drama, your playground has helped me greatly to find the best drama to watch... City Hall, Lie to Me, BBJX (books and TV), Office Girls, etc.... and now Miss Rose! Thanks.
Dramafever has Miss Rose listed as one of their upcoming dramas for english subs, yay!
My life is complete!! Hooray for Dramafever! ;)
Awesome news!!! :)
MISS ROSE IS COMING!!! MISS ROSE IS COMING!!! MISS ROSE IS COMING!!! I prayed to the dramagods that I would try to be a better person if someone would sub this drama. Now my prayers have been answered. I just saw it in the announcement on dramafever, too. And instead of looking at/for anything else, I came over to A Koala's Playground to share. The only reason I am NOT doing a jig right now is because I cannot type and do a jig at the same time. The only problem is that I promised the drama gods to try to be a better person. Sigh. The things I do for more drama.
Honestly if this show was being subbed I would check it out because I loved CH and this looks like it's right up my alley.
Still I do enjoy reading your recaps :)
You're not alone, I totally love reading your recaps on Miss Rose!! Can't wait until the drama actually get's subbed.
You're not alone, I check your recap/thoughts every episode after I watch the drama itself. I love a second opinion on an ep while its fresh in my mind
I understand chinese pretty well so i think i might start watching it soon. U wont be alone for long, missus koala!
