O Conto da Rosa (2024)

I feel these two dramas kind of have a similar vibe to them, even if the storylines are a bit different. They have strong female characters, and good character developments.
Both of them touch upon obstacles in life, and delicately handles some societal norms and issues.

I would like to recommend queen of tears for all the wardrobe or costume related to the FL lead
You can view some of the story related to how the relationship too ?

It is a story of young men and women born in the 80s and 90s who meet in Beijing. Through their struggles in the metropolis, they hold on to their dreams and experience various tests in life, career, and love.

Born in a scholarly family, Huang Yi Mei grew up carefully sheltered, like a flower in a greenhouse. From a young age, she showed her talents in the arts and thrived after entering the workplace. From there, she meets Zhuang Guo Dong, and they fall in love. However, due to fate, the two are ultimately separated by the pressures of life. After undergoing this tumultuous period of both work and heartbreak, Huang Yi Mei grows and slowly understands the path she wants to take in life. Deciding to further her education, she goes back to school.

Portrait of a woman in 90s China, both are stories about personal development. In both stories FL has a husband who gets in the way of the FL’s ambitions and doesn’t “deserve” her and who gets to meet a soulmate, but in Xing Fu, unfortunately, FL does not divorce… sigh..

Both dramas portray FL as the main character that is career-oriented, girl-boss, smart, and quick-witted. "What If" might fell short, but you might like the storyline regardless.

The Tale of Rose is based on one woman who dates/marry different men through her life. Each man is drastically different from the last. All three of her men remind me of the husbands of each of the sisters in this show.

Both shows have similar pacing and the the youngest sister and the FL Rosie have the same stigma as being one of the beautiful girls around.

Yu Tong has a strong woman side that reminds me a lot of the lead of "TALE OF ROSE" more, the two dramas have in common the exploration of romantic relationships and its setbacks and a neat cinematography as well as the place of women in society/love.

Both are modern lifestyle romance dramas. Focusing on mindset of female leads.
Both got quite same vibe at least at start.
Tale of Rose changes its vibe and story direction through the drama since its like telling 20 years of female lead life.
