I liked the start of this series: it’s cute, it’s fun, it felt fresh.

But then, the main characters were so limited and the story moves away from the dreams plot that the series starts to crash. Qi Qi is childish, not very bright and whiny for basically the entire series. Bo Hai is not only an iceman, but he does some terrible things which makes it hard to root for him. This is not a couple that I care about.

The secondary characters are better fleshed out with more dimension and seem more capable of leading this story than the main characters. It’s rare that this happens for me, but there’s a lot of talent (and handsome) in this cast.

If this were 16 to 20 episodes, this series would have been a lot stronger. Instead, the story meanders to the high stakes world of floral espionage (I kid you not). The early story runs out of steam so we get that odd story line and a finale that makes no sense so there can be some additional drama.

The women should have been arrested for stalking

Honestly the only reason I could complete the entire show is because I am a Deng Lun fan. This show is full of negative Chinese female stereo types that we are supposed to find cute and funny. Perhaps if this had been a high school drama it would have been less annoying. The FL had the maturity of a five year old through most of the movie and all the women would have been arrested for stalking in the United States. One of them committed acts that had it been a male done to a female they would have been sent to prison but we are supposed to forgive her. The men tell them no but the women don't listen.

To all the DRAMA writers out there... NO means NO. If it's not acceptable for a man to do to a woman, it's not acceptable for a woman to do to a man.

I'm not going to go into other plot holes and disasters. I am mainly writing this for those of you who are parents... don't let your girls watch this.

Every time I thought this silly show couldn't get any dumber or more annoying, it proved it could.
I can't get more specific without ruining the plot - let's just say that the writers love their Noble Idiocy but can never quite nail the Noble part and end up only hitting the Idiocy.

It's a shame really because the premise is good, the acting is actually not bad (but the dubbing is atrocious) and the OTP have some nice moments of realistic cute. But the rest is just woeful and at a whopping 48 episodes it's a waste of time.

The biggest problem (apart from the endless Idiocy) is that the writers didn't actually know what to do with the dream-swapping and mostly used it for shallow diversions into lame romantic fantasies. There is a point in the plot where the ability of the leads to share dreams could have actually been used to enhance the plot. But in the end, it was just a conceit and not a well-utilised one.

By the end, this became one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Boring, bloated and pointless.

Just watch until about 15 episodes and can let go

LIKE

First 10 plus episodes were not too bad but the second half ruined the entire drama

Please don't write again and I realise one of the scriptwriters wrote Princess Wei Young - omg that drama I was also like --__--"

DISLIKE

Too lengthy with many unnecessary episodes which made me lost interest

MUSIC

Sweet but not to my liking

REWATCH VALUE

Don't waste your time

Unbearable to watch!!!

Situations on the plot on the business and romance department are way too forced... Awful.

Don't get me wrong I do enjoy fantasy/romance/comedy and teen stuff ... geez I had lots of fun watching 'Good morning call' but this drama tempers with one's patience.

The main actress (Dilraba Dilmurat) got my full attention therefore from now on I will stir far away of any work she does. Also, this drama even spoiled Deng Lun a bit ... Totally lost my interest in him, Ashes of Love was the luck shot!

The only good thing was seeing Chen Yi Long for the first time... really liked his performance and charisma.

Unfortunately when I start a drama I never drop it so it was painful!

IDK

IDK how to put this in word this show isn't for everybody especially for me it wasn't my type of show I would go for. the ML and FL do have some chemistry but the entire story was fucked up like one minute they are in a relationship the next minutes they arent am like this is bullshit. The show was overdramatic over the drama. Don't get me wrong there are some good scenes especially the comedy scenes are hilarious to watch. Furthermore, the name of the drama should be something with flowers not "sweet dreams" because like maybe approximately 10 dreams the ML and FL had for each other but even in the dream there were flowers , the entire show saw around flowers she can enter his dreams isn't the main point it was all about him find out the truth about the fire that took place in his mom flower shop. Well th\ anyways the music was good

This was so painful to watch

All I can say is that I would rather never have a friend again if I had a “best friend” like Bonai. To have her watch QiQi be wrecked over and over and still think she loved MoHan the jackass? No thank you!! This was one of those shows that I just annoyingly felt like I had to finish, no matter how painful, because I had invested so much time into it. It hurt me soul. I pretty much wanted to punch every character and every script writer who thought it necessary to repeat the same revenge plan over and over and have everyone fall for it each and every time. This show just hurt my soul.

If you are looking for a light romantic comedy without any complicated plot then this one is for you. I like the different plot it delivers, using dreams as main plot but sadly the dreams part didn't go all the way till the end. Episode wise, for me it's too long that it makes it feels draggy, i felt that some part is unnecessary and kind of repeated, if they skipped those part and packed all the good stuff in maybe a 30 to 35 episode i think it will be better. As for the cast, deng lun did a good job potraying his cold and slowly turning warm character, dilraba character development deserve a praise as well, all the supporting characters serve their purpose nicely. The chemistry between the main couple is believable, their sweet moments give you flutters and can't deny that they make a beautiful couple. The only reason i give this a 5 is because of the ending. It seems rush, unfinished, no proper closure for some character and definitely not satisfying at all considering the amount of time and patience you spend watching all 48 episode.

Long and redundant suffering of the FL

Well…
I watched it because of Dilraba, i think she’s such a natural…
It initially started fun and interesting to watch, the dreams, costumes, effects are good. the next few episodes sure they have to build s story why the ML is cold and aloof, but if it continue for almost half of the whole drama, it becomes so tiring and depressing to watch..
Only 15eps more to go but the love story of the ML and FL lead has not yet solidify… every character is chasing thier love. They should have change the title to “chasing love”
And the villain if just 😡
The ML and monan is too focused on thier hurts that they kepp hurting the person who love them 😤

Hoping for an improvement in the next few episodes, otherwise.. i’ll realy drop this..

Sweet Dreams was beautiful, impressed with the technical quality in terms of special effects and cinematography, the sets were beautiful, the mix between the real and the fantasy gave brilliance to the plot, the CGIs were great, I missed a more harmonious soundtrack, I found the acting super nice and the cast was professional, unfortunately Sweet Dreams had an end that particularly irritated me, I wanted to see something more pleasing, but unfortunately the drama did not close with the golden key.

messy at the end

At first, it was fun for 30 episodes. After that it became drama, drama2 and somehow romantic.
The story ends up easily at the end even they had good built up at first. The plot solving at the end was too easy and loosen.
Even the story was messy at the end, somehow I was quite addicted !! But I cannot rewatch this series. Actor and actress were shoulder of this series.

I don't really care about Ling Ling Qi's family at all, somehow its story was too long, but it somehow was important enough for Bo Hai to realize something.
bracelet has not much detailed at the end and they both really not talk seriously about it, so this fantasy is questionable and they even use it for clearing some problem or misunderstanding...

except for it’s length (which was too long for the storyline to be supported) this was the closest to a kdrama that I have seen in a cdrama. The opening credits and songs were creative and catchy, the humor and premise as well were much like a kdrama. The beginning dream setup did not follow through to the end, unfortunately. It ended up getting bogged down in corporate politics and revenge. which was *yawn*. Especially when the “bad guys” were sooooooo obvious in the beginning. With intense stares and stuttering lies. How could anyone even be fooled?!? They ended up being caricatures up to the end. The romance and cuteness is what saved this drama for me. But it could’ve been half the episodes and less corporate takeover for my satisfaction.
