A Dream within a Dream Episode 1 Reactions
Absolut great. The second half of the episode was the best i saw for a while. No, the best I saw ever.

This episode just sets up so don't expect anything exciting. Pay attention to Nan Heng's facial expressions. Also, if you are a fan of Liu Yu Ning you may find it funny that his character wears beads on his arm and plays with some as well. Something LYN does as well.

It's so entertaining!!!! I laughed so hard at the 'whirlwind' scene lol! It's so funny how she tried so hard to survive too XD

I watched many shorts about a FL complaining about some story, and suddenly they become the character in it. Instead of following the plot, they try hard to rewrite the story, but sometimes it can't be done easily.This is what is happening here. At least she has had many times to survive and go back in time, avoiding her character's death.

This was one of the best, funniest 1st episodes I've seen in a while. I was laughing so hard and feel like it will be even better on the rewatch because I know a lot of the jokes went over my head. The set up for this drama is wild, but so well done. I can't wait for more!

When I watched the first 30 mins of Ep 1, I found this drama is boring until FL dragged into the script, that's where the true story began.
