bom, mas podia ser melhor.

eu amo mini cdramas, mas acho que do meio pro final ficou muito morno, não deu pra entender muito bem algumas cenas, por ser rápido demais.

também não entendi o final, ficou aberto e agora não sei se vão continuar. Mas a premissa é boa. A história é contada de uma forma calma e apaixonante, os personagens são encantadores e a música combina demais.

é um daqueles dramas para um dia cansativo ou esfriar a cabeça, faz você sorrir e vibrar, mesmo que algumas partes de façam duvidar kkkk.

YES, I AM OBSSESSED WITH THIS DRAMA

Okay, let me just scream into the void real quick—I LOVED THIS DRAMA. Like, heart in a chokehold, brain twisted into a pretzel, emotions everywhere type of love.

This C-drama was absolutely insane in the best possible way. The story follows Lin Xian, a brilliant tech CEO who enters a dream world using this mind-blowing neurosurgical engine to try and save his fiancée Qing Wan, who fell into a coma after an accident. But plot twist? The dream isn’t just a dream—it’s a straight-up trap, a maze of lies, illusions, and psychological warfare. Reality blurs, trust vanishes, and nothing is what it seems.

💡 Why I loved it:

Mind-blowing concept. I’m a sucker for stories that make you question everything, and this drama made me doubt MY reality like... was I dreaming too?!

The dream world visuals were SO beautifully eerie. Soft lighting, glitched moments, subtle horror—it gave Black Mirror meets Inception but with a Chinese drama heart.

The emotional stakes. Lin Xian fighting for Qing Wan? Gave me chills. His desperation, his pain, his loyalty? Top-tier male lead behavior.

Smart writing & tight pacing. No draggy episodes, no filler fluff. Every scene mattered. Every plot twist hit like a truck.

That ending?? My soul hasn’t recovered. The last episodes were chef's kiss—tragic, deep, beautiful, and so satisfying.

If you like shows with psychological depth, dream-vs-reality mind games, and a romance that’ll make you cry into your blanket at 2AM... This World Is Not Real is a must-watch. Legit one of the best dramas I’ve seen this year.

😵‍💫 AND THAT PLOT TWIST AT THE END???

When it was revealed that Lin Xian himself was the one in a coma the whole time, and everything—Qing Wan’s world, the mission to save her, the enemies, the dreamscapes—was all inside his mind???
Yeah. I was GONE. Emotionally deceased. 💀🪦
I thought I was watching him save her… but the entire story flipped on its head in the final moments and I still haven’t recovered.

📢 YOUKU, I’M BEGGING YOU—WHERE IS SEASON 2?!
You can’t just hit me with that masterpiece of a twist and not follow up. I need answers. I need healing. I need more brain-melting dream sequences and emotional breakdowns.

Expected better

This series was quite a disappointment for me...
The cast of actors was well chosen, there can be no complaints about them. Even the story could be interesting, but the implementation is simply rubbish...
The story jumps back and forth in space and time, it is difficult to follow the plot... In some cases, it is not clear what is happening in the series.
