I've finished watching.
My review is here https://kisskh.at/profile/11598319/review/471984
It's 10 out of 10

Me too.
For me, the story was 10/10, I've enjoyed all other things, too, but the story was... wow! I'll write the review later (I am still watching) and it will be my first time ever assigning 10 points to a drama.

well done for a week ago! 😂👌

No. It's the FL who has the "plot armour", not the ML. It's the ML who must save her no matter what when she's in danger, not vice versa. It's one of the "rules" the Scriptwriter set which characters can't change.

The only reason why she plots the murder at this early stage is bc. she must get rid of the ML, he gave her an impossible task: to find out the forging method for resistant swords

the reason why she plots the murder with CGH and LSL is bc. she must get rid of the ML because he gave her an impossible task: to find out the forging method for resistant swords

Yup, details are disseminated all over as clues, just asking "pick me, pick me" 😂
How will we define such details, lol?

A perfect summary.
If I were to add smth:

The scriptwriter who insisting all the iconic scenes to happen so he can go back to modern world AND BECOME TOP-TIER screenwriter. With all the nonsensical garbage he wrote, with his divine (/unhuman) role and rules... 😂
VS
SYM who doesn't want to leave the script world and NH who won't let her go back to her world BECAUSE: 1. IN "HIS" WORLD THEY'VE ALREADY CHANGED THE STORY AND CAN BE MASTERS OF THEIR DESTINY 2. "HER" WORLD IS WHICH IS FICTIONAL AS WELL
VS
CGH who denies to fix himself and refuses the good SML setting, bcs he wants to be the protagonist who conquer the world AND WILL GO UTTERLY CRAZY FOR NOT BEING THE MAIN LEAD

now if many other characters finding out about this script things too, it's gonna be a big showdown tomorrow: IT WILL BE AN OPEN REBELLION, LOL

I disagree, the script is brilliant, and the details are... I don't have the exact word for them. Details in this drama keep our brain constantly engaged, they complete and help to build up the story, keep us constantly intrigued and entertained with smth and there are like tons of these details so craftily put in the right place at the right moment (also as clues) which push you to rewatch the scenes and eps as they were asking from us not to miss them... Details are "brilliantly engaging", maybe that's the right wording

She told that after she clearly said: "we are husband and wife, I can't have secrets with him" to justify why NH knows the dude is the scriptwriter. Being married implies certain obligations (like not hiding important things) while having a boyfriend implies personal liking, love, satisfaction, sweetness, an intimate emotional bond she doesn't want to give up

Strangely, NH was even more pleased when heard her saying "boyfriend" than husband.

agree, I've dropped MM while I was still able to complete TPOB

yeah. The reset to an earlier point happened only when she invoked "God" saying she doesn't want to return to that world any more (after being poisoned).

100% agree.

If this all ends respecting the logics, characters and the audience, it will be the first time I'll rate 10 a drama! It deserves full marks already (for hundreds of reasons beside the story) but I'll wait to see if they messed up smth in the plot towards the end

or it re-sets in a modern time story?

I think I've figured it out: "a dream within a dream" is the STORY happening in fictional Jing setting written in the modern world STORY when a person (SHY) from the modern world STORY "transmigrated" into the former.
When she "was falling" in Jing, we've heard that same typing sound (sounds & tunes play a great role in this drama, the sounds are constructive elements to build up the story itself) we are used to hear every time an "iconic scene" is forcibly happening. I've called that sound "deus ex machina" (ancient Greek theatre was using mechanical devices producing sounds when representing a "divine intervention" in their plots. In broader sense, it also stands for a particular writing technique: when a writer uses one side story to tell or explain the main story).

So, both the actress SHY in modern story and SYM in the Jing script are fictional characters created by an author of both stories (both "dreams"), being both maneuvered by the same "divinity" (SYM calls the scriptwriter "a God" several times when trying to explain the role) who set the rules which govern the characters. The scriptwriter we've seen in the 1st ep and the one in lord Qianyu body is the author's alteroego/avatar, created to represent him in fictional world and interact or, at least, to challenge both the audience and the characters with their lack of human empathy. The horrible "iconic scenes" and messy script set aside, the first alter-ego (man with spectacles) challenged the taste of costume drama audience (for liking messy and over-the-top dramas) and the second (trasmigrated screenwriter) has zero respect for the characters he created. He apparently treats SYM as his "hometown person" but expects her to suffer (real) pain, to sacrifice her limbs and to die in Jing plot as to make her return to the modern story. Why would she do that? She is doing great in the Jing plot, living better as SYM than in the modern world fiction. And all other characters are doing great without any divine intervention, including crazy CGH who has chosen his path to demise by himself.
The final battle between the supposed "divine" (/ inhuman) and "human" (for how fictional) will definitely be smth memorable, imo

He said he tried to re-write it, but the characters were messing with the story he wrote...
The Scriptwriter obviously hides smth important (he mentioned 4 rules, but hid what was the 4th rule from the FL).
I remember we heard the typing sound when she transmigrated into the script, so her transmigration must have smth to do with him

Now, I'll be thinking till tomorrow about the "4th rule" Messy Man hid from SYM.
Any idea?

What are you talking about, she is so good in English! 😂😂😂🤦‍♀️

The Screenwriter is hilarious, absurd and creepy at the same time. Great acting!
Now, when we have the answer that major changes (such as WRC and Nightwalkers) in plotline occurred due to NH's own efforts and not because the Confusion Creator wrote those changes in a new script, the story continues on its own path, independently of this funny person who'll put all his efforts to mess with the story. Thus directly entertaining the audience.

I like this outfit the most! The second is LSL red-dark outfit (+hat)
