Sort of worth watching
(Paragraph “genre” has spoilers for ep1)Such a short drama that you could probably watch in a day. Watch it if u literally have nothing else to watch or actually want to. I managed to keep up with the story while doing something else.
Comments - Many comments claim that it’s bad quality, bad visuals, bad everything but I think it’s pretty good. We can’t really expect the best from a drama like this.
Duration - Its 28 episodes with the longest being 4 minutes long. They do range and can go down to 3 minutes.
Story - I’d say a classic storyline for quick dramas like this. 2 leads and a jealous female support that loves the male lead.
Visuals and acting - for a quick drama like this the visuals and acting is actually quite good. Their costumes, hair and hair accessories are nice.
Genre - The drama has romance with the first episode having a kissing scene. It’s pretty much a hate to love historical drama.
Music - I can’t rate it. I don’t think there was any.
Extras - The episodes might not match up directly and might be confusing. Just keep watching and it will make sense.
Overall - Worth watching it for people that want a short drama with average quality.
You can watch this drama on YouTube. Just search up “Floating dream chinese drama” and it will pop up by Soonsetra, who also has a link in the comments!
Happy watching! 💝

A drama I wouldn’t recommend watching…
(Paragraph comments and visuals + acting has spoilers/a little bit of info about of the female leads character.)A mini drama without rush but is extra slow. Just like the other reviews I’ve written, I’d say don’t add this to the top of your list unless you really want to watch it.
Comments - I do agree with some comments about the female lead being weak especially since she is a general plus the male lead finds out she is not a male within the first few days of meeting.
Duration - On YouTube, the 26 episodes are shortened to 7 episodes, each around 40 minutes instead of 10. A full version is around 4 hours.
Story - The mini drama is about love between a general and a musician. The whole drama was boring from the start with little going on. Around episode 10, the drama was really tiring to watch and I was going to drop it. However I’ve been writing the review as I was watching it so I had to finish it.
Visuals and acting - The visuals are average for a mini drama. I didn’t really like the outfits for the male actors except for a few but the females Hanfu are pretty.
Genre - There isn’t much to say about the genre. It’s just a historical romance with minimal love.
Music - I don’t know whether the drama has a theme song during the opening because it could have been cropped off. The YouTube channel cuts off some tune during the drama too although some is still there a few in other scenes.
Extras - For me, I felt like most of the drama was really cheap. Even though it’s a mini drama, there are some with better quality I’ve watched.
Overall - I wouldn’t recommend this drama unless you want a cheap and boring drama. It’s my opinion and it’s up to you to judge whether to watch it or not. If you’re planning on watching it, I’d recommend doing something at the same time.
I watched mine on YouTube. Search “Pavilion Secrets” and it will show up, by SENTV English | C-Drama. There is the option of episodes or full version.
Happy watching! 💝

Worth watching for some
(Paragraph “story” has a bit of spoilers but can be the story plot not mentioned by MDL)A short yet long drama that’s perfect for people who want a drama that is quick without the storyline being a rush.
Duration - Its 24 episodes with them being 13 minutes long like MDL says. Although one YouTube channel makes it 6 episodes with each around 40 minutes long.
Story - A storyline with obsessiveness in it. The male lead at first forces his adoptive sister to be his wife. There is a lot of unrequited love between the support roles which is a classic.
Visuals and acting - It’s pretty good and I don’t see any bad quality in it for a drama not that popular. The visuals are great and the female lead is really pretty.
Genre - It’s a historical romance drama with lots of obsessiveness from the male lead.
Music - There is a small OST to the drama but I can’t remember if it was played it often even though i watched it recently.
Overall - It’s worth watching for an unrushed storyline that is not too long or short. Not one I would recommend adding to the top of your list.
You can watch this drama on YouTube and bilibili. Search up “Once upon a dream chinese drama” and it will pop up!
Happy watching! 💝
