Thanks for the hearty 'meal', real Ms. Screenwriter~✨
*phew* (*´▽｀*) . . . . .
Alright, so, I don't even know where to start cuz my heart's still pounding! I'll just go straight to the point. People, this drama [A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM] is a must-watch! You will find every element needed to create a perfect transmigration, historical Chinese drama in this one. Comedy? Drama? Romance? Classic C-drama cliches😏? You name it! The drama started with a BANG and held its momentum until the end. From everyone's costumes (literally ALL) to make-up and hairdos, I'll give it the highest marks possible. How can I not!? All the actors and actresses are dazzling and charismatic, and the aesthetics match them well. The OSTs, bgms, and sound effects are like no other - JUST AMAZING! MAGICAL!

All the actors and actresses nailed their roles! I instantly fell in love with the main leads, and I guarantee that their chemistry is top-tier. Not only them, but every single supporting cast member is memorable and unique. They all have distinctive traits. I suppose everyone who's watched already knew the brilliance of the drama's important cast members. Hence, I won't say much about them anymore. OH, but there's one. Our dear Fugui! I love him so much! He gives off this 'huge grumpy yet adorable puppy' vibe😆🤎, if you understand what I mean. Secondly, I give ALL the recognition to the Wanning River Crescent minions! 👏👏👏 They deserve full praise, truly. Don't they remind us of the pink soldiers from Squid Game? The main contrast between them is that the pink soldiers look CUTE but are DEADLY, while WRC-minions look DEADLY but are CUTE (つ≧▽≦)つ... Although we don't know how they look because they always have their masks on, we can see that they do act differently from each other, which makes them look humane, not just some one or two-dimensional beings drafted on paper. Last is Nan Rui, the goofy, happy-go-lucky 18th prince. I was annoyed by his actions and idiocracy in the earlier episodes, but he became one of my favourites later on; one of the most relatable characters, I'd say. I'll remember his iconic 'GYA-HA-HAH' laughs! ( ≧▽≦ )
Now, onto the villains. First, Chu Gui Hong. Boy, he rocked, and he acted exceptionally well in his first villain role! The emperor was unreasonably bad, but he changed later on. Realistically speaking, he should go through as much pain as Nan Heng did to be able to fully understand his son. Nan Heng was such a sweet son for him to be forgiven this easily, but I'll accept it cuz it's Nan Heng's choice. He was so elated to finally be accepted as family, poor guy🥺. Another villain I'd like to give credit to is Nan Heng's uncle. Despite his cruel nature and the distorted path he chose, he did care for his nephew in his own way. This may be an unpopular opinion, but in my POV, I do think Nan Heng (& NH's mom) holds a certain place in his heart.
The WHOLE premise is to be taken example for future transmigration dramas. I've had enough of those open endings (no need to mention the sad endings 🙄). Some dramas I want to compare with are [ROMANCE ON THE FARM] and [LOVE GAME IN EASTERN FANTASY]. Both of them are extremely entertaining, and I also love them. What only disappointed me was the ending scenes. Both dramas left the final moments to our imaginations, which doesn't sit right with me, and feels like there's still a lump (or hole, whatever ಠ‿ಠ) left in my heart; it doesn't feel satisfied enough. I mean, we wanna SEE WITH OUR EYES!!! We want to WITNESS the main leads' touching reunions BY OURSELVES! (ノಥ,_｣ಥ)ノ彡┻━┻
Therefore, to me, [A DREAM WITHIN A DREAM] sits at the top of the list. It lives up to its name and delivers the message they want to give to the audience with A SUPER, ULTRA HAPPY ENDING! -period-
