A Dream within a Dream is basically a story about love. The story begins with a girl who is reading about her role from a novel in which she is going to act. Suddenly, something happens, and she finds herself inside the story of the novel. She believes that everything that will happen is already written in the novel. In order to prevent her tragic end, she tries to avoid all the mistakes her character makes in the book. However, things don’t go the way she expects, and a new storyline unfolds.

At first, I felt a little bored because the initial episodes reminded me of other dramas with a similar setup. But as the story progressed, I became intrigued by both the storyline and the performances of the actors, especially the love story of the protagonists. I particularly liked the pairing of Nan Heng and his loyal soldier, Fu Gui, which also appeared in the drama The Prison of Beauty. Wang You Shuo is one of my favorite actors, so I felt a bit sad to see him play a negative role. Still, his performance was amazing.

My only issue was with the ending. I think they could have given it a better conclusion.
Overall, I enjoyed watching it.
