Just finished and I totally relate. The last drama that moved me was ADWAD. Still thinking about it. Time to check…
A dream within a dream. If you haven’t seen it and consider, just be forewarned it’s not a typical romance costume drama. It’s more satirical, comedic, and angsty. I there’s many real life references to events that happen to the ml actor, to human and societal behaviors and prejudices. It also plays on the many costume drama tropes.
Alright - finally boned the last three episodes and finished this drama.
My Final thoughts: This is a very romantic drama focused on the strong bond between two individuals. That’s it. Yes, there’s evil they must overcome but this really is just about their devotion. There’s lots of kissing and sacrificing for each other.
Main lead relationship is the main focus. Everything else fades in the background and does not develop much. This includes the plot which feels kind of surface level. There’s lots of sugary sweetness.
The visuals and costuming were rich and beautiful. The scenery in the mortal world was a feast for the eyes. I especially loved the palace scenery when they’re were on the bridge and the camera was angling upwards towards them.
This drama is perfect for those who love romance.
For those who may want a more engaging plot and development of other characters, this may leave you unsatisfied.
Was really excited in the beginning but sadly can't like this show as much as everyone. There's lots of skinship…

This actor has been playing more of these types of characters lately. For some reason when other actors play morally grey roles ( like WD in TBL) I sympathize w/ them. But his characters - meh.
So let me get this straight hour ML can cause earthquakes now? Looks like tomorrow. We have a lot of fun with…
Ok ok… so after scrolling a bit, I realize the grand reveal with the vase catching scene. I guess maybe the weakness is so bro keeps his guard down? But seems like all he dies is try to kill him.

Yea, I don’t get why older bro can get away with murder and cp cannot , unless that theory that cp is feigning weakness as a manipulation tool is true but I’m not convinced either. He’s been doing this like, his entire life. Just doesn’t seem realistic.
ML at his best. unlike the female general suspend belief ML acts like a wooden board drama (not a fan) Ryan Cheng…
Personally, I think he’s proven himself in the short dramas. Here, they’re offering the whole package - physical, emotional and intellectual. Not complaining here.
Yes, this is pretty fun to watch. Better than the other airing dramas for me.
For me it was A Dream Within A Dream. I enjoy how this doesn’t feel like a cookie cutter romance drama. The way they portrayed his kid form was awesome. He was so precocious it was hilarious.
