So parts of Aranya's dream was too complex for me to understand just by reading it. Watching it play out is helping…
1 ) the events happened in the real world, after FJ leaves TC palace and before she goes to the mortal world. Someone told FJ they had found a way to repay the favor she owned DH. She had to send a shadow of herself to FV, where hopefully it would help DH’s shadow. However Aranya’s teacher ruined that plan and Arantxa died without giving DH’s shadow what he wanted most. So that person returned (thirty years later, after Aranya died) and told FJ Their plan had failed. So FJ went to the mortal realm to repay her debt there Instead. Her perseverance and self sacrifice impressed fate, so she and DH were given a slight chance to be together. 2) DH’ shadow created AD. Her soul had been destroyed so he created the dream as a way to restore it and bringing her back to life. However since she was a shadow, it did not work 2)
It's basically a retelling of the same story until they go to the mortal world. Things become different there and then the drama follows a very different story-line. I like it better than TM
The ratings dropped within 2 days, I'm planning to start watching this today . Is this worth watching?
Have you watched TMOPB? If you have watched that drama, then the beginning of this one is a bit weak, because it's basically a retelling of the other one up to the mortal realm arch, episode 21. If you have not watched TMOPB, then watch it from the beginning. If you have watched TMOPB, you should watch episodes 1-4 and skip to 19. However the plot and the story gets better and better with every episode. Most dramas get boring in the second and third arch, this one is the opposite. The story line is very strong and the leads' chemistry is amazing. Anyway, it has already 3 billion views in China and a rating of 9.3/10 - 1,535 votes in viki. Here the ranting is lower but less people have voted, only 299.
But the Aranya’s dream is where the majority of Dong Hua and Feng Jiu’s story will happen!
I skipped over the details, but I think she understood the main points for that arch. It's full of romantic moments between FJ/DH... and also DH finally understand how much FJ has suffered because of him.
Best is still to come, just wait for it. Ep 21 broke my heart but from there it got better and better and better...
I loved Aranya's dream, but it was the weeks after that I loved the most. They were so cute acting like a marriage couple. And I fell for DH all over again after he takes FJ's place for that event. His lack of face is awesome!! He is so shameless!!
Me too! I prefer FJ/DH as a couple although I also love YH/BQ. The mortal arch was a bit too long here, but I didn't like the first 10 episodes of TM either, not until BQ becomes Susu. Let's way for the ending. TMOPB's ending was too rush. I didn't like it. Hopefully PB will have a proper epilogue...

No, it is them. You have to watch it!! FJ is hurt when trying to steal the fruit so DH sends her soul to heal into Aranya's dream. FJ takes over Aranya's body, but she has all her memories and personality. DH takes pver Xize's body and he has all his memories and personality as well. The problem is... DH doesn't know Aranya is FJ, at first. He thinks FJ is a fetus and will be the daughter of one of Aranya's sisters... so he doesn't care for FJ and ignores her, even though Aranya and Xize are married in that world. Then, when DH discovers FJ is actually Aranya, he overhears her talk about a man whom she loved but who did not care for her at all. He realizes he hurt her very deeply, and decides to make FJ fell for him all over again... while she doesn't know he is DH. Meanwhile, FJ is determined to relive Aranya's life to find out who was to blame for her death.
In the past, it was Aranya's husband. Now it will be DH in disguised... but he won't know that Aranya is FJ at first... which will give way to misunderstandings...
Someone here said next week super vip members will have more episodes than everyone(I think like 6). How do we…
I'm asking the same question here!!! I saw the calendar and it seems the VVIP will finish watching the drama on March the 5th. Anybody knows when/where will those episodes be released...?
Yeah exactly! I myself prefer Fengjiu from Bai qian because of many reasons. Even though my personality is kinda…
I love your point. I have never considered it that way, but I think you are right. FJ is sillier and a lot less mature that BQ, which makes sense, since FJ is a teenager when BQ is in her mid thirties... but when it comes to it, FJ shows a greater inner strength than BQ. FJ shows that she is able AND willing to go on with her life without DH. She is strong enough to decide she will have her child and raise it by herself, even when the Phoenix gave her some herbs to abort. And she raises him wonderfully. On the other hand, BQ kills herself as SUSU... which maybe doesn't count, since it's not really her, but then she chooses to forget HER SON. And again, after YH seemingly dies, she abandons little Ali and spends her days dreaming of YH. FJ is a better mom than her. I love both characters. I think they are both flawed, realistic and wonderful, each with their own personality, their own strengths and weaknesses. I don't know why people pit them against each other.

It's super romantic and you have to watch it.
