Despite all the positive comments, there seems to be a concerted effort by a groups of people to bring down the ratings everytime it goes up.

Yes, I noticed that too. My only wish is that neither male nor female actors are bullied to constantly lose weight so the cameras make them more attractive. I don't find this attractive at all.

Just watching ep. 4 and am finding it hard to watch Ao Rui Pong out of costume. I hope his slender figure is not caused by enforced starvation due to demands of production team or the self-belief that this is a good look for heroes. If so, it's criminal; how could anyone endure the demands of making this type of action drama without proper nourishment that gives a person endurance and the physical strength needed.

There must be a determined set of people wanting to tank this drama. Don't let them.

How?

Ep. 2, those camera shots inside the corpse's body were great. Everybody except YanChi was grossed out. One cased closed. Now let's see who killed the headless bride.

Just started this after watching A Dream Within A Dream (great) and The Princess's Gambit (flawed) and it's already putting me off at the very outset. Just how long do arrows have to be to go through two bodies (Mom & Dad) and still stick out at eithe end for over two feet?

I've watched this to the end reluctantly, but at least the last few episodes were a little more action-packed. The middle was a draggy muddle. I liked the leads but the writers and director made it so they just couldn't get their romantic act together. Most of the supporting characters were well developed except for the sad sack of the Prince infatuated with the 'maid' who turned out to be evil and really annoying. The sand cave episode was the tense battle that was needed toward the end, but my ratings went down again when the drama chose to put him into suspended animation for a torturous time while we had to wait for the flower to bloom. BORING.

We should really ratched up ratings to 9 because it's outstanding and unique even in the time travel genre. This drama really did turn out to be a dream. Clever, funny and action-packed. The actors were all really enjoyable and the production was exceptional. Loved the soundtrack especially the various styles of music accompanying the fighting scenes in the last two episodes.

Look, the18th Prince is in a puddle and the7th Prince is spitting blood. If it gets much worse than it has already, I'll be in pieces - not just tears.

Just what I needed to hear. Maybe I should just skip 37/38 and go right to 39?

Episode 36 is too darn depressing. I need some relief from this storyline.

'Changing iconic scenes comes at a price' can certainly be said of many dramas. This one continues to be new and original. I've got five episodes to go and enjoying the journey.

Not good! Ep. 34 ends with a lot of question marks. The Screenwriter is throwing a wrench into a lovely drams. She needs to get Guihong to kill his fake father. Then they can just all write their own story for here on in.

Episode 31 was monumental. In the beginning where Nan Heng makes all her dreams come true is priceless. As a reward YiMeng lets it all hang out trying to make Nan Heng understand the premise of the situation they find themselves in. What's so great is that even though its all so farfetched he believes her and tries to get his head around how he can change the predetermined future. What a sweetheart I'm on team Nan Heng.

I'm enjoying Dream Within a Dream more because of the leads and the more uniqye and humorous story. I just twigged to the fact that the Emperor is played by the same actor in both. I guess because I've seen him in so many roles and that's why he looked familiar.

The seventh Prince might not hate his uncle's guts, but I do. i'm also tired of watching Yingming's fake outrage at not being in the loop. Most of all I hate GuiHong. His twisted, perverse persona is out of control. How is he still in power after torturing and faking evidence? Are there no consequences? I guess we'll have to see how closely they stick to the script.

The reason this drama is suffering in the ratings must be because the writers are totally not sticking to the characters that they initially created for us. Never in a million years would they not clarify the hairpin plot. This is sh*tty writing and they better get back on track soon.

I'm enjoying it a lot as I had missed the characters; have only done 6 episodes and already that 'brother' has thrown a wrench into the relationship so I'm frustrated that a broken jade hairpin can undermine this couple's future.

That was a touching moment when Qing Tai turned back to smile after Tao Hua sent her off to find the Prince. It felt very forbodding. Carving the exam question on a jade bracelet must have taken a while; selling it would have been worth a few gold tael. The rest of the episode was more maneuvering to find out who killed the Crown Prince and who left the lotus flower footprints everywhere.
