What a journey we had with this drama, and its name does it justice: A Dream Within a Dream

Overall, I liked it. I think it was entertaining most of the time.
Something I highlight is the handling of hilarious comedy and black humor
This is an aspect that not everyone likes, but personally it is one of my favorite genres 👏
Liu Yuning, as always, does an excellent job. His role as Nang Heng has been my favorite of his so far, and I've become his number one fan ☝️
Li Yitong is an actress I saw for the first time in this drama.
In most aspects, I understood some of the decisions she made for the sake of the plot, and she had a very good growth almost towards the end something I liked 👏
Now for the negative:

I felt like it got a bit boring halfway through, and the constant misunderstandings between Yimeng and Nang Heng had me stressed out.
I think Nang Heng suffered so much that it looked absurd 🤷
Yimeng had a fixed obsession with Nang Heng's "supposed" evilness to the point where she looked silly and capricious when at times she looked intelligent and intriguing, which left me?
I admit that the ending was one of the best I've seen in terms of transmigration.
Although it is a striped genre, not all achieve harmony in this aspect and this drama at least achieved it ✨
I'm finishing my thread by recommending Dream Within a Dream if you want some dark comedy, hilarious situations, and a happy ending ✌️
