"Out of the dream" , destined to be together.

"Beijing Opera", "Chinese Plays" two people from different sides of the stage arts. The story gives us warmth as we watch the 30 episodes. A healing drama where both FL and ML are on equal footing , he's ready to let go of her even if it means the downfall of his play. A story highlighting the peking opera of china. Youngster's fighting for their dreams in the stage.
The acting was good and while they show us the play scenes and backstage where the cast and crew are watching It felt like I was watching a performance at my own school and was sneaking peeks at the backstage crew. It's a drama which you can watch if you want some kind of boost up while you're done or a good drama with good representation of a healthy relationship.

Time to wake up from dreams

Don't watch it for Peking Opera. It is merely a subplot rather than a central theme, to be honest disappointing in many regards. They managed to do more justice towards play than it.

I do have a major problem with the pacing of the story, it's a whole freaking mess. I don't know what was the purpose... they added too much. When you watch the very first episodes to expect a huge chunk of drama will revolve around the stage (clearly doesn't), in later episodes, it becomes a hopeless romantic comedy, in the middle English class(?), and towards the end melodrama (that arc is more frustrating and entertaining lol). So I've literally no idea what it was trying to claim, as other than romance nothing is consistent. They failed miserably in the execution, in some episodes nothing happens, regarding the progress of the story... and then the last episodes are stuffed with too much happening, soo many unnecessary incidents, the thing is due to having so much to explain, almost everything doesn't have a proper closure, even many important things.

It's beautiful... aesthetically pleasing to watch, the cinematography and color grading is done very well, some of few strong points of the drama lol. Visuals are great, you can just watch for eye candy and Yao Chi's long hair (That he looks so fine). OST is also pleasant, it was refreshing and going well with the theme.

Romance is one of few things I enjoyed in the drama, first, they look really good together, their interactions were cute-sweet-funny-entertaining. Also enjoyed development in the romance part. But the characterization is a bit off... FL isn't likable, she's rash, reckless.. it took me an eternity to warm up with her. On the opposite ML comes out to be very considerate, sometimes polar opposite to her. Though it's a bit better than the icy cold-stupid bubbly combo.

I fully enjoyed screentime of second couple... both were adorable and fun to watch. The last play was mesmerizing my most loved part of the whole drama. It would been lot better if story had some more parts like, then it won't be as mess as it has been.

I expected it to be something different, unusual and unique.. on contrary it was nothing but a love story... with everything as side plot, I'll recommend it, if you're finding something mediocre romance as if doesn't really offer much in the end.

I freaking love the poster, the first thing that made me to put this in my ptw... alas it doesn't serve justice to the poster (for me)

On side note... don't watch last 5 minutes of last episode if you don't want to wake up from dream.
