Lin An Ruo Meng (2026)

A Whole Lot of Nothing

Reading the premise of show based on the synopsis I was intrigued enough to give this show a shot after a LONG dry spell of not watching mini dramas...

I was very dissapointed with what it delivered.

We are promised a story intertwining her dreams with his 10 lifetimes but what we GET is a couple of dreams... (one of which never is shown to be averted and one of which isn't even shown with her having HAD the dream) and the MLs 10th lifetime in action. What happened during ANY of the other lifetimes we have no idea because that's not important, just this final 10th one is... Is the ML trying to solve a mystery with this timeloop? Who knows... he certainly doesn't seem to be too concerned with the fact he's on his "last life".

Later, when the plot goes in the forgone path you KNOW it will go eventually, the story just waves it's hand and tries to make up a rules for what is happening on the screen. These actions and rules do not follow and logic and instead become a matter of "we wrote it this way and it's happening so JUST GO WITH IT".
I couldn't turn my brain off far enough.

Basically... the story is messy and asks you to overlook a lot of silliness for a plot they are playing straight. The romance goes from zero to 100 in whiplash speed but hey... they start making out so why complain right? (The funniest part for ME was when they tried to justify the romance being at 100 by showing flashbacks to scenes where she was NOT feeling romantic towards the ML at all but they were in the same frame so that counts... right?
