Oh my goodness, this is really a great drama. The storyline was so believable because the actors/actress were all believable. I'm a fan of this drama and it will be a rewatch. The drama was absolutely surreal. Yang Yang did a great job directing this story! I applaud the team of A Dream of Splendor. The writer wrote a story and the right actors and actresses were in place. My first time watching Chen Xiao playing the character Gu Qian Fan. He was fantastic! I can't take my eyes off his eyes... it's like I can see his soul and passion in playing this character. Very handsome actor! I have to watch more of him. The main lead actress, Crystal Liu who played Zhao Pan Er, had me crying but what a strong character she played. It's my first time seeing her in a drama series... I need to watch more of her as well. The visuals, I loved the Martial Arts in the first half of the drama were awesome. Ada Liu and Jelly Lin were tough and I loved that about them. OMG, the DV abuse that was shown, had to be hard to play that role.
