I felt all the emotions in this drama!

Wow, I hardly watch modern dramas (maybe I should start). This one was so cute, aggravating, exciting, sad and romantic. I felt all the emotions while watching this drama. I was up at 3am binge-watching this (even though I worked the following day LOL). I'm a fan of Dilireba & Deng Lun, and seen their later work, and will add this drama to the list of LOVES! - I scanned the comments under this drama, and found a lot of people DIDN'T like this drama, not sure why. I found myself skipping different parts around episode 43-45, but the rest of it. I liked it. I even liked that they had thrown in anime influences, as well as ancient/costume drama influences (in the dreams).

Story/Plot: I loved the plot that Qi Qi who is a silly/naive/crazy girl who was heartbroken, then starts obsessing over her "idol" Bo Hai. Qi Qi ends up signing up to be a participant in a sleep study, and her bracelet malfunctions allowing her to enter Bo Hai's dreams - where she shows off her imaginative side. Due to her obsession, she gives up her hard work of being a vet to pursue a career as a florist just to get closer to him. She is very personable and imaginative, compared to Bo Hai who is an introvert and awkward. Qi Qi has been trying to gain entrance as a florist to "Flower Plus" for three years, and has failed each time due to Bo Hai's friend Xin Yan (who has a crush on him). She ends up being hired as a salesperson, in which she shows off her skills and ends up being Bo Hai's assistant. The two somehow make it work because they slowly fall in (and out) of love with each other. This drama's "love story" was one of the best I've seen in a while. Qi Qi starts off as crazy fan girl, then backs off, but then slowly you see Bo Hai letting down his guard. Once the two begin "dating" it's SO CUTE. Every time they kissed in this drama, I couldn't help but cheese for Qi Qi! Of course, this drama also displayed a lot of heartbreak as well. Bo Hai had abandonment issues, and his enemy (Qi Qi's bestie Mo Nan) used this weakness to plot against him. Qi Qi ends being used as the sword that breaks Bo Hai and causes him to relive his trauma
Acting: I loved it. I thought Dilireba and Deng Lun pair-up was fantastic. Their kiss scenes were not as bland as other c-drama kiss scenes I've seen. I mean, I wish she gave this much effort with Vengo in Eternal Love 2! I love all of our supporting actors in here, even the minor support cast. Bo Hai's besties are a hoot, and I'm glad they end up falling for each other. Qi Qi's bestie Baoni and Mo Nan, I wish it mentioned if they got together or not. Qi Qi's parents are also so funny and a great comedic relief. Her mom is constantly gossiping with the neighbors, and always trying to find Qi Qi a rich man. I love that they were also so welcoming to Mo Nan even after he was exposed as doing so many shiesty things.

Overall, I'd watch this again. I really liked the scenes between Dilireba and Deng Lun, especially after they fall for each other. It was so romantic and lovey-dovey. I want to see more dramas with them together!
