A Dream within a Dream Episode 25
0 people found this review helpful
Amastris Dratwka More than halfway through and I'm wondering, 'what is the actual point of her character?'Based on the original script before she got here, from her perspective, she is the focal point of the entire drama. Yet, isn't he the starring IDOL role with all the fame & glory while she's just a bit actress who they're giving an opportunity to because an IDOL actress wouldn't play second fiddle to his stardom? Has she lost this fact?As I recall, not going back to watch the beginning, there should only be 2 major scenes left: 1) his rise to power; 2) her untimely death.On one hand she's fighting tooth and nail to "change" her destiny. On the other hand she bad mouths, insults, schemes against, lies, deceives, doesn't trust him then rejects any of his good deeds as scheming himself basically because she believes HIS part of the story can never change. Then she calls him a 'hypocrite'. With the original fact that she's a bit actress playing opposite a STAR, how does she reconcile trying to cause him an untimely demise? Like, isn't this too rich?? She talks out of both sides of her mouth. Blaming him for being the never changing "villain" while believing she can fight 'destiny' and walk away from him. After 25 episodes, her double standards and pigheaded attitude just grate and get under my skin.So at this point, and based on the OG script, which should actually center around HIM since he is the Top Bill and the ACTUAL focal point, the only point I can see her character being is to actually be the MAIN villain who is just another person who never listens, falsely accuses and manipulates against him. She is the person, now, who CONSTANTLY hurts him the most. Open up old wound after old wound only to pour salt in it. She never endingly tells him how much she hates him and wants to kill him and for him to be dead.Then WHY in the world would she think, when he rises to power, quells all his past naysayers, that he would love, respect and keep her, the biggest naysayer of them all?? Wouldn't it be HIS ARC to win over them all, INCLUDING HER, and gain his true love and happiness?? Why would that include her??? She's a bitch!! lul.Lastly, this started out like a slapstick comedy. All the standard palace antics of scheming and murder were put under the arc of comedy. For the last 5-6 episodes, it has been far from funny. It all of a sudden moved from the main premise of the OG drama to an actual standard serious palace drama. Honestly, I already predicted this would happen because isn't the drama in a drama, dream in a dream a script ploy in itself? It's just a way to get around CCP censorship of reincarnation or time travel, right? So, you can always predict that after the first few episodes, the censors will be more lenient and allow the real story, the way it was supposed to be written would come out... which actually makes her character even worse.

BoyLoveFan I never thought I'd see an NC scene in aChinese BL. But I was completely blowaway by the love scene in this episode. It was amazing. Move over to Thailand China is in the house.

The M/M lead couple are very unique and different from most BL couples. Two tops have an origial dynamic. It's very refreshing to watch these two interesting people interact with each other.

estar Yai's mothers personal maid is right, from the sec Jom landed in their house, he's been creating one mess after another & his nonchalant attitude isn't helping anyone. everyone gotta follow him around, cleaning up his mess - he's like a big, retarded baby. & the fact that he held a grudge & hurt both Khamsaen & Fongkaew's past selves, cause of what their future incarnations did to him, was a b*tch move. also dragging out scenes, cause this retard can't react in normal time is doing my head in, i just fast forward scene where he is thinking or needs to reply/answer - dude is an utter moron. i was so freakin happy that Khamsaen was about to beat his ass, pity he was too dunk to do it right & Jom ended up handing his ass to him. really pity, cause i need someone to beat the living day lights out of him - just once. maybe that will restart his brain - yeah i really really dislike Jom! ***************************************************************************************************************************btw James is cute (remember the actor from Bad Buddy) but can't clock if he is interested in Jom romantically or cause he finds it curious that a servant can speak English. time will tell

is Jom "special"?!? cause the wide eyed look is giving that, that & his inability to talk/act/behave at a normal pace & i am wondering WTF Yai sees in him. guess the mystery of seeing him in the past, is the only attraction. cause as is, he not that specials looks wise & his personality is bland & kinda infuriating, what with the clueless behavior - i get he supposed to be shell shocked cause of waking up in the past etc... but cause of that, he needs to get with the program ASAP not just wander around & hope everyone else will be kind & do sh*t for him. heck Ming is going above & beyond, he is adorable for this, but Jom isn't deserving of all this consideration or kindness. yeah i don't like this dude at all ugh... the way things r going, feel i might drop this sooner rather then later - ********************************************************************************************************btw until now Jom didn't speak English (as it aint his mother-tongue) if it was, then whenever caught off guard he would say a word in it - but bumping into James made him speak in English - why?!? seriously i don't like this character he is infuriating & i find myself wanting to slap him across the head just to wake & shake him out this daze he is constantly in. cause of him i feel like not only Ming & his mother but a ton of other character's r gonna be in serious danger...aish!

Multilicus Propelled by very good performances of Dew and Off as well as expertly selected music we're launched into the unknown. Gun's performance was uneven, ranging from very strong to uncertain and weak, as if at times he wasn't sure how to play Jira. The story flowed so smoothly that I didn't notice the passage of time. Like in the official trailer, several shots in the episode felt wide and cinematic - a real joy to behold. Also, eyeliner Thor looked hot.

I really enjoyed seeing Watarai's side of things. Also had to rewatch several times from 21:29. Hiokis' little jump and quick talking was so adorable. The actor is doing such a great job portraying an overwhelmed shy person.

I watched it s good , It's described as a cheerful, lively romantic comedy that is an easy, fluffy, and generally harmless watch. It features a good amount of chemistry and heart-fluttering moments.

OMG this was such a wholesome ep - i couldn't stop smiling from start to finish - i love Hioki he is such a genuinely good person. little wonder Watarai fell for him. who wouldn't?!? such a sweet, sweet boy. the fact no one else noticed how charming & lovely Hioki is, until Watarai came along - is just shocking. Hioki is a gem of a character, a diamond in the rough **************but loved seeing the whole of the BL from Watarai's perspective. am also kinda shocked that the 4 guys just befriended each other at the start of the school semester. was sure they were childhood buds. *****************************************************also wondering who Ryoto, Morisaki's brother crush is - as he told Watarai they were in the same situation. that's also why he tried to help him in the previous ep. loving this!!!

NLE Can we pause for a moment and appreciate how incredibly sweet episode six was. It felt like watching two people quietly slip into love without even realising it was happening.FanXiao waited for ShuLang to finish work and pick him up. They held hands as they walked down the street, looking like a couple who had already chosen each other long before either of them said the words. There was something so gentle and tender in the way they moved together.During the painting session, FanXiao admitted he might lose everything. The fear in his voice was so raw. But ShuLang looked at him and said that he would not lose everything because he would still have him. He promised that if that day ever came, he would look after him. The way he said it felt like a vow. If that is not love then what is.FanXiao changed the house lock, replaced all the photos with their couple photos and stepped into the kitchen to cook. He did everything that someone does when they quietly start imagining a future. They were already living like a real couple and it was beautiful.When FanXiao accidentally spilled oil on himself, ShuLang immediately rushed over, kissed his hand gently and whispered that he had missed him. Their soft kitchen kiss after that felt so full of warmth. FanXiao saying he wanted to eat him first made the whole scene even sweeter.At the dining table, while holding hands, ShuLang called FanXiao babe and told him not to be jealous. It was so intimate and natural that all I could think was that they should just get married already.Then came the scene that completely broke me. ShuLang took FanXiao to his mother’s grave and said he had finally found the one. Man or woman it did not matter because he had found his soulmate, someone who treated him well and made him feel cherished. FanXiao stood there frozen, nervous and shaken, because at the beginning his intentions were never serious. He only wanted to play around without realising how deeply ShuLang loved him. Watching ShuLang shed tears in front of his mother’s grave because of him was heartbreaking. That moment alone felt like the emotional centre of the entire story.I keep hoping the plot will truly reflect the line that says FanXiao tries to entice ShuLang into a relationship only to fall for him for real. Because that is exactly what it feels like right now. And just like in Revenged Love, if ShuLang ever learns the truth, I know they will be torn apart for a while. But they love each other too deeply to stay separated. They would always find their way back because life without each other would be unbearable.

Fan Xiao is freakin obsessed with possessing Shu Lang, he wants to put him in a cage & not allow anyone else access to him. yet he also thinks he wants to use & then toss him aside(?) when he is done with him?!?? but the next sec he is concerned - non stop mentioning Shu Lang's ex & comparing himself to him?!?? when Zhen is long gone - a thing of the past, but he wont stop mentioning him. dude is certifiable.... ************************************************************************************************idk how his mind works & what he is thinking. does he really want a future with Shu Lang? or was that just a "story" he sold cause he wanted Shu Lang to fall for him & now that he has, what now?!? **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************on Shu Lang's part, i really love this character. he is so pure & good, but not fantastically so... he is very "normal" but in a good way (especially in comparison to Fan Xiao, the sociopath). also he doesn't play games, u can see how he feels cause he doesn't gaslight & he has fallen hard for Fan Xiao - which is so worrying to me, given how shady Fan Xiao is. not only that he might suddenly drop/treat him like he did Zhen. but the truth about how Fan Xiao was playing with Shu Lang's life from the sec they met, will come top light... i can only guess how devastated Shu Lang will be. *******************************************************he has had such a tough, solitary life (am sure even after the adoption he worked hard all alone to support his new family & kept the bullying to himself cause he didn't want to burned his mother), now that he thinks he has found a safe haven - it turning into sh*t might really break him. now that would be sad. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the brother & the bullies r at fault for the mother's death. btw i didn't get the logic - Shu Lang was outted & they tried to bully him. he graduated, but the bullies didn't?!? what?!?? & the mother should know better them to confront kids, go to the principle or the teacher. confronting other people's children no matter their age, is a stupid move IMO. *******************either way Shu Lang's not at fault & his brother is blaming him, cause he doesn't want to face the fact that he was a coward that lacked the strength (his gay brother had) to stand-up for himself & he ended up putting his mother in that situation. me in Shu Lang's stead, would tell him to kick rocks after 1st time. promise to dead mother be damned - sorry not sorry!
