Sweet Dreams (2018)

Every time I thought this silly show couldn't get any dumber or more annoying, it proved it could.
I can't get more specific without ruining the plot - let's just say that the writers love their Noble Idiocy but can never quite nail the Noble part and end up only hitting the Idiocy.

It's a shame really because the premise is good, the acting is actually not bad (but the dubbing is atrocious) and the OTP have some nice moments of realistic cute. But the rest is just woeful and at a whopping 48 episodes it's a waste of time.

The biggest problem (apart from the endless Idiocy) is that the writers didn't actually know what to do with the dream-swapping and mostly used it for shallow diversions into lame romantic fantasies. There is a point in the plot where the ability of the leads to share dreams could have actually been used to enhance the plot. But in the end, it was just a conceit and not a well-utilised one.

By the end, this became one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Boring, bloated and pointless.

messy at the end

At first, it was fun for 30 episodes. After that it became drama, drama2 and somehow romantic.
The story ends up easily at the end even they had good built up at first. The plot solving at the end was too easy and loosen.
Even the story was messy at the end, somehow I was quite addicted !! But I cannot rewatch this series. Actor and actress were shoulder of this series.

I don't really care about Ling Ling Qi's family at all, somehow its story was too long, but it somehow was important enough for Bo Hai to realize something.
bracelet has not much detailed at the end and they both really not talk seriously about it, so this fantasy is questionable and they even use it for clearing some problem or misunderstanding...

I really enjoyed watching the first half of this drama. The chemistry between Deng Lun and Dilraba in the first half is very good and it continues to be good throughout the drama. Dilraba's character here is so cute and funny and I like how she adores and loves Bo Hai (although in real life, stalking someone like that is never cute, but hey.. this is a drama series). I also like the dreams part in the first half (it sort of disappeared as their relationship progresses).

Fast forward to the second half..... I literally watched it with 1,5 speed so it goes faster. The story starts to drag. I don't like the Mo Nan story, the revenge part is not watchable and the cute and fluffy elements that I like is not there anymore. The ending is also confusing for me. It felt rushed and no explanation on how recovery can be flawless and felt like there's holes in the story on that part.

I would have given this a higher rating had it stop at a fewer episode. If you are a huge fan of Deng Lun and/or Dilraba, I would recommend you watch it, just for them (I might re-watch in the future but only the cute and fluffy scenes). Otherwise, just skip this one and find another drama to watch (or only watch the first half and skip to the end)

IDK

IDK how to put this in word this show isn't for everybody especially for me it wasn't my type of show I would go for. the ML and FL do have some chemistry but the entire story was fucked up like one minute they are in a relationship the next minutes they arent am like this is bullshit. The show was overdramatic over the drama. Don't get me wrong there are some good scenes especially the comedy scenes are hilarious to watch. Furthermore, the name of the drama should be something with flowers not "sweet dreams" because like maybe approximately 10 dreams the ML and FL had for each other but even in the dream there were flowers , the entire show saw around flowers she can enter his dreams isn't the main point it was all about him find out the truth about the fire that took place in his mom flower shop. Well th\ anyways the music was good

This was so painful to watch

All I can say is that I would rather never have a friend again if I had a “best friend” like Bonai. To have her watch QiQi be wrecked over and over and still think she loved MoHan the jackass? No thank you!! This was one of those shows that I just annoyingly felt like I had to finish, no matter how painful, because I had invested so much time into it. It hurt me soul. I pretty much wanted to punch every character and every script writer who thought it necessary to repeat the same revenge plan over and over and have everyone fall for it each and every time. This show just hurt my soul.

"Sweet dreams" - a melange of sweetness, meaningfulness and... wanna-pull-my-hair-off moments. The overall story was nice.
The positives:
-It represents flowers as a way of expression of emotions and feeling, combining the meaning of the plant with a certain situation from life.
-There are a lot cute couple moments.
-It presents a variety of relationships - with the parents, between friends, colleagues, neighbours, even enemies. It shows the loyalty in a friendship, the parents who will always stand behind their child's decisions, the eternal hatred, etc.
Cons:
-The story of the enemy unravels unnaturally - the story is unnecessarily prolonged.
-You'll want to bang Bo Hai's head (and not only his) against something hard due to his stubbornness and his playing hard to get.
A note: I still don't get how after so many dirty tricks pulled off in order to ruin the company... How in the name of God do they still have clients?
-The end was so dissatisfying. Honestly. I was willing to give 10/10 if it wasn't for the ending. It was happy, but wasn't well explained. On the one hand I didn't get how did things happen, on the other - it was just stupid (the couple lived-happily-ever-after moment was totally ruined by the previous scene). For the last ten minutes of the 48th episode I experienced all types of emotions - happy (like... it was going so well), then dude-I-have-a-feeling-this-crosswalk-scene-is-not-quite-right, depressed, disappointed, super irritated.
CONCLUSION:
It's nice to watch. In the beginning you'll thing Ling Ling Qi is a psycho, but it gets better. It is really satisfying to watch (excluding the final 10 minutes of the last episode). Prepare yourself for a lot of awww moments and a lot of drama.

well...i didn't like it nor did i hate it... it was one of those dramas which makes you want to stop watching halfway through but curiosity of how it will end encourages you to go further.... i personally find dilraba gorgeous but acting wise she still has a bit more room for improvement.. deng lun was amazing as always!! their relationship made me want to pull my hair out as well as coo and aww... i really liked the relationship between xin yan and chen mo.. they were adorable... there were quite a few unnecessary parts... i basically watched the whole drama on fast forward... overall, the cast, storyline, ost was pretty good... one time watch drama... 6.5/10
PS: it killed me every time i saw them destroying those beautiful flowers....

Everything was great, from the actors/cast, characters, acting, but the story of the whole thing was a bit off.
I mean, you already know who the enemy is, and yet the story continues as nothing happened. It starts to annoy me to the point I get bored watching so I have to always skip most scenes. It's like, rape me, I won't report or call the police on you. TF! LOL!
The main lead couple, they were cute. They have the chemistry, I like both of them. But I've never seen a drama this long that the main lead officially becomes a couple was already almost at the very end of the story. LOL! although they have a lot of interactions with each other, I still find it odd and bore the hell out of me. I'm sorry.

If you are a fan of Dilaraba Dilmurat or Deng Lun, I recommend watching this drama. They have great chemistry together and the romance is really cute. But if you aren't really fans of either of the actors, this drama may not be for you especially if you hate, tropes, cliches, and a ton of angst. For the most part I enjoyed the drama but it did seem to drag for the last 10 episodes or so. I will also add that the beginning is rather childish but after about the first 5 or 6 episodes that soon gets better. This is a drama with a ton of flaws but the actors make it worth watching if you are fans of them.

Bad and boring outweigths the good

I started watching this after getting hooked by Dilraba in Love Designer and YAMG. And at first I was hooked. The random comically overdone breakup in the first 5 Minutes had me loughing, and the dream sequences were just damn impressive, with acting, scenery, CGI and music all beeing top notch.
Outside the dream sequences the FL was not that great, they overdid the fangirl a bit to much. But it was still decently watchable as she dkisplyed no negativity or bad manners at all really, she was just friendly, naive and overly enthusiastic. The ML was a bit harsh at the beginning, but not to bad either. As for the side characters, they were really good through most of the show, especialy in the first 15 or so episodes.

After a while though, problems begann to settle in. The FL had some ups and downs, but was on an overall upwards path, with a bit to much whining and mood swings. But the ML did not improve at all. In fact, untill like episode 30 or so, he actively gets more annoying, needlessly secretive and outright malicious. Similarly some of the side characters improved from their already good start, but then went bsck down to below starting level, while some others went outright bad.

To top it off the dream sequences, which were a big enjoyment so far, tapered off nearly completely, and the IRL stories also kept getting pointlessly darker and overall also degraded in quality a lot. Both of these factors multiplied each other to degrade the quality even further.
The plot at the start had plenty of holes, apprupt changes and ilogical behaviour. But that was mpstly okay as the whole presentation with a not so serious tone, quirky characters and outright fantasy sequences in the dreams made that work. No one expects to much consistency or logical behaviour from characters that take a break at night to literally drop a whale from the sky to crush a dragon after all.
But as the story got darker, the dreams dissapeared and the overall tone became a lot more consitent and serious, the continuing amaunt of plotholes and illogical acting by the characters became more and more problematic.

As the story went on I became less and less interested untill I finally dropped the show. Partpy because the story went downhill fast, and partly because the amount of characters that became really stupid or dislikeable went up so much that I nearly ran out of characters that I actually cared about.
So what if the ML faces some crisis (which he AGAIN brought down on himself in part)? He was so much of an asshole to other characters that I jsut didn't give a damn if he came out okay or not. Similar for other characters.
