The Crown Jewel of Chinese RomComs (thus far)!

What can I say about a Drama Series that I have rewatched (complete or certain scenes) more times than I like to count?

This Drama just clicked with me instantly. I am not even sure I can write an objective Review and I dont know If I even want to try it or simply go over to praise it as much as I can.

Lets do it this way, I will first say what I think may have been done better and/or was unable to keep up with the rest!

- the Music was good but nothing really Memorable. It is really no weakness but this series deserved better
- the second Leads were ....."disappointing". This is a hard one for me because I am not sure whether they fail to impress because of the Stellar performance of the Leads (more on that later) or if it was the Script or the Actors but they really could not make an impact on me. When rewatching, I often skip their scenes entirely.

So, now that we are done with that, lets get to the praises that this Drama so much deserves!

- the main Leads, both of them, were absolutely phenomenal. I have never seen such a great on (and off) screen Chemistry between two actors as with these two. Everything they do just makes click. I am not just talking of Romance, in fact its just a small part of their interaction but also their interaction in general. No matter if they fight, argue, flirt, hurt, protect each other, its always a delight to watch. Its just convincing and you dont doubt for a moment that those two fictional Characters could not fall for each other. It seems very natural.

- the Sidekicks deliver Comic Relief moments of the highest Quality. Sometimes they make you laugh with nothing more than face expressions or hand gestures and they are never over- or underpresent. They also provide great support for the Leads and make scenes with them all the more memorable, funny and touching.

- overall the Series has a great Cast (I mentioned the second Leads above but even they were at least "decent"). Although they could not keep up with the mains and their Sidekicks, their performances were solid and never really gave reason for complaints. The side Romance was a gift that kept giving and provided a nice and smooth experience to counter the wild and turbulent Romance of the mains.

- the Story is surprisingly brilliant even though somewhat "banal". Time Travel, Twists, Misunderstandings etc. are normally recipes for Disaster but it works great here. Mainly because there is some thought went into the Story and one can see it. The ways the female Lead is trying to navigate through the unexpected and strange predicament she finds herself in, might look ridiculous at first but when one thinks about it, especially from her point of view, it makes a lot of sense. The fact that it took her a while to accept her feelings for the male lead is no weakness but a strength in the Story, since a Situation where you are not sure whether your "real self" is in a Coma in "real life" and whether your actions in your Dream will have negative effects on your "real self" is quite serious and should not be simply brushed aside. Of course its not perfect and has plot holes but none of them real disturbed me or took me out of the experience in any way.

- the Ending is one of the best I have seen. It is done in a way that makes sense especially the reactions of the two leads in "real life" are what one would expect from two people who just had some "otherworldly" experience and trying to come to terms with it while still delivering a more than happy End.

Conclusion: This Drama introduced me into CDramas and boy did it set the Standards High. I am about to give up looking for another CDrama that can reach this level, it simply doesnt exist. This is an absolute Gem not just among CDramas but in Entertainment in General. Even other works of the main Leads failed to reach this level of greatness imo. If this Drama didnt strike your fancy....I am sorry for you because my enjoyment was off the roof!
