"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.

All you need to know about "Mysterious Love":

1. Great chemistry between the main leads. Their love is quite wholesome, also there's a fair share of fluffy moments
2. The plot isn't draggy and there's indeed some mystery around the antagonist
3. Flashbacks are a nice touch and complement the story just well
4. Side stories are done well. Compelling but do not drag the attention away.
5. The theme song is superb
6. 8 episodes x app. 30 minutes - perfect length for binge-watching

Characters:
I think the cast was well selected. The FL is cute, the ML is definitely dashing. They make the classic match. She's nice and trusting, but not a doormat. She believes the male lead but does not let him walk all over her. The ML does have his moments of love-duty hesitation, but is overall wholesome. There's a satisfying amount of fluffiness ;)
The secondary couple was ok. The antagonist did a nice job, too.

Story:
What is so "mysterious" about the story? 1. The way the leads met. 2. Who's the bad guy. Is there more than one? If yes, who is the mastermind? It's not god knows what, but it does keep your attention until the end.

Music:
The OST wasn't particularly memorable. But the theme song definitely did the job.

Rewatch value:
I'm giving it an eight only because of "the couple moments". (Again congratulations to Yilia Yu and Tsao Yu Ning for the nice job!)

The plot line was mediocre. The acting was nice and I especially liked the songs. The idea was good, but I think the producers could've done better. When I first read the summary, it sounded pretty nice. I guess I just had high expectations. There was not a drama whatsoever, there was no excitement. They just exchanged a few notes and that's it. What I most liked about the series is the supervisor's encouragement. The purpose of the supervisor is not to scold you or basically make your life hell. He should encourage you to do your best or to point out the weaknesses in your work and help you get over them/ help you improve. The series teach the value of moral support - whether it is your manager, your neighbour or roommate. That was the best part of it all. As I already said - I find the acting and the overall idea pretty nice, it was thoughtful, but a little underdeveloped. I do not think that I would rewatch it.
