In this week’s episode I sit down to review the Chinese drama “A Dream Within A Dream”, staring Li Yitong and Liu Yuning.

I had been looking forward to this one for a while, since I am a fan of both these actors, and although this drama was good in quite a few aspects (the satire comedy being one), it fell short in one big place. So tune in as I go through all the things I loved, and how I think this drama ultimately could’ve been so much more
