Wen Kexing stole the show. This role was so successful and popular because Gong Jun interpreted it very well and immersed himself in the role. WenKexing is a multi-faceted and complex character. How Gong Jun handled the switching between kindness and cruelty is spot-on. WenKexing is a classic role and will forever be in the hearts of the audience.

On the other hand, I am confused by the blank stare acting of Zhou Zishu. It is odd and illogical for an immoral former leader of an assassination organization to act like a saint after he left the organization. It is either due to poor script or poor acting. This character is a turn-off for me and therefore I couldn't give this drama a 10-star.

The psychological cases in Dream Garden are very interesting and are handled well . I found this drama very educational; after watching it I realized how easily people could be psychologically manipulated by the behavior of those closest to them. Those cases could have happened to any one of us!

Both Simon Gong and Bridgette Qiao are very good looking. The chemistry between these two main leads is great although it is not entirely a romance-focused drama. They look good as lovers.

Simon's portrayal of Lin Shen as a capable psychologist and university professor is very convincing. His acting is great and commendable.

I've read a few deceiving comments about poor acting of the main leads. They're NOT true! Those who criticized the main leads' acting and look are probably haters who haven't even properly watched the drama. Fortunately, I didn't give up on this drama because of those biased reviews (they are the minorities). I've watched 10 episodes and have enjoyed watching it so far because (1) the two main leads have great chemistry and good acting skills; (2) the fight scenes are swift and agile; (3) Gong Jun and Dilraba Dilmurat are very good looking for costume drama. I don't understand how some people can criticize them being "ugly". The main leads have excellently showcased their characters' charm.
