I am Sun Sanniang first and Fu Zifang's mother second...I do not need your permission. Did you forget? Your father divorced me long ago. Nobody in this world have the right to control my marriage, even if you're my son, you do not have the power...I finally understand now, a mother could be kind, but the son may not be filial...If I want the phoenix coronet and official robe, I will earn it myself I will not rely on you.

The brothers Zhi Jian and Zhi Mo are so funny.

The entire scene of Liu Yan taking care of a sick and unconscious Mu Zhuo Hua is absolutely hilarious, especially with the Zhi brothers. The three of them have no fucking clue what to do while Zhuo Hua’s sleep talking and reciting study notes in her sleep!

The brothers bursting in to protect Liu Yan as Mu Zhuo Hua’s clinging to his knee and sleep talking so they think they interrupted and are scramming out of there while in the screenshot below Liu Yan is going “no wait don’t leave me” LOL

Liu Yan trying and having trouble feeding Zhuo Hua medicine 😆

The Zhi brothers always coming in at the most awkward moments LOL

He’s like, please help me 😭

Younger Zhi bro pushing his big bro up to bat 😆

Zhuo Hua’s finally going to get her medicine. And throughout all this, she’s still sleep talking and reciting study notes in her sleep, which the older Zhi brother points out sounds a lot like she’s subtlety dissing Liu Yan. Liu Yan’s like, no, these are actual quotes she’s reciting. 😆

My Review of A Dream of Splendor / 梦华录

A Dream of Splendor tells the story of three women of mixed pasts who travel to the capital and open a teahouse. Zhao Pan’er (Liu Yifei) is a former courtesan with experience in the tea business, Song Yinzhang (Lin Yun) is a current courtesan and talented musician, and Sun Sanniang (Liu Yan) is a divorced woman with culinary talents. They are joined by the male lead, Gu Qianfan (Chen Xiao) who is an intelligence officer from a powerful family.

This is a woman-centric story. You see the ugliness of the patriarchy, but you also see women finding ways to protect themselves by helping each other. It’s nice to see this in an idol historical drama, because most idol historicals gloss over or even romanticize the historical gender dynamics.

However, the drama doesn’t live up to its marketing about female empowerment. The female lead is primarily empowered by the male lead, and the male lead is empowered by his father. Furthermore, the drama felt the need to purify the female lead by emphasizing her virginity?? As a former courtesan who later had a three-year-relationship with another man, there is no reason (and no need!) for her to be a virgin. In a drama that seeks to humanize an “impure” class of women, it feels deeply wrong to see this kind of purification.

Honestly, the writing was mediocre. The story is full of plot holes and absurdities. The storyline peaks very early, so there are large stretches of the plot that feel boring or poorly organized. And when the characters face problems, those problems get resolved by unrealistic solutions (or a man showing up to save the day) that don’t really challenge the characters or help them grow.

The level of acting within the cast is mixed. Chen Xiao is generally a pretty good actor, and while I don’t think this is his best performance, he’s still great to watch. Liu Yifei seems to have improved a bit, but her acting still isn’t great. She still struggles to convey complex emotions, and during moments when she’s being a bit more expressive, her gestures and reactions look quite unnatural. I was really impressed by Liu Yan’s acting, and I liked her character too. Meanwhile. Lin Yun is probably the weakest link.

That being said, Liu Yifei and Lin Yun are both very pretty so I guess it makes up a bit for the weak acting? The courtesan Zhang Hao Hao is beautiful too.

A note on the chemistry between Liu Yifei and Chen Xiao: honestly, Chen Xiao would have chemistry with a potato, so of course the chemistry here is good. But tbh I also watched Simmer Down recently, and I found Chen Xiao’s chemistry with Wang Xiaochen in Simmer Down to be better than his chemistry with Liu Yifei in A Dream of Splendor.... (And it sucks because Wang Xiaochen’s character in Simmer Down is a total dud lol)

The sets and filming locations are beautiful to look at. It’s not the same few locations that you see in every historical drama, so the change of scenery is nice.

Sloppy cinematography warning: the choice of shots seemed amateurish at times.

A Dream of Splendor was a drama that I had been patiently waiting for, but it ended up being a little disappointing. I do think it’s a pleasant drama if you approach it as an unserious idol historical. Its biggest strength is the nice visuals, from the people to the sets. The female friendships are lovely too. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have very good writing, nor does it deliver outstanding acting. But depending on what you care about, the visuals might be enough for you.
