Chen Shui Hua Yuan

This is a psychological drama. It can be confusing in the beginning as there are the main plot but also a numbers of sub plot!.

The main plot is the psychologist assistant/love expert blogger/FL, which ends up falling in love with her mentor/the psychologist/ the ML by the 12th episode. There are attractions from the ML by the 8th episode, but he is hot & cold with her, so she couldn't feel any love vibe from him!

3 couples with different love connections The 2nd couple becomes a couple is so sweet! Age is never an issue!

The 3rd couple, the proposal is also so sweet. Appearance is not everything!

The mysterious plot is where you keep guessing what the connection with Director Fan is and why he is interested in the main leads.

The subplots are interesting!

1. The missing GF of the FL. Stalker case 2. The obsessive & domineering boyfriend. Mental abusive case 3. Verbal abuse by the domineering mother. Stockholm Syndrome case.

4. A girl copycat the FL. Pathological behaviour case.

5. A man who has too many issues. Anxieties /Depression case.

6. 2nd FL has psychological attachment injury issue.

7. The ML accident. Trauma case.

8. Not admitting one's fault, shifting blame!

Just a comment: What's with the FL hair!

3 controlling & domineering moms!

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.

This is a high-quality psychological drama. The psychological aspect of this drama was expertly depicted. The details of the psychology profession seem realistic. The romance is not over the top or cheesy. These are rare qualities in today's c-dramas.

I really enjoy watching Simon Gong's dramas. He is one of the few actors who is not only good looking but also has excellent acting skills. He is a versatile actor, suitable for modern dramas and costume dramas. I especially like how his eye acting can convey emotion.

The cases depicted in the drama are realistic and are hot topics. Kudos to the script writer who did great research. I learned a few things from this drama.
