When it comes to matters of the heart, Xiao Xiao believes she is something of an expert. The blogger behind a popular social media account which addresses all sorts of relationship issues, Xiao Xiao, has no shortage of experience when it comes to love. However, all of her experiences online can’t prepare her for her first encounter with Lin Shen, a professional psychological counselor, who sees the world in an entirely different way. After butting heads on a popular variety show, Xiao Xiao hoped that she would never have to deal with Lin Shen ever again. But fate, it would seem, had other plans. Hoping to improve her ability to analyze emotional problems by learning from a true professional, Xiao Xiao applies for a position as a professional psychologist’s assistant. Only too late does she realize that the professional she’s working for is none other than the cold-hearted Lin Shen. Despite their initial differences, the two come not only to respect each other but learn that by working together, they can help their clients overcome a number of serious problems. But will working together help them understand their own complicated feelings? (Source: Viki) Edit Translation

Best psychological drama seen in a while.
I started this drama with no expectations because I was wary of the psychological aspect not being handled well but holy moly was I proved wrong. In fact I started this expecting a cheesy romance as mango TV trailers all showed the romance aspect and once again I was proved wrong.In fact the romance in this drama is a background. Its a slow burn. Its irrelevant. Therefore fans of romance might need to be patient with this one.
The story happens at a psychologist firm with one of the leads as a co-owner. After a meeting with the fl ,they embark on solving several psychological cases that happen in our daily lives,to us and the people we might know.
They explore each case and resolve it with in episode per episode.
There are many stories that you will relate to and feel like this is dejavu. The stories are educational and the way they handle them is excellent.
Also the ML (Lin Shen) our psychologist uses hypnosis as major way to handle these cases. I don't know much about hypnosis so I can't tell you how accurate it is but I do love how cases are handled with sensitivity.
I'm one of those people who first didn't like the fl character but later learnt she is a minor flaw to the greater picture.
I highly recommend watching this because it might have a story and lesson for you. The romance between the main leads is a pleasant bonus.
Do not let the rating deter u. Many people are harsh to psychological dramas because they're not used to them & consider them boring when they're the most educational & always carry important messages.
Dream Garden is a must watch!
Dream Garden's pacing is excellent, making great use of every second of the run time for each case. The interactions and development of the interpersonal relationships is organic. I love that Lin Shen and Xiao Xiao get to know each other through working together and communicating step by step with no forced moments. Gong Jun's acting in particular is so natural and expressive, he leads the drama very well and has great chemistry with Qiao Xin. The theme songs and music used in the series sets the tone very nicely. I highly recommend this drama.
