A dream of Splendour started out as one of the best dramas .. it was smooth sailing and very pleasant and beautiful to watch. Constantly leaving a smile on one's face, and the sweet moment shared with FL and ML was quite a scene to watch. Flurries of excitements and peppered with intrigues were gold. Not only the romance between the ML and FL were great, but so was the love-hate relationship between the father and son. The three women and their strive to survive and make a mark in the male-dominated world were admirable.

Then came Ep 30 and thereafter things gets a little too exciting and a little bizarre and not to mention a little too repetitive not to mention several trope-y misunderstandings between the ML and FL. Somehow the father and son relationship was left unresolved, and wasn't clear if the father did try to have his son killed (Perhaps someone can clarify this point for me). I felt rather like hanging in midair where their relationship which started so good and full of sparks and dynamism, giving one a feeling like it's a supporting story to the drama, ended up completely flat.

From a rating of 9 dropped to 7.5 (feeling generous),.... What started out so full of promise then takes a nosedive towards the end. What a shame, it has joined the rank of the Dramas this year which started out great and ended on a low note. None of them is the actors' fault, which they did their part brilliantly, but the scripts and sometimes directions.

1. Autumn Ballad
2. Who Rules the World
3. Cry me a river of stars
4. A Dream of Splendour

Ending for a drama is so important as how you tie the knots.... if there is any loose ends then it's just a waste of an effort of what could be a very entertaining light-hearted drama.
