Every good thing must come to an end. Sweet Dreams 一千零一夜 was a cute romance in spite of the onslaught of heartaches that threatened to put a damper on this journey. Episode 48 has aired last Monday, and I will try to make it short and sweet.

The complete 180 change in Bo Hai is remarkable. Do you remember back when Bo Hai was all business and no fun? In fact, I don’t remember him smiling often or at all prior to meeting Qi Qi. In this last episode, it is funny trying to see him fit himself into a narrow couch just so he can sleep next to her.

The hidden card is in their dreams. After going to dreamland, the couple discover a piece of evidence where Liu Ying Jie made cash transfers to Yun He. The embezzling scandal is relayed to the public and Liu Ying Jie goes on the run.

The company is saved. Everybody rejoices at the news. Bo Hai gives a heartfelt speech of gratitude and appreciation towards his employees and gives them time off to enjoy life.

Bao Ni finds love with Mo Nan. It seems that Qi Qi is not the only one who will get her happy ever after. Will they or won’t they?

Her Wish. His Plan. When Qi Qi finds a four leaf clover, she makes a wish to marry Bo Hai one day. Not knowing about her wish, Bo Hai tells Qi Qi that he needs to go back to work which upsets her especially after the speech he gave to the staff earlier. Little does she know that he has gone to get the ring that he secretly prepared. He starts getting sentimental over the phone and asks her to marry him. She asks where he is and he tells her to close her eyes.

The twist. As Bo Hai is crossing the street to surprise Qi Qi, Liu Ying Jie comes speeding and runs over Bo Hai.

Dead or alive? We see Xin Yi and Chen Mo leading the charge at Flower Plus with a new baby (Who knew, right?!). Qi Qi is walking along a bus stop where photos of Bo Hai are being taken down. We get the impression from Qi Qi that it has been awhile since the accident and that he’s probably dead.

The end. Qi Qi is approached by a child and is given a four leaf clover. The child walks along the street with a barrage of four leaf clovers and you know and she knows that something is up. A little boy approaches her and points her towards a place and she follows. She walks upon a flower shop, sees Bo Hai and runs to him.

Happily ever after. She ask if it’s a dream? He says don’t be silly, of course it’s real (I sure hope so!). He asks her to marry him and she accepts.
My two cents:
1. I thought the episode at the hospital ER where she was crying was a little overdrawn. It just went on too long. Moreover, the blood on her looked completely fake.

2. One thing that really stood out in the episode was when Qi Qi called a little boy fatty. I think the writer should have removed this because it does not set a good example especially since she didn’t know the kid.
3. I am not sure why they played the ending the way they did and didn’t show much of how Bo Hai was in the hospital. I guess it was for the big climactic ending but personally, I would have wanted some life or death drama at the hospital prior to the finale. This one felt like it was pulled out of thin air just to create drama, and it really seems like they killed Bo Hai off without really explaining how he managed to survive.
Overall, I enjoyed the show and I would watch it again. I initially was annoyed at Dilraba Dilmurat and thought she was trying hard to be cute but she eventually won me over here. Both Dilraba Dilmurat and Deng Lun were exceptionally entertaining to watch.
How did you like the ending?

When the car hit him I was so suprised that i started to laugh xD It became too sweet so car accident was what we needed. But seriously… terrible ending… without sense… Just proposal would be enough…
Unknown
I very much like your interpretation,
Even if that doesn’t happen to be the case… I sure hope it is,
It makes sense, if this is what happened then there will be a 2nd season perhaps.
I feel so heart broken��
A TV show should not be able to make someone so sad!!!
Since they have made so many sad it seems that they did a really good job at playing with our emotions!
I did love everything about it except for the end that has made feel. heartbroken

I hope they make a second season, he is still unconscious or in comma state now, they put the bracelet on him so Qi can meet with him in their dreams, that is why he proposes again and again at the end of each dream, notice in two different dreams he proposed to her, so I am looking forward to the second season…

Totally agree,the drama was overall very funny to watch with its unique story telling. Every episode was a great laugh for me, well of course there are some sad ones. But I felt like the last 3 episodes were too rushed . Especially when Bohai got hit by Liu Ying Jie car. The prodicer ahould have eloborate abit more here. And have a smoother ending rather than just skipping a year ahead ,Geess!!!
And yes agree did his colour blindless disappeared? Did he get his eye colour distinction back?

Loved the show but the ending was annoying.
Also it's bugging me did he get his colour back or not? What was he doing in Europe?
I mean he questions at the end, it definitely deserved a better ending
Unknown
What is wrong with Asian Cinema? They always have terrible endings! Gosh, will we ever get a clear and happy ending for once!

Wait so did he die or did they end up together??

The ending is open for interpretation but I call this kind of ending 'irresponsible', it's the kind of ending that spoils the whole show, one that the viewers and fans don't deserve. The show builds on QiQi's never give up to pursue Bo Hai and never give up on him spirit abd idea but in the end, what? It's not realistic that he would go away for a year and then back without telling her and ended up working at or owning such a small shop? Why didn't he go back to the company? The first thing that came to my mind was he's in a coma and they are dreaming via their bracelets, or he must be dead. The show builds up our hope, gives us such beautiful story telling but then throws away the entire concept in the last few minutes… Terrible

agreeeeee. the strong emotions unbalanced with soft sweet kisses for mid 20’s is unrealistic esp for a love-starved tormented mama’s boy…. n the mysterious time gap after accident treats audience as stupid! n driver should be heavily punished for murder was just treated in passing anyway he lived!

I feel like I wasted so much time watching this whole drama. Lol…goshhh. In ONE episode, the entire drama was thrown for a loop. I was so confused on whether Bo Hai was alive or was the ending a dream? The scene at the hospital with Qi Qi covered in blood was so dramatic, I kept looking at the time frame left in the episode and thought… SURELY there is not enough time to explain his condition in the hospital??? And in ONE episode, Chen Mo and the Director has a baby!!!! CLEARLY some time has lapsed since the accident, but then we jump straight into Bo Hai being at a small flower shop???? The ending was terrible. Just awful. That last episode was rushed and just crammed a year into that ending. Truly disappointed.

The ending are quite confussing..my opinion..
At ep43, after saying “where are you” at Bo Hai apartment, everything were just a dream till the ending.
Or maybe..
At ep45, after the ferry scene..everything were Qi Qi dreamed till she met Bo Hai again at that little shop..because Bo Hai clearly said that he dont want to come back to FlowerPlus and Bo Hai already said earlier if anything goes wrong he will set up The Soother..thats why at the ending, maybe in QiQi dream, everything went well with the FlowerPlus with Zhou n Chen took over the company after all the tribulance..other reason, everything that dreamed by QiQi will come true eventually..
Or Maybe..
After she took ferry..everything just a dream..in fact they both met again in real life at the small shop at the ending..and after that “proposal secene”, what ever happened between ep45-47 take place..
But please..this kind of ending make me shipped them more..but hoping the director or writer will never ever wrote this kind of ending at any drama again..ever..

Just finished watching this show and I’m so mad it hurts. I enjoyed the entire show from the beginning till that accident scene. I’m so confused. Was he in a coma for a while? Why was he in Europe? Why wasn’t Williams convicted of attempted murder? Why did he leave FlowerPlus? Why would the writers make a mess at the end?

The ending seems rushed, it does follow the typical c-drama script of character building controversies/adversities.
However they kinda brush off the corporate issue with a few lines.
The ending is abit of a mess because if jumps in and out of the dream. While the two friends of BuoHai had a baby, it would reflect at least a 1 year jump in time. The ER scene made everything seem like a dream, so while the bracelet was a key for the main character to meet with her love, should it be part of the end sequence, that it was all a dream. How does the president of a company go to UK for a year, then come back early to open a flower shop. The flower shop was something the two of them said they could open up in the future, which made everything seem more like this was a “sweet dream” scenario possibly created by the 4 leaf clover rather than reality.
They probably didn’t want to go the typical route, but didn’t want to leave it at his death, so they left it open, banking on the title as a reflection point, but it questionably done in a way fans dont get any satisfaction of closure.

I enjoyed most of it show! But i think it could have been done in 10 less episodes. I AGREE WITH YOU ALL ABOUT THE EP. 48 WHICH KILLED MY DESIRE TO WATCH SEASON2 If ever. THIS IS A ROMANTIC , COMEDY, NOT A MISTERY SERIES. VERY BAD ENDING.
Henrietta Smith
Totally agree with you there Emma…

I thought Bo-hai was dead and his girlfriend was dreaming about him. The ending of this TV drama was terrible. It was rushed and left many questions unanswered.

Watching in 2022 and liked it until ep48. Loss for words ! Annoying ending so confusing .. never rewatching
