AnimeMania February 5, 2022 Share February 5, 2022 This is an eight, hour-long episode Sci-Fi Drama TV Series in Mandarin with English Subtitles, produced in Taiwan. Airing in August of 2020 on HBO Asia, the series makes its way to HBO Max in the United States on February 17. Set in the near future of Nan Wan City, Taiwan, “Dream Raider” features a misfit team of scientists and a cop that are trying to get to the bottom of a criminal conspiracy that exploits human consciousness using a technology that allows them to manipulate people by reading their brainwaves and manipulating their dreams. The series opens with detective Li Xiao (Weber Yang) investigating the mysterious circumstances of a girl’s death, that escalates into a missing girls case. Detective Li Xiao's investigation leads him to Dr. Tian-li Cheng (Jason Wang), who is a disgraced professor, 10 years into his prison sentence, who happens to be the creator of the mysterious cutting-edge dream raiding technology, which allows people to enter the dreamscapes of people to search for the truth. Detective Li Xiao wishes to read the mind of a girl in a coma and has to rope Dr. An-Ya Cheng (Ellen Wu), a neural engineering expert and daughter of Dr. Tian-li Cheng, into the endeavor to be successful. They work together using the "Dream Raider" technology to help Detective Li Xiao solve several cases. The dreamscapes vary, matching the personality of the person whose "dreams" are being "raided". This can sometimes cause the dreamscapes to become quite surreal. We also get to explore the emotional issues of Detective Li Xiao as he navigates the joint custody of his daughter with his divorced wife.
