Dream To You: Hyeri Trades Her Camera for a Notepad — And It’s Breaking Her Character’s Heart

Some dreams don’t die. They just go quiet for fifteen years and wait for the right person to walk back in. That’s the emotional core of ENA’s upcoming rom-com “Dream to You,” and new stills just gave fans their first real look at the woman carrying that weight.

Dream To You: Meet Ju Yi Jae

Hyeri plays Ju Yi Jae, a reporter in her 30s who works simply to get by. Once, she dreamed of becoming a film director. Now she’s compromised with reality — until her old flame Woo Soo Bin, played by Hwang In Youp, returns as a genius director living out the exact future she once imagined for herself.

Why Hyeri’s Words Matter Here

Hyeri described the drama as one that “gives hope,” saying it’s the kind of project that makes people recall their childhood dreams and imagine them all over again. She noted that Yi Jae never fully lets go of her dream, even while living in a very different reality — and that her reunion with Soo Bin is what finally brings that dream back to the surface.
