What Is “Dream to You” About?
“Dream to You” is a rom-com about the reunion of genius film director Woo Soo Bin, who returns after achieving his dreams, and reporter Joo Yi Jae, who has forgotten her own.
It’s the kind of premise that hits differently — not just a love story, but a story about rediscovering who you were before life got in the way. Two people, one shared dream, a decade of separation. If that doesn’t already have you reaching for tissues, wait until you meet the characters.
The production team commented: “The story follows two people who met at the end of their teenage years and fell in love for the first time. When they reunite in their 30s, they embark on a journey to achieve both their dreams and their love, bringing excitement and joy to viewers.”
Meet the Cast
Hwang In Youp showcases a wide range of charms as Woo Soo Bin, a film director who made a dazzling debut by sweeping international film festivals before returning to Korea to reunite with Joo Yi Jae, the woman who has always been his true dream.
Hyeri plays Joo Yi Jae, a reporter living with a sense of emptiness after colliding with the harsh realities of life. When she hears news of Woo Soo Bin, who once shared her dream of becoming a film director before leaving her behind, she begins to dream again of the aspiration she had long erased from her life. Hyeri brings the character to life with her signature bright energy.
The supporting cast adds even more flavour. Baek Sung Chul plays Shim Yoo Geon, a minor actor struggling to make it in Seoul while dreaming of becoming South Korea’s version of Takeshi Kaneshiro, while Lee Yul Eum stars as Oh Ha Na, a top actress who has lived in the spotlight since birth but has never had a dream of her own.
The Writer Pedigree — This Is a Big Deal
The drama is penned by writer Jung Eun Bi, who previously worked on “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God” and “Doom at Your Service.” Both are beloved K-drama classics with emotionally rich storytelling and unforgettable romantic tension. If you’ve watched either, you already know the bar this writer sets.
