Hyeri and Hwang In-Youp's Dream To You is sweet, half-asleep rambling — fans can't agree if it ever wakes up

Dream to You concluded its run with a final episode, presenting a happy resolution that audiences expected from a romantic comedy. However, the final act fell short of expectations due to softened ratings and a divisive storyline. The narrative followed Woo Soo Bin (Hwang In-youp), a filmmaker who fulfilled the dream he once shared with Joo Yi Jae (Hyeri), and Yi Jae herself, a woman who abandoned that same dream.

The two had initially planned to become directors together during their school days, but life-altering events led them on separate journeys. Fifteen years later, they reunite, with Soo Bin now a successful director and Yi Jae working as a reporter. Their journey aimed to complete an unfinished film and a lost love story. The show's fans have been divided over the finale, with some arguing that the separation felt abrupt and contrived, while others praised Yi Jae's decision to prioritize her own ambitions.

The cast also included Baek Sung Chul, Lee Yul Eum, Park Ji Young, Jung Hae Kyun, Bang Eun Jin, and Lim Ki Hong. Directed by Yoo Sun Dong and written by Jung Eun Bi, the drama explored the themes of pursuing dreams and the emotional toll of love and ambition, even at the risk of losing what one held dear.
