What Happened in Dream to You Episode 2
Dream to You episode 2 reveals what kind of bond Soo-bin and Yi-jae shared when they were in school. While they started liking each other, what brought them closer was their shared interest in filmmaking. Yi-jae knew that Soo-bin liked making films and always encouraged him to continue what he enjoyed most, even if it meant going against his parents’ wishes.
However, everything falls apart when Soo-bin tells Yi-jae he is leaving for America to study medicine and brushes off their filmmaking dream as something that will eventually fade. Yi-jae was shattered and gave the script to him. The episode finally reveals why Yi-jae dislikes Soo-bin so much.
The production team shared that episode 2 would uncover the reason Ju Yi Jae calls Woo Soo Bin her regret. The secret behind their breakup 15 years ago finally starts to come out. New photos released by ENA before episode 2 suggested the relationship between the two characters would enter a more emotional phase.
What to Expect from Dream to You Episodes 3 and 4
The next two episodes of Dream to You will focus on how Yi-jae’s and Soo-bin’s relationship changes when they start working together. The preview shows Yi-jae being forced by her producer to meet Soo-bin and bring him back for a new show that she can host. This means episode 3 will focus on what happened after Yi-jae visited Soo-bin’s house.
The preview also shows them drinking together, with Yi-jae hugging Soo-bin and ending up under the same shower. At the same time, Ha-na and Yu-geon will get to know each other when the actress admits that she keeps thinking about him. Fans can expect fun moments in upcoming episodes 3 and 4 of the K-drama.
Dream to You Ratings Show Promising Growth
On July 14, Dream to You saw a slight increase in viewership for its second episode. According to Nielsen Korea, the show climbed to an average nationwide rating of 2.8 percent for the night — a small but encouraging sign for a newly launched series. While tvN’s “See You at Work Tomorrow” continues to lead with a stronger 4.4 percent rating, “Dream to You” holding steady and moving upward in just its second outing suggests audiences are warming up to the new pairing.
Hwang In-youp and Lee Hyeri bring distinct fanbases to the table — his from a string of popular romantic leads, hers from years as both an idol with Girl’s Day and a familiar face on Korean television. Romantic comedies in the Korean drama space often see their real growth in the weeks following premiere, as word-of-mouth and character chemistry take hold.
