What Dream to You Is About
Dream to You tells the story of Woo Soo-bin (Hwang In-youp) and Joo Yi-jae (Lee Hyeri), two people who shared a dream of becoming filmmakers during their high school years. They fell in love while making films together and wrote an unfinished screenplay called “Gyeongseong Love Story”.
But when they were 19, Soo-bin suddenly left without explanation, breaking Yi-jae’s heart. The reason for his departure was later revealed to be his father’s pressure to abandon his filmmaking dreams and pursue a medical career.
Fifteen years later, Soo-bin returns to Korea as an award-winning film director who has achieved international success. Yi-jae, meanwhile, works as a reporter and has given up on her own dreams of becoming a filmmaker. The series explores their reunion and the second chance at love and dreams that follows.
