I Saw You in My Dream

The premise is actually pretty fresh for a BL series and definitely has potential... but-keep reading.

I Saw You In My Dream follows Ai, a university student who starts having strange, intimate dreams about his childhood friend and neighbor, Yu. Weird enough, those dreams begin playing out in real life, leaving Ai confused and slowly catching feelings.

Ai He honestly looks tired of Yu's antics-and I don't blame him. Yu's been pranking him since they were kids. With all the dream stuff happening, it makes total sense that Ai's questioning everything.

Yu The older, playful neighbor. He used to have a girlfriend but they broke up. Deep down, he's clearly hurting, but tries to brush it off with his usual playful front.

Now for the overall vibe...

This show is definitely a slow burn-and maybe a bit too slow. Not much happens for a while aside from Ai constantly dreaming about Yu. The real intimate moments? They don't happen until episode 8. The plot mostly revolves around jealousy and a love triangle, plus Ing bottling up his feelings for Yo. It gets a little repetitive, which makes the story feel stretched and the writing a bit dull.

That said, the kisses and NC scenes were well done, and I appreciated the supportive, open-minded parents-that was a nice touch. The chemistry between the leads and their sweet moments helped keep it going. But honestly, watching it felt like forever because of all the filler scenes. It could've been stronger if they focused more on the important stuff and trimmed the excess.

Great cast, but the execution was just... okay. Like I said, there's potential here, but the repetitive plot kind of drags it down.

Would I recommend it? I won't say "don't watch it." Take a chance on the first few episodes and see how you feel.

This BL series falls into the supernatural genre which focusing more on the romance side. The plot is straight forward and not being dragged out too much. There are several little twists along the series, but nothing major. The acting was decent, for most actors anyway. The ending was also satisfying, so there's no need to worry about sad or bad ending. My only complaint is just that sometimes it's unclear if the events being shown to the audience were dreams or reality. And it makes the audience confused sometimes, at least until the main character wakes up. They should've made the dreams more obvious, that way no one will get confused.
