You have a little girl that can predict the future in her nightmares and a teacher who is a psychopath and finds herself having to help this little girl and the students in her class, even if reluctantly, since each dream normally concerns at least one of her students. But what makes this show so interesting is the mystery that surrounds each dream. As one would expect from a dream, things are not clear as water, and trying to find the meaning behind all symbolism and riddles keeps the mystery till the end of the episode.
But the mystery does not end in each episode. All the characters have a really intriguing personality and past story that will make you hooked. And here the acting is really important. I found Kitagawa’s acting to be the most memorable. Her character that started as a really cheerful teacher who was actually a pessimist unable to trust people suffered a drastic change in personality over the stories and she was really able to portray it. The little girl that played Yuiko also did a good job, although sometimes, especially in the beginning, I could not really feel her emotions, but maybe that was how it was supposed to be. Even Gackt, whom I had never seen in a drama, surprised me in a good way. The way I felt about his character changed so many times in the drama, and sometimes within the same episode, that I found myself confused. Well, at least the fact that you can drool at him never changes. :p
Even the ending left things really well wrapped up and you felt a sense of completion. However, I would not mind having at least a special, but I will not spoil that.
Overall this is really a heart-warming drama, with you feeling sympathy for the students themselves who all have a distinct personality, while also being a mystery drama that will always keep you wondering what will happen next. What else can they do to surprise you?

This drama starts out simple and then it takes a turn for the better you see the characters changing and even start to like the villians in the show.
In the plot there were several plot twists that were unexpected and kept me watching the whole series.
I would recommend this for EVERYONE.

good overall but repetitive after some time
As another reviewer has pointed out, the premise of this drama is refreshing. This is one of the plus points.Other plus points are, the acting of the cast was convincing, the OST was okay, though I don't think the OST affects the plot much, the chemistry of the leads is good, each episode is a story by itself so no need to follow what happens in the last episode and the ending is wrapped up well.
The only negative I have to say is though the premise of the drama is refreshing, it is repeated in every episode, the little girl sees a prophetic dream after she sees the person's sub-conscious mind through his/her eyes. This happens in every episode, only the person involved is different, hence the story and the actions required are different. At first it was exciting and I wanted to find out whether this person was bad or good, etc. but I became a little bored halfway through the drama because actions were kind of predictable. Even if the persons and stories are different, there is not much excitement after a while. There was a little climax at the end, to tie the loose knots, though and then everything ended well.
