I Saw You in My Dream (2024)

Sweet and Fluffy

This series is a light and fluffy comedy with a little bit of supernatural elements thrown in. It is not the most intellectual series I've watched, but it was nice to see a series that had more than a few normal looking people. Putter, playing Yu has redefined what handsomeness is. The character of Yu has unique features, but as the series progressed, I could see why Ai could fall in love with him.

I could have done without the ex-girlfriend but she in the source material, so I had to live with the unnecessary conflict this brought to the couple. A weakness of this story is, I feel that there were times I could not read their thoughts as well as I would have liked. I think that if I had access to a translated copy of the novel, it would have helped me understand the inner thoughts of the characters better.

I recommend this for people who like fluffy, not super deep or philosophical. The characters are like people I would be friends with in real life, so they were relatable to me.

It was an interesting dream.

I placed spoilers at the end of this review.

Overall, this was an enjoyable and interesting series. However, I am a sucker for series that have a supernatural/strange element to it. The script was good for the most part, but needed a little more tweaking and had some very weak aspects towards the end. My main complaint is key information was always misplaced which created some confusing, well for me at least. I recommend being patient because they do eventually reveal the information. The cast did a great job with their characters. I thought Putter did a great job making Yu a very likable character without him being a complete A-Hole. Ryu also did a great job making Ai appear innocent and loveable without being annoying. The cinematography was very good and did a great job keeping the consistency between the scenes involving the two different outcomes (dream version vs reality version) depending on Ai actions.

Random Note:

I went in with low expectations because this is a product of Dee Hup. Their series always seem incomplete and/or never fully hitting the mark at the end. I was very pleasantly surprised how good this series was. Apart from my main complaint and notes in the spoiler alert section, I would definitely rewatch this.

It was cute how they slipped in a quick nod to another Dee Hup series (Lovely Writer) which seems to be a running theme in their series.

If you are not going to show actors actually playing a sport, don’t bother including a match scene.

The English subtitles on GagaOOLala were good with the exception that it didn’t show English subtitles when printed content appears on screen a few times. GagaOOLala did not edit out the break credit between the episode sections.



********Spoiler Alert********

I liked that they kept the teasing aspect of the relationship to a minimum and ended it by the first episode.

Just a few examples about the misplace of information. One was the age difference between Ai and Yu. I was confused at first because I assumed that Ai and Yu were the same age. This was eventually cleared up later on, but this could have been addressed during the character introduction at the beginning of episode 1. Another was the relationship between the characters. I was a little confusing in the first episode because it introduced a lot of them without fully explaining who everyone was or their relationship between each other. They slowly give this information but they could have found a better way to do it.

Although it was a happy ending and I did enjoy it, it seemed rushed. Once again, they reveal a lot of key information at the very last minute.

Episode 10 came across as very random. I understand the main purpose was to introduce the treat Ice will play, but It could have been written better. It also had so many illogical things about it. If they knew a stalker was roaming around, why was the front door unlocked?

The script for episode 11 was the weakest out of this series. The entire storyline involving the slipping pills was not realistic. I understand they wanted to give a sense of urgency, but no one would have survived that amount of pills Ai used. Not to mention that you do not take medication prescribed to someone else. You also don’t take pills from an unmarked bottle. How did he even know it had sleeping medication?

Primeiras impressões

Pra começar fiquei um pouco confusa, pois quando vi a premissa logo pensei que fosse inimigos mesmo, assim como em "Bad buddy", mas ao ver que são amigos de infância me deixou um pouco chateada. Outra coisa que poderia ter sido melhor é a cena do carro que com a tela verde bastante óbvia tirou um pouco a imersão na história. Além disso, os ep poderiam facilmente ter 25/30 min, que não ficariam maçantes e ainda teriam um ótimo desenvolvimento.
Outro ponto muito importante que vale ressaltar para todas as séries BL tailandesas, e que vêm deixando a desejar é o fato de colocarem tantos filtros e efeitos nas cenas que deixam tudo com aparência branca quase como um sonho, principalmente na pele dos atores. É tão artificial que incomoda e deixa a série com aspecto amador.
No geral, a história é boa, com boa química entre os personagens e que deixam claro que sabem conversar e resolver suas divergências facilmente.
