People that have visions of the future through dreams and they try to stop them from coming true. This is just the surface synopsis there is so much more.
It takes me usually two - three episodes to determine rather I like a show. I was hooked by the first 20 minutes. Also first drama where I enjoyed all the plots and side charcters.

PROS:
🌜The acting range was just amazing especially in the second half! All of them from our leads to the flash back kid/teen actors. Just lovely to see such talent!

🌜The story is very orginal and new to me. I haven't seen a show or movie with this concept before. The twist, turns and layers were just wounderful.

🌜Cute, sweet and wholesome moments were just adorable! The selflessness of the characters towards eachother just beautiful! The friendship and love was so believable and I'm a sucker for friendship stories.

🌜The tough themes I think were done carefully and gracefully. This is something that is hard to do in stories, which I give a lot of credit to the writers and actors.

CONS:
🌜The bathroom/potty jokes!🙄 They really took me out of the story and were just so immature. Mostly found in the first half (episodes 2-7). I have been told this is common in Kdrama. The 2nd half gets more serious and the stakes are high and jokes drop.

🌜Some editing choices the flashbacks and dreams were hard to till apart at first. Then they fix it and make it more noticeable.

Rewatch? Yes
