“Apparently, Divorce Papers Fix Everything... OMG, it's absurd!
I went into Dream to You with pretty low expectations, so honestly, I thought I couldn't be too disappointed.
Apparently, I was wrong. 😂
The biggest problem for me was the romance.
NO. NO. NO. CHEMISTRY. WHATSOEVER.
I kept waiting for it to happen. Even just a little spark. That look between two people who actually want each other. That feeling that makes you think, “Okay, I get why these two are in love.”
But… nothing.
It honestly felt like the two leads were acting like they were in love because the script told them they were supposed to be in love.
They said romantic things. They looked at each other. They had emotional conversations. They kissed.
And I was still sitting there thinking:
“Am I missing something?”
There was no tension between them. No real excitement. No natural pull toward each other. No butterflies. Nothing that made me believe they had this great, unforgettable love story.
They looked more like two people doing a very convincing impression of a couple than an actual couple.
And the more the drama tried to convince me that these two had this deep connection, the more obvious the lack of chemistry became.
I’m not blaming the actors. They both did what they could. But chemistry is one of those things you simply cannot manufacture. You can write a hundred romantic scenes, add beautiful music, slow the camera down, make them stare into each other's eyes for ten seconds...
If the spark isn't there, it's not there.
And unfortunately, for me, it wasn't there at all.
Then we get Woo Soo-bin's father.
What an absolutely horrible character. The physical abuse, manipulation, control and psychological damage he causes are disturbing, and Soo-bin carries that trauma throughout his life.
Which makes the ending even more baffling.
Because after everything this man did...
THE DIVORCE PAPERS.
That's it?!
😂😂😂
I genuinely thought I had missed something.
After all that abuse and suffering, the big consequence is basically:
“Here are your divorce papers. Goodbye.”
Seriously... WHAT was the writer thinking?
I kept waiting for some real accountability. Some consequence. Something.
Nope.
I thought I had missed an episode or something.
Nope
Divorce papers. THE END.
After spending so much time showing us how awful this man was, the drama basically says, “Well, they're divorced now, so problem solved!”
I'm sorry, but I actually laughed.
Not because it was funny.
Because at that point, what else was I supposed to do?
😂
The whole drama also suffers from way too much melodrama, trauma, crying, misunderstandings and sad music. There are some genuinely good ideas buried underneath all of it, but the execution left me more exhausted than emotionally moved.
I finished it thinking less “What a beautiful love story” and more:
“Well... I survived.”
Low expectations.
Still disappointed.
And I’m STILL thinking about those divorce papers.
DIVORCE PAPERS?! Seriously?! OMG.
And honestly, I’m left wondering what kind of message the writer is trying to send about abuse and trauma with an ending like this.
Because… really? 🤔🤔🤔
