You are my dream

I'm not going to pretend like I haven't had some weird dreams, no. I've dreamt of some genuinely peculiar stuff, sitting on trees, dreams about crushing on someone, I've had ones with full storylines, sometimes better than a few dramas I've watched, lol.
Dreams are fascinating, and if your dreams tell you that your annoying childhood friend/ neighbour is your love interest, maybe you should take a chance, because you might end up discovering that it's a love you never realised even existed.

Such a brilliant concept they came up with, by the way, dreams and romance, because when you say fantasy, with or without it taking up too much screentime, the love story works. It could have been played into completely, or used a plot device for the romance, but either way, they set themselves up perfectly. I absolutely loved Ai and Yu's dynamics and chemistry, the gradual incline from being someone who annoys everything out of you to being someone you realise even with being annoying, is someone you want in your life forever. It's the slowest of slow burns, but never boring because you get to unpack some rather complex connections they have as a pair, having known each other since they were children.

But it was beautiful watching them become a romantic couple, it felt comforting and easy, how you want it to feel despite there being complications. The second couple were also great to watch, they had similar dynamics in some ways to Ai and Yu, but their love story was adorable as well.

In stark contrast, if you're watching this for the fantasy aspect.. it was quite underdeveloped, to say the least. Like I said before, this definitely worked as a romance, but the fantasy was merely a plot device to further the romance, it never felt like a plot of it's own. Even when they tried to flesh it out, it felt rushed and nothing more. But that's okay, it's alright, watch this as a romance and I can guarantee something great. Just don't expect much of the fantasy.

Even though at a point it felt like they could have concluded the story with fewer episodes, I enjoyed it throughout. A good story, a great set of characters, amazing couples and chemistry, I can't ask for more from a rom com, and as I finished, there was a feeling of satisfaction and that's saying a lot.
