Every time I thought this silly show couldn't get any dumber or more annoying, it proved it could.
I can't get more specific without ruining the plot - let's just say that the writers love their Noble Idiocy but can never quite nail the Noble part and end up only hitting the Idiocy.

It's a shame really because the premise is good, the acting is actually not bad (but the dubbing is atrocious) and the OTP have some nice moments of realistic cute. But the rest is just woeful and at a whopping 48 episodes it's a waste of time.

The biggest problem (apart from the endless Idiocy) is that the writers didn't actually know what to do with the dream-swapping and mostly used it for shallow diversions into lame romantic fantasies. There is a point in the plot where the ability of the leads to share dreams could have actually been used to enhance the plot. But in the end, it was just a conceit and not a well-utilised one.

By the end, this became one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Boring, bloated and pointless.
