a unique premise with a slow burn
Overall: an intriguing premise but not a fan of the love rival aspect. I have not read the book this is based on and am reviewing the series on its own merits. 12 episodes about 45 minutes each. Airing on GagaOOLala (except: Thailand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Vietnam, Philippines) https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/4579/i-saw-you-in-my-dream-2024-e01 and WeTV https://wetv.vip/en/play/w52tycxawaajel4-I%20Saw%20You%20In%20My%20Dream/w4100e6rju9-EP0A%3A%20I%20Saw%20You%20In%20My%20Dream
Content Warnings: violence, blood, past death/grief, vomiting
Watch Suggestions (to skip some of the love rival stuff)
- watch episodes 1-5
- watch episode 6 14:30-14:45, then 22:45-40min
- watch episode 7 13:30-end
What I Liked
- their dynamic
- good that a character apologized and promised to tone it down
- supportive friends
- that 1 dream in episode 1
- sweet moments
Room For Improvement
- the character exposition dump to start the series
- comedy sound effects that detracted from the comedy
- bad that the parents brushed it off as no big deal when it had obviously been bothering Ai in ep 1
- continuing to prank Ai after what happened and Ai not telling Yu why he was really afraid of the dark for years
- cringey guitar playing
- love rival aspect went on too long
- too much blur filter
