Não é ruim, mas não é um hit

Vou começar como começo a maioria das minhas reviews, dizendo primeiramente que não sou especialista, apenas alguém que gosta de dar opiniões.
Eu me apaixonei por essa série, sinceramente, não conseguia parar de assistir, terminei em três dias. Mas eu preciso reconhecer que existem problemas nela.
Eu AMO essa trope do falso casamento, então a premissa inicial não é nada novo, apenas um casamento por conveniência. Os primeiros episódios são bons, amo como o Lee Min Ki não é nada expressivo e como isso ajuda no humor. O desenvolvimento dos outros relacionamentos e da amizade das meninas foi um dos grandes motivos para continuar assistindo, porém, a única história secundária que gostei foi a de Woo Su-ji e o CEO Ma, a outra acaba ficando cansativa, além daquele episódio em que eles falam o desejo de casamento da Ho-rang que não foi bem explorado.
Aqueles episódios que incluem o desejo da prota de ter “algo a mais” com o Se-hee são horríveis, totalmente desnecessários. Também não gosto de como fizeram a separação deles, não que seja ruim, só não me pegou muito.
Apesar de seus defeitos, amei a história (mesmo não pensando em assistir de novo) e seus personagens, penso que valeu a pena assistir.

Obs: Sinto que muitos personagens foram desperdiçados, como o Bok-Nam, a ex do Se-hee e a Bo-Mi. O sentimento que ficou em mim é o de injustiça por essas personagens 😭😭

Very good acting couldn't save the tedious writing

This drama starts off strong. The story is interesting, the characters feel ambiguous and real. I didn't know what to believe and that's something I love in a crime drama. After about 8-9 episodes, watching got really tedious. They are running in circles, coming back to the same conclusions they had already come to before. The story suddenly becomes very predictable and the last 6 episodes were an absolute drag for me. It's not build up when the story falls flat in the middle of it, no matter whether or not everything gets wrapped up in a neat little bow at the end. I was really disappointed with this drama.

Probably the calmest and most beautiful drama I have ever watched

This drama is different from all the others I’ve seen so far. It’s calm, almost serene. The story develops naturally at a pace that is neither boring nor hurried.

What makes this drama especially interesting is that the story is shown rather than told. You have to pay attention, because there is very little exposition or explanation. Instead, the drama lets emotions, small moments, and the characters’ actions speak for themselves.

There are no fast cuts, and the scenes are long and almost tranquil. It’s relaxing and heartfelt, yet it still managed to make me shed a tears.

I highly recommend this drama. And make sure to watch the credit and post credit scenes.

I loved it

I have to confess: as someone who doesn't usually gravitate toward historical dramas, I didn't expect to enjoy it this much, but it completely surprised me. It was fun, engaging, and filled with humor alongside a thrilling, fascinating, and emotional plot.
What I loved most is the emotional depth of the story. The heart of the drama is the seemingly impossible conflict: knowing the leads can never truly be together as long as she is forced to live under a stolen identity as the Crown Prince. The thought that they cannot build a future together while she is trapped in a role forced upon her is truly heartbreaking. Throughout the entire series, I kept wondering how the story could possibly resolve this—how they could end up together, and how they could carry on knowing how deeply in love they were. Thankfully, the ending offers so much comfort and a wonderfully satisfying conclusion.
Beyond the romance, the series beautifully highlights core values of true friendship, loyalty, and deep trust. And the cast? Absolutely outstanding! Park Eun-bin delivers a masterclass performance in such a complex role, and Rowoon is not only stunning but also proves what an incredibly talented actor he is.
Personally, I found myself binge-watching this show every spare moment I had. Highly recommended for anyone who loves high-quality romance and compelling historical dramas

Easy binge but I have my issues

This was actually a pretty easy binge, the leads are good at their job, have nice chemistry and most characters are pretty okay to watch.

However the plot makes very little sense to me, how is wanting to marry a murder suspect less dramatic than maybe seeing ghosts? So whoever touches her sees ghosts for a month and then what? Its lite the trail period is over? And the heart transplant. Love that they made a male lead to be a transplantee without making him week, o making a too big of a deal of it but dude has no scare? has a cardiac arrest and just gets up? and meds? food restrictions? its like oh he had a heart transplant and then all was fixed... I also hate that they know who gave him the heart. But that said they delt with those parts okay towards the end.

And then comes granny, who is so obsessed with superstition I wanted to scream...

But then agin if you can look beyond all this its a decent romance with some moments of suspanc, cliches and highly predictability.

The Best Action Thriller I’ve Watched So Far

So far, out of all the action/thriller and psychological dramas I’ve watched, I think Vigilante is the one I enjoyed the most and probably my favorite in this genre.

I’m sure the drama has its flaws, but honestly, these genres sometimes start with a great premise and an interesting idea, only to lose themselves somewhere along the way or become repetitive and boring. Vigilante, however, surprised me.

I started it without any particular expectations, and after watching all 8 episodes, I can honestly say that there wasn’t a single episode that felt boring or slow to me. Some scenes might have felt excessive to some viewers, but personally, I think that was part of what made the drama work. It doesn’t shy away from showing a harsh and brutal reality.

The acting was excellent, the fight scenes were incredibly well done, and even the OST fits the drama perfectly and adds even more intensity to the atmosphere.

As for the ending, I actually liked that it was intentionally open-ended. It still has a clear meaning and doesn’t feel unfinished just for the sake of leaving room for another season, so I don’t have much to complain about there.

But what I appreciated the most is how much this drama makes you think. It makes you question things, come up with your own theories and, at times, even ask yourself difficult questions about justice, the law and what people are willing to do when they believe the system has failed them.

At least for me, a drama that manages to involve me this much is absolutely worth a 10.

watched it only to see Song Kang on my screen :)

The plot of this drama was kinda realistic, and even a bit sad at times. As a viewer, I found myself feeling empathy for Na-Bi, completely understanding and relating to the process of her falling in love.
In that sense, the show felt exceptionally realistic rather than depicting an impossible fairytale. Entering an informal relationship and unexpectedly developing deep feelings is something that happens to a lot of people in real life.
If there is a core lesson this show teaches, it is the fundamental need for honesty. It was clear from the beginning that both leads were drawn to each other, but all that was missing was simply being honest with one another about what they truly wanted. Regarding the ending—I would have loved to see a more detailed epilogue showing where they are a few years down the line and whether the relationship actually lasted. At the same time, perhaps leaving it open was for the best, as perfectly neat endings usually only happen in fairytales.
With that being said, i felt like this is not the greatest drama i've watched, I really don't like han so-hee's acting, she's giving me a Bella Swan vibes and i just can't stand it, I definitely watched it mainly thanks to Song Kang —but it wouldn't sit at the very top of my absolute must-watch list

So many emotions in one drama

It is an incredibly moving and heart-touching drama.
While there is a tiny romantic storyline, it is definitely not the main focus. The true heart of the series is the complex relationship between the mother and her son—a dynamic that was initially very painful to watch.
There were so many episodes that literally brought me to tears. But the beauty of this show is that as the story unfolds and you understand the reasons behind the mother's actions and their circumstances, everything makes complete, profound sense.
The actors give absolutely outstanding performances. Their acting is so convincing and powerful that it was extremely hard for me to step away from the screen, and I found myself staying up late into the night just to watch one more episode. The plot is surprising, captivating, and deeply layered. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, high-quality drama that really hits hard

J'ai aimé le voyage... beaucoup moins certains détours

Bon, je ne vais pas mentir, j'ai lancé "Dream to You" pour Hyeri et Hwang In-yeop avec l'envie de me faire une petite romance sympa... et finalement, j'ai plutôt bien accroché à cette petite histoire. 😅

L'histoire parle, d'I-Jae et Su-bin qui se connaissent depuis leur adolescence et partageaient à l'époque le même rêve de devenir producteur. Mais 10 ans plus tard, leurs chemins ont pris des directions complètement différentes... Lui a réussi à faire de son rêve une réalité en devenant réalisateur, tandis qu'elle est devenue journaliste et a laissé ses propres ambitions de côté.

Alors, j'ai trouvé qu'il y avait une bonne alchimie entre nos deux leads. ❤️ Ils ont des caractères assez différents et ne sont pas toujours sur la même longueur d'onde 😅, mais c'est justement ce qui rend leur dynamique intéressante.

D'ailleurs, côté romance, j'ai eu un petit coup de cœur pour Yu Geon et Ha Na 🥰. J'ai vraiment aimé voir leur relation évoluer petit à petit au fil du tournage. Même chose pour Seo In-uk et Sa-rang, leur histoire est plus mature, mais j'aurais aimé qu'elle soit plus développé et pas seulement là pour meubler quelques épisodes...

Côté casting, j'ai trouvé les acteurs plutôt bons dans leurs rôles. Personne ne cherche à voler la vedette aux autres et j'ai trouvé que chacun trouvait assez naturellement sa place dans cette petite histoire 👌🏻

J'ai également beaucoup apprécié la relation mère-fille entre Ha Na et Su Hui. Au début, je pensais vraiment qu'on allait avoir droit à la maman un peu garce" qui pousse sa fille à vivre ses propres rêves par procuration... mais finalement, pas si "garce" que je le pensais 🥹

Par contre, j'ai eu un peu plus de mal avec toute l'histoire familiale autour de notre ML... Ça tient la route, je ne vais pas dire le contraire, mais j'ai parfois eu cette impression qu'on avait ajouté une petite dose de drame parce qu'il fallait bien compliquer un peu les choses 😐. J'aurais préféré que cette partie soit amenée de manière plus subtile...

Et alors... I-Jae et son départ, parlons-en... 🤔 Jusque-là, je trouvais vraiment le personnage "good vibe", mais à ce moment-là, j'ai eu envie de lui dire : « Meuf... tu peux faire les deux !!! » 😂 Je comprends parfaitement le message derrière cette situation "aimer quelqu'un ne devrait pas nous obliger à abandonner nos propres rêves" mais j'ai trouvé la façon dont le drama amène les choses un peu forcée...

Surtout que je savais très bien qu'ils finiraient ensemble, donc son comportement m'a surtout donné l'impression d'un gros "caprice" qui permettait de rajouter encore un peu de drama... 😴 J'aurais préféré voir les deux personnages chercher une solution ensemble plutôt que de repartir dans le même schéma qu'au début, mais cette fois en inversant les rôles...

Et c'est finalement ce qui résume assez bien mon ressenti... j'ai aimé le voyage, mais certains détours étaient franchement dispensables 😬... Il y avait de bonnes idées, des personnages attachants et plusieurs relations que j'ai vraiment appréciées, mais certains éléments auraient mérité d'être davantage développés tandis que d'autres auraient pu être un peu moins poussés...

Au final, "Dream to You" reste une petite romance que j'ai pris plaisir à regarder. Ce n'est clairement pas le drama qui va me marquer pendant des années, mais j'ai apprécié l'alchimie de nos leads, les différentes romances et surtout cette jolie idée de retrouver les rêves qu'on avait laissés de côté en grandissant ✌🏻

Eu achei muito divertido. Foi um drama gostoso do começo ao fim. Apesar de ser fantasioso e ter toda essa questão de fantasmas, não é um drama assustador ou sombrio. É muito mais puxado para o emocional, pra uma questão de proteção, em que ela acaba sendo um suporte para ajudar nos casos junto com o promotor. Então, não tem aquele drama pesado, é uma história leve, divertida e que traz conforto, pelo menos foi assim pra mim.

Tem momentos muito engraçados e eu gostei muito da forma como a relação dos dois foi construída. Foi uma coisa tão legal e tão gostosa de acompanhar que, até mesmo quando eles tiveram as dificuldades por causa do término, não achei que tenha sido algo indelicado ou desnecessário. A gente consegue entender os motivos por trás das decisões. A Coreia tem uma cultura muito forte de levar em consideração a opinião dos mais velhos, principalmente quando o assunto é relacionamento e casamento, então dá para entender essa parte. Apesar de eu particularmente achar que isso não deveria pesar tanto, porque casamento é uma decisão muito forte e no fim, quem precisa estar bem com essa escolha é o casal. É claro que a família faz parte, mas acredito que o interesse maior deveria ser das duas pessoas envolvidas. Mas né?

De qualquer forma, achei um drama ótimo de acompanhar. O final foi bom porque conseguiu encaixar tudo sem precisar criar grandes coisas mirabolantes ou tensões que parecem durar anos. Talvez a única coisa que eu tenha sentido é que o antagonista sofreu pouco. Sinceramente, acho que ele merecia um pouquinho mais, porque em alguns momentos ele estava praticamente sendo um encosto, pior que fantasma!!!!

E acho que uma das mensagens do drama é justamente essa, que às vezes os vivos são muito mais assustadores do que os fantasmas. Porque um fantasma pode assustar, mas são as pessoas que podem realmente puxar o seu tapete por orgulho, obsessão ou interesses próprios e isso pode ser muito PIOR.

Mas tirando isso, eu morri de rir em vários episódios, mas acho que um dos momentos que mais me divertiu foi quando ele começou a ver fantasmas. Foi simplesmente surreal de engraçado.

No fim, acho que o drama conseguiu entregar uma combinação muito gostosa de comédia, romance e fantasia. E entregou a construção de um casal que se apoiou do começo ao fim, que se valorizou, se cuidou e não abandonou um ao outro. Eles realmente seguraram a mão um do outro, mesmo quando nem sempre podiam literalmente SEGURAR.

I wish I never watched it - just so I could watch it again for the first time

Wow, I loved this drama so much! This is such a cute and charming show, filled with the best kind of romantic and cheesy moments.
I personally LOVE this genre. It has that classic, nostalgic K-drama feel, but with a modern, funny, and lighthearted touch that makes it so enjoyable to watch. One of the best parts of the show is the incredible chemistry between the lead actors—it was so natural and captivating.
I binge-watched the entire series in such a short time because I just couldn't stop watching! Highly recommended for anyone who loves romance (especially work romance), comedy, and a good feel-good story.

Fluffy, weird, full of non-sequiturs but still fab ML and FL

Though the series got less and less spooky as it went on, I still enjoyed it all until the last episode which was OTT dripping with sentimentality, even for me. The script did not do justice to the FL's potential but she was excellent performing what she got. The ML had more opportunities to shine and that he did! A pleasure to watch just him in fact. Other members of the cast were fine too even though none of them really had a chance to develop some kind of arc.

A trip to Singapore in the middle for some strange reason had me wondering about how the film was funded, but there you go, the film industry worldwide, and K is no exception, take their handouts wherever and whenever.

There were some good truly suspenseful episode endings till about halfway through. My imagination ran riot wondering how things would resolve. I'm sure other viewers felt the same. A shame KDramas no longer get made as they are viewed, I think we could all help out the poor beleaguered writers.

In the end, it's the writing, not the directing, acting or photography, that prevents what ends up as a good series from being a great one. I get that KDramas are having to churn out a lot of content these days and I have no idea how the writers manage to do what they do. But something needs to be done to help them bring their work to fuller fruition.
