What is 'Dreaming of You' about?
'Dreaming of You' is an upcoming Korean drama about two people whose lives are linked despite being at very different stages.
The first main character is
Lee Jae
, a reporter whose story is told through three periods in her life – her teenage years, her 20s, and the present day as she turns 30. The second lead,
Su Bin
, is a film director, and his story also unfolds across these three stages.
The contrast in their stories lies in their growth. Lee Jae was full of spark and curiosity when she was younger, but by the time she turns 30, she finds herself stuck in a dull and monotonous life. Su Bin, on the other hand, spent most of his youth buried under other people's expectations. But later, he finds the courage to pursue the dream he always wanted.
Lee Yoo Mi was first offered the role of Lee Jae alongside Hwang In Yeop earlier this year. However, she had to step away from the project due to unknown reasons, leaving the lead female role open.
The writer behind the drama
The buzz around 'Dreaming of You' is not just about its cast. A lot of the excitement also comes from its writer, Im Me Ri. She has worked on well-loved shows such as 'Doom at Your Service', 'The Beauty Inside', and 'Human X Gumiho'. Her involvement has added to the anticipation for the drama, especially among fans of romantic K-dramas.

'I fell in love': Taylor Swift recalls first-date question that stunned Travis Kelce and fulfilled her teenage dream
Taylor Swift revealed on New Heights how Travis Kelce's bold attempt to connect with her during the Eras Tour led to their romance (Getty Images Taylor Swift's surprise debut on New Heights didn't just feed the fandom—it stitched together the meet-cute, the mishaps, and the moment a friendship bracelet almost became a plot device. In a rare, relaxed tell-all, she traced how a tight end with a plan accidentally walked straight into one of her teenage daydreams. Taylor Swift's first-date confession and Travis Kelce 's rom-com move Taylor Swift cheerfully credited the show for kick-starting their story: 'This podcast got me a boyfriend,' she said, recalling Travis Kelce's bold attempt to connect during her 2023 Kansas City stop on the Eras Tour. He didn't have a meet-and-greet, and—by her account—'threw a man-tantrum' about it. What read like rom-com bravado to Swift felt oddly familiar to anyone who grew up on '80s movies. 'It was such a wild romantic gesture to be like, 'I wanna date you!' This dude didn't get a meet-and-greet, and he's making it everyone's problem. That's what I thought at first.' He turned up with Patrick Mahomes, plotted around 'the elevator lady,' and even planned to hand her a friendship bracelet with his number—'Like it's 1973,' she laughed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kate Middleton Reportedly Taking Royal Split 'Badly' Crowdy Fan Undo Looking back, Swift admitted the audacity hit a nerve in the best way: the kind of earnest grand gesture 'I've been writing about since I was a teenager.' From 'is he crazy?' to 'thank you, New Heights'—and why it worked Jason Kelce asked the obvious: how did she know Travis wasn't actually unhinged? Swift smiled at the memory of realizing his intent was genuine: 'It was wild, but it worked. I'm glad it worked I'm just circling back to 'New Heights' to say thank you for this,' she said, cupping Travis' face as he blushed. The charm wasn't fame or flash—it was the low-key, get-to-know-you energy behind the theatrics. The first-date football fumble that made them both laugh harder Taylor Swift on Reclaiming Her Masters, Wrapping The Eras Tour, and The Life of a Showgirl | NHTV Swift also confessed to the question that stopped Kelce cold. 'On our first date, I legitimately asked him what it was like when the Chiefs played the Eagles in the Super Bowl, and he looked across the line of scrimmage and saw his brother standing five feet away from him,' she said. Reality check: that scenario can't happen—and he couldn't even respond. 'He didn't even look at me,' Swift laughed. 'I now know what an insane question that was… I thought everyone was out there at the same time. I didn't know what a first down was… what a tight end was… I fell in love with it, I became obsessed with it.'
