I Saw You in My Dream

I Saw You On My Bad Review

I watched this show mainly for Putter, Surf and JJ.

The arc with JJ was heartbreaking, the chemistry from Surf pair was heart wrenching and the pair with Putter was heart flopping.

This was a somehow good production, but the story is lackluster, the settings are like poorly done and Ryu's acting skills suffered a little in this show.

But bear with me, I think that Ryu suffered because JJ and Putter acting skills were very on point so the director didn't know what the direction to do with him, because he is a good actor.

And this is another point of contempt, the direction seemed to don't know what to go with the story, so they threw in everything they could to the wall and see what could stick.

But nonetheless I think that if Putter and Ryu act again they should get a proper direction.

By the way the special episode got right what this entire series didn't get.

I loved it!

I absolutely LOVED this series! I loved the connections and bonds the actors portrayed between their characters, the story was interesting and kept me fully engaged over the few days it took me to binge watch it, I thought the music and soundscore fit the series perfectly and helped bring even more feeling and emotion. Lastly, I thought the story as a whole, with the inclusion of the spin off episode, left me with such a satisfied, warm, and toasty and hopeful feeling. I absolutely loved this series and wouldn't change anything about. Kudos to the actors and to all involved in bringing this story to the series screen.

This was adorable and thrilling at the same time

I truly love this series. it's adorable, cute, and honestly just what I needed. It has this perfect blend of romance, a little suspense, and just enough drama to keep you emotionally invested without feeling overwhelmed. The casting was amazing everyone looked so handsome and gorgeous; they absolutely nailed the visual chemistry.

I enjoyed the plot so much. Ai having those dreams of Yu in accidents really kept me on edge. I noticed early on that Ai was actually the cause of those accidents, and it was wild watching him not realise that himself. It’s like he was so focused on saving Yu that he missed his own part in it. Also, those dreams that didn’t happen, when things started floating? That was such a cool visual cue. It made me wonder if Ai subconsciously knew something was different, but he just hadn’t put it all together yet.

There was one moment that really scared me. When Ai took all those sleeping pills. I was so afraid that Ai wasn't going to wake up from all that sleep pill intake. That scared me so much; I was petrified about him never waking up. Watching Yu’s reaction during that whole ordeal made it even more emotional. The tension was so real.

I really appreciated Ing's character. He stood firm and didn’t give in to Yo even though he clearly liked him. Ing truly stood on business because, let’s be honest, Yo was being so emotionally careless, pretending like nothing happened that night? Sir, be serious. And then pushing Wan onto Ai like that? So not okay. Ai was literally rejecting Wan over and over, and it was kind of sad seeing Wan keep trying like he didn’t get the message. I do like that Wan eventually backed off, but honestly, it took him way too long. Ai wasn’t even subtle about his disinterest.

Ai trying his best not to make Yu misunderstand anything, even though they weren’t officially dating yet! that was so cute. The emotional maturity in that moment? I loved it.

I also liked that Pan didn’t come back just to stir the pot. I was so worried she’d show up as the typical ex trying to ruin things, but nope she stayed out of it. What wasn’t cool though was Ice. Oh my god, Ice. That man was terrifying. The stuff he did to Pan had me genuinely scared for her. Like, men being obsessed is already scary, but the stalking? The defaming? The TRACKER?! No. Absolutely not. When that scene happened, I was so heated. How do you do all that to someone who clearly wants nothing to do with you?

And then for him to try to kill Yu? I was like… what is actually wrong with this man? Yu moved on. Yu is literally in love with someone else. Ice staying stuck in this obsessive delusion made no sense he was completely unhinged. But that moment with the reporter announcing his arrest? Hilarious. Like, the way the reporter did not hold back was actually so funny, petty in the best way.

Also, finding out that the grandpa who saved his wife was actually Ai’s grandfather? That was such a twist. And Ai’s mum going through the same dream-thing? I was genuinely shocked. That revelation tied everything together in such a meaningful way.

And the last episode! ugh, it was perfect. That final scene with them outside, finally saying “I love you” to each other… it was pure romance. You seriously can’t get any more heartwarming than that. I had the biggest smile on my face watching it. What a beautiful ending to such a lovely series.

Disappointing Watch Indeed!

Wasted potential. That is what this BL was, which is such a shame as the premise was initially entertaining. Then it slipped into banality and triteness.

It is a story of two neighborhood boys who grow up together. Their tale on how they become connected, to say the least, is a real tearjerker. Ai (Ryu Ingkarat) is the younger of the two. He is in college now but is still rather immature and at times an emotionally fragile individual. Meanwhile, his very best friend, who is slightly older, and an established photographer, is Yu (Putter Phubase). While they advanced together as next door neighbors, their relationship seems more like a blended family, remaining exceptionally close. Yu, an astonishingly handsome young man, is deeply reflective, always eager to help and please, but has a somewhat impassive personality. His affect, however, seems a bit laid-back. Throughout their friendship, he has always been unmerciful in teasing/torturing/pranking Ai. Ai, now that he has gotten older and is beginning to flex his wings, forthrightly expressed his dislike and displeasure for this constant humiliation. From that point, the foundation for a more serious relationship is established. A bit at least.

Simple Romcom done right.

I Saw You In My Dream is a Thai BL story about Ai who just learned that he can dream of what will happen in the future when he turned 20 but his dreams only have Yu in it who is his neighbor he grew up with when Yu and Yo’s parents died when they were younger. This led to him really worrying about him constantly and learning that he is actually interested in him and that it led to them having their own love affair. The story is pretty decent and I think that I really enjoyed the story of this one. It is simple and I know that there is this weird part of the story that is about him seeing some parts of the future in his dreams and I think that is a big part of the story but the presentation is pretty simple and I like that they did not overcomplicate the main story and focused on the relationship of the couple instead which is surprisingly cute. I was a bit hesitant before on how they will be attacking the story because they sometimes go to the extremes but this one did not and it was actually used in the subtlest way possible which is quite fine. I was thinking about the concept and they were able to incorporate it well to the story without putting so many details that can be irritating at times. I was not irritated in this one. In fact, I was more invested with the relationships of the couple that we have. Yu and Ai had a good start and a really good foundation for their relationship since they are a couple who have been together. The show did not have to really push the relationship anymore because it is already there and I think that is a smart decision. They just have to focus on two things and it worked. They also did not try to make so many things happen at once and instead focused on one event at a time which was surprisingly helpful to the story. It did not take away from the story at all and we got to really see the relationship blossom well. I really loved these two and another thing that I loved is the secondary couple in Yo and Ing who are both good with their roles. Actually, the entire cast did a good acting job here. It required something simple and they were able to give just that without making the characters feel like a stereotype or a caricature of some sort. Yo is the one I feel is the most good-looking of all the cast and the relationship he had with Ing had some intensities and I love that about it. It is floating on the simple idea trope but this is what happens when you have something simple and you will be able to handle the story well and just do a good job with it. We have a strong main couple and a good secondary couple. Even the supporting cast is legitimately good and they had their own moments to shine and to really play with the characters they have and it really worked out well. I was not mad about it. Actually, I will say it again that I really enjoyed the show from start to finish because they had one goal in mind and they really decided to go for it and focus on what they really wanted. This is a light show to watch and I am always a sucker for a simple, easy to watch, and enjoyable love stories. I really enjoy watching them and this is just one of them.

Sweet and Fluffy

This series is a light and fluffy comedy with a little bit of supernatural elements thrown in. It is not the most intellectual series I've watched, but it was nice to see a series that had more than a few normal looking people. Putter, playing Yu has redefined what handsomeness is. The character of Yu has unique features, but as the series progressed, I could see why Ai could fall in love with him.

I could have done without the ex-girlfriend but she in the source material, so I had to live with the unnecessary conflict this brought to the couple. A weakness of this story is, I feel that there were times I could not read their thoughts as well as I would have liked. I think that if I had access to a translated copy of the novel, it would have helped me understand the inner thoughts of the characters better.

I recommend this for people who like fluffy, not super deep or philosophical. The characters are like people I would be friends with in real life, so they were relatable to me.

"Kto się czubi, ten się lubi"

Jak mówi stare przysłowie, ktoś się kłóci ten się kocha i tak jest w przypadku naszych głównych bohaterów chociaż nie na tym skupia się fabuła.

Ai śni. Sny te wydają się przypadkowe, jednak Ai dość szybko zdaje sobie sprawę z tego, że takie nie są. Wszystko o czym Ai śni w nocy zdarza się za dnia. I zbiegiem okoliczności wszystkie te sny dotyczą jego sąsiada i przyjaciela z dzieciństwa - Yu.
Większość snów dotyczy jakiejś sytuacji, w której Yu dzieje się krzywda. Oczywiście Ai próbuje temu zapobiec, ale każdy kto kiedykolwiek zetknął się z tematem wie, że niektóre przepowiednie są samospełniające. To twardy orzech do zgryzienia bo Ai musi zdecydować które sny powinien powstrzymać przed spełnieniem i jaką cenę jest gotowy zapłacić. Bo wszystko ma cenę.

Nie znam aktorów głównych z żadnych innych dram. Myślę, że mogli mi mignąć jako role wspierające gdzieś w przeszłości, ale nie pozostawili niezatartego wrażenia. Z pewnością jednak zapamiętam z tej dramy Ryu i nie będzie to ostatni tytuł, który z nim obejrzę. Chociaż poziom gry aktorskiej nie był szczególnie wysoki u nikogo z obsady, nie było też źle. Ryu przez cały czas przywodził mi na myśl szczeniaczka golden retrievera. Chciałam go przytulić, zwłaszcza kiedy szerzej otwierał swoje duże ślepia i dąsał mordkę.

Muzyka... była? Szczerze mówiąc nie pamiętam. Nawet początkowa piosenka jakoś nie zapadła w pamięć. W żadnej scenie kluczowej, czy to pocałunku czy spełnienia snu też nie przypominam sobie co i czy w ogóle coś grało w tle. Co jest smutne, ale poniekąd to moja wina. Odkąd obejrzałam Not Me moje oczekiwania względem ścieżki dźwiękowej są zbyt wygórowane. Mimo to, w innych dramach przynajmniej zwykle ta jedna lub dwie piosenki zwrócą moją uwagę a czasem nawet oczarują na tyle, że nawet nie przeszkadza mi ich powtarzalność. Tutaj tego zabrakło. Chyba, że uznamy za ścieżkę dźwiękową głos Ai'a wołający "P'Yu" na zapętleniu...

Podsumowując to dobra drama, którą mogę polecić fanom lekkich, romantycznych komedii. Ma w sobie coś niemal uzdrawiającego i kojącego. Postaci łatwo polubić, żarty sytuacyjne są zabawne i nie ma niepotrzebnego dramatu i nudnych dłużyzn.

Primeiras impressões

Pra começar fiquei um pouco confusa, pois quando vi a premissa logo pensei que fosse inimigos mesmo, assim como em "Bad buddy", mas ao ver que são amigos de infância me deixou um pouco chateada. Outra coisa que poderia ter sido melhor é a cena do carro que com a tela verde bastante óbvia tirou um pouco a imersão na história. Além disso, os ep poderiam facilmente ter 25/30 min, que não ficariam maçantes e ainda teriam um ótimo desenvolvimento.
Outro ponto muito importante que vale ressaltar para todas as séries BL tailandesas, e que vêm deixando a desejar é o fato de colocarem tantos filtros e efeitos nas cenas que deixam tudo com aparência branca quase como um sonho, principalmente na pele dos atores. É tão artificial que incomoda e deixa a série com aspecto amador.
No geral, a história é boa, com boa química entre os personagens e que deixam claro que sabem conversar e resolver suas divergências facilmente.
