Where Dreams Come True

Firstly, I personally enjoyed watching. Was it the most incredible character and story development? Definitely not, but it was a story of personal growth and maturity - the true definition of a slice of life following the lives and careers of four friends in the fashion industry. An extremely chill, easy, and stress-free watch, so if you’re looking for something to wind down and not have to focus too much, this is the k-drama for you.

There are a couple of things I believe viewers need to accept or understand before watching this k-drama (which I believe are some of the reasons people didn’t like this show). Firstly, accepting that this k-drama is set in a very privileged world of fashion. There are moments you’ll find the characters are beyond privileged, but also remember in light of the stress-free environment - these main characters don’t have the usual traumatic backgrounds most k-drama main protagonists have. Secondly, “dating” is very different in South Korea. In Korea, people usually “date” and then choose to label later as boyfriend/girlfriend. You’ll see right off the bat in the first episode why this matters - they were together, but technically not together… it doesn’t really excuse what she did, but I guess at least the k-drama passes it over as if it didn’t happen and it becomes negligible in the “story”. If you can overcome these two barriers, it should be a fairly easy watch!

Overall, it was honestly a very heartwarming watch. I enjoyed watching their lives develop, seeing them achieve their dreams, and watching them support each other 100%. As many others have said, I believe their friendship was the biggest reason this show was worth watching. Without hesitation, they continuously helped each other out. Their friendships with each other were never transactional and none of them ever expected anything in return.

As what others have also said, what this k-drama lacked the most is that there was no solid storyline or plot to follow… this made the k-drama clearly show there wasn’t a strong foundation and it honestly felt like a series of events more than anything. There was nothing developing, nothing that compelled the viewer to keep watching. The only driving factor of this show was the friendship between the four main characters. This k-drama could have been definitely more, but with eight episodes this was probably the best outcome they could produce and I think it was the best outcome. They really only could do so much in terms of character development in eight k-drama episodes.

I personally enjoyed it! Was a super easy watch and I enjoyed watching this slice-of-life strong friend group in a rich privileged fashion industry setting. The casting is also just A+, casting a model to act as a model… Felt like a million dollars watching her model in a k-drama where she’s supposed to be acting… It’s legit.

I would say give it a chance! The best way to gauge if this k-drama is for you is how you feel about the pace and series of events happening in the first two episodes, just know it’ll be the same until the last. Nevertheless, I ended up binge-watching the show in one sitting.
