I don't get all the hate and low ratings for this series..
It was fairly similar in quality to many other series made in a similar time (Examples: What the Duck, My Bromance series, Sotus S). I would go so far as to say it is better than some other popular series like Gen Y, Love by Chance2, and 2gether. Sure these weren't the most experienced or the best actors, but they tried, and did a decent job. I always cut new or inexperienced actors some slack, especially if it isn't a full-on Hollywood type production. It IS just a silly series after all.I liked the mystery and sci-fi aspects of this series. There was some mystery as to who Dream and Kafe/Elle are, and how they are related. I changed my mind multiple times whether these were good or evil characters. I still don't get whether they are real or imagined beings, or maybe even aliens. Or are they something else entirely? And what do the rings and dreamcatcher have to do with all this? And why does Dream show up with Elle in the last episode, and are they really even there?
Some complain about lack of chemistry in this series, but Runway and Tanai have a one-way relationship from what I see. Runway just isn't completely into Tanai, or it is more platonic than romantic for him than Tanai. And Runway isn't into Dream either, for lots of good reasons. I don't blame him, some weird dream happens, and you are just supposed to fall in love with this "ghost" that has known you since you were a baby? It might be a comforting presence, but probably not romantic.
And with Guide and Yim (unexpectedly?) turning Gay I am not surprised about the lack of chemistry in those relationships either. And in the case of almost all the main characters, they were all High School guys, they probably were like many of us that were not sure of the difference between a crush, or love, and how to act upon it. So I don't fault any of them for their indecision when confronted with multiple and confusing situations.
There was a little bit of filler here and there, and they could have paced it a little faster for some parts, but I thought it worked fine. Maybe because I binge watched it over the course of a couple days it worked better than if I had to wait a week between episodes? If they would have trimmed a few things out it would have allowed more time for the ending. A lot happened in just that last 10 minutes or so. And it really needed more than the 10 minutes. I think that is a general criticism of many of the Thai BL series I watch, they seem to want to cram a lot into the last episode and it leaves things messed up a bit.
The only thing that I am downgrading in my rating is for is the ending. They left too many loose ends with no way to wrap everything up. They announced a sequel series that did not and probably will not happen at this point. At the very least, they could (still should) have made a last "special episode" to at least finish what they started, and maybe show "one year from now" sort of thing.
In summary I think it was an OK series, neither excellent nor poor. It was a good distraction in early 2021 while I was waiting for other series to air. It left me wanting more, which I cannot say about other series I have watched.

In my Honest opinion, and maybe my taste in things are a little different, but i really liked this series, its definitely not on par with "2 moons" or "Great Man Academy" (to name a few) and there is ALOT of room for improvement but overall i think the story line is cute, albeit awkward at times, it's peaked my interest and did ignite emotions .My quick input,
-People say that its boring and cant finish the season, but i personally love the story line
- A scene where it involved rape and the MC makes a sly remark/ jokes about it, and has his friend get in the same car as his rapist, was very distasteful
-hopefully the directors/ writers make it more appealing in the second season, the drop off cliff hanger for this season, really pissed me off, and hopefully they dont replace the actors like they did for 2 Moons
- Also what really put me off was the fact that Dreams character met Runway for the first time, was when Runway was still a baby, and stayed with him through out most of his infant time, this really sparks a political debate if one was to go there, this plot irked me quite a bit, i thought they were brothers and Dream had past away, I got this idea at first because, I thought Runway's mother was holding a picture of Dream and crying because she lost Dream and not MC's father, plot twist got me on end
Over all, Runway and Dream are really beautiful actors LIKE STUNNING,
Runway is 17 IRL, I was genuinely shocked to learn his real age, although he seems more mature in nature he is very cute and innocent looking, matching his real age
Dream is 22 IRL, He is absolutely gorgeous, his dimples have me speechless
Overall connection between the two characters is really something else in this series, wish the connection and spark was more like "Together with me" main characters

The Last episode, where Yim, Runway and Guide enters in university, indicates the real kickstart of story begins from there. It somewhat reminded me of Sotus (in last episode).
P'Dream reveals they will bring season 2 to show about 'prequel' thingy but I am really interested to know about 'sequal' though.
All the characters are good looking. About music? Silly question! Its Thai Drama afterall! Music has reservation already as one of melodious tunes.
About story, its fantasy but unique. Good to see something unique. Now all the plot is in hand of P'Dream. If he rejects Runway as his boyfriend, all love chain will get shifted. If he accepts, again pairings will be different of all characters. Intetesting. Waiting for next season eagerly!

LOVED THIS
I've read some reviews while I watched this drama and of course everyone has their own tastes and their own opinion but I have to say I really love this drama a lot. It has a unique storyline,the ost is beautiful and it's even getting a Prequel. The ending is open thats true but since a prequel called "My dream the series alpha" will be released (it's delayed idk much more ) shows that there's more to the plot than you thought and maybe there will be a special episode for the present too. But you see the ending could have several ways we could interpret it and I think that's beautiful.Was this review helpful to you?
A+ for Originality
I gave this a much higher score than it deserves simply because the story is so interesting and original. Unfortunately the execution was poor; some of the cast (well most of them) are not great actors, but I can over look that (we all gotta start somewhere), some of the plots were rushed/ didn't make sense, and it ends on a cliffhanger. Apparently there is suppose to be another season as hinted in the last episode but it was suppose to air in 2019... at the time of this writing it is June 2020 -_-If we can get another season to explain things and conclude this really intriguing story, I would TOTALLY watch. That said, I would still recommend this as it's just a weird and unusual plot.
*Plus everyone is INSANELY good-looking- with a very loud shout out to Boom (especially with glasses), Choot and that androgynous look he has going on, and Fluke and his AH-MAZING smile and dimples ^_^

The story is about 4 couples There a main couple the boy ranway( logic name by he run a way from reality they could not make it more simple)
he is inlove with a man older than him look as his father in age and also clothes and acting and he called the "dream" he also follow this boy from young age since his father passed a way. it's very sick plot to my opinion
This dream is sort of a father figure and than become his lover, if it's not sick i don't know what is
theres anothee real boy inlove with runway - he is handsome and sweet loving guy, unfortunatelly runway run from answers and run from him and lead him on, toture him like crasy, it's very pathetic and sad.
theres also the runway friend that discover that he is gay...he is very cute but he doesn't make any progress at all so it's very very weird
I skip on the streigth couple it was so weird and not interesting ...boring as hell
the last couple are the sick of the sickness of this writer.
it's about the guy that rape runway friend and getting out of it by saying sory and hug him...it's very very disturbing, from this scene i wanted to stop watching this rubish but i couldn't
i skiped also most of the slow moments so it could be beriable...if i was not i couldn't watch this at all
the editing was slow and bad but the story worse.
its had a potential, that is why i like part of it.
Music 8/10
i can enshure you this song is a a rip off of South Korean old song...it's sound so falmilier but i like sk music (the old one) so i liked it also
Acting
the acting was really bad.but every one of them are looking great and handsome
Overall-
i will not watch it again, and the ending was very bad, not clear not telling anything at all and want as to watch the next season
AND YES
although everything i will watch the next seasone because i like 1% of this and it's runway friends...all of them i like

Where do I start the actors are really awkward together no real chemistry
There is no chemistry or character development between the main couple dream and runway
The side couple Tanai and guide are better off than the main couple there is some development between them
As for the story it is illogical and cringe worthy for the most part
I found the gender bender theme particularly annoying.
You mostly end up fast forwarding through the episodes

Okay okay i actually have high expectations for this series. I thought its gonna be some magical shit that soon will become unravel like who is Dream and who is Elle. The thing with this series is the editting is perfect and the cg is damn good! But the minus point is when the plot starts to becomes boring and slow. I admit that there is cliffhanger at the end of the series but instead of wanting to watch em, i react like "oh ok".The series doesn't have those kind of scene that makes the audience turns wild. It didn't tease the audience. Like you want kiss scene? Bam! There you go. And i was like uhh.. Ok? And i wish the plot moves a little bit faster and they could reveal a little bit about Elle and Dream so that the audience will be wanting more.
Trigger warning though, there's rape scene in this series so be careful if you are easily getting triggered. Ah shit, Fluke's acting is perfect! The way he caress Best's hair is oh gollyyyyyyyy. And yes, there is no slight closure at the end of the series which makes me lose interest to watch it. But its a good series that doesn't makes me feel bored. At least its not the shittiest bl series i have ever watch.
The only thing that helps me to watch it till the end is Fluke's acting. He is so good that i am surprised it's his first drama.

It started okay but plot got boring as story progressed. Plot is so slow and some scenes badly needed some editing. Bad music background and the sound quality is no better than an amateur school project. There are so many scenes that there is nothing actually going on, just a waste of air time. Main characters Dream and Runway has no actual chemistry, Id rather watch the goldfish than endure Runway's dream sequence. Tanai and Guide actually provides more excitement for me.
Story has potential but got wasted. The people behind this drama tried to be ambitious but failed to deliver. Another BL that followed My Tee's footsteps.

I've got to admit, at the beginning of the movie, I had high expectations. The plot seemed awesome, right amount of suspense, right amount of mystery everything seemed to work out well. Then they decided to spend more time than necessary in putting details on irrelevant stuff that I actually forgot the main plot. It made me tired of the movie. The main leads had little to no screen time together, on top of that, they did not even have good chemistry. Wow everything was just a big mess at a point that I wanted to drop this. You'd say it couldn't get worse than this but yeah, it did. The end was just... disappointing should i say? at least the writer was able to make me stick around till the end of the movie. Gotta give em' that at least.
Acting/ characters
I don't know if its because this is a supernatural, but the characters did not come off as human beings to me at all. Their emotions were either too shallow or just nonexistent. For example, when the main actor's mother found out about her husband's death, you'd expect her to be a bit more shocked, but no. Instead she looked like she planned the whole thing. Didn't even show a sign of shock or even just a little denial. That totally removed a lot of depth from the character.
Music
The music wasn't anything memorable. I mean... I even forgot this movie had music...
Rewatch Value
This also has low rewatch value. I'd probably rewatch this but only if I have to.
Overall, I didn't enjoy this movie. The acting wasn't so good, The writer should have used all of the elements in the movie well (take the ring for example) Not only did they not use some elements in the right way, they totally forgot about some too. All in all, the plot felt too rushed in the wrong places and too slow in wrong places. This movie would be much better with just a little revision.I didn't enjoy this so I still wouldn't recommend this.

I actually found this quite enjoyable to watch. There are a lot of plot holes, but if you watch it without expecting a plot of high quality, it is quite enjoyable. However, I found a lack of development between the two main characters, Dream and Runway. Also, the love triangle among Runway, Tanai, and Guide lasted way too long that I seriously got so annoyed with them. The only couple I was actually looking forward to every episode was Good and Elle, but that also wasn't settled nicely. I also really liked Yaimai, and I was glad they didn't make her out to be some bitch (except during the first episode she was introduced in) like other thai BLs and actually want to see more of her.
The ending was so disappointing LOL like????? I'm glad there's a season 2 though, cause I did genuinely enjoy watching this except for the love triangle story line (which was so annoying UGH).
