Shocking buzz for ENA’s new Monday–Tuesday K-drama: Hwang In-youp (35) and Hyeri (32) ignite a first-love reunion romance that’s already going viral.

On the 10th, the team behind ENA’s new Monday–Tuesday drama Dream to You dropped two teaser posters spotlighting the aching chemistry between Woo Subin (played by Hwang In-youp) and Joo I-jae (played by Hyeri).

Dream to You is a romantic comedy about a genius film director, Woo Subin, who returns in glory after achieving his dream, and Joo I-jae, a scrappy, bread-and-butter reporter who has forgotten hers. After they reunite, the pair start rewriting the unfinished film—and the unfinished love—from their school days, promising a story that blends real-life relatability with heart-fluttering nostalgia.

The newly revealed posters juxtapose the duo’s radiant past in the summer of 2011 with their present-day selves in their 30s—15 years later—for a striking contrast.

In the past poster, the two wear fresh-faced school uniforms beneath dazzling sunlight. Woo Subin beams at Joo I-jae, while Joo I-jae captures his gentle smile through a camera lens—perfectly evoking the tender, tingly mood of first love. The copy lines—"Back then, I lived every day dreaming of you" (Woo Subin) and "Back then, I lived every day inside a dream" (Joo I-jae)—dial the nostalgia all the way up.

By contrast, the present-day poster spotlights how their positions have flipped. Woo Subin basks in the spotlight as the red-carpet darling, sweeping international film festivals with his debut feature, while Joo I-jae has put her director dream on pause to roam the country as a reporter. The clashing captions—"Face-to-face again with the first love I could never forget" and "The first love I tried to erase is back"—crank up curiosity about how their reunion will upend their reality.

As soon as the posters dropped, netizens raved: "These posters are insanely well made," "So refreshing together," "I suddenly want to watch it," and "They look amazing in school uniforms."

Meanwhile, the 12-episode Dream to You premieres July 13 at 10 p.m. KST on ENA and will also be available on Genie TV and TVING.
