On January 8, JTBC News reported that Hwang In Yeop has been cast as the male lead in Dream to You (literal title). He is in talks to play the role of Woo Soo Bin.

As an adult, he finally achieves his dream of becoming a film director. 

The drama will also feature a female protagonist character Lee Jae. As a teenager, she was a dreamer with utmost courage. However, in her 20s, the cruelty of the real world hits her, shattering her dreams into pieces. After turning 30, she just joins the crowd of all the other exhausted adults. 

Anticipation runs high to see who will play the female lead character opposite Hwang In Yeop. Adding to the excitement, the screenplay for Dream to You has been penned by writer Jung Eun Bi, best known for Doom at Your Service and The Beauty Inside.
