Netflix is about to drop a Korean sports comedy movie and keeping calm is out of the question. From the trailer of Dream (드림), it is clear that the movie is going to be a laughter riot. And why not? It has been written and directed by Lee Byeong-heon himself, the guy behind Extreme Job and Twenty.
The movie will deal with football and the trailer does make it clear that besides the comedy, there will be an emotional quotient, as it is with other Korean sports movies. The way Korean sports comedies incorporate emotions is what makes them so appealing. And needless to say, we can also expect an emotional angle to the palpable chemistry between the leading titular pair of the upcoming film. Overall, a perfect binge-watch-worthy movie. Just blow the whistle already!
Dream Cast
The cast includes Park Seo-joon (Fight For My Way, Itaewon Class, What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim) and famous Korean pop icon Lee Ji-eun aka IU (Dream High, My Mister), in lead roles, along with Kang Ha Neul, Kim Jong-su, Ko Chang-seok, Jung Seung-kil, Lee Hyun-woo and Yang Hyun-min. Park has already proved his hold over the comedy genre with Midnight Runners so we can expect him to pull off the role of footballer Yoon Hong-dae like a pro. And IU too looks pretty comfortable as documentary director Lee So-min.
Dream Plot/Storyline
When famous footballer Yoon Hong-dae undergoes disciplinary action due to his actions during and after a match, his PR team decides to whitewash his public image. For this, the team hires director Lee So-min who aims to film a documentary with Yoon training a bunch of homeless individuals for the upcoming football tournament, the Homeless World Cup.
From the trailer, it is clear that Lee has opted for the players based on how sad their life story is. This would only add to the message that her documentary will carry and which will in turn help Yoon regain his image. However, this whole plan nullifies the very nature of a documentary as the whole thing is scripted. Confusion and arguments are bound to occur. But the latter half of the trailer shows how the footballer will slowly manage to teach the individuals not just how to play football but the very meaning of team spirit and what all it takes to stay together. The journey won’t be easy but the results will be worth celebrating.
Dream Release Date and Trailer
The Korean movie, which will reportedly have a runtime of 2 hours and 5 minutes, releases on Netflix on July 25, 2023. Watch its trailer below to join in on the hype.

Ok…who made this?!? Netflix??! IMPOSSSIBLE, I acttuly made ME LAUGHT and thats rare, I DO NOT USALLY LIKE SOCCER, I HATE IT WITH PASSION,
I usally would stick a flat soccer ball up someones ass and pump it up til you ass EXPLODES,
but this is okies *insert smile face*
But this is FUNNY, funny people doing funny stuff on the field, if they make other sports and do the same stuff like this i may see it,
Funny slapstick dramas is way to go, please do more,
Not too stiff serious dramas like ususall, with stiff fake faces
My score fore now: 3.0 of 5, if the other half part is boring i will return TO TELL YO ASSES.
WELLL …..I WANT ..YOUR…ASSES…AND I WANT THEM NOOOWW…
THE LAST 30 MINUTES THE SOCCER GAME WAS JUST LIKE A REGULAR SOCCER GAMER, SO THEN THE OTHER YEAM GOT LIKE 5 FUCKING GOALS IT WAS TIME TO TURN IT OFF,
THEY DIDENT EVEN TRY TO MAKE IT FUNNy LIKE THE FIRST PART,
THEY LOST THE MOMENT THEY PUT THEIR FEET ON THE FIELD,
THEY NOT EVEN MANAGE TO KNOCK OUT SOME OF THE OTHER WINNING TEAM OR PUT A FOOT AND MAKE THEM EAT GRASS,
WOULD PERSONLY KICK IN SOME FACES IF I WAS THERE,
STAY AWAY FROM THE END AND YOU WILL BE FINE,
NEW SCORE: 2.5 OF 5 OKIES BUT KINDA LAME/BORING END, NO I DIDENT WATCH ALL, I WILL WATCH THE REST THEN I ON MY DEAD BED.
