When We Dream
Synopsis
Nineteen-year-old Ella has lived with her older sister in Chicago since their parents died, and she prefers the quiet of her books and sketchbook to the city's noise. Then she meets Jae-yong — charming, easy to talk to, and, as she gradually realizes, a member of one of the world's biggest K-pop groups.
"When We Dream" opens Anne Pätzold's LOVE NXT trilogy, a contemporary romance built around the culture clash between an ordinary art student and a global pop star, and the strain fame puts on an otherwise simple connection.
