In January 2020, Park Seo-joon was cast to play Yoon Hong-dae, a football player-turned-coach.[14] In January 2020, IU was confirmed to star alongside Park. Park prepared for his role by going to the gym.[15]

Filming

Principal photography began on May 7, 2020.[16][17] In October 2020, the production team wrapped up filming in South Korea. Additional scenes were scheduled to be filmed in Hungary or Colombia, depending on the COVID-19 situation.[18] Foreign locale shooting of the film were then postponed to 2022 due to post COVID-19 complications and working schedule of actors.[19]

On February 8, 2022, it was reported that the actors and staff of Dream would start filming overseas in Europe in March. Later, director Lee Byung-hun flew to Europe and toured the filming location.[20] On March 3, 2022, it was reported that Park Seo-joon flew to Hungary for the shooting of the film.[21]

Filming wrapped on April 13, 2022, in Hungary. Commenting on post-production work, director Lee Byung-hun said, "I will do my best to complete the rest of the post-production work so that the feelings we wanted to convey through this film can be conveyed to the audience."[22]

Release

The film was released theatrically on April 26, 2023.[23] It will make its international premiere as Centerpiece Presentation at the 22nd New York Asian Film Festival on July 17, 2023.[24][25]

The film was released on April 26, 2023 on 1229 screens. It opened at 1st place on the South Korean box office with 93,417 people viewing the film.[28] It was placed at 2nd place on first weekend of its release with 138,859 admissions.[29] The film surpassed 1 million cumulative viewers on 16th day of its release.[30]

As of June 18, 2023, with gross of US$8,423,535 and 1,123,956 admissions, it is the third highest-grossing Korean film of 2023.[1] The estimated break-even point for the movie is 2.18 million (South Korean) admissions, therefore the film is not expected to recoup its budget and likely to sustain losses from crowdfunding investors.[31]
