Dream Boy

As a Drama and Romance, 'Dream Boy' elicits strong emotional responses primarily centered around the challenging and often tragic nature of its central relationship. **Anxiety** and **Sadness** are dominant, stemming from Nathan's unstable home life, the constant relocation, and the immense societal pressure and secrets surrounding his burgeoning relationship with Roy in a conservative environment. The audience experiences high **Empathy** and **Melancholy** as they witness the characters' deep yearning, confusion, and the inevitable unraveling of their fragile world. **Fear** and a sense of the **Disturbing** arise from the escalating tension, 'terror,' and 'disaster' that threaten to destroy their lives, while **Love** remains a significant, albeit tragically fraught, component of the narrative.
