While You Were Sleeping (2017)

Un drama stratosferico!!!

Un drama stratosferico!!! Non ci sono altre parole per descriverlo.
La trama è particolare e intrigante.; c’è la parte legal, la parte romance e la parte fantasy (che riguarda i sogni premonitori). Durante le puntate ci troviamo di fronte a scene commoventi, drammatiche, romantiche e comiche.
Gli attori sono tutti bravissimi e la storia ne guadagna. Ho amato il rapporto tra i tre protagonisti Leo Jong-suk, Bea Suzy e Jung Hae-in. Ci fa capire che la vera amicizia esiste e cosa vuol dire tenere veramente ad una persona. Mi sono piaciuti tantissimo anche i personaggi di contorno che rendono il drama corale.
La storia d’amore c’è ed è dolcissima me mi è piaciuta tanto anche la parte legal che mi ha tenuta sempre con il fiato sospeso.
Un drama da guardare ASSOLUTAMENTE!

This drama showed professionalism not only in the outstanding story line but the screenplay and the amazing cast, this drama is a perfect blend of both supernatural and legal genre of dramas. the soundtrack was filled with talent. each scene had its own originality for its song with each scene re-telling the story of each moment. i do not know what this drama is doing in 40th place cause it deserves so much more and this is not meant to be taken as an opinion, it is pure and sincere facts. One thing i loved about his drama was how they had to encounter a different case and obstacles which not only shaped their values and personality but their relationship with one another but romantically and platonically, so much detail and attention was giving to this drama, have to say this is lee jung suk’s best performance and I’ve seen romance is a bonus book.

I know a lot of people have hate towards this drama and i can honestly say i really don't understand why??
because for me, it's one of Bae Susy's best dramas. I think she did a really good job and had improved her acting skills quite a lot. And the drama itself is on my top 10 easily compared to other dramas i have watched recently. It holds a very good place and memory in my heart.

The story is nothing out of the woods, its good and refreshing in some aspects and i enjoyed it very much. The lead couple worked very good on the chemistry, i loved them, they looked very good together and they did tell the story in a very plausible and emotional way.
The chemistry between all the actors was natural and i personally didn't felt any strange vibes or awkward moments, at least nothing serious that would ruin the fun of watching the drama until the end.

Kudos to the actor who played the vilain because i never wanted to virtually slap someone so hard and so bad as i did when i watched this drama XD (sorry but it's true). I cringed so much every time i saw him come on the screen hahaha But that only shows that he did a terrific job at his part and made the show even better!

For me this drama is a must watch, it's a beautiful story and every actor played their part really well and made the whole thing a very good piece of art.
Good cinematography too, those scenes and shots were carefully planned and made such a huge difference.

Oh and can i just say that the OST in this drama is just FABULOUS!!! I LOVED IT!
I mean, i got chills of how good it was, it gave this drama a mood you can't get rid of!

I personally had a good time watching this drama. The idea is interesting itself to see future in the dreams and the main characters gang up to change the inevitable future. The plot may seem repetitive but I was invested in how they are going to avoid the future on each scenario. The cast did a good job. Lee Jung sok is good and I liked the fact that he's not this rich, good-looking arrogant smart lawyer that everyone drools over but he had to gain his colleagues appreciation and love over the episodes. Bae Suzy is okay I guess. The guy who portrayed the police officer is the best for me in the entire series, he's sweet, lovable and his protrayal of woo tak is true and good. I might check this actor's other work as this is the first time I'm seeing him. The chemistry between the leads is okay not too awesome or anything it's just a part of the show. Overall this drama is quite watchable and at times makes you sit at the edge of your seats. Just go through 5-6 episodes and you'll know if you like it or not!!

I'm not a fan of law and crime but I was waiting for this because of Lee Jong Suk, I love his work, he never disappoints. Ok, about the drama: 7/10
Story: 8/10It's kind of unique. It's something different and interesting that combine fantasy (which is essentially seeing the future through dreams) and justice very well together. But it starts to be very repetitive. I need to say that the drama has a beutiful cinematography and scenery.
Cast: 8/10Yeah Suzy can be a good actress, but why do I feel that I see more Suzy than the character herself? I don't know if anyone else feels the same, but I can't understand very well why I don't feel affected by her.It's not bad acting, but I can't really like her. I think Suzy doesn't improve her acting that much,but yes, she focuses more on being pretty and sounding cute. Lee Jong Suk did a good job (like always) and his character was well writtenThe chemistry was very cute, but I wasn't really feeling it...>.

From the very first episode, I was hooked on the intriguing cases that prosecutor Jung Jae Chan had to tackle. The relationships between the characters were so heartwarming and genuine, making it easy to root for them throughout the series. And let's not forget about the villain - they were so fascinating and kept me on the edge of my seat. The writing was top-notch, with only a few minor plot holes that didn't detract from the overall story. What really stood out to me was how realistic and rational the characters were, which is a refreshing change from many other k dramas.

not the best drama i've ever watched, but i really enjoyed watching every episode. while you were sleeping is the first drama i've watched with the theme of knowing the future from dreams, especially not just one person, but three people whose futures are related to each other. the acting from the good actors (although I believe suzy can hone her skills even more in future projects.) combined perfectly with the ost that matches the vibe of this drama makes us enjoy watching this drama. but looking at the reviews about this drama, I think this drama is either you love it or hate it.

Forgetting the fact that Lee Jong Suk is incredibly cute, I'm gonna be brutally honest with the review.😆

This show is one of those phenomenal shows that serve you romance, thriller, mystery, comedy, all on one plate! I loved it so much that it was very difficult for me to hold myself until the very end to write a review.

Both the main leads aced their roles. While Suzy was a treat for eyes as the intellectual, bubbly and smart reporter Nam, Lee Jong Suk's character Jae Chan saved all the stressful moments with his comic relief. Professionally a prosecutor and personally a lovable, carefree, innocent, cowardly cute little boy. Jong Suk is clearly a talented and passionate actor that his scenes could actually make me cry with him.
A special mention for Jung Hae-In here, as he was so damn perfect in policeman Han Woo Tak's role that it nearly gave me a second lead syndrome. I loved how an unfortunate incident lead to the creation of an unbreakable bond between these three! Supporting each other through thick and thin, they overcame all the obstacles that came through their way.

Coming to the plot, a new kind of story it presents with beautifully done cinematography. I don't know why it is called a rom-com as to me, it seemed more of a suspense murder drama with spine chilling cliffhangers! Lee Sang Yeob is really scary at times, which truly means he did full justice to his villainous character Yoo Bum. I was bewildered and left awestruck with each episode that it made me want for more. The opening and closure episodes were cleverly curated, it makes you laugh and cry at the same time as everything falls into the right place, the right way. Although the storyline felt a bit dragged mid way through the show since same kind of things were happening again and again but Oh My!! What did just get into the makers towards the end!? The last 4 episodes were incredible. I repeat, incredible! This is actually what made me star this drama 10/10.

I would also like to take a moment and praise the film score. Everytime we watch a Kdrama, it's OST is something that stays with us for a much longer time. Lyrical songs are liked by everyone, but this is the first time I was amazed by instrumental background score more than the lyrical ones. I personally LOVED 'when the night started instrumental' by Kim Min Ji. It felt like this one score bound the whole plot, whole story, character building and what not! I literally had goosebumps everytime it played!

Finally coming to what you can take back with you? A lot of great learnings for sure! It is a show that gives you hope on darkest of your days and tells you that no matter how pathetic your life may seem at a point, there WILL come a day when you'll get over all of that and everything will be alright once again. So believe in that day and stick through it. Ah! how much I wish that this drama never ended. Can we get a season 2 please?

You still here? What are you waiting for? Go watch it NOW. Laugh, dream and heal with it. A little bit magic never hurts anyone anyway ;)

A real romance

While you were sleeping is probably my favorite work from both celebrities here. And it is not about something specific, because to be honest W from LJS was even more terrific than this one. But after I watched all of his filmography it is this one that I remember. The soundtrack, the beautiful cinematography, the characters, the intrigue… I am fascinated by old drama like this cause’ (like always till today) they build suspens before the next episode but on this series I remember the revelations to never be disappointed. It is like you really see evolvement of the characters and constant new information about the story and it is not like (let’s make an intrigue to have one..) It is a beautiful work that is highly rewatchable. Now about Bae Suzy, I still believe it is her best role in the sense that this role fits her, she sounded natural. While on her other works, sometimes more challenging, you can see the actress behind it. Briefly, amazing romantic drama!

That being said, it might not fit the taste of everyone. It is extremely romantic. I hardly watched another drama that romantic. I mean, even today, in romantic dramas, characters have their own individuality and so personality, to the degree that you want people to ba able to identify to oneself (male/female/side character) for things they defend, like, background they come from etc. Here there is almost (and actually toward the end there is none) individuality of the characters. It’s two in one, that sort of romance. There isn’t much dramas which work that way.

Tho this is my subjective opinion on which you can disagree :)
