While You Were Sleeping (2017)

What a wonderful ride this drama was !

First I love the mix of genres, from sci-fi to romance, thriller and especially comedy.  It was well balanced and kept me on my toes.

The main couple were cute and sweet. Lee Jongsuk never deceives me. And  I personally liked Suzy in this role (although her acting wasn't as good as in Controllably Fond), they made a really good couple.

The supporting cast, especially the prosecutors with their support and humour,  brought a breath of fresh air to all the kind of dark stories around the criminels they face.

The "I've seen it happen in my dreams" was really interesting especially with how they tried to work around it to avoid bad bad situations.

I would definitely recomend this drama ! It's a good watch!

It was ok-ish

At first I only wanted to watch this drama because of the scene with the girl in the bathroom and because of Lee Jong Suk,but as I watched the story unfold I have to say the plot is amazing.
The bad part is that,even though I really like dramas that involve law,investigation and criminals, I love in equally measure, romance dramas. In this drama I couldn't see the love between the main leads. For me they didn't really have chimistry and it felt forced. I don't know if it's the writer's fault or the actor's one but that is why I lost interest in this drama.
I am not saying that is a bad one because the plot and the story is really unique. BUT this great story was delivered well only in the first couple of episodes. I can't really recall when but somehow the action became repetitive and that is really sad for such a good plot.. (I know I am repeating myself with praising the plot,but honestly I really loved the premise of this drama)
Anyway, thanks to this drama I have found my love for the police guy(Jung Hae In) so I haven't wasted my time that much
Maybe I will give it another go somewhere in the future and thank you for listening to my ted talk.

Let’s just say that for me, at least, the title was prophetic. I found the dynamics between the two leads to be soporific and I started skipping around and fast forwarding before deciding that life (and time to watch dramas) is too short. Maybe Suzy is a bad actor after all. I kept picturing thought bubbles above her head whenever she tried to express an emotion: "Now I will widen my eyes to look surprised," "Now I will narrow my eyes to express Deep Thought." argh. I could not get into the story because all I could see was her acting, which leaned self-conscious and unnatural.

After hearing so much about it, I really tried to enjoy this show! I dropped it several times but kept coming back and trying to push through... It didn't work.

Although the cast was cute, I was confused as to why the two leads even liked each other. They seemed like they were just mashed together and decided to go with it. The story was really up and down as well. Things kept happening that I thought would case major shifts or have longterm effects, but the next episode it was almost forgotten.

Maybe I'll come back to it eventually but not any time soon.
