‚While you were Sleeping‘ was my 5th drama written by Park Hyeryun. The only drama I didn‘t like was Dream High. the other dramas I watched were very good. Even though I was very excited to watch the drama I was sceptical, too, because of Suzy. I watched her in Dream High and she was...bad. And I watched her in Uncontrollably Fond and she was...definitly not good. But I love Lee Jongsuk, Lee Sangyeob and Jung Haein and the story sounded very interesting, so I decided to watch the drama during the airtime.Story: Like I said before, I was excited because the story sounded very interesting and it didn‘t disappoint me. A young woman dreams about real incidents, who happens after she dreamed about them. It sounded different from most of the other fantasy dramas I watched until now. The story was ecxiting and honestly there were many surprises.
Cast: The Cast was very good, even though Suzy was a little bit off. Especially I want to name two Actors who surprised me the most. But I want to begin with the two Main Actors.
Bae Suzy. To be honest, I think that she should just stay singing, because unfortunately she is not one of the idols who can act as well. I was very skeptical about her role, but she was improving. In the first episodes I found her really bad. It was somehow ... stiff in my opinion. But after a few episodes, I realized that she has improved in comparison to her last drama. She will never be one of my favorites, but if she keeps practicing, she may at least be bearable. But I still do not like one thing about her. If she cries, that looks kind of artificial. Maybe that's up to me, but I do not think every actor can cry well and sadly, Suzy is one of them.
The male protagonist Jung Jaechan was played by Lee Jongsuk. As I said, I'm a big fan of him since I saw him in School 2013, I love him and his way of acting. I must also honestly say that he not only plays the role of the rather childish and naive public prosecutor very well, but he is also pretty good at the role. It's one of the main reasons why I just could not drop this drama, even though I often have a problem with it if I do not like the chemistry of the main couple.
By far the most surprising actor was none other than Jung Haein, who really surprised me a lot. He's a really excellent actor, and I was convinced of that when I saw him in 'Blood', which I stopped for some reason. I hope he gets the first lead role soon. His role was very nice and sometimes I wished he would end up with the female lead, but then I thought the way it was was the best. The Second Actor who was very surprising was Shin Jaeha. I watched him in Page Turner and didn‘t liked his role but his acting. In this drama he played the younger brother of Jung Jaechan who has a crush on a girl who is one of the guest stars in the first few episodes. Like Haein Jaehe is a very prominsing Actor.
I liked the Acting of Lee Sangyeob, too, but his role was...>.< Argh could he get another role like in Innocent Man, please? I can‘t talk more about him and his role because I am afraid I would write any spoilers, but his actoong was amazing. Most of the other Actors were okay.
Music: The OST is very nice, but honestly...Lee Jongsuk doesn‘t need to sing...I am finee with him when he only acts…

Acting/Cast: This drama really caught my attention of the cast especially the main cast Lee Jong Suk and Suzy. I've watched all their dramas and most of them are my favorites. Lee Jong Suk never fails in his acting and he proves that He still one of best korean actor. I remembered the last part of the episode when his crying it really touches my heart and made my cried also. Suzy really improved in her acting skills in this drama and it made me more interest watching every episodes. Jung Hae In even if I've seen him in other drama, this drama really made him recognized more not just his looks but also as a good actor. I love also Kim So Hyun in this drama even if she's just a guest role. I love her acting so much and also her interaction with suzy. I just love both of them. Also Lee Sang Yeob really portrays his role well, and the prosecutor team made me laugh everytime, Every cast really suits in their character and i love every interaction made in this drama.
Music: All OST were perfect in every seen or episode in this drama. Just Perfect!
I'm not the k-drama fan that will watch the episode or the whole again after I finished watch it. It takes so long or about more than a year after I rewatch it but this drama break my rule. This drama is so good that after I watch an episode I want to rewatch it again and again.
All are opinion are different but all I can say that this drama is DAEBAK! :D

You don't need anything but this one :P
I personally loved While You Were Sleeping. Others may disagree, but they're all wrong. Sure, WYWS didn't do everything perfect, it's not Goblin for instance, but it came pretty close.
Suzy, who has been critisised in the past for not being able to act, really shows off how much she's grown. Her acting is constantly believable, and even touching at some times. Suzy is still cute and georgous, but she also shows she's capable of portraying real emotions like sadness and anger. I've been completely blown away by her growth in acting.
The one you'll probably find wanting however, is going to be Lee Jong Suk. You might want to point towards his character and the way it's written. And you'd have a point. He's almost two dimensional and doesn't do much for the story nor for the chemistry he's supposed to have with Suzy. Which, admittedly, is lacking. Personally I feel that's mostly due to Lee Jong Suk, which all you fangirls out there will not want to here. I felt his acting was flat and he could've done a lot more with his character, even within the boundaries that the writer put on his dialogues. He has done better, for instance in Pinocchio.
The story is pretty cool though. Who wouldn't want to dream about his/her partner and try to stop whatever is happening so he/she doesn't fail? The way these dreams fit together is pretty nifty too. The only sad part is that the last "dreamer" never really connected with his dreams to the rest. Unfortunately, I can't explain what I mean without divulging too much so you'll just have to take my word for it :).
I really love how this story sets things up from the first episode. Some stuff takes really long before the details are shown, and that keeps you wanting for more.
The lovestory between Suzy and Jong Suk is pretty cool with a confident Suzy at the helm :). Some of the episodes are pretty intense, to downright scary. But it all gets handled pretty well.
Would I rewatch it? Hell yes. The only thing that annoyed me was that I had to wait another week for new episodes :)

Let`s start with the plot. Being able to predict the future through dreams is a topic that has been widely explored in a number of other shows, and movies (not necessarily Korean dramas and movies), so if you have seen those you can have a gist of what you should expect. That being said, WYWS had a messy, but acceptable plot. What was important for me was that it keeps me interested through the whole show, and it did. It kept surprising, linking parts of the story from the beginning until the end. There were moments that could be predicted, however there were many that could not. As it constantly skips from the present to the past and to the future as well, some parts were bound to get a bit messed up, but I think we can live with that. The show held me tightly throughout the 32 episodes, which is not something that many K-dramas have done.
Now to the cast. I`ve seen Lee Jong Suk in Pinocchio and W, and I loved his acting there. Here, he did good throughout the most part, but I believe he only started to shine in the last few episodes. On his account though, it was not an easy role. None of the roles in this drama were, while we are at it. The characters had to constantly display various kinds of emotions, some which were supposed to be hidden, but still visible enough so we can notice them. Nevertheless, I think Lee Jong Suk was a good fit for the role. As for Suzy, I haven’t seen any other dramas that she has been in, but I’ve read that she is regarded as just a “pretty actress”. For me, she did just fine. It wasn’t anything spectacular, but it was okay, and more importantly, the character suits her. And the fact that I mentioned that the characters were hard to act applies to her the most. She is supposed to be the girl that can see the future, but be smart enough to see that she can’t change it, yet also strong enough to move on with life knowing that people around her are dying while she could theoretically do something about it. Overall, I don`t have any major objections towards any of our 2 leads. And if we talk about the second leads, I have only praise about them. Jung Hae In and Lee Sang Yeob did perfectly what they were supposed to do. One should be loved, the other one should be hated. And that was the way it was. The side cast did a great job as well, especially Kim Won Hae, I have honestly not seen a bad drama with him.
The music was very nice, beautiful at some points, there are some memorable soundtracks, and it matched the atmosphere perfectly. Slow, melancholy, yet hope inducing songs that suit both the heart breaking and the heart fluttering moments. Even though the story takes place in a city, the drama had some nice scenery, which made it even more pleasant to watch.
Overall, for me, this drama was amazing. For some it could have been just okay, and I completely understand why. The prevailing romance fit well with the storyline and made it even more striking at some points. There were moments of happiness, moments of grief, and moments of anger, which could easily take you on an emotional ride. I suggest that you watch this drama, even if you have doubts about it, since I am quite certain it won`t disappoint you.

Keep your regrets short but remember it for a long time.
Plot: A woman who dreams about future events and no matter what she does, she couldn’t change it, until someone did. Although the plot may seem weird or too favorable for the flow of the story, the cases were interesting enough to move forward.Acting: The other main leads shone brightly than the couple, their chemistry was off as well. The female lead can cry but the emotion is not in place for me. Her line delivery is sometimes awkward, probably because of her mouth and it makes her acting awkward as well. While the male lead tried to be silly but had some unconvincing or unnatural facial expressions. Even so, Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk still did a decent job in most scenes.
Music: I love the Ost/bgm especially Henry Lau’s.
Rewatch Value: I might not rewatch but there could be some scenes people may find rewatchable.
Overall: 8 stars for the comforting message and goosebumps moments. Mr. Choi made me cry a lot and there were also some scenes that I found relatable. The series was frustrating initially because their decisions were kind of contradicting but fortunately, every episode ended up nicely. They keep having these dangerous dreams, and they try to change the flow and yet they still think about not sharing it or brainstorming about it. It’s like they haven’t learned anything from their experiences. Luckily, it ended up in a satisfying way or somehow acceptable. Jae Chan didn’t have to find the earring to prove that Hong Ju was lying about not visiting him in ICU because clearly, they had a conversation before about him punching her when they were younger, and she was the one who remembered it. There were some bothersome events like hiding stuff in a very obvious place or stealing phones and left it open all day that could make your eyes roll. The ending was not memorable as well. The inconsistencies of the plot could be a turn off to some but since I enjoyed the dialogues, it didn’t affect my overall rating and feeling for the drama.

Asimismo los misterios -tanto los casos de los juicios como los de la trama en sí- son buenísimos y no te los esperas para nada. Personalmente soy muy fan del misterio y los juicios y he visto muchas series del estilo, y he de decir que WYWS lo ha hecho genial. Hay tanto casos muy buenos que muestran cómo la ley actúa injustamente en la vida real y también otros casos en los que todo parece carecer de sentido hasta que llegan las tres gracias y lo solucionan juntos. :D
No recuerdo ningún momento en el que me haya aburrido viéndolo; siempre están ocurriendo cosas y nunca demasiado rápido. Quedé tan enganchada que me vi como 12 capítulos en un día xd
La recomiendo muchíiiiiiisimo, si os gusta el misterio, lo sobrenatural (bastante mild, a mí la fantasía mucha gracia no me hace pero que haya un punto sobrenatural leve me encanta y esta serie lo lleva genial), una pareja principal que no da tirria, un second lead syndrome porque Haein es maravilloso y sobre todo si os gusta tanto Jongsuk como a mí hay que verla sí o sí!

Story - the story was great at first. It kept you on the edge of your seat while making you crazy waiting for the next episode. Soon after around ep 16/8 the drama lost its thrilling spark. The dreams became repetitive, and usually had the same outcomes. If you think of this drama as mainly romcom, I think you would enjoy it though. :)
Acting/cast - I liked the cast. Suzy was great, she improved quite a bit and her character was pretty funny sometimes. Lee Jong suk was the same as always. His performance was enjoyable, although I think he should try to play a different type of character next time. As it feels that his character is always the same character in a different world. The rest of the cast was great!
Music - I really enjoyed the Music, especially Come To Me by Lee Jong Suk, and Lucid Dream by Monogram.
Rewatch Value - I feel like you could rewatch this drama after a long time but if you rewatch it right away you will get bored by the repetitiveness.
Overall - This drama was a good watch. I watched around one episode a day so I didn't get bored by it, and enjoyed it quite a bit. I recommend this if you are looking for a cute romcom.

100% Awesome!
This was the longest KDrama Series that I watched. This was the first time that I didn't get bored in the middle of the drama and skipped to the last two episodes then go back to episodes that I skip. It had me focused all the way from the first episode through to the last episode. Suzy Bae you just made my Top 10 Female Actresses. Thank you, Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk for making this story interesting, exciting, romantic, emotional, and a lot of drama. Lee Jong Suk, wow just wow, everything you did in this KDrama performance made this very convincing, being humorous (which I loved the most), you are a star! LJS has them eyes with long lashes that shine bright too. *Love them eyeZ* The Romance chemistry was there between Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk... "Awesome".When I give a 10 rating, it means that the storyline wouldn't have worked without all the cast, directors, producers, screenwriters (what a storyline, loved it) visual, wardrobe and etc. *bowing 3x's to everyone with much respect*!

Starts good but mediocre from the middle
You want to dive into the most used cliches in Kdrama romance shows:How about love triangles? No?
I know that is related to dreams but how about childhood encounters that leads are not aware of? No?
Then what about the most childish jealousy (Like nobody can't even lay a finger on you!)? No?
How about the kind of triangle when someone one of the leads had a close man and woman relationship with becomes the evil enemy of you and your lover to the end? No?
How about leads presented as goodness incarnate and not actual human beings?
I can give you more but I think that's enough.
And no matter how hard I tried not to care but he didn't look like a prosecutor to me. The clothes he wears, how he looks and behaves.
The romance and the lovey-dovey parts. Not my taste. At least not from halfway forward. I skipped most romance parts and fast-forwarded everything from the middle.
The start and the first half were decent but I lost interest halfway.
