While You Were Sleeping Episode 32

A bit the heavy on the drama, but satisfying romance with Happy ending

I liked that although there were tropes in this series, they were really done well. I'm not a fan of flashbacks, but the way they were done & used here won me over. Poor Lee Jong-suk did SO much crying, which was a bit much for me but I was impressed that he had the acting ability to pull it off well. I liked that the suspense and the heavy drama parts were quickly resolved for the most part. I liked that the resolution for the love triangle was so amicable and that the guy who didn't win the girl's heart was just as good a guy as the other guy, but there was not conflict of interests for the viewer. Leads were good but did not have over the top chemistry (blame it on the way the female lead was written I think) satisfying romance with Happy ending.The premise of the dreams being central & not just limited to one person & the specifics behind that plot devise was really well done. The lack of irritating parents in this series was a relief ! I will definitely rewatch. I prefer romantic dramas & even though there was plenty of satisfying romance so I gave this 1/2 star less for being a bit heavier :so some days I took a break from it as I needed something fluffier at the end of a long day!

Despite reading many comments that have given explanations as to why they didn't enjoy this drama or didn't feel as though it met their expectations, I still can't understand why people don't like it. Personally, this drama is one of my absolute favourites. Although I do lean more towards the romance genre and specifically look for that tag, I found this drama exceptionally produced. I will admit, it did lack the sparking romance that many K-Dramas have but that's what made it amazing. I'm glad that they focused more on the law and drama rather than Jae Chan and Hong Joo's romance because essentially, without it I probably would have easily lost interest and just moved on. The fact is that everything (in my opinion) was so well put out. From the acting, to the plot and even to the characters, I loved it all. It started off with a bang and didn't fail to keep me on my toes the whole way through. The way that the crimes played out and the actors of those criminals did an amazing job. On top of this, the way that Jae Chan (along with others) handled and solved these cases was awesome. And the concept of the dreams was executed perfectly. Although I've already watched this 3 time, I would definitely watch it again.
