Story:
I liked the idea of the story. It’s not particularly new since I watched a few movies and dramas with a similar idea, but “While You Were Sleeping” told the story in a really nice way. I liked the fact, that Hong Ju gave up on saving people after all those horrifying years just to learn how to use her ability in order to save people. With help of people around her obviously. However, in the middle of the drama it was less about that dreaming of the future part which I found a little bit sad. Even though Lawyer Lee was the villain here, he never really strikes me as one and I was desperately waiting for some villain I can passionately hate. Not that Lawyer Lee was not hateable, but he was rather dull as the main villain. And there were some plot holes that got me confused but then again there is no drama with no plot holes, right? – of course opinions differ so please don’t feel offended :)
Acting/Cast:
I was pleasantly surprised by Suzys improvements and though I wouldn’t call her an awesome actress yet, she did definitely better than in Uncontrollably Fond. The cast overall was well picked with my favourites Jung Hae In (as the adorable and charming Woo Tak who won my heart in a matter of minutes) and Kim Won Hae who did an superb job as Detective Choi! I loved the people in the prosecutor office – how they bicker and fight and stand with each other when it’s needed! Hong Joo’s mom war likable and also Jae Chans brother and his girlfriend – those two seriously need their own drama apart from Page Turner – are enjoyable characters. What I always liked about Lee Jong Suk – and I’m not even a fan – is that he is really good at delivering comical moments! You just laugh about him or feel second-hand embarrassment! Lee Sang Yeob was also convincing (and I like this actor in general) but I wished the script gave us more of him. Maybe a little bit more background story.
Music:
Was good. I like the soundtrack. Funny enough I never realised that Suzy was a decent singer – although I knew she was an idol. I liked almost all the songs. The arrangement of music and scenes was also well made. The music helped a lot in getting the viewer in the right emotion.
Rewatch value:
I’d probably watch a few scenes again. But I don’t think I would watch the whole drama again. Not because it was not good but for me it was an enjoyable ride but it’s okay that it’s over. Maybe it’s only because I just finished it a days ago. But as of now I’m good with what I saw and focus on other stories to see :)
Overall:
It’s a well-made drama with a lot of romance. But funny enough at some point the romance was not even what I was mainly interested in. I mean I liked Hong Ju and Jae Chan together and I had never a doubt that those two were meant to be – but maybe that’s exactly why I enjoyed their scenes, but I was even more happy to see all of our side characters having their moments. The chemistry of all those people in their own circle – Woo Tak & his adorable Sunbae / the prosecutors and their teams! Detective Choi just with everyone!! – was so amazing that I was basically smiling as soon as they appeared on my screen in all their adorableness. I think rather than the main romance and all those cases in that drama the chemistry of the cast did the most to me! I fondly remember them and those were probably the moments I would rewatch. I just loved how much they cared for each other, how they joked with each other and fought for what they thought was right. There were also some episodes that addressed social issues in Korea which was also really nice. So, I can say, if you want to watch an adorable cast with great chemistry, a story that maybe could give you more but did still a decent job and a lot of hilarious as well as some heart-wrenching moments, I’d recommend “While You Were Sleeping”.

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.

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.

Historia perfectamente enlazada
Amo esta serie, la volví a ver hace unos días. La historia esta muy bien armada, los personajes me encantaron, hasta el malo es muy buen actor, realmente lo odie, jajaja. No quiero contar nada, ya que la historia es muy bien armada. Hay cosas que me acordaba diferente y ahora que la volví a ver entendí mejor. Hay miles de flashbacks, Todos muy bien puestos, necesarios para entender la historia. Si yo la contara ahora, no seria ni justo porque mi memoria es lineal y no esta contada tan lineal, y cada recuerdo se cuenta en el momento justo para entender otras cosas. Los tres personajes principales, los ame, son geniales, su amistad, su conexión, por ellos la volvía ver, y seguro en un tiempo mas la veo de nuevo. 100% recomendada.Was this review helpful to you?

Um drama muito bom e diferente
Um drama Super memorável, não é uma história tão comum e desenvolvimento do casal é um pouco lento mas muito fofo e envolvente. A história apenas é perfeita, nunca vi um drama tratar de assuntos delicados e ao mesmo tempo meio polêmicos dessa forma. Por exemplo quando o homem batia na mulher e etc, nunca vi um drama desenvolver bem com essa trama. O elenco é perfeito com certeza os melhores atores e que atuaram muuuito e são muito lindos e perfeitos e memoráveis. Já o final é um final muito bom porém inesperado já que contém a morte do coadjuvante ( ele era meu fav pooxa) enfim, muito triste , porém o casal terminou junto e muito lindos. Esse dorama é tudo de bom, tanto história como elenco as ost são perfeitas e o desenvolvimento muito bom. Jung hae in arrasou dms apenas isso, ele sempre pegou papéis meio nhe mas esse foi um dos melhores que ele atuou em minha opinião. Enfim, um dorama muito bom assistam demaissss.Was this review helpful to you?
Ti stavo cercando
Era da tempo che non vedevo un drama così bello!!Mi ha ricordato un po' Pinocchio, un drama crime/thriller romantico. Questo con un pizzico di fantasy. Io non amo particolarmente questo genere nei drama (almeno finora in 1 o 2 mi hanno entusiasmato) ma qui non mi ha affatto disturbato, anzi è risultato addirittura piacevole.
Gli attori mi sono piaciuti tutti tantissimo, i protagonisti su tutti: lui già visto e amato in Pinocchio appunto, lei in Start Up (my love). La storia è sempre bella e coinvolgente e ho una enorme voglia di rivederlo. Non ho molto da dire perchè l'ho amato, ho amato ogni singolo istante. Davvero, davvero stra consigliato.

Porque más que una historia de amor, de drama, de suspenso. Esta serie me dio mi sueño, me otorgó la determinación que necesitaba para confirmar que esto es lo que quiero hacer el resto de mi vida, esta profesión es lo que siempre he soñado y solo ahora lo entendí, estudio Derecho y siempre me incliné por ser fiscal, pero ahora es mi sueño y Sé que la realidad no es tan color de rosa, y que no siempre las cosas pueden salir bien. Pero mientras guarde mi pasión y jamás olvide el camino correcto, y mientras JAMÁS OLVIDE AL FISCAL JEONG JAE CHAN y lo que él me enseñó, entonces haré lo correcto... Esta serie liberó a mi mamá de una culpa que la acosaba desde que por negligencia médica mi abuela murió, mi mamá se culpaba por no haber podido evitarlo y gracias a esta serie, ella entendió que no era la culpable y eso es muy importante para mí, para mi futuro, mi visión. Soy feliz de haber encontrado tan bella y magnífica serie, me hizo reír, llorar, morir del susto, gritar de admiración y excitación. Una serie que muchas más personas deberían ver, no me cansaré de recomendarla. Amé CADA UNA de las cosas que pasaron, el final fue sencillamente estupendo, el escritor de esta serie merece el más grande respeto, verdaderamente siento... QUE ESTE DORAMA MARCÓ MI VIDA. Aquí estaré repitiendo la serie una y otra vez. FINISH 1: 21/04/2019 - 5:10 am.
Una banda sonora tan cuidada y maravillosa! Descargué todas las canciones y siento que voy a llorar de nostalgia cada vez que las escucho, ya me la he repetido 3 veces y solo busco más doramas del actor Lee Jong Suk. ESTOY TAN ENAMORADA. RECOMENDADO AL 100%

Quand les rêves dictent le destin...
J’ai vraiment passé un excellent moment devant ce drama ! 😍 Il m’a embarquée dès les premiers épisodes avec son concept original autour des rêves prémonitoires 🌙💭 Un vrai mélange de mystère, de suspense et d’émotions qui fonctionne à merveille 👌🏻L’alchimie entre les trois leads est tout simplement incroyable 🔥💕. Chacun apporte sa touche à l’histoire, la tendresse, l’humour ou encore la tension dramatique. Je les ai trouvés hyper justes dans leur jeu, et franchement attachants 🥹
J’ai aussi beaucoup aimé la construction du récit avec les flashbacks, les visions du futur, les rebondissements bien placés... Je me suis pas ennuyée une seconde 😮💨, et ce petit grain de romance vient saupoudrer le tout sans jamais prendre le dessus🫰🏻
En plus, visuellement, c’est très beau... La mise en scène est soignée, la bande-son colle bien à l’ambiance un peu onirique du drama 🎶✨
Bref, "While You Were Sleeping" c’est un savant mélange d'émotions, de tension et de douceur, avec des personnages auxquels on s’attache rapidement.
Si vous cherchez un drama original, touchant et prenant, n’hésitez pas une seconde 😌💖
