For a story that looked like a mess it fell into place beautifully and satisfyingly. I do think some parts of the story were unnecessary and were just added and thrown away for the sake of moving the plot forward. But I think their chemistry is just on another level that it you want to ignore the plot holes/open ends and makes you want to see them deeply in love and nothing else.
The main leads' acting is pretty mid, everyone else stands out and seems interesting compared to those two. Call it second lead syndrome or whatever but both the second leads' acting was miles ahead of these two and they felt much more expressive. The story is also the average cliché school/college drama but it is to be expected I guess. And so many people told me(on discord....🙂) that is was their favourite drama and how good it was, maybe it was just because of the cast or it was their first school drama. You can still have fun watching it but just don't expect it to be the needle in the haystack you were looking for.

I loved this one so much. After an hour of scrolling through netflix looking for something to watch I decided to watch 'because this is my first life' only because the title looked stupid but to my surprise I binged it in under 2 days and now I want to watch more dramas like these. It felt very similar to a jdrama I watched recently called 'perfect world' idk why but it felt very similar in it's atmosphere and the only similarity in the stories were they are both pretty mature love stories yet very different. Maybe that's just me. This was the an amazing watch even though I stumbled upon it on accident.
Same, but what are the big plot holes? Because I am searching the comment section and I can't find anything. And…
Like there is no world building they just throw you in and government and military are non existent, an extremist group is allowed to do whatever they want and nobody is stopping them. A cult is allowed to show deaths on national tv and spread their propaganda. Stupid when you think about it.
ngl I just went in braindead without any expectations, it was fun. I only noticed all the big plot holes after looking through the comment section, but I dont think that matters because I had fun and I dont want to discredit the show on that part. Just go in without any expectations, much easier to watch this show.
I quiet enjoyed this one. I was binging through Bae Suzy's dramas to see if I actually like any, this by far was her best acting (imo) in the ~4 dramas of her I've watched. When I looked at the title before watching it I thought I was going to be another one of those cheesy romance dramas and I was putting to the side for too long. After watching it I can say it was really good and romance probably isn't even the main/defining genre for this drama. It has a some fantasy, romance, thrill, mystery, great acting and a solid story to back it all up. 'While you were sleeping' is worth giving a try.
I have to say, as much as I hate so many things about this show it is still one of my favourites. It's not like I gave it a very high rating or it excels at anything. I might watch it again next year. I feels like I'm a masochist to be liking this show so much.
Why did I think watching it again would be any less dreadful. The show could have been like 8eps max and could've ended up so much better in it's quality but I'm back again at watching +20hrs of pain. The best part of the drama was the ost/the score, I just loved the vibe even though it was playing over a dumpster fire.
Their acting was so good! The movie was so feel good and lovely even though the story was mediocre at best. I enjoyed it a lot, you should watch it if it's 2am and you don't wanna sleep but also don't want to start a 16ep series.
From ep 10 onwards idk how the writing went to shit then hot garbage, I really hated Jin-a character in the last 5-6 eps. The story was so good until ep9, even though it was cheesy as hell it at least gave me the warm fuzzy feeling. this would have done good as a feel good mini series. But here I am 2 years later ranting about it.
