Disagree with Suspicious Partner since I enjoyed it a lot (though I can see why some people might not have), and I haven't seen any of the others, but I don't ever plan to watch W from what I've heard.
Popular dramas I dropped/couldn't get into include: Goblin, Descendants of the Sun (though more due to the pacing/type of drama), The Heirs (the male lead was really forceful/abusive, I had to drop it), Heartstrings, Playful Kiss, The Bride of Habaek (the only redeeming point was that it looked pretty visually), and The Legend of the Blue Sea.
Currently only watching While You Were Sleeping and enjoying it so far, but considering also picking up either Mad Dog, Witch's Court or Black... for those watching any or all of those 3, I'm curious to know how you'd rank them to help me decide?
Glad that Jae Chan finally confessed, but not-so-glad about that ending dream sequence... I'm also still trying to figure out Woo Tak's relation to the policeman that Hong Joo and Jae Chan saved in the past, since I'm almost 100% certain they're connected or related somehow. Perhaps brothers?
Whilst I wanted to be relieved at the ending of ep 12 (and appreciate how lovely the OST is at the same time), I was so worried about Woo Tak... it really pained me to see him be so brutally injured. What if he saw the events in his dream and swooped in to help her anyway? Ugh... I'm feeling the second lead syndrome kick in... Please tell me our Batman cop is okay.
Is this any good? Your opinion? Keep in mind....I hate Lee Jong Suk's face ... makes me irksome..... somehow his…
I started with a similar opinion to you. I wasn't expecting to like this because I've always found LJS to be too unnatural/weird looking (?) but I've surprisingly warmed to this drama. His looks aren't too distracting, and the plot and the premise of the story is what makes it worth the watch. The music is enjoyable and the acting isn't bad either, it's pretty decent. Overall a pretty solid drama so far.
As someone who is a fan of Lee Jong Suk's acting, I don't know why I'm smiling knowing that there…
That's the case with me, though I haven't seen any of his previous dramas purely because the plots haven't seemed to be my cup of tea... I usually get bored easily in a drama if I'm not invested into the story/characters, so I admit I'm quite picky with plots. But I like this one, so I picked it up. I like what I've seen so far (eps 1-6).
But we'll see, haha... I mean, I was convinced I wasn't going to be a fan of Ji Chang Wook initially as I had the misconception he might just be overhyped, but I quickly became a huge fan of his acting/charisma and now he's my favourite actor.

That's not to say I don't like him or find him to be a bad actor, but rather that my opinion of him at the moment is neutral as he has yet to really stand out to me. Prior to watching While You Were Sleeping, I've only seen him in No Breathing (which I did enjoy as a whole, and liked his interactions with Seo In Guk's character) and 7 First Kisses, which isn't really enough to judge from.
I like the plot of this drama, it has good potential and I didn't think the first eps would impact me as much as they did. The cinematography is really pretty too, and I like what I've seen so far, so I will keep watching.
Let me start by saying I'm probably one of the few who is watching purely because the unique premise/plot intrigued me a lot, and because I needed something to fill the void that I've had since Suspicious Partner ended, rather than because I'm a fan of any particular actor (I began with little expectations of Suzy as I usually am skeptical of idol actors/actresses, and Lee Jong Suk always seemed kinda weird looking/unattractive to me and didn't really stand out to have much charisma from what I've seen of him).
I admit that this drama surprised me, after giving it a chance. I didn't expect to like it enough to want to (warily) continue watching, although it's still early days as I have only seen the first 4 episodes. There's a lot of potential and I'm enjoying the cinematography too, so I only hope they keep it up and don't let me down in later episodes, though I'm still keeping my expectations relatively low to avoid disappointment.
Honestly... neither of them kept my interest for long enough to get past the initial episodes. I think it's just a matter of personal taste. The visuals were good but I found myself getting bored.
I'm emotional... I'm going to miss this drama a lot. Surprisingly found the last few episodes satisfying even though there were slight disappointing parts, but I found myself enjoying it a lot overall. Props to all the cast, especially Dong Ha for his performances and also our main leads : )
Looking forward to Criminal Minds (I'm really excited to see how LJG pulls off this role) and also Bride of the Water God despite not having seen the original adaptations of either series.

Actually... that's a lie. I'm going to wait for the DVD release and then enjoy the drama all over again (and the bonus content) haha...
On another note, guess who's been replaying JCW's OST track on loop? Totally not me : )
