While You Were Sleeping - Chapter Three

Read on AO3

Excerpt:

“I’m not engaged,” Inara insisted. “I’ve never even spoken to the man!”

“But downstairs, you said ...” Bethany’s frown went from confused to mildly censuring. “You said you were going to marry him.”

Inara’s mouth dropped open. She couldn’t deny that, she had said it. She just hadn’t expected anyone else to hear it, much less take her literally.

“Oh, nugstuffers .. I was talking to myself,” she admitted, running a hand through her hair once again.

Bethany winced in understanding.

“Well, next time you’re talking to yourself,” she suggested, “tell yourself you’re single and end the conversation.”

While You Were Sleeping isn’t just a drama. It's a comfort, a lifestyle, and the oxygen you breathe. It’s an art, a love that feels home, and an escape from reality. It's everything you ever want and need.

It has been always nice meeting you, Jung Jae Chan and Nam Hong Joo.

!!! Warning: Spoilers Ahead !!!

While You Were Sleeping is a great romance drama starring Lee Jong Suk as Prosecutor Jung Jae-chan, Bae Suzy as Reporter Nam Hong-joo, and Jung Hae-in as Police Officer Han Woo-tak. I decided to give this drama a try since I’m a big Lee Jong Suk fan and love watching romantic dramas, I would definitely re watch this drama.

The drama focuses on the power trio, Jung Jae-chan (Lee Jong Suk), Nam Hong-joo (Bae Suzy), and Han Woo-tak (Jung Hae In) who have the power to see the future through dreams. This power is shared if the person avoids death and is saved by Nam Hong-joo. Since Jung Jae-chan and Han Woo-tak are saved by Hong-joo in their own ways, they are able to gain the power of seeing the future of the person they were saved by. 

With this power, they assist each other by saving one another from death and/or certain situations by using their dreams while assisting Prosecutor Jae-chan in taking down the antagonistic and corrupt lawyer, Lee Yoo-beom who is played by Lee Sang-yeob.

(+) I absolutely loved the balance and integration of side arcs, they felt so natural and contributed to the story to further the plot. Like how Jae-chan and Yoo-beom are connected by their childhood past, showing how messed up Yoo-beom is. As well as, how Hong-joo and Jae-chan are connected to Investigator Choi Dam-dong, played by Kim Won-hae, who is the older brother of the soldier who killed their fathers. Not only do these character arcs further the story, it develops gives the depth of the characters and makes you more attached to them. 

To add on, not only are the side arcs great but how natural the incorporation romance and legal drama, the story doesn’t feel awkward or choppy when mixing the two very different genres but WYWS seems to get this down pretty well. 

(+) Not only is the power trio so great, consisting of powerful (and very hot) characters but the supporting cast was also very likable. I loved the whole Prosecutor team, Woo-tak’s partner in crime, Nam-joo’s mother, and Jae-chan’s younger brother - they were a great supporting cast. It’s more I love how the characters are designed and of course, but its all due to the actors/actresses’ effort and talent. 

(+) Besides the plot, I absolutely loved the soundtrack! I learned that Lee Jong Suk sang two of the songs (“Will You Know” and “Come to Me”) and not to mention Bae Suzy’s songs are amazing. Sometimes, drama soundtracks aren’t extensive and tend to be repetitive sometimes but WYWS had great music cues and I like listening to the songs even when I’m not watching this drama.

(+) A great love triangle between the power trio, it’s not destructive and since Jae-chan and Woo-tak are hot and great characters, you can root for either of them. (side thing: Actor Jung Hae-in looks like Tadashi from Big Hero 6 if you watched that lol) Although Woo-tak doesn’t get with Hong-joo, he is very supportive of Jae-chan and Hong-joo relationship and he continues to be friends with them to the very end. Even though Woo-tak is literally the best, he deserved better. 

(+) Lastly, the ending was amazing. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted from a drama, as it was tied up great. WYWS doesn’t play the horrible ‘child trope’ but focuses on the happiness of all the characters and how they really end up in the near future. I don’t want to spoil the whole ending, but just know I personally think it’s great.

(-) Some moments between Hong-joo and Jae-chan are cringe, but they’re amusing and it mostly happens at the beginning of the show. 

I don’t have many complaints about this drama; the cast, plot, and soundtrack are all amazing. After reading this review, I hope this convinces you to watch this drama because it’s definitely a great one to pick up.

TL;DR Overall Review: 10 / 10 Plot: 9.6 / Acting & Cast: 10 / Music: 9 / Rewatch Value: 10
