While You Were Sleeping
당신이 잠든 사이에Checked and re-read
The most watchable half of a great drama. Three people dreaming each other's futures, a rookie prosecutor trying to prevent crimes he has already seen, and a first half that is structurally clever and beautifully shot. Then it settles into a case-of-the-week legal show with a stalker who reappears whenever an emergency is required, and the final ten half hours are stretched thin. Lee Jong Suk and Bae Suzy are good and the supporting trio around them is better. Watch the first sixteen with confidence and the rest with a lowered bar.
Nam Hong Ju, endowed with the ability to foresee events, resides with her widowed mother who runs a small restaurant. Despite her gift, she often finds herself powerless to change the outcomes. On the other side of the street, Jung Jae Chan, a rookie prosecutor, and his younger brother Seung Won become their new neighbors. An unusual dream involving Hong Ju, ruthless attorney Lee Yu Beom, and a life-saving intervention leads Jae Chan to realize their destinies are intertwined, as they begin sharing dreams and connecting in mysterious ways.
Hooks early Episode 2, once the three of them realise they are dreaming the same futures.
