Reviews
Review by Nova984 No need to worry about losing your time binge-watching another stale drama, why? Because this drama is going to have you at the edge of your seat. It has the perfect flourishes that make a drama a definitive must-watch! What does it have to its favor? An overarching central mystery? Check! Nail-biting cliffhangers? Check! Astonishingly brilliant special effects? Check! A heart-wrenching dramatic romance? Check and mate!
Lee Jong Suk reaffirms once more what a good actor he is in While Were You Sleeping, long gone are the days of his debut in 2010's Prosecutor Princess, all thanks in part of While You Were Sleeping scriptwriter Park Hye Run who has found her perfect leading man for a couple of dramas she has written previously, 2013's I Can Hear Your Voice and 2015's Pinocchio. Lee Jong Suk's range as an actor truly shows in his performance as Jung Jae Chan, a cold-hearted person who during the course of the drama reveals his most buried inner-feelings to Bae Suzy's character Nam Hong Joo. Both of them are megastars in South Korea and as this drama proves it without a shadow of a doubt, they are a match made in heaven. Quite a coupling indeed.
