While You Were Sleeping

[seichan]

While You Were Sleeping 1-32! the end. kdrama! is unrelated to the Bill Pullman/Sandra Bullock movie. This is about characters who dream about the mostly-near future. A young reporter, a young prosecutor and nice-guy, third wheel, young policeman are interconnected through their dreams and try to help each other solve mysteries, prevent potential crimes and/or prevent heartache. I enjoyed the fact that this show was broken up into 30 minute mini-episodes rather that full hour-long ones and the fact that they used this format for some quite good cliffhanger moments. Hong Joo has been dreaming most of her life and feels helpless to change things. Jae Chan moves in next door, and they find they have similar dreams. Batman-loving-nice-guy, Woo Tak, gives them the prodding that they need so they try to take action in changing their futures. There's an evil lawyer lurking throughout the show and some bad guys who create trouble. ~8/10 rating~ As with other dramas that base their shows on some sort of sci-fi element, this drama doesn't delve into the laws of these dreams, but hey, it lures you in with the wtf-kery dreams and the characters that are adorable enough that you root for them anyway.
