The female leads in both the dramas are weirdos .

The male leads of the both the dramas are prosecutors . They act tough in front of everyone but are actually dorks .

The male & female leads of both the dramas meet each other through a fate .

Both have a lots of comedy but deal with serious cases at the same time .

The scenes of the tragedy are the starting points for both stories. The heroes have superpowers but they still need to learn how to use them in oder to to prevent crime.

While the storyline is different, the dramas give off the same vibes.

Both feature foresight/changing reality
Both have a touch of mystery, action and romance
Both have Lee Jong Suk starring as the male lead

Female lead is a reporter and male lead is a lawyer. There are supernatural elements which help with investigating cases (WYWS has main leads that can see the future while Meet Me has leads who share a time travel apartment). The romance moves relatively fast. The fate of the female lead is also a crucial mystery.

They have a very similar feel to them (e.g. dreamy, fantasy aesthetic). Main leads are connected by some kind of "fate", and they are capable of changing the future a little. If you liked Goblin, you might like While You Were Sleeping. Also, both dramas can be a bit slow (Goblin is slower in my opinion.)

Both "While You Were Sleeping" and "Lovely Runner" share a central theme involving the supernatural ability to foresee future events. In "While You Were Sleeping," the characters experience prophetic dreams that show future incidents, allowing them to attempt to prevent these events from happening. Similarly, "Lovely Runner" features characters who can travel back in time to alter events in an attempt to prevent future tragedies. As with "While You Were Sleeping," this creates a paradox: their actions in the past intended to change the future can either fail to prevent the event or cause it to happen in a different way. The very act of trying to change the future by modifying past events can lead to a fixed timeline where the future remains unchangeable despite their best efforts.
If you enjoy thought-provoking stories with engaging characters and intricate plotlines, both "While You Were Sleeping" and "Lovely Runner" are worth adding to your watchlist.

Both stories have the theme of seeing a part of someone's future (the bad premonitions/deaths), meeting a person who interrupts what's "normal" and "unchangeable" to them, and being able to change fate.

Healthy relationship between male lead and female lead. The unconditional trust for each other and they continuously to give each other encouragement as they face their own problems. There are a lot of mental support in both couples.

"I Saw You in My Dream" and "While You Were Sleeping" both feature characters who foresee future events through dreams and work to prevent disasters. Both have strong romantic subplots, explore fate versus free will, and maintain suspense as characters race to change the future.
"I Saw You in My Dream" and "While You Were Sleeping" share several similarities:
?Both dramas involve characters who foresee future events through dreams, aiming to prevent disasters they see.
?Central to both is the effort to stop the tragic events predicted in their dreams, combining investigation and intervention.
?Strong romantic storylines develop alongside the main plot, with relationships shaped by shared supernatural experiences.
?Both explore fate versus free will and the ethical dilemmas of foreseeing the future.
?Both dramas maintain suspense and tension as characters race against time to change foreseen outcomes.

in TWY the future can be changed here the past can be changed thus uncertain ending for the main leads.
Recommended by ParkSunWoo
Both are mystery-ish dramas about the lead(s) having the ability to foresee someone's death and their attempts to prevent it.
Recommended by emeraldarrows
Both has the same screenwriter
Both has the actors Hwang Young Hee, Shin Jae Ha and Kim So Hyun (Guest Role).
The Kim So Hyun character really is looks alike in both dramas, She is a pianist and She has some kind of relationship with Shin Jae Ha character, it's references from Page Turner.
The relationship mom-son (Cha Shik's Mom- Cha Shik) in Page Turner is alike the relationship mom-daughter (Nam Hong Ju's mom - Nam Hong Ju). The son/daughter is a little crazy and the mom is lovely and supportive the son's problems.

Similar vibe. Lead has special ability that helps with solving crimes. Watching While You Were Sleeping reminded me of The Girl Who Sees Scents
