To be honest, at one point I felt that the story was getting a little boring. But as a person who watched all 7 seasons of Once Upon A Time (an American TV series), I wasn't surprised at the twist and turns in this drama.

Both stories had the same concept; the difference between reality and fiction and what happens when both world clashes each other. Though it got messy and complicated after 1st few episodes, if you got a hold of the concept, its not very hard to understand and it'll make so much sense.

I was only able to finish watching this drama for Lee Jong Suk oppa. When I finished watching 'While You Were Sleeping', I thought I should give one of his other dramas a go. So far, W is my 4th drama of his.

I've nothing against the female lead (I sort of forgot that she was in the movie 'Always' and she was my fav in that movie) or the character (Oh Yeon Joo) but at some point during the last few episodes I felt that they were force feeding the romance and there was lack of chemistry between them. It was very cute in the beginning episodes. Personally I kept repeating those scenes again and again but during the ends of the drama, you can see its too forced and robotic once he entered the real world. They had so much potential to keep it going, but why did it went downhill? And some of the characters were shadowed by the main characters and their forced romance. The writers could have formed a better story line for Yeon Joo's father and two of Kang Chul's friends.

Overall, keep an open mind while watching this drama as it will keep you on your toes with its unpredictability. The anxiety and suspense kept me going.

Also, can I just take a moment to tell y'all what an angel Jong Suk is. I doubt he's a man made creation. My goodness, how can such a hot, sexy and cute person can ever exist. You know when they say 'find a man who can do both', well Jong Suk is the ultimate definition of it. His smile, oh God, there wasn't a moment I never swooned for his smile. So in love with him, I really don't know what to do with my life.
