I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed While You Were Sleeping. I found the premise and storyline captivating - it really kept me guessing, and had me gasping at the end of each episode. I couldn't not click on "next episode" immediately. That's all I'll say about the storyline because I don't want to spoil anything. Perhaps certain elements started to feel repetitive towards the end, but overall, I found the story very well-crafted.
This is the first drama I've seen Lee Jong Suk in (well, I watched Secret Garden but I have no memory of his role in it) and I really liked his performance. His character was not what I expected - he was so goofy with his selfies! It was very endearing. As for Suzy, her character initially made me cringe a little but she grew on me. What I really enjoyed were all the supporting characters, Woo Tak, Jae Chan's brother, and especially Jae Chan's colleagues and their own storylines. There were so many beautiful moments there. Jae Chan and his brother had a lot of hilarious moments. There was a solid villainous character, and no love triangle.
I'm not sure that I'd rewatch (but then again, I RARELY rewatch anything, there's so many new shows to watch) but this is definitely be on my list of dramas I recommend. And I will be looking for another Lee Jong Suk drama to watch, sorry I've overlooked him for so long...
