SBS Confirms 2017 Drama While You Were Sleeping with Lee Jong Seok and Suzy Directed by the PD of Doctors

• What the hell! Where does Suzy get all this backing from? And does she have some kind of deep desire to prove she can act? She's ruined 2 of my previously highly anticipated dramas and she just wants to keep going. Now the drama team has to write the drama around her to suit her acting limits, and the other cast members have to work harder to compensate, just like in UF, I can only hope it works this time, but seriously, idols are ruining the industry. Call me biased or whatnot, but based on what they've given us recently, I refuse to give them any more chances to prove their acting abilities. Just write her character into a coma and let her wake up in the last episode, that would be perfect.

  • +1

  • hahahahahahahahaha@character in a coma.....wouldn't that work out for all US!

  • Ditto for me. Actresses should already be good to begin with and not mediocre STILL after several leading roles. And it is such a shame because there are other talented actresses and even other idols that never get headlining roles or the opportunity to work with talented writers because of favoritism like this. If an idol MUST be cast, I'd rather see a newbie get a chance, rather than one who has not really improved after several times. I definitely agree that casting like this is ruining the industry. I really want to support Korean dramas as there have been some wonderful productions and drama writing. But all the hard work and effort among the crew and cast goes to naught with just one weak link. :(

  • Its not like there aren't any young actors out there who can perform well, yet they are hell bent on shoving idols who can't act down our throat, I mean why?? Did nobody ever see Jung So Min or Nam Ji Hyun or Kim Seul Gi or Go Ah Sung or Han Groo(she is pregnant but had to mention her) or Kim Ji Won or Jo BoAh........I mean come on.

    • Agree. All of those actresses are amazing and better than Suzy.

    • All theses actresses should get an opportunity too. She just finished one drama ,can't she go on a hiatus for a while ? I have nothing against her but i just wanted to see a new actress.

    • @Gem - yeah, why are girls like Jo Bo Ah and Kim Seul Gi being wasted in second lead roles?!

      I bet whichever actress is cast in second lead for this drama, will be more talented than Suzy but their role will be written to look like a bitch. It's an insult tbh.

    • Good point. I want to see more of Kim Seul Gi and Jo Bo Ah, Kim Ji Won too.

    • Aw ppl mentioned Jo BoAh. Yeah i wonder why? She is pretty and can act, very versatile. I am wondering if casting in K ent has much to do with connection and agency poweŕ.

  • Lol....so true. ..she definitely ruined the highly anticipated drama UF ...

  • Oh My God! True

  • Frack, frack, frack. Stop ruining highly anticipated Kdramas for me, Suzy, you empty vase. Argh.

  • Suzy only knows how to rely on big name actors to get in the ratings... Gong Yoo, Lee Seung Gi, Kim Woo Bin and now Lee Jong Suk. Too bad KWB couldn't save her bad acting and UF flopped. Let's just hope she would be put into a coma like KTH is Yong Pal, so that this drama would not flop.

    • Even her movie with ryu seung ryong (who's in miracle in cell no.7) was a big big flop

  • +1,000,000

  • I hate Bae Suzy coz of her I didn't watch woo bin oppa first lead drama after ruining him she doesn't want to stop she wants to ruin Jong suk oppa jeez I won't be able to watch any of jong suks or woo bins drama ever again, Bae Suzy's got some guts.

    • Jeez, I hate jong suk more for accepting to act with her, I'm so not watching this drama I didn't waste my time of UF so I'm also passing this.

• Le sigh. So disappointed with Suzy as female lead, but hopefully the writer can pull something off by creating a character that Suzy will kinda capable be able to embrace (like with Dream high). Although I would so much rather have the writer create a character freely without having to tailor it to a limited actress and instead have a talented actress to really make the character her own. Meh, so many talented actresses out there why does she keep getting cast all the time? She better not ruin this drama for me!

  • So agree with you, I was really looking forward to this drama, but now I don't know. Hopefully this will pay off and we get an awesome drama all around, story, characters and actors that can make their character their own. I think just like I have been doing for the last round of new dramas is to wait a few episodes in to see if I want to start watching.

  • she's ruined it for me just by being casted...geezzz dissapointed much! smh

  • Agreed. Now I'm happy to let it go. See u next time LJS ?

• Does she has a sponsor or huge back up behind her? Why do she keep being casted opposite popular and big star? Even netizens not favour of her acting despite she does have a pretty look

• Did Lee Jong Seok not learn from his Doctor Stranger experience? No more "foot acting" leading ladies! It is actually painful to watch him trying to act next to these women. I like Park Hye Ryun's dramas (and he clearly does too), but great writing cannot cure terrible acting. In Suzy's other drama under PHR, her character was actually written to have no expression. That made her Dream High role palatable to me, but you can't pull that trick twice!

  Taking bets:
  Who will be the better actress between Jin Se Yeon and Suzy?

  • unfortunately neither both of them are null.

    maybe the director and production house cast her because she's good looking and blah blah but i am not her haters. i am a fan of miss A but i will not shield her for her crappy acting. She better do something with her acting. She should improve her acting skill. Even her aegyo in UF was so blergh.

• I am very dissapointed with the decision she had. has she ever learned how to reflect because she already ruined UF. Even woobin admitted he would reflect and do something with his acting skill and learn it again. i mean cmon, there are so many good actress with great acting skill but this is gonna be worst. sorry, sukkie, since doctor stranger, i always get dissapointed with your drama :(

  • God, until when you guys going to quote what KWB said all around wrong. Let's get it straight. 1. He never apologized for drama being disappointment.
    2. He merely showed consern that he hopes he met everyone's expectations about his acting.
    3. He only apologized that he couldn't return with new drama sooner and he is sorry it's not a "happy" character.
    4. But he learned so much on the set of UF about emotions, that he himself treasures memories about filming a lot.
    Trashy journalism and blind quoting of people who twisted his words made him stop writing letter to his fandom, when he used to do it once in a month. I guess you all happy that you made poor guy feel uneasy and apologetic for the stuff that he never wrote and never intended to say.

• S.M.H while also praying to the Drama Gods....please Suzy do not ruin another drama....

• We should have known that director and production especially the writer have a nitpicky with the actress. they might find this drama will get popular without looking for the quality. even so sorry, i could not finish legend of blue sea and i gave up in episode 2 because it's still the same recipe they gave to us.

  okay i am so done ranting

• Just looking forward to male lead and the writer...

• And here I was thinking I could rely on Suzy to reject the offer.

• After UF she should take her time to learn how to act instead of receive another offer. People still have fresh memory how her terible acting in UF and in the next few months they might have to see that again. Sigh

  • However people tend to forget her bad acting because of that face. With pretty face of her, she would be forgiven for her crappy acting. Sighhhh

    • The funny thing is netizen only comment about how beautiful she is without mentioning her acting. From episode 1 until finish they only comment about her face. Come on, It's a drama, not a beauty contest.

    • Tru tho @tita...sometimes i just want her to just being a singer and model where she's good at.
