The ratings lead has turned by what would normally be the 4th episode of While You Were Sleeping, as Thursday’s airing in the second week of premiere overtook the time slot leader Hospital Ship which has been on top since it started airing. Episode 7 and 8 of While You Were Sleeping got 7.9% and 8.9% AGB ratings and Hospital Ship’s episodes received 7.1% and 8.3%. Thursday is still the Chuseok holiday which explains why both dramas ratings seem down in general but did rise from the very low Wednesday airing during the holiday that is all about family time and traveling and playing games at home. Sleeping continues to be my ultimate jam, I’m eager to watch the latest episodes because I want to how how the leads Lee Jong Seok and Suzy can change the future disaster of their dreams, and in the course thwart baddies in a way their teenage selves couldn’t do to save their own dads. Even better is having a third member of the dream-seeing reluctant justice league with Jung Hae In who plays as adorable a character as Suzy’s charming female lead.

I had no idea that the handsome police dude would end up being the second lead. He's good.
Yea he is good, way better than the lead, if I may say so. Way to go, kid!
Yes, I noticed that too. He’s better than the lead actually. All the way from his looks to his more natural style acting. I also think that Park Hye Ryn’s best drama has been IHYV. This drama is still okay, but it has so many illogical parts and nonsensical outcomes and the characters are way too unrealistic for my taste to fully take it as it is.
@prettyautumn you speak my mind.
i am going to miss KSH cameo in this. she did really well here.
if only all korean drama can be creative like this one. I never win any guessing game in this drama everything seems so fresh.
Time has come that WYWS is leading its timeslot, come on. Given the hype and expectation plus it is written by one of the many kdrama fans fave writer.
while HS has only HJW and a bunch of babies though they could act actually they will have a bright future, so it is expected that WYWS will soar high with LJS and Suzy star power.
Fighting for these dramas, coz i love both of it. WYWS for the thrill, intensity, with a touch of fantasy, while Hospital Ship tells the story for our real struggles, a slice of everyday life that will warms up your heart. I am following both, it balances my state the fantasy and reality drama.
I'm not really surprised with all the publicity they made and LJS and Suzy have a great star power.
But I'm not very fond of WYWS. I'm very curious about how works their power but I don't really like the comedic part and neither the romance. The law part was disapointed too. I mean it was too much how the husband could escape of his crime, the fabricated proof, etc. The character of JHI is a mystery for now, we don't how he's linked to the soldat's incident that seems to be the link between them (and he's so cute :D. He chose well the dramas that will be famous between WYWS and Goblin!)
I was happy in the last episode of Hospital Ship, we could see scenes with the two leads, it was missing in the last episodes. I like the relationships between the different characters (with her father, the oriental doctor and the death of his brother, KMH with his alzheimer father, the boat crew, etc)
I rolled my eyes so hard when the police took Jae Chan’s little brother like that and how the show was implying that he’d be charged with murder (or manslaughter). The supposed humor part is also so unnatural and forced. Hong Joo is supposed to be 88 born woman in her thirties and she’s still acting so immature and she obviously looks like 23 years old. Some of the lines are disappointing too like how it is so embarrassing for a woman to make a first move.
And how the heck did that abusive husband get away with all that abusing? I’m not familiar with South-Korean law but here where I live, the prosecutor can prosecute an assaulter even if the victim chooses not to press charges (this is a new change in law, before rape and abuse crimes used to require the victims desire to press charges here too), so Korea needs to change this law asap.
Many countries have laws that are unfair such as this. S.K is actually more progressive compared to the countries that require you marry your rapist.
No system is perfect especially when it comes to Money and gender.
Even the in the U.S many frat boy/Jocks with rich daddies can get away with rape or assault, if not maybe a slap on the wrist.
@Lolol
Yeah, you can’t expect progressiveness any time soon from theocratic countries that observe wahhabism. One country just made it legal this year for women to drive cars (but still with husband’s or other male guardian's permission and behind a face covering veil of course). And no, niqab and burqa are not required in Quran.
America on the other hand is another type of hypocritical country with a lot of misogyny. Women really don’t have a free choice there and rape laws are straight from the 50s. As someone who lives in Europe in a country with the most progressive society and education system and of course equal rights and women’s equal position in society, we’ve also had that spousal rape law for only 20 years. Korea definitely need to change their laws, like they did when Gong Yoo’s Silence came out (about child molestation and abuse)
I like both drama, HS is more lukewarm which is okay. WYWS is more, for me it makes me smile seeing the characters interact on the screen, so far great chemistry between all characters, and I do like Suzy in this drama, this character suit her, or you can Suzy suit her character, it feels natural. I have loved LJS in Pinocchio and I hear you voice there is something in the way writter write the story and the characters that is my cup of tea. Can't wait until next week to see both dramas
let's just agree that wyws is a pretty damn good drama.
I am holding off on WYWS until it has completed half its run. I'm sticking with Hospital Ship though it's just okay. I really wish they had them on the ship and going around the islands because the story stalls every time they go to the hospital. I actually think the two leads have a sweet chemistry together. Too bad the writer can't resist a silly love triangle and the standard psycho ex-girlfriend.
I'm watching both dramas. HS is classic and the romance part doesn't really matter. WYWS, full of no senses but easy to watch . I still prefer Age of youth 2 .
I can't feel this drama despite the hype and the rave reviews. It gave me the same feeling like Goblin. Something just not clicked or maybe I was spoilt by the masterpiece acting of the leads of Live Up To Your Name that I feel the actors' performance here are below par. I am so not enjoying WYWS.
@OMG.
I do have the same opinion with you.
Can't finished Goblin as well.
Live Up To Your Name easily beat all the drama which aired 2017 so far.
Best Drama with Best acting from both actors.
Live Up to your Name is the best rom-com this year, definitely not the beer drama.
True. The acting on Live Up to Your Name is just on another level. There's something about senior actors that just take their projects up another notch compared to these younger actors. I mean a couple of them are actually good but I just prefer the mature actors more.
