I’m not feeling as much K-drama audience excitement for upcoming pre-produced SBS drama While You Were Sleeping, not sure if it’s due to the leads or the general lack of excitement in K-drama viewing habits. I have faith in screenwriter Park Hye Ryun, her previous works have all been substantively excellent with an ability to write in a fantasy element … Continue reading →
It’s here, the first teaser for the highly anticipated (by me!) SBS Wed-Thurs fall drama While You Were Sleeping.

September is here which means the countdown to the arrival of SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping is less than 30 days away. This is one pre-filmed drama that I’ve been following along with consistently since it was announced earlier this year, solely for male lead Lee Jong Seok and also his third reunion working with screenwriter Park Hye … Continue reading →
Celebrities get their personal decisions pored over by fans much less career ones so it’s no surprise to hear the backlash after K-actor Lee Jong Seok updated that he will be asking for a postponement of his military enlistment.

In While You … Continue reading →
Another one may be headed off to the military in what has been a steady drumbeat of enlistment in the last three months alone. Actor Lee Jong Seok has received his military enlistment notice for August 10th which is right around the corner, and his agency confirms the notice but Lee Jong Seok has not determined whether he will enlist … Continue reading →
The dog days of summer are here and I could use both an iced coffee and some happy news. There’s both from the production of SBS pre-produced drama While You Were Sleeping, which finished filming recently and male lead Lee Jong Seok shared a cute update this weekend when he posted an SNS update about his good friend Yoon Kyun … Continue reading →
Whenever I see fan snapped pictures of Lee Jong Seok and Suzy filming fall 2017 K-drama While You Were Sleeping I get throwback vibes to Heirs. I doubt this drama will be as buzzy as that 2013 hit but the pre-production trajectory has been the same vibe to follow, with fans catching the leads filming in outdoor locales and the … Continue reading →
The filming work is done for high profile K-drama While You Were Sleeping as it finished production months in advance of its air date. Starring Lee Jong Seok and Suzy, the drama now gets a late September air date on SBS and will have the next three months to slickly finish post-production work.

Filming continues for summer SBS drama While You Were Sleeping, and from the looks of it entering the second half of the narrative based on the scenes glimpsed from lucky passerby footage.

Hopes are high, and usually that’s where dreams go to die but I’m inclined to give this one a shot at bringing in viewers.
