Sorry for the late post on newly arrived SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping but in between watching the first episode and then having tickets to Hamilton last night, it was a sensory and entertainment awesomeness overload. I love While You Were Sleeping, love love love it! This is the first drama since Goblin that has roped my excitement … Continue reading →
This Wednesday is the arrival of highly promoted SBS pre-produced drama While You Were Sleeping, teaming up for the third time screenwriter Park Hye Ryun with her most often used male lead Lee Jong Seok. Even if this drama is a hit I think this ought to be it for these two, Park Hye Ryun has had a good run … Continue reading →
I’m feeling a completest mode when it comes to keeping up with the next SBS Wed-Thurs drama While You Were Sleeping, following so intently from the very beginning last year when it was announced that Lee Jong Seok was going for his third go-around with screenwriter Park Hye Ryun. Now it’s T-minus 6 days to go until the premiere and … Continue reading →
I gotta give screenwriter Park Hye Ryun credit for not being a one-note pony, her dramas manage to toggle humor, romance, and seriousness without being weighed down by any one element. I’ve seen the former two in previews for While You Were Sleeping so far but this is the first time the third element has made a material appearance in … Continue reading →
It’s rise and shine time soon for SBS drama While You Were Sleeping, not just over a week away from premiering as Reunited Worlds finishes its run this week in the Wed-Thurs slot. This will hopefully be third time’s also a charm for screenwriter Park Hye Ryun, who has delivered for SBS on the Wed-Thurs time slot two previously successful … Continue reading →
There’s going to be lots of dreaming or narrative reality moments in upcoming SBS drama While You Were Sleeping, with a leading lady who can see the future in her dreams and needs the help of the leading man to stop tragedies from happening. Just don’t make a romantic breakthrough moment a dream feint and I’ll be happy, I hate … Continue reading →
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. It was fully pre-filmed but unlike another pre-produced drama Uncontrollably Fond which was filmed in winter but aired in the summer so all the visuals were wonky with it being boiling outside and the leads swathed in great coats and scarves, … Continue reading →
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 →
I thought filming wrapped over a month ago for September SBS drama While You Were Sleeping but the wrap party was held this past weekend so maybe there was residual filming left for this fully pre-produced drama. I’m just glad filming really is done now that news is out of male lead Lee Jong Seok getting his military enlistment notice … Continue reading →
Now that Reunited Worlds has premiered on the SBS Wed-Thurs time slot it means the pre-filmed While You Were Sleeping is on deck. The drama will take over from Reunited Worlds in early September and with it show whether screenwriter Park Hye Ryun of Pinocchio, I Hear Your Voice, and Dream High can create another memorable work. In While You … 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 →
