“While You Were Sleeping†is steadily approaching its air date!

 

With just five days left till the SBS drama’s premiere, the production staff revealed three key points that viewers can anticipate in the drama.

 

1. What if you could foresee the future? The start of a compelling story

 

In the world of “While You Were Sleeping,†there’s always a moment of regret with every tragedy that happens. The drama poses the question, “If there was a person who could dream of those future tragedies, would we be able to stop those events?†Through a variety of stories, the drama will explore whether knowing the future can help us change it. With a lot of sad and frustrating incidents that are wearing people out in today’s society, the drama will be telling a compelling story of people who work hard to prevent tragedies from happening.

 

2. Director Oh Choong Hwan’s sensible direction and visual style

 

A lot of people are anticipating director Oh Choong Hwan’s style of directing as he heads this project. So far, the director, who previously worked on the drama “Doctors,†has been hyping up the drama with every teaser that has been released. The events shown in the latest teasers portray the drama in a very interesting and picturesque way.

 

3. A gathering of young and fresh actors

 

“While You Were Sleeping†has been gaining attention as it is Lee Jong Suk and Suzy’s first time working together. Even just the still cuts of them have been receiving great interest. Not only that, actors Lee Sang Yeob, Go Sung Hee, Jung Hae In, and Shin Jae Ha will also be starring in the drama. According to the production staff, the actors had very strong teamwork and could not stop laughing together during filming.

Meanwhile, “While You Were Sleeping†is coming exclusively to Viki on September 27!

On September 22, the cast held a Naver V App broadcast in a waiting room ahead of their official press conference. Lee Jong Suk, Suzy, Lee Sang Yeob, Go Sung Hee, and Jung Hae In came together and discussed a variety of topics, one of which was ratings promises.

When asked what they think the ratings for their drama will be, Lee Jong Suk replied, “I think we’ll get an average of 15 to 17 percent in ratings. And I think we’ll be able to surpass 20 percent at one point during the drama as well. There’s going to be a kiss scene in episode 11, and I think that’s when we’ll break the 20 percent mark.†Suzy added, “I can’t really decide, but I want to at least let it be known that I hope we reach 30 percent,†while Go Sung Hee estimated they’d hit 17.5 percent.

 

With their hopes for ratings set, the cast was also asked what they would do if their goals were met. Jung Hae In said he’d hold a free hug event while Go Sung Hee replied, “I’ll wear my prosecutor’s outfit and dance in the middle of the street.†Suzy also said she would dance, but didn’t go into further details.

soompi:

 

On September 22, the press conference was held for much-anticipated SBS drama “While You Were Sleeping.†Director Oh Choong Hwan was in attendance along with the actors Lee Jong Suk, Suzy, Lee Sang Yeob, Go Sung Hee, and Jung Hae In were in attendance.

 

“While You Were Sleeping†is about Nam Hong Joo (Suzy), a woman who sees future events in her dreams, and Jung Jae Chan (Lee Jong Suk), a prosecutor who tries to stop the negative events in her dreams from happening.

 

The actors were first asked why they chose to star in the drama. Lee Jong Suk previously worked with the writer Park Hye Ryun on “Pinocchio†and “I Hear Your Voice,†so working with her again was enough of a reason to choose the drama. He has absolute trust in her and believes, “The best choice I have made in life was meeting her.â€

 

Suzy worked with Park Hye Ran, as well, for her acting debut with “Dream High†and wanted to work with her again. She received the script and loved it, so she decided to choose the project. Lee Sang Yeob, Go Sung Hee, and Jung Hae In all shared that they were great fans of the writer and director. Lee Sang Yeob also met the director on “Doctors,†and he wanted to take on a new challenge with a different kind of character.

 

Suzy has been growing her hair for years, but she cut it very short for this drama. When she was asked how she made the decision, she commented, “You’ll see in the drama, but short hair is a very important aspect for the drama, so I did it without hesitating.†She added, “As it is not easy to grow out long hair, people around me were concerned and asked if I’m okay. However, as my hair was long for a long time, I was able to focus more on the character with short hair. It’s really characteristic of Hong Joo.â€

 

Lee Jong Suk, Go Sung Hee, and Lee Sang Yeob were asked about any special effort they put into their prosecutor and lawyer roles. The actors and production team met with people who actually have those occupations to create scenes that are as realistic as possible. Lee Jong Suk and Go Sung Hee also both worked hard on their diction, as neither of them usually speak very clearly.

 

As Suzy’s character sees future events in her dreams, the actors were asked about what they wish they could see in their own dreams. Suzy expressed her curiosity for how long she will live, explaining that she would have to live even more diligently if she doesn’t have a lot of time left. Lee Sang Yeob shared that he wants to know who he will marry so he could begin treating her well right now. Lee Jong Suk and Jung Hae In do not want to see any future events in their dreams, commenting that it would not seem pleasant.

 

“While You Were Sleeping†is coming exclusively to Viki on September 27!

On September 24, SBS broadcast a short preview of their upcoming drama with Lee Jong Suk and Suzy, “While You Were Sleeping.â€

 

In the preview, Lee Jong Suk and Suzy gave a short interview where they talked about each other and what it was like filming. Suzy said, “In the drama, [Lee Jong Suk’s character] represents hope to me, so I fall for him easily. He’s a cool person to fall for and I liked acting it out.â€

 

Lee Jong Suk said, “[suzy] is a lovable, charming girl so I was able to be excited every moment acting a melodrama with her. Wouldn’t you say she’s the greatest actress of our time? She’s beautiful.â€

 

He added, “I had a scene with Suzy at the beach and she came running up to me and it was very refreshing and pretty.â€

 

The actor also had a funny story to share from the beach shoot. He said, “When we were filming by the sea, the staff all said ‘this is the last time’ and told me to drop Suzy into the water. But Suzy grabbed my neck and hung on so I had to fall in the water with her.â€

 

“While You Were Sleeping†will be coming exclusively to Rakuten Viki and is slated to premiere on September 27 KST.

SBS’s upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama “While You Were Sleeping†revealed shots from an intense scene in new preview stills!

 

In the photos, Jung Jae Chan (played by Lee Jong Suk) is trying to stop Nam Hong Joo (played by Suzy) from falling off a rooftop. Jae Chan slowly approaches Hong Joo step by step while extending a placating hand. Meanwhile, Hong Joo looks like she’s given up on everything with her pale face, red eyes, and dazed expression.

 

However, despite Jae Chan’s efforts, Hong Joo’s expression becomes resolved, and she falls backwards.

On September 26, upcoming SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama “While You Were Sleeping†released stills of Suzy in character as Nam Hong Joo.

 

The released stills reveal a lot of tension and determination in her character, with the first still showing Nam Hong Joo in the bathroom and looking desperate as she has a fistful of hair in one hand and scissors in the other.

In the second still, her mother (Hwang Young Hee) grabs her by the arm and looks saddened as she looks into Suzy’s eyes with tears welling up.

 

The third still shows the two embracing as Nam Hong Joo clings to her mom and sobs her heart out.

 

In the last still, Nam Hong Joo’s mother seems to be asking her what the matter is as she gazes off into the distance, with half of her hair chopped off unevenly.

The stills further raise anticipation for “While You Were Sleeping,†which is a drama about Nam Hong Joo, who can see bad things that happen to people in her dreams before they happen, and prosecutor Jae Chan (Lee Jong Suk), who does everything he can to prevent the dreams from becoming a reality.

 

A source from the drama stated, “For this scene, Suzy, who had been growing her hair out since her debut seven years ago, unhesitatingly cut her hair. She had that much passion for her character Hong Joo.â€

“While You Were Sleeping†has released new stills!

 

As the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama starring Lee Jong Suk and Suzy approaches its premiere, the production staff has released more stills as well as what viewers can look forward to in the first episode. Check them out below!

 

1. Hong Joo’s daily life as dreams become a reality!

 

Hong Joo (Suzy), who is currently unemployed, has the ability to see events through her dreams before they happen in reality. Her dreams can either be showing her what will happen five minutes into the future or what will happen in a far-off event. Hong Joo can also dream about other people’s dreams. And while she does have happy dreams, she also dreams of terrible misfortunes. As her dreams are not constrained by a specific time or law, viewers will be able to see the interesting process of how her dreams come true or how they are different from what happens in reality.

2. A strange man appears in her dreams

 

In the first episode, Hong Joo has a dream where she sees herself running towards a strange man that she’s never seen before and hugging him. The morning after the dream, she sees Jae Chan (Lee Jong Suk) and his younger brother (Shin Jae Ha) handing out rice cakes and greeting their neighbors after moving into the neighborhood. Despite the latest teaser showing Hong Joo being surprised and hiding from Jae Chan, many viewers will be able to see how the dream of her hugging Jae Chan will end up happening in reality.

3. The start of an exciting story

 

“While You Were Sleeping†is set to convey a variety of moods as the show has elements of suspense, romance, and more. The first teaser hints at the upcoming events that will happen to Hong Joo and Jae Chan, while the second teaser shows a preview of their romance. The third teaser shows the relationships between Jae Chan, Hong Joo, and Yoo Bum (Lee Sang Yeob). Many viewers are also curious to know more about Suzy’s character and her ability to see future events through her dreams.

 

The production staff stated, “‘While You Were Sleeping’ airs its first episode today. The production team and the actors have worked really hard to present the viewers with a good project.â€

 

Meanwhile, “While You Were Sleeping†is coming exclusively to Viki on September 27!

okay, I just watched the first episode. damn everything is good- cinematography, plot, and characters, I would rate it 10/10.

For those who live in Singapore, Malaysia or Indonesia and have access to ONEtvasia, the channel airs the same time as in SK.

storyline spoiler below, open with caution

holy crap, most of the scenes I saw in the trailer made sense now. I'm surprised that not only Hong Joo (Suzy) can see future events through her dream, but Jae Chan (Jong Suk) as well. It seems Jae Chan ability is far more extended because he dreamed of why Suzy killed herself during the rooftop scene, meanwhile Suzy dreamed only a part of it. I expect Yoo Bum (Sang Yeob) will be the main antagonist as he has a bad history with Jae Chan.

spoiler alert, too...

 

 

 

yes, such a plot twist when the whole scenes turned out to be jae chan's dream! that's their hidden card because no one had mentioned about it! excited how the storyline will go because they put almost everything that they teased (to promote this drama) into these first two episodes already.

 

that just-ice parts... and when jae chan's bro guessed the genre of his dream tho... XD

 

 

 

 

I watched the first episode and it was amazing! It gave me the same feels as Goblin but with a different storyline. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

 

reminds me of w (jongsuk's previous drama), but with a more romantic vibe <3

 

 

Anyone know about the rating so far? I'm so nervous I hope it will have a high rating and become a national hit drama.

 

not yet... still around 5 am in korea~ let's just hope for the best; responds are good so far~

I watched the 1st episode and I am already mind blown. The directing, acting and plot are all extraordinary. This whole drama feels unreal, its on another level. Goblin feels all over again, beautiful quality- I really thought I was watching a movie. I hope all the best for WYWS!

So impressed by the drama 2 first episode. As expected of the writer who wrote some of my top list drama especially I hear your voice 

 

 

so amazed by the plot twist Jae Chan is amazing already wasn't expecting he could dream about the future too 

I cried when Hong Ju's life was falling apart so glad it didn't happen that way. And I hope Suzy will have her mom with her until the end

Just finished watching both ep 1/2 and damn it was good. I'm amazed by the quality and the cinematography of the drama it's really stunning.

 

And Suzy needs to get a pat on the shoulder cause girl, her acting has improved. When she was crying I felt it.

 

More in spoiler:

 

Yoo Beom is such an ass. My jaw dropped when he framed and blamed the accident on Hong Joo. Then when her aunt was explaining what happened to her mom ugh.

 

But the plot twist tho. Didn't expect Jae Chan to have dreams as well. Happy the events were turned around.

 

One thing that was awkward was the last scene where Hong Joo was slow motion walking towards Jae Chan I couldn't keep a straight face lol. Other than that I give this drama a 10. Hopefully, the episodes to come will keep on topping each other. Love it so far anticipating the next epS!!

 

 

By the way who sings the OST is it Crush??
