Celluloid Verdict
Park Hye-ryun's precognition premise could easily have collapsed into gimmick, but the show keeps its stakes human — Lee Jong-suk and Bae Suzy make the moral weight of foreknowledge land, and the courtroom cases give the fantasy real teeth.

What is While You Were Sleeping about?
Nam Hong-joo wakes from dreams that show her disasters before they happen, and quickly learns that knowing the future is a burden rather than a gift. When a rookie prosecutor moves in across the street and starts dreaming the same warnings, and a young patrol officer joins the pattern, the three begin racing to rewrite outcomes they were only meant to witness — with a predatory lawyer always one step ahead of them.
