The criminals that Yoo Beom defends are more standard villains, and the drama became a bit repetitive when it cycled through one of these bad guys after another, falling into a familiar pattern of our characters dealing with the latest case, dreaming about some related danger, and then saving each other from this danger. The Three Flying Dragons, on the other hand, choose to always diligently to stick to what they know to be right, at times even putting their careers at risk, in their desire to do good. But he’s a good foil for our main characters, and through this contrast the drama shows how the choices people make impact those around them. Self-centered Yoo Beom never cares about how his decisions affect others, and ends up having to lie and fabricate, digging himself a hole that eventually becomes way too deep to climb out of. Yoo Beom is admittedly confusing as a villain it would be a stretch to say he’s full-blown evil, because we do see signs of his self-loathing for defending some truly vile people. Little details can make drama characters come to life, and it’s a credit to the show’s writers that “While You Were Sleeping” is rife with these humanizing elements, like Lee Yoo Beom’s ( Lee Sang Yeob) nervous habit of rolling up bits of paper when he’s thinking. And while none of the characters presented particularly challenging roles to play, the actors were well-suited to their parts in a way that really made them shine. How do you like our list?
