I’ve been writing quite often
now. So, I’m currently watching ‘While You Were Sleeping’ and honestly, I don’t
have high expectation from it. Maybe it was just another ‘typical Lee Jongsuk
Drama’ but still, Lee Jongsuk was my first actor crush after watching ‘I Hear Your Voice’
and that drama is still on my No. 1 best drama ever so I decided to just watch
it. I mean, I’ve watched a lot of Lee Jongsuk’s drama and I just love all of
them. Most of his dramas were really good and I trust his type of drama.
So while watching this drama, I can’t
help but feeling amazed by every scenes, every cases, every characters they portrayed.
It’s like, the sequel for ‘I Hear Your Voice’, the sequel that I’ve been
waiting for years. I don’t know it’s Lee Jongsuk or SBS that made the drama
awesome, but their combination is the best. There’s other dramas like ‘Hello
Monster’, ‘The Girl who Sees Smells’ and ‘Yongpal’ that gives similar vibes to
typical Lee Jongsuk Drama (I hear your voice, Pinocchio, Doctor Stranger, W),
where every episodes has different cases and I can’t help but being curious of
the case and it never fails to blow me away.
There’s this one case that I still remember for
‘I Hear Your Voice’. They were twins arrested for murdering after robbing a
store. One twin claimed that he didn’t know his brother would kill the man. So one
became suspect and one became witness. While investigating, the lawyer got to
know that the twins actually planned for it, they were accomplice. So the lawyer
decided to work with the prosecutor, claimed the twin to be guilty, and used
the other twin’s testimony to act as evidence against him. They got both twins
arrested. The chief said, “You did well today, but today you were not a lawyer,
you were a prosecutor”. You know the difference? Prosecutor put the suspect in
jail, but lawyer save the client regardless whether they did the crime or not. It’s
the lawyer’s responsibility to protect their client. If the criminal was
released despite committing the crime, it’s the prosecutor’s fault, and not the
lawyer despite the lawyer knowing the client did the crime.
Then this one case in ‘While You
Were Sleeping’. A famous person (woman) died and nobody has come to her house
except for one guy who came to fix the internet. He became the prime suspect. Everyone
is preparing to punish him, but there were no evidence of him killing the
woman, but there were also no evidence that he didn’t kill the woman. While the
prosecutor tried to indict him, they couldn’t find any evidence to proof him
guilty. But the whole nation wanted that guy to be punished. It would be easier
for the prosecutor to indict him, but if he’s innocent, then the prosecutor
should prove his innocence. Because prosecutor doesn’t belong to any side but
the truth.
So this has actually corrected my
perception of prosecutor. And of course, I’m blown away by the case and how
they solve it. Watch it if you’re curious because it’s really a long case.

innocent people into criminals” – Park Dae Young
