And here we go again with another edition of the promising Korean dramas for the month. Romance seems to be the genre of October and with festivals around the corner, it looks like a perfect treat for fans.
Lee Jong Suk-Suzy starrer "While You Were Sleeping" and Seo Hyun Jin-Yand Se Jong starrer "Temperature of Love" are the two mesmerising dramas that are on air currently. "While You Were Sleeping" narrates the story of a 29-year-old unemployed ex-journalist, Hong-joo (Bae Suzy), who can see unfortunate events in her dreams, and her relationship with a prosecutor, Jae-chan (Lee Jong-suk) who does everything he can to prevent the woman's dreams from coming true.
On the other hand "Temperature of Love" is a family drama with parallel stories intertwined with each other. The plot revolves around an aspiring screenwriter (Seo Hyun Jin) who develops an online relationship with a chef (Yang Se Jong).
