Storyline

Mok Hae-won (Park Min-young) struggles to live in Seoul as a cello teacher. She returns to her hometown at Bookhyun Village and meets her neighbour Im Eun-seob.

Hae-won and Eun-seob were once classmates in high school. Eun-seob is now a bookstore owner of Good Night Book Store and he organises a book club which gathers the people in the village with same interest.

After getting know of Eun-seob, the cold Hae-won begins to feel warmth for the first time. Together, the pair starts to heal each other of their own past hurts.

My View

A drama about love, forgiveness and healing. Though WTWIF looks like a simple romantic drama, it is about friendship and family's love. 

It is about acceptance, how you decide to let go, open up and embrace others.

After watching tons of crime and thriller dramas, those slow-paced lovely dramas calm me down.

I truly enjoy every moment of this show.

Team leader Do Jung-woo (Namkoong Min) heads the special team of Seoul Metropolitan Police agency together with inspector Gong Hye-won (Kim Seol-hyun). 

FBI investigator Jamie Leighton (Lee Chung-ah) has been invited to join special team as well. They are trying to track down serial killer Moon Jae-woong (Yoon Sun-woo) who has been making the victims commit suicide by having lucid dreams.

All of the victims play a part supporting a foundation in experimenting serum of immortality. They use young children below 14 years old as test subjects at White Night Village. 

However, a tragedy happened one night where everyone killed each other in the village. A few children manage to escape and survive until they are adults. Now they are plotting revenge against those evil scientists and members of White Night foundation.

My View

The idea of killing people by making them have lucid dreams is somewhat creative to me. It's like one is unable to differentiate between reality or fantasy.
