Still Obsessed With While You Were Sleeping? These Top Korean Dramas Bring That Same Dreamy Energy!

There’s something magical about While You Were Sleeping. The blend of romance, mystery, and fate — with just enough fantasy to make you wonder “what if?” — struck a chord with viewers all over the world. The chemistry between Suzy and Lee Jong-suk was electric, and the idea of dreaming about someone’s future felt like poetry.

If you still find yourself rewatching scenes or humming the OST, you’re not alone. That dreamy, slightly surreal, totally heart-fluttering vibe isn’t easy to find… but we’ve got you covered.

Here are 12 top Korean dramas that bring the same kind of energy: a mix of destiny, love, and moments that make your heart skip a beat.

1. He Is Psychometric (Fantasy, Romance, Mystery)

If you're into the whole "I can see the future (or the past) by touching someone" kind of plot, this one hits the mark. A young man with psychometric powers teams up with a guarded woman to solve a mysterious case — and maybe fall in love along the way.

2. Doom at Your Service (Fantasy, Romance, Melodrama)

A woman cursed with a terminal illness accidentally summons a god of destruction. It sounds intense — and it is — but it’s also stunning, emotional, and full of aching beauty. The visuals, the romance, the themes of fate… all top tier.

3. I Hear Your Voice (Romance, Legal, Supernatural)

Lee Jong-suk shines here too, as a boy who can read minds. If you loved him in While You Were Sleeping, you'll absolutely adore this. It’s packed with courtroom battles, emotional twists, and an epic slow-burn romance.

4. Hotel Del Luna (Fantasy, Romance, Supernatural)

Imagine a ghost hotel run by a moody, stylish CEO stuck between life and death. Now add a handsome human manager, unresolved regrets, and stunning visuals. The love story here feels otherworldly — in the best way.

5. Abyss (Fantasy, Romance, Crime)

Two friends come back to life in different bodies after dying in mysterious ways — thanks to a strange orb from the afterlife. It’s quirky, odd, and strangely romantic. Not perfect, but definitely entertaining and full of dreamy vibes.

6. The King: Eternal Monarch (Fantasy, Romance, Parallel Worlds)

Another Lee Min-ho fantasy drama where he plays a king from an alternate universe. He crosses worlds and falls for a detective. Time travel, sword fights, and swoon-worthy declarations of love? Yes, please.

7. Extraordinary You (Fantasy, School, Romance)

A high school girl discovers she’s actually a side character in a comic book. What follows is a sweet and clever story about rewriting fate, falling in love for real, and choosing your own story. Surprisingly deep and definitely dreamy.

8. Start-Up (Romance, Business, Fate)

No literal magic here, but the vibes are there. Suzy returns in another role that blends ambition, emotion, and destiny — and the love triangle is genuinely tough to choose from. Inspiring and heartwarming with that same soft romantic tone.

9. My Love from the Star (Fantasy, Romance, Sci-Fi)

An alien stranded on Earth for 400 years falls in love with a superstar actress. This one’s iconic for a reason. It’s the kind of drama that makes you laugh, cry, and believe in love beyond time and space.

10. See You in My 19th Life (Fantasy, Reincarnation, Romance)

A woman remembers all her past lives — and in this one, she’s determined to reconnect with a man from her previous life. Beautiful, wistful, and full of longing. The emotional depth here is so satisfying.

11. Kairos (Thriller, Fantasy, Time-crossing Romance)

12. Tomorrow With You (Time Travel, Romance, Slice of Life)

A time traveler tries to change his tragic future by marrying a photographer. What starts off as strategic slowly blossoms into something real. Understated and emotional, this drama hits the “what is fate?” theme hard.
