She spends a delayed Christmas with the family so "they can get to know each other". An orphan with few friends, she becomes so captivated with the quirky Callaghans and their unconditional love for her, that she cannot bring herself to hurt them by revealing that Peter doesn't even know her. At first Lucy is too caught up in the madness of everyone's panic to tell the truth, and after that she is too embarrassed to. Peter falls into a coma and she accompanies him to the hospital, where she fantasizes aloud, "I was going to marry him." A nurse overhears her and, misinterpreting the situation, tells the head physician, a policeman and Callaghan's family that Lucy is his fiancée. Working on Christmas, Lucy witnesses Peter being mugged and pushed onto the tracks, and she rescues him from an oncoming train. The highlight of her days is selling a token to a handsome commuter, Peter Callaghan ( Peter Gallagher), on whom she has a secret crush. Lucy Eleanor Moderatz ( Sandra Bullock) is a lonely fare collector on the Chicago elevated railway.The synopsis below may give away important plot points. The situation will only get more complex when Peter comes out of his coma and the truth necessarily comes to light. The proverbial triangle grows into a square when Peter's unofficial fiancée, snobbish Ashley Bartlett-Bacon, reenters the scene. Out to prove she isn't who she says she is in Peter's life, Jack instead starts to fall for Lucy, who, in turn starts to fall for him. The one person who can't see Lucy as Peter's type is his older brother, Jack Callaghan, who initially believes she is perpetrating a scam of some sort. Beyond their concern for Peter, his family is overjoyed about Lucy in believing she the conduit to bring Peter back into their lives. And Peter can't correct the misunderstanding in still being in a coma. She doesn't have the opportunity to correct them when his tight-knit, working class family arrives, they, who don't see him often in he being the proverbial black sheep in living his high living, superficial life, only assuming the same about Lucy and Peter. In Lucy accompanying him to the hospital, the hospital administration, in a misunderstanding, believes he, highfalutin lawyer Peter Callaghan, and she are engaged. When she sees him being mugged on the station platform on Christmas morning, he lying unconscious on the tracks as a result, she, in an act of heroism, saves him from being run over by an oncoming train. The one bright spot in her life is seeing the same handsome, well-dressed man come through her booth every weekday morning, she in love with him despite not even knowing anything about him, including his name. Regardless, she carries around her never used passport "just in case". She inherited a sense of wanderlust from him, but she has never had the opportunity to go anywhere, her current life looking like that much wanted travel won't be happening soon.

Sure, it might be less painful to stop looking at pictures of them, but who really wants to do that when the cast is so cute? Looking at pics of the cast and getting sad and happy (all at the same time) Accepting that you’ll never get over While You Were Sleepingĩ. Claiming you’re done with K-dramas FOREVERĨ.

Oh gosh, someone get me the tissue box, I’m tearing up.ħ. Thinking you’re okay but then tearing up at random thingsĭreams. And hey, I’ve heard the saltiness of your tears makes the flavour of the food even better.Ħ. "Oh hey I found a really cool new K-drama to –"īecause that’s the only stable thing in your life that you can really depend on to make you feel better. Trying to run away from any more emotional attachments Googles ‘how to keep functioning when you’ve got a black hole of despair in your soul’.Īnd no, saying "all good things must come to an end" at this stage in the recovery process is probably not advisable.Ĥ.

Will anything ever be able to make me feel the way While You Were Sleeping did? Probably not. Spending next week in a state of hopelessness How else do we cope with not seeing Hong Joo and Jae Chan being dorky, or our absolute bae Woo Tak every week? Crying a river is expected and completely justified.Ģ. The gaping hole of emptiness has already begun forming, and it’s just a taste of what’s to come. Here’s how dealing with the end of While You Were Sleeping will play out (RIP us). The final episode of While You Were Sleeping aired this week and it’s.not okay. Like, how could it all just end?
