 While You Were Sleeping is a predictable, generic romantic comedy, but I can't deny that it had me smiling and laughing throughout the entire movie. I enjoy the fact that the romance develops between Lucy and Jack in a gradual, charmingly natural way. During the time Lucy spent with Jack’s family, it was easy and natural for them to get to know one another. While You Were Sleeping also avoids the cliché of an argument that ends with a kiss. Lucy and Jack actually get to know each other throughout the movie, and their love for one another is blind until she’s at the alter with Peter and confesses her feelings to their whole family. In my opinion, because Peter was in a coma and the audience didn’t know anything about him except his name, it was easy to want Lucy and Jack to fall in love.
