While You Were Sleeping

CriticsCritics: 74
AudienceAudience: 7.0

A lonely transit worker rescues a commuter from the tracks, then gets mistaken for his fiancée while he lies in a coma. As his warm, eccentric family welcomes her, she becomes increasingly drawn to his skeptical brother, making the misunderstanding harder to navigate.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like gentle romantic comedies with quirky families, cozy holiday warmth, and funny misunderstandings; Not for you if you prefer grounded plots, sharp-edged humor, or romance without sentimentality.
