Singer-actress Suzy has been cast in the title role of a new SBS series about a clairvoyant woman and a prosecutor who fights to stop her dreams from becoming a reality, the drama's production company said Monday.

Suzy, a member of girl group miss A, will star opposite Lee Jong-suk in the series tentatively named "While You Were Sleeping," according to iHQ. In the drama, Suzy will play a woman with the ability to see accidents and mishaps before they happen in her dreams. It will be her first TV series since she played a brazen documentary producer in the KBS romance "Uncontrollably Fond" earlier this year.

The new series, set to air sometime next year, will be written by Park Hye-ryun of the popular series "Pinocchio" and "I Can Hear Your Voice," and directed by Oh Choong-hwan of "Doctors."

Fuck no
The there are so many talented actresses who have never had a lead role in a drama yet Suzy keeps getting cast.
I love Lee Jongsuk so I hope it is good, Pinnochio lost steam in the second half of the plot so I hope the writer is back in top form.

Yeah I really don't get it either. There are heaps of talented actresses out there, but they always have to keep casting the likes of her/yoona/sohee etc and always in lead or second lead roles. I can never understand - well I probably do. The "visuals" whatever trumps any genuine acting talent. No wonder the quality of k-dramas are getting worst..
Also, while i liked Pinocchio for the first 8 eps or so i couldn't finish it either. But I don't expect much from K-drama writers these days. =/
