While You Were Sleeping was the better movie here. Everything about it was wonderful.

I never thought about it but yes you're right. Basically the same story but told differently. I love both of them though.

But I wouldn't call Connie middle class. I mean she's lived off of people her whole life and when she was alone she couldn't make it.

I watched both today. I wanted to watch While You Were Sleeping but mistook it for this movie. I enjoyed both movies.
