O Tempo Traz Você pra Mim

I don't know what should I say. This series stuck in my head now. Truly speaking I enjoyed this drama. Before I start, I've never watched the original Taiwanese version that everyone seemed to enjoy, so this is my view on how I watched the drama without knowing the original plot. I was so excited when Netflix announced this show and cast the artists who are my most favourite.

First for all I want talk about characters. Ahn Hyo Seop, Jeon Yeo Bin, Kang Hoon are main play the lead roles. They are play very well and their performance is so natural and wonderful. Especially Jeon Yeo Bin, Yeo Been does a fantastic job of understanding the character and delivering as both Jun Hee/Min Joo. Ahn Hyo Seop and Kang Hoon friendship chemistry is so good . I love them so much.

A truly gripping story that keeps you hooked throughout all the episodes with lovable characters, great acting performances by the cast and a beautiful OST that adds that something extra. A rollercoaster of emotion. They brought me laughter and sadness. It's make me cry a lot .

I'll totally recommend this drama to anyone and I'll add it to my 2016 list of best dramas released . All the actors did a great job .

It's a solid 10/10 for me .

For the best watching experience I'll suggest you watch it on 1.5x speed but watch it on normal speed when the main leads hyo seop and yeo been are together in a scene.

Their chemistry is everything and more .

Six episodes in right now and this is a terrific show. Enjoying each one. I almost didn't make it past the first two tough, they were slow and confusing but it gets better incredibly fast. The acting is very good, writing is great, and the mystery is intriguing. Time travel here is done differently than I've seen before which is a good change of pace. As it's checking all these boxes it's also sets a theme that's important- being positive is a choice and your internal perception of the world can truly influence the energy of those around you and keep you from achieving the things you want in live. Worth the watch, give it a shot.

Amazing. Love the romance, love their time travel story, they take us into the story, every episode is very exciting and interesting. The ending of the story was very satisfying and unpredictable.

The moral message of this drama is very interesting, sometimes it's not the people around us who avoid us or don't want to be with us, but without realizing it, our lack of self-confidence and having too high expectations of other people makes us stay away from them.

The difference between kwon min ju and han jun hee is that min ju is a person who is not confident, shy, hesitant so she stays away from his friends and family but he hopes his friends and family approach her while jun hee is a confident, cheerful person so she is loved by everyone. Si Heon can see their differences from their eyes, this is what is called the eyes are the window to our soul.

This drama is fiction but the moral of the story is real.

It is difficult to not compare this with the original but I watched it with an open mind. I did find this to be a good take of the original but it lost a lot of the great things the original have.

For me...

• It failed to build the solid and profound relationship between the male leads. It really wasn't as meaningful as the original.

• Things are more spelled out in this version. The dialogues explain what is going on. The original version on the other hand compels the audience to put the puzzle together because clues are definitely there. The audience becomes more of the mystery-solvers.

• Some of the characters, though existed in the original, did not play a role in the drama (ie. The brother)

• They reduced the adventures of the teens. The adventures of the original shows a before and after situation - and that changes the characters. Because this version had less of it, it is very weak in setting a distinction between two characters. The distinction was instead made in the dialogues (spelling it out)

I like that the drama stayed true to the original for the most part. But its weaknesses were the removal of the some of the greatest aspects of the original. There's a lot going for this drama, and it could have been better - it being a remake. It just didn't dig enough as profoundly as the original.

I am a huge fan of the original masterpiece (Taiwanese) version of this remake and I have to say, if you watch this with the other one in mind you will be greatly disappointed.

But if you watch this with fresh eyes or you aren't interested in the original you will find this one entertaining and enjoyable and filled with lovely moments.

Best thing of this remake was hands down the female lead, Jeon Yeo, her capacity of transforming herself into the two personalities (Jun Hee & Min Ju ) was amazing, I was in awe every time I was watching her one or the other you could tell who was who immediately! Really good performance.

Not that impressed by the male lead, I watched him in a lot of dramas ( 17 going to 30 my fave so far) and he is a great actor, but I am not sure if this was how his characters were written, or because of the consequence of the time travel and the mix of the personalities, the two characters were so similarly played (Yeon Jun & Si Heon) I could barely tell them apart.

The romance of the drama is good and is a big focus of the series, I felt the chemistry between the leads and it was quite enjoyable for me to watch this remake with this actors as well.

Time travel arcs of the series, along with the crime, thriller and suspense ones , had some holes and some parts made no sense at all, so it gets to a point that you just keep watching and go with it. That was a bit frustrating.

Overall and I say it again, in my opinion you will only be able to enjoy this drama if you don't compare it to the original OR you haven't watched it yet.

So if you haven't, give it a go!
