A Time Called You

I haven't seen the original, so will review it solely for this one.

It was an amazing show, the lead cast played their characters brilliantly, the chemistry between the two main leads was fabulous and probably was one of the reasons the show is good, as it makes you believe that yes the power of love can create magical things, goes beyond time.

It was an easy 9star , but the ending was rushed for me. Usually in kdramas they really stretch it out even when the plot doesn't demand it, but here it was very much needed and Netflix rushed things in the end, a more romantic, fulfilling end was needed for the main leads, but it just feels rushed and left me with a sense of incompleteness.

The music is good, all 12 episodes are beautifully shot, the script is tight amd there are no lags, no drags whatsoever.

A must watch show. Though I wouldnt recommemd it to those who haven't watched a kdrama yet and this will there first.

Korean Drama " A Time Called You " is the remake of the Taiwanese drama "Someday or One Day", and somehow it makes it work. It does follow the story closely to the original, but it makes it fit the Korean standards, altering the storyline slightly, but without ruining it.

The drama, first of all, is pretty entertaining, with the main mystery being intriguing and reaching its full climax in the final episodes, which were full of action and twists. The ending, in addition, was just right for the story, bittersweet yes, but appropriate for the story and leaving it up to the viewer to imagine what will come next.

Moreover, the actors and actresses of the cast did a great job with their performances and they handled their characters masterfully.

Finally, the drama managed the fantasy paranormal element smoothly without complicating the story or confusing the viewer.

So, overall, eight and a half out of ten.

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!

Let me be honest. At first, I didn't plan to watch this k-drama, but I did because of Ahn Hyo-seop (I know you are not judging me for that, hahaha), and it was so worth it!

I agree with everyone who said that Jeon Yeo-been's (f lead) performance was outstanding. In that confusing and sometimes shocking time loop, I thought there were different actresses. She managed to play them all too well (like different ages, different people and still played by one person, bravo!)

The main plot as I said earlier was very confusing, yet in a very good way. A few times, I thought that I could predict something, and then everything was changing so quickly that my brain needed to use all of its resources to adapt to the new turns. On Ep.11, it all became overwhelming, and I started to look forward to seeing the final. I'm glad it's 12 episodes and not 16 or more.

While watching the drama, I had thoughts that if I wanted, I could find a lot of gaps or I would have a whole bunch of questions to writers, but I decided to enjoy the series, as sorry, but this is much better and rare than "King the land" or whatever.

Overall I did enjoy watching it. I think you will not regret watching it either.

Superb acting by all the actors be it lead or supporting. Excellent story. Given the complex plotline, there was a big chance that the viewers might get confused and not be able to match their pace with the story. But the director has done a brilliant job with that. From the point the time travel starts till it ends, everything has been shown with utmost brilliancy. Also, even for brief but bringing out the BL storyline and that also with Rowoon was an excellent idea. I was literally jumping on my bed during that episode.

I will suggest this to the viewers who are big fans of "unconditional love" and "fight with the destiny" romance stories.

Note to the viewers who have a habit of forwarding episodes to complete the drama, please do not do that with this one. If you miss 2-3 min, you might miss on the storyline and can get confused.
