A Time Called You

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.

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.

This Netflix drama is a heartfelt adaptation of the Taiwanese series "Someday or One Day". It tells the story of Han Jun Hee, who is grieving the loss of her boyfriend, and mysteriously travels back in time to the year 1998, where she meets a boy who looks exactly like him. The drama blends elements of time travel, romance, and nostalgia, making it both touching and thought-provoking. The love story across different timelines is beautifully portrayed by Jeon Yeo Been and Ahn Hyo Seop, who bring an emotional depth to their characters that will leave viewers invested in their fate.

"A Time Called You" is perfect for those who enjoy a more melancholic, bittersweet love story with a sci-fi twist. The time travel element adds layers of complexity to the plot, but the emotional core of the show is always the deep connection between the main characters. The drama explores themes of loss, fate, and how love can transcend time, making it a standout romantic drama for 2023.

This is a romance movie with time-traveling subject. It was interesting all the way and I can watch without skipping an episode. The story puts together drama, romance, crime, and supernatural event into the right blend.

The most outstanding thing is the performance of the female lead who plays both personalities. She could really be a quiet and shy girl who almost has no self-esteem and feel suicidal, and play the cheerful and confident girl whose our male protagonist fall in love with. Her performance in this series deserve an award because she can really be two different girls completely. The other actors and actresses in the story look natural and smooth in their role.

Time-traveling in this story don't have any much reasons to support it. Why that tape bring them back? Why sometimes they play the tape and can't go back? Why the villain can go back so easily? However, there are aspects that I admire about the time-traveling and being inside another person body. If you're not the one taking control of the body, you are viewing life through another person's eyes from the cave inside your soul. This is interesting. I heard that in case of demonic possession, the spirit of the person being possessed is pushed to the back of his soul and isn't able to come out. And I also like the disappearance of everything once the tool for time-traveling is destroyed. It's like the whole timeline, the whole world that lives in one track of time totally disappeared.

There are moments when cinematography is so beautiful and there are times the music really brings a lot of emotion into the story. I also like the idea of two persons who will always love one another no matter what age difference they have to face or no matter what period of time they are in. I also like the matter of bullying, lack of confidence, depression and suicide presented in the last episode. It's really well-done.

Overall, this is one Korean series slightly above average. And you will be able to hum the beginning of that song "Tears" by Seo Ji Won once you get to the last episode because you will have heard it ten times or more. But it's a beautiful song, though.

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.
