A Slow-paced but Intense Drama

This drama was very unique. The cinematography was beautiful in the way that it reflected the the emotions and actions of the characters. Another amazing quality, was the acting. It felt real, not too over the top, but enough to make things interesting. Although, I do wish we were able to see more of the main characters development. Another thing, was how the main character was able to piece things together. Sometimes it felt too artifical, and blocky when he was figuring things out. Other than that, this was done beautifully.

Sempre teremos a música

Gosto muito desse Dorama, a OST é tão perfeita que mesmo anos depois de ter assistido pela primeira vez ainda ficou grudada na minha cabeça! Se eu soubesse cantar seria top 😅

O tema principal de toda a história é a música e o efeito que ela tem nos personagens como forma de expressão, seja em questões familiares, românticas ou de amizade.

O drama do casal não é forçado, e o romance deles também é leve e gostosinho de ver! Consigo entender os motivos da So-ri e também os do K pra serem como são.

Emoção

Meu preferido dentre todos os incontáveis Doramas que já vi até hoje! Um romance puro, perfeito, como nunca vamos encontrar na vida fora das telas/livros... Tem drama, comédia, suspense; cada parte da história te prende por um motivo diferente! Você pode rir de doer a barriga e chorar litros no mesmo dia. A química desse casal em cena, ambos os atores são maravilhosos! Os personagens secundários também são ótimos, entregaram tudo! As definições de "cair de paraquedas" foram atualizadas com sucesso.

Sweet, Realistic, and Mature

This drama felt so much different than the bubbly, passive dramas that often come of out China. The FL wasn't flat, and was a mature adult who was able to make her own decisions. She was strong, but laid-back when she wanted to be. I also love the FL's sister, and her story. She was able to overcome things herself. The only thing I didn't like much was the inclusion of things that felt unnecessary. Some side plots felt useless, and didn't build much character (however, they were still interesting to watch!) All in all, it was a great drama with pretty good directing, acting, and dialouge. It was natural, intimate, and sweet.

Ser mãe

Amei o fato de mostrar todas as inseguranças que a maternidade trás, além das mudanças na vida da família completa com a chegada do bebê e, principalmente a desmistificação do estereótipo de mãe perfeita sendo a que leu vinte mil livros e artigos, ouvia música clássica na gestação, segue tendências da moda infantil etc comparada a mãe de primeira viagem que trabalha fora e é tida como a mãe ruim!
Acho que toda mulher, seja ela mãe ou não, deveria assistir ao menos uma vez! E muitas outras vezes mais!

Sensível e reflexivo

Toda a história mexeu muito comigo: a questão da idade da personagem principal, o sono dela de ser mãe, o debate interno sobre adoção, o problema de saúde, etc.
A parte mais triste da história foi quando o namorado vê que seu tratamento não dá resultados e que seu relacionamento poderia ter um fim igual ao anterior por causa da esterilidade, dessa vez dupla...
Esse é um Dorama maduro perfeito para quem se sente na mesma situação dos personagens principais ou algo parecido, traz muitas reflexões importantes.

Que raiva

Gente do céu, acho que esse foi o episódio Dorama que me deu raiva de algum personagem! Não foi o único, mas foi o primeiro! Posso ter sido unfluenciada por gostar do ator principal e não querer que ele sofra nunca...
Apesar de ter me irritado, me identifiquei um pouco com a personagem feminina confusa que não quer ser ela mesma por um tempo, mas não o suficiente a ponto de simpatizar com a atitude dela que levou a tanta confusão.
Todo o elenco está de parabéns, conseguiram me prender do começo ao fim!

Água com pouco açúcar

Ainda não sei dizer direito o que me levou a assistir, talvez tenha sido mais pra passar o tempo...
Não gostei muito da história em si, então não culpo os atores pela atuação deles, inclusive diría que fizeram um bom trabalho com o que tinham, e até deu pra ver um pouco de química entre eles.
No geral, não é de todo ruim, mas não me encantou a ponto de entrar pra minha lista de favoritos ou mesmo dos que pretendo assistir novamente depois de um tempo. Com exceção de algumas cenas, uma vez é suficiente.

Para pensar

Comecei a assistir por causa do pseudônimo da personagem principal e acabei curtindo muito o desenrolar da história. Já tinha visto outros Doramas com os personagens principais e gostei do resultado e da química que eles entregaram nessa produção!
As dicas e análises dos relacionamentos trazem o telespectador para dentro da trama por ser fácil se ver nas situações que acontecem.
Quem nunca se viu no papel de amigo que dá conselhos amorosos e na real não faz ideia de como lidar com a própria vida?

It wasn't awful, just kinda boring

I would say I did not need to watch this one, so if you really like office dramas with almost no plot then this one is for you.

It is a short drama so I know that it is hard to get story elements to fit in but other shows of a similar length have had some more interesting plot points and dialogue.

The bigger Jun (idk what else to call him) also came off as a little bit predatory to the other small Jun in the begining so I wasn't a huge fan of that, they knew each other for about a day and big Jun was already making some big moves on small Jun-part of that is because they used to know each other but small Jun didn't know that-still weird.

The ending feels slow, I am not too sure why there were 3 separate guys all going after small Jun. Once the two Juns confessed to each other it still dragged on with the other two love interests like the confession never happened. Small Jun just couldn't say no to anyone besides big Jun. He spent so long rejecting big Jun, why wasn't it that easy to reject the other two interests?

I will say the casting was good, I even liked the side characters to a degree. If there was more plot I feel like the whole cast could have shined a bit more since a lot of the show was just standing around and talking in their office about things I already forgot about even though I just finished the show. I wish they showed the second couple a little more, they also used to know each other but don't talk to each other for the first half of the drama and it ends with them just getting to know each other again. It would have been easy to start their story earlier on so they could have more development since they knew each other.


TLDR: slow story, wanted more plot, good casting though for a shorter BL

♥️

Eu assistir esperando nada em troca, mas me vieram com essa obra de arte. Puta merda que atuação impecável. colocaram um elenco maravilhoso em um só filme.

Ressaltando que o filme sim tem suas falhas, mas isso é super normal.

Vão ter pessoas que não iram gostar por causa do tema e do conteúdo que para alguns pode ser sensível.

Tem bastante sangue, mortes sangrentas, mas quando você é dorameira a muito tempo, isso se torna abanal ksksksksk

Então concluindo, eu amei o filme. relembrando que o filme não é perfeito mas é bom.

CLOSE YOUR EYES – NOW FEEL ⏯️

DISCLAIMER: I completed this a week ago and had time to collect / sit with my thoughts so please take my opinion / review with a grain of salt as I’m not here to argue with anyone. I also have not watched the Taiwanese version yet (but I will do so soon) It will be interesting to see if my opinion on the show will been alter / change. Anyways, this is just a my summary of the drama. I watched it completely blind with no preconceived notions.

The emotions you will experience while watching this drama cannot be replicated by reading a plot synopsis or watching a summary video on YouTube. I recommend that you watch it without looking at the spoilers or hating / comparing it to versions you've seen before. Just pretend it's a whole new drama.

Genres: Mystery, Thriller, Romance, Fantasy

Tropes: Time travel, time loop, doppelgängers, friends to lovers, second chance romance ,found family, friendship, transmigration (body / soul switching), soulmates.

Likes:

This drama was interesting to say the least. The cinematography was beautiful and it felt very nostalgic because it takes you back to the 90s and 2000s. The time travel plot was very well done. I thought it would be confusing but it wasn't. It was easy to understand and found myself figuring out the plot half way through. I figured the scarred man was in fact Nam Si Heon and came up with reasons how this could be possible etc. My guesses were close enough lol. Every episode had me on the edge of my seat, thinking I had it all figured out, only to be surprised by unexpected twists and turns. I had to pay close attention because of the back-and-forth storytelling, but it was worth it.

Jeon Yeo Been's performance was outstanding, especially in how she portrayed the two different characters – she was convincing in showing us (the audience) that it was in fact two different people. The especially how she shifted her personality between the characters. The way she looked at Si Heon / Yeon Jun, laughed, walked, smiled and talked – all changed with the person and the timeline.

Ahn Hyo Seop gave me butterflies and made my heart skip whenever he was on screen, he really is very handsome and I think I developed a crush while watching. Si Heon / Yeon Jun was soooo boyfriend and just the greenest flag ever, across every single timeline. I mean he did such an amazing and convincing job as he portrayed the Si Heon / Yeon Jun who longed for his love (Jun Hee) across time and space. I thought the way he could immediately tell the difference between Min Ju and Jun Hee was precious and endearing. Min Ju could not fool him and unfortunately he would never be able to return her (or anyone else’s) affections becasue Jun Hee was his one true love.

Kang Hoon proved that even without a lot of lines, one's screen presence can be pretty impactful. Also, the way he emotes with his eyes is at another level altogether.

Rowoon's guest appearance was a pleasant surprise and I enjoyed seeing him on screen even thought it was short lived.

Min Jin Woong was a very compelling villain. He nailed the psychopathic murderer / serial killer role so well. I was definitely creeped out and on the edge of my seat watching and waiting to see what his character would do next.

Dislikes:

Some aspects of the time travel phenomenon weren't entirely explained, like why there were two people with the exact same face? I also found it puzzling how Chan Yeong looked exactly like his older brother. That resemblance was truly a mystery for me but I guess it made the storytelling easier from the writers perspective. It seems like that's just how the world of 'A Time Called You' works. I did not have a problem with Si Heon / Yeon Jun and Min Ju / Jun Hee existing in the same timeline like other people. It was very understandable and if you pay close attention you won’t be confused.

What triggered me was Min-Ju’s suicide. It captured a suicidal persons thoughts perfectly but reinforced the fact that no matter what you say / do to help a suicidal person, it won’t change the fact that if someone wants to die… they will kill themselves. They have to want to live for themselves and want to heal / get better and have something to live for. I’m not saying this to be cold/heartless because I just knew a girl like Min Ju. The only difference is she'd always threaten suicide for attention (unlike Min Ju) but in actuality, being her friend was exhausting. Safe to say we're not friends anymore and she still has her depressive episodes but I’m glad I’m not around for her to trauma dump on me or act like her issues are for more important / greater than anyone else's. She used to claim other's do not understand her and that she doesn’t have the mental capacity to care about anyone but herself (at least she was self aware, but imo she was also self centered and mean spirited most of all!). I don't think it was for a lack of love or attention, because it seemed she received both, but like Min Ju she was bullied a lot in her formative years and then kept attempting to transform herself indefinitely. Unfortunately she did not realize (and still hasn't to this day) that by doing all that she was killing the person she used to be, leaving her feeling empty and full of self-hatred (much like when Min Ju claimed to be Jun Hee lol!)

Anyway, it's ironic because thorough everything I was deemed selfish and told that I just don’t understand even though I always was encouraging, reassuring and supportive much like In Gyu. Seeing such a similar occurrence in this drama brought up a flood of emotions for me, which is why I think I felt overwhelmed then slightly irked while watching it. It was insane, especially when they showed inside Min Ju’s mind, Jun Hee trying to stop her, In Gyu pouring his heart out and trying to comfort her by lending caring / supportive worlds to then hearing Min Ju claim nobody cared about her. It was even more shocking to then see her catapult / launch herself off the building, thus killing herself (bleeding to death) and In Gyu taking the blame. I had so many mixed emotions but that very intense scene left me feeling sad and disheartened most of all. I could feel the same sense of hopelessness much like how Jun Hee felt, just being a mere bystander/watcher from that cave – not being able to do anything to help or convince Min Ju her life was worth living.

Moral of the story is choose your friends wisely, try your best and be kind always. If it’s not good enough (especially to the other person) and they don’t see the value in their life then know it’s not your fault / on you. Don’t blame yourself and go to prison for someone else’s choice or twisted wishes to be fulfilled like In Gyu. As Jun Hee said it was Min Ju's own expectations of people that made her miserable and she needed to take time for herself and take care of her wellbeing.

I wish the show explained the alternate ending better, I would’ve liked to find out exactly how In Gyu saves Min Ju on time. It would also have been nice for them to tell how Min Ju gets stuck in a cave where she see through the eyes of Jun Hee and vice versa plus how they escape from it and become the main host of the body.

I’m a very emotional / sentimental person so I did tear up while watching. If you’re the same (or worse) be sure to bring some tissues.

Final Thoughts:

Overall, each of their stories was beautiful as was the ending (which I'd like to thank the creators for). I felt warm seeing the kind of love that was portrayed. It made me feel the butterflies of a first love, the comfort of a mature love, the pain of separation and the overwhelming relief of their reunion.

The ending made me hopeful and happy, but it also made my heart hurt. I think it’s more so because of the realization that so many precious memories and relationships formed across various timelines would be lost forever, as if they never existed.

This was the kind of drama that stays with you long after you finish watching it. I still feel an ache in my heart when I think about it or listen to the OST (which by the way is just as amazing!) I think everyone who enjoyed this had that moment where they played "Gather My Tears" and tried to close our eyes and dissociate pretending we were going back in time like Jun Hee.

If this drama was a quote it would be: "In a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality – I'd find you and I'd always choose you."

It truly deserves an 8.5/10 and I will definitely be sure to rewatch it in the future, whenever "a time calls me."

Decepção⚠️

Eu estava esperando aquele filme, mas não foi como esperado, eu fui com muita expectativa para assistir e no final me decepcionei.

a produção foi incrível, a atuação foi aceitável, não foi ruim.

Mas o enredo foi puxado demais, eu esperava mais.

eu amei as lutas mostrou como a mulher é dona de si, mas o enredo se perdeu.

no fim parecia estar no começo.

literalmente um tiro para acabar com tudo. Então deve ser por isso que o final não me agradou 100%, mas ressaltando que todos tem suas opiniões e eu respeito

Hilarious!

Never have I laughed out loud so much at a K drama. It is one of the funniest TV shows I've ever watched. Everything is masterfully executed. The cast is an ensemble cast from many of my favorite dramas and the acting leaves nothing to be desired. The production and soundtrack are perfect. The story is original and never feels stale. Not to mention, I love the idea of webtoons, which are often created by independent artists, getting adaptations .

I felt like Ae Bong while watching this.
Highly recommended needless to say.
