Do Not Worry This Is A well executed compelling Story from Start to Finish
So I realise this is a remake of a Taiwanese drama i know nothing about nor do I want to. Just want to be clear about that.
One of the things Ive grown to love about Kdramas is how they hand you a Supernatural, Time Travel, or Fantasy premise and just roll with it, they dont feel the need to exllain the detailed roots of the scenarios they set their stories in. They just present it and away we go. So in that sense often the suprernatiral, sci fi, timetravel, mind reading or other out there premise facilitates the story rather than becomes the story. So in A Time Called You we dont know how or why a "walkman" is suddenly a time travelling soul trans migration device it just is and it just means a fantastic tale can be and is told.
I loved this drama for the wonderfully clever way of telling a love story (actually several), a crime mystery and a youthful struggle of acceptance and coming to terms with life.
I groan when i read about it not making sense for x or y reasons. As i said the walkman is a time machine logic is not the point. Having said that there is a tightness to the chronology and attention to detail in the story that makes it less plothole ridden than most shows that dabble in time travel and their resultant loops and multiverses.
The FL acting is wonderful, the rest of the cast are on point, the twists and turns are clever well paced and often delightfully unexpected.
Do not get hung up on the laws of physics, the writer doesnt, do not get hung up on the original vs remake, just watch and enjoy having a superior viewing experience.
Highly Reccomend.
