Bucking the trend
I'm going to buck the trend and say that I watched the Korean version then decided to watch the Taiwanese version to see what I missed. Turns out I didn't miss anything! So far, the reviewers of this remake can be classified into two camps - those who didn't watch the original and loved it vs those who watched the original and hated this. I'm going to buck the trend and say that I watched the Korean one first and liked it but after watching the Taiwanese one, I like the Korean one even more that I've actually increased its rating!Why? When I watched the first 2 episodes of this Korean version, I found it draggy but OMG, the first four episodes of the original are even worse! The Korean remake keeps much of the same plot highlights but removes the bits I find super annoying in the Taiwanese version - the annoying attempts at comedy, the super annoying side stories and characters (gosh I really hate the colleagues). Like what's the deal with trying to inject comedy into a tragedy?
This remake just gets to the crux of the relationships between the main leads and important friends. The only thing that bugged me was the Seo Ji Won song - I loved it at first but it got very repetitive and tiring by the third episode. In contrast, the soundtrack of the original Taiwanese was fantastic and well-suited to the plot elements throughout. The Wu Bai song never got old.
In short - just want to watch for the mystery? Watch this Korean remake which has much better editing and is a professional production. Want to indulge in emotions - the sweet love story, the tragedy of love then loss, and endure annoying attempts at comedy which aren't funny - then watch the original which is raw, unpolished (for goodness sakes, mic the actors and remove all the echoey background noise!) but sentimental.

Be ready to be hurted but it will be way that you wont expect
I have a broke heart, soul, tearful eyes, incredibly blue bags under my eyes and I feel like we took away something that was mine. But throught this everything this was the best drama on my list . it's so beautiful that it makes me cry again and again. tears that I can't tell if they are happiness or sadness. But ....oh my god...... I have hurted soul but it can be fixed. Iam so in love with Nam SiHyeon or Yeonjun or whatever you want call him. He alway love Junhiu and would do for her everything. He did everything waht he can and even in the end ........ And Junhee not Minjiu , Han Junhee i can tell have i was intes feeling everything she feel.And the only think waht she wanted was just have back him Nam Si Hyon or Ku Yeonjun , she just want his soul, him back. When I tell you my heart almoust burst when I saw then together in .... episode I meant it so seriously. it was so beautiful and sad and emotion just every felling i can get from my body was there. I think I will be hurten long long time after this drama but it was worth it and I do not regret any second of my 17hours watching this drama. (I watched it in one day without thinking )
Do I remommned this? If you are ready for mix mind and not hurted from world (you will be after) watch it. but it is on your own risico.

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.

Even if you’re bored this is worth a watch
I was gonna take a little more time to watch something with Ahn Hyo Seop in it but I was bored and had an open mind so why not? Mann when I tell you I couldn’t stop watching this episode after episode. I had a paper to do while I was watching this and let me say this show definitely distracted me from it with how good it was. Let’s just say I got the paper done mostly? not the point though. This show is really good definitely recommend even if your not bored and looking for a k drama with romance, comedy,and even mystery this is definitely the one. Not gonna lie was in tears a couple time so might cry if your kinda a big baby like me. One thing this show spot on too was the chemistry with the romance in this show definitely makes a single girl like me wonder if I too can find someone and have a similar chemistry as in the show. Enough about me though good show should watch really?Was this review helpful to you?
"even if its just once i want to see you again"-----"i am waiting for my destiny"
such heartwarming series with a happy ending its time loop drama about the love between two people "i am waiting for my destiny" it was beautifully written i didn't watch the original version but remake version is really good and loved the main lead acting.. story was about the love of those two people where they wanted to meet their loved once after their death and which make them reunited in different time lines present-past-present-future ... cant explain how beautiful this story was ❤... people watched the original version and talking trash about the remake.. just watch the series without comparing it with the original one and you will really feel how soul-stirring this show is..Was this review helpful to you?
Complicated
It can be a little confusing and hard to understand in the beginning, but you will understand everything later on and the puzzles will sit right. In this show you can see the hardships of being a teenager or maybe just a human being that have to work hard to fit in with the others. But it also includes unconditional love that is timeless and seems to find it self in the both of the timelines. I personally enjoyed watching this show, I LOVE fantasy and time travel and things so yea this show was made for me hehe(o^^o)Was this review helpful to you?

Felt a little bit story not complete and rushed
The ending should have extended a bit more and there is a loop hole in this because min ju won't have gotten into accident because she will be saved by chang nevertheless of past changed or not and she won't be in hospital that's a loop hole I don't know if anyone else noticed it I felt a little bad with that and the ending should have been a little more even if it was bad it felt they ended it but rushed somewhat like that.

THE BEST KDRAMA OF 2023 FOR ME.
I know I have not watched yet a lot of kdramas that ppl loved this year (for example the good bad mother etc) but this for me was the BEST kdrama of the year. I loved it so much that I had to write a review even if I rarely do so.I just found out this was a remake of a chinese drama, I'm not sure if I'll watch that one, just cause I'm curious but all I can say is that no matter that one, this drama was made very good.
I won't make spoiler in this review but I will tell you its a CONFUSING drama, at least for the first 8th episodes. In number 8 you'll start putting most of the pieces together.
On one side it was such frustrating not understanding ANYTHING of what was going on and where all was going to go til the very end but that was what made this drama beautiful.
The acting of Ahn Seop was really amazing on this drama and also all the other actors were very good even if his performance was my fav (if you watched the drama you'll get why I say so).
Only thing i can say is that for me the rewatch value of this i very low. I've rewatched true beauty or Land crushing so many times but this... I'm not even sure I can watch it a second time because when you know and find out everything than its done. You can love or hate the story they invented but when you know it, in my opinion, rewatching it its a bit pointelss since the all point of this drama is that you wanna so desperately to find out whats happening .

What a Mess!
I've learned to suspend reality when watching certain Kdramas and so I just went with most of the super-confusing timeline crossovers and issues. Yeah, so what if it didn't make a whole lot of sense until the end. I didn't know it was a remake until I got here to write a review and found out from other reviewers. I somewhat regret slogging through this series so I'm certainly not going to watch the original. And the main reason I'm bothering to make this comment is that I'm wondering what happened on the bus at the very end of episode 12. We hear the magical music and and ML asks FL if she is Min-ju and based on the subtitles and her reaction she seems to acknowledge as much. If I got that right--and I went back to watch it a 2nd time--then why didn't she recognize the ML as her former classmate and friend? They were on the same timeline and he remembered enough to ask her name. Why didn't they say like "Hey, haven't seen you in years! How are you?" or whatever folks in South Korea say when they bump into a former friend? It would have made a lot more sense if he had suddenly remembered and asked if she was Jun-Hee. Then she could say "Yes" and he'd have a reason to follow up to figure out how he remembered her. After all, it was to Jun-Hee that he promised he would find her one day. Also, and while it made for good optics to have all of Jun-Hee's and Yeon-Jun's stuff disappear before her eyes--since that timeline wouldn't have occurred--it didn't make sense to me to have her disappear too, unless Jun-Hee was never real to begin with. Which would mean there wasn't a promise to meet again, no great last scene--unless the last scene is just a meeting of two former acquaintances with no other meaning.Was this review helpful to you?
