A Time Called You (2023)

JUST AMAZING.

I haven't watched the original so, don't come at me for it. I loved every single episode. it was so good planned that sometimes I was more invested on the murder case, or thinking how will they explain the "time travel" and how they'll fix it that I had no time to get bored.
the romance was just good, subtle but also strong. it didn't need many kiss scenes, or touching scenes for you to understand that the love was there, you could just feel it in the way the stared at each other and that's on the great cast. I loved the acting and also the ost I LOVED EVERYTHING it's just sooooo good. wish I could turn back time and watch it again for the first time. <3

I have not watched the original

but I do want to now that I've seen this one! Ive seen people saying that the original was even more emotional and better in general, but I've gotta say this one IS GOOD! I personally loved it and am glad I took a chance on it. it's also joined a (now 3 member) club of shows that kept me up at night, this one being a first in that it wasn't the final episode that threw me out of my mind, and the second Korean drama on the list. I also appreciated how everything in the show grew on me as it went on. even if I already cared about a character, each episode made me care more (in-gyu especially ?) and the songs too! I wasn't a huge fan of them at first, I never disliked them but just eh whatever but each time they played them, instead of getting sick of hearing it, I was grinning ear to ear eager to hear it again! the only thing I wish, was for this to have been weekly updates, cause I like the anticipation of waiting for a new episode but that's okay ?

I did not like the plot because it kind of depressing, but the acting was exceptional.

A Time Called You - a Kdrama recommended by a friend, and I fell asleep watching it. So far, I have not enjoyed this drama. It is too slow, and the flow of the story is not engaging me.

The Synopsis: Han Jun Hee's boyfriend, Koo Yeon Jun, died one year ago. She still hasn't gotten over his death and misses him a lot. One day, she time-travels back to 1998 and finds herself as a high school student, Kwon Min Joo. There, she meets high school student Nam Si Heon. She is surprised to see how much Nam Si Heon resembles her late boyfriend, Koo Yeon Jun. Nam Si Heon is outgoing and attractive; girls adore him. His best friend, Jung In Kyu, develops a crush on Kwon Min Joo.

I went back and watched it again, and I didn't like the story that much because it dealt with dark issues with mental health and suicide. The acting was exceptional, especially the actress Jeon Yeo Been, who played both Han Jun Hee & Kwon Min Ju characters.

Overall, I enjoyed the acting of this drama, but not particularly the plot. I give it an 8.0 anyway because the acting was so good.

Se prepare pra chorar assistindo.

Inventei de maratonas tudo de uma vez e tô até com dor de cabeça do tanto que chorei esse fim de semana. Aliás, não recomendo esse drama pra quem têm gatilho com temas como depressão e suicídio.

Entrou pra lista de melhores dramas que já assisti, a história é envolvente e cheia de plots twist que mesmo no último momento haviam coisas que eu não esperava acontecer. A atuação impecável e acredito que seja um dos melhores papéis do HyoSeop, o protagonista conseguiu roubar meu coração a cada segundo. Eu não assistiria denovo porque seria cruel demais me torturar duas vezes.

O final é aberto, eu geralmente não curto finais assim porém achei coerente com a história e ao menos deixa alguma esperança positiva no telespectador. Ver as memórias deles desaparecendo me causou uma dor absurda, aliás achei o drama realmente genial em questões de roteiro e reviravoltas.

Se você procura um drama pra rir, se emocionar e chorar MUITO... Super indico esse drama, mas aconselho que separe seus lencinhos antes de assistir.

Wow, this drama was crazy, it's been a while since I was so excited and created so many theories, you know? It was an unimaginable surprise.
I screamed, freaked out, jumped when my theory was right, it was a success!
I really liked the development of the story, it was very good, the words of affirmation that Jun hee said to make Min Ju feel better made me happy, she can have her chance and live now and live well, you know? But I confess that episode 11 dragged on for me because I just wanted everything to be resolved quickly, I'm not going to lie that I wanted more of them at the end, but did we get our dose of them as a couple throughout the drama? The chemistry between these two was incredible, the performance was impeccable, I need to praise Yeo Been, I have loved acting for a long time and the differences between Jun Hee and Min Ju were very noticeable, even the way they spoke changed a lot for me, the intonation he knows? It was incredible, I loved it! And hyo seop isn't even mentioned, he's a great actor too, they worked very well together, I really loved in Gyu and I really hope he's happy, he deserves it so much??
The drama was great, the time travel and everything really inspired me, it just needed a little bit to win my heart even more, but I really liked it!
And did time take care of bringing him back to her?

This is a conceptual drama

I had been waiting for the release of this series for a long time because I thought I could follow the Train of beautiful thoughts and beliefs of Kim Jin Won that I had found Mainstream of that in two series "my country :new age" and "just between lovers", And the result was just that.

It seems like the director is trying to convey a concept to the audience through different series in the form of various stories, and that is that none of us are victims of fate. We are choosers, not forced. It is ourselves who choose to be happy or live in sorrow for our future.

Perhaps the most beautiful and tangible dialogue in this series, in expressing this concept, was the dialogue of Nam Si Heon in episode 9, who said, "We were changing our destiny. No matter how little. By our own choices and based on our own desires."

Nevertheless, my expectations were much higher before watching this series. Everything in this series was average or maybe slightly better for me. The series had a beautiful message, the actors played their roles beautifully, the story was new and beautiful, the excitement of the series was suitable, and finally, the ending was good and acceptable. However, nothing was extraordinary.

It seemed like everything could have ended in episode 9 and I liked that ending. Nevertheless, the series continued for three more episodes, which were accompanied by a slight decline. Perhaps the writer wanted to give another chance for better choices to be made by Jung In Kyu and Kwon Min Ju as well so that they could have a more beautiful destiOverall though, the ending was satisfying for me.

Im soooo Confused???

Okay so I watched this drama for 1 reason only & of course that reason was bc of Ahn Hyo-seop's beautiful face! I dont nothing bout an original so I cant compare- maybe it wouldve helped me be able to follow the story bc I have no idea what the heck was going on? I think she was able to time travel after listening to a tape inside a walkman and land in another chicks body just bc they looked alike??? Okay so I can somewhat follow that but then they threw in that he also time traveled back into time into the boys body as well??? But they never showed him ever time traveling back??? Somehow he knew it would send her back so he mails the walkman to her in hopes she would go back in time and stop the murders from occurring so they all can live in the future- Han Jun-hee, Koo Yeon-jun, & Si-heon, Min-Ju, & In-gyu...Of course changing the course of the past changes the courses and lives in the future so I get that so how come in the end there was only Jun-hee & Si-heon??? Did the plane crash really happened that took Yeon-Juns life??? My conclusion, I think? is that Yeon-Jun never existed in Jun-hee's future since her entire life wiped away? It wouldve kinda came together more if at the end if Si-heon & Jun-hee introduced themselves on the bus & it took him back to his memory of when he saw her as a little girl when she told yelled her name to him & told him to remember the next time he saw her...I think alot of extra stories & scenes got thrown into this drama that made the story so difficult to follow when it couldve been made clearer by leaving alot of them out. I guess the story is way beyond my intelligence but I do have to admit, none of it took away from Ahn hyo-seop's handsomeness & I totally enjoyed watching him! That was the very best thing bout this drama, hands down!

It makes sense in the end!

I left a review on this show 9 episodes in and it was basically about how I loved the feel of the show, especially when in the 90s but I was just so confused and felt like the timeline was hard to keep up with. Now that I have finished the show, there are still some things I don't understand but the main storyline I get now.

Like I said I really enjoyed the 90s vibes, the cinematography, and the sweet relationships between the main characters. It made me happy that in-gyu had a chance in the end with min-ju and that even though they can't remember the time travelling, her getting in the accident benefited her in that she felt more at peace and almost had a new beginning at life. Also how Si-heon and Jun-hee did meet eventually in 2011, and how it ends openly and optimistically. Every episode I watched ended with so many twists and turns that it really makes you want to continue watching to know what it means and how it changes the future. Although it did make me sad and happy at the same time in the end lol.

Sure the twists and turns in the show were good and really captivating, but it also left me confused often and still now I don't get certain things. Because of this, I was tempted to drop the show but stuck it out and I'm glad that I did. It's crazy to comprehend most of the things that we saw over the course of the years in the show ended up never happening, specifically with si-heon and jun-hee.

I think the cast was great too, with Vincenzo being one of my favourite dramas, I'm super fond of Yeo-been and seeing this new side of her in this show was really cool to see.

I went into this not having seen the original so this is my first time seeing the story. There is a lot to like about this show. The cinematography, wardrobe, and production were all beautiful, The actors all did well with their roles especially the two main leads where they played 2 characters each with variations of those characters as the circumstances changed. The OST was nice though not very memorable and the story and pacing kept you guessing through out.

Overall I enjoyed this show and would recommend it, especially if you like a mystery or magical aspects. The writers weaved the story well so as to keep you interested in the telling but also put all the pieces together by the end. While the overall experience was good I will say that the first and last two episodes were harder for me to get through. The first episode did not pull me in and make me want to continue watching, it took that second episode to get me interested. And the last two episodes had me skipping sections. While the story was wrapping up well I did feel like it was dragging on and I was just ready for it to get to the point. Those two episodes are the only two where I fast forwarded.

You really have to commend the actors here. While the main leads did not pull off the look of high school students well, they did however do a great job of distinguishing between characters and changed with the story well. They especially carry the emotional moments well. And while this is a highly emotional roller coaster of a show I never connected to the level of crying along with the characters which makes me feel like something was missing.

I do recommend you give this a watch and enjoy the fantastical story as it unfolds.
