good to know. Thanks. I will look for the Japanese version. I really wanted to like the Kdrama version because I like one of the actors, but I just couldn't.

I can't believe I forgot Tunnel when I made this list. That one is 100% time travel. Loved it! I also consider Signal (loved it) Time travel related. Rooftop Prince is already on the list. I have not watched the Chinese versions of Scarlet Heart. I think I tried it and dropped it but, I cannot remember why, now. I have not seen any of those movies. I tried Time Renegades but it didn't catch my interest, so I did not finish it. I will look some of these others up. Thanks.

Time Travel drama/movie recommendations: I will list all of the dramas/movies I can think of with a time travel theme. Please add to it, if I have missed any. I would love to find one that I have not seen yet.

Time travel with historical costumes:

Faith - loved it.

Time Slip Dr Jin - didn't hold my interest

Queen In Hyun's Man - loved it. Guy from past comes to future.

Roof Top Prince - cute and funny. Guy from past comes to future.

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo - So Good, but it is a cryfest!

Splash Splash Love - cute short drama(extra points for starring Yoon Doo Joon and Kim Seul Gi)

The Eternal Love - (Chinese drama currently airing) - historical clothing but she looked at the map and says they must not be on earth...

I watched a Movie version of Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo(I think, or something similar), but I can not remember the title. I remember liking it....

Not that far in the Past Time Travel:

Nine Times Travel - Good

Tomorrow with You - Okay/unique that it is about traveling to the future and past

Operation Proposal - I heard the Japanese version is better, but I got bored in the Kdrama verson and dropped it.

Not exactly Time Travel, but similar:

Chicago Typewriter - More like a past life haunting

Roy Mai - Thai drama and it is not time travel, but more like a past life haunting

Did I forget any?

Understood. If you are like me and love a good time travel drama... perhaps you too would like some Time Travel drama recommendations, to fill in, until this one gets licensed.... starting a new thread for them.

Why are you trying to break my heart FritzB? I have really been looking forward to watching this one :(

Dramafever will have it. They have a trailer on youtube for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb1nSKjoBRM

I really don't understand people who keep watching dramas that they are not enjoying. If it is not my cup of tea, I usually know in the first 5 minutes. I have dropped plenty, 5 minutes in. If a drama gets slow for me, I give it 1 more week to pick back up or I drop it. I do know some people that will watch all the way through, even if they hate it.... just to add it to their finished list. I say, good for you, for dropping it! There are so many great ones to out there, why waste time on one you don't love. I would be happy to look at your list and make a recommendation based on your taste. Makjang melodramas are definitely an acquired taste. I love how ridiculous they are. For me, that is the appeal.

Yep. Look out for dramas described as "melodrama", there are often makjang elements. I wouldn't write them off altogether, though. In the future, if you are mad at an ex or your boss, watching a related makjang drama may help you release your anger. There is often sweet revenge for the innocents(if there are any) in these kinds of dramas.

Just started watching this last night, on KBS' youtube station. It is really cute so far. It has been a long time since I watched a monday through friday drama. It will be nice to get to start every morning with an episode :)

You get to watch one episode every weekday! I am only up to episode 10, because I started late. I can already tell, I am going to have a little second lead syndrome too. He needs to fall in love with a nice girl who can help him change for the better.

thanks. I will check it out, if my computer security will let me.

Loved Please Love The Useless Me. Going to put some of these others on my Plan to Watch list.

I am still watching it too. I don't like Jang Hee Jin as much as I did Gu Hye Seon. I know it was a last minute change, but I wish they had rethought the first episode JHJ filmed. She went straight to emotional skinship with the actor that plays Kyung Soo. It might have been better if they back tracked a bit, with the story, to gave them some time to build rapport. I am really drawn in by the Lee Kyung Soo and Park Hyun Joon Characters and their complicated relationship. If the chemistry was better between Kang Tae Oh (Kyung Soo) and Jang Hee Jin (Hae Dang), I think their story would be the most compelling. I think her chemistry has improved with other characters, so there is still hope they will start to gel, as well. In the short term, the thing I hope happens most is for Park Hyun Joon to pretty woman Hae Dang. I really hate those ripped up tight jeans she has been wearing. ... Actually all of the skinny jeans she has been wearing. She looks TOO skinny in those... which now makes me think that her lack of chemistry may be because she is too weak to muster any emotions, due to extreme dieting. Someone, please feed her a Cheeseburger!!! ... I got off topic. Yes, there were a couple of dragging episodes a couple weeks back and I thought I might drop it, but I am back on board. I need to know what happens to this mixed up makjang bunch.

Is this drama actually only 10 episodes and already completed? Why does it say 16 and still airing???

Oooo not liking the reviews on here. I am watching this on Drama Cool. It is mislabeled??? as Game Sanaeha - I first started watching thinking it was the other drama. That drama has not aired yet, though. Since I have already started it, I am giving it a try.

Good article. I love Yoon Shi Yoon. My favorite of all of his dramas is Me Too Flower. I have not started The Best Hit. The synopsis doesn't sound interesting to me. If I start hearing good reviews I might try it anyway.
Someone who is doing well, and plays in popular dramas... but is always cast as the second lead is Go Kyung Pyo. Crossing my fingers that GKP gets to play the romantic lead and actually gets the girl!!!

I agree with Healer, I Can Hear Your Voice, and Goblin. I would recommend those to anyone. I have heard good things about Strong Woman Do Bong Soo and Descendants of The Sun, but have not watched them.

Faith is a great Gateway historical drama. It has a little modern day and a little taste of what a historical drama is all about... and all while being Awesome!

These dramas, for the most part, have strong female characters. I understand why the author of this list is recommending these dramas, for beginners. Often, you will find viewers on the forums (many times new to Korean Dramas) complaining about what they perceive as a weak/stupid female lead, sexist male lead, and or about how the male lead keeps grabbing the female leads wrist, etc... To those "beginners" I would totally recommend this list.
However, I do not think this list will lead them to appreciating the great Korean drama classics or their cliches.
If I were trying to create a new Korean drama fan, I would personally just recommend some of my personal Favorites(which does happen to include Healer and I Can Hear Your Voice!). Others I would recommend are Secret, Secret Garden, My Lovely Sam Soon, Master's Sun, Personal Taste, Lie to Me, Faith, You Who Came From The Stars... and so many more.

I started watching this on (in US with eng subs) KissAsian, but all the sudden I can't find it there anymore. I couldn't find it on Dramacool. I am watching on youtube. The episodes are split up in 6 sections and some of the sections are muted. What happened to Kissasian?
