An all round solid show
Despite the many who earlier raised some concern that Times would only serve as a lukewarm reskinning of Kairos , the drama holds it own pretty well. Taking the same tropes we seen before and executing them satisfyingly enough to warrant an enjoyable watch. The actors all performed brilliantly and the leads worked well off each other, especially when you take into account that for most of the drama they are separated.
The time altering element of the drama was fitted to the more thriller like atmosphere and continuity issues if there were any went unnoticed by me. Some seem to have a slight issue with some character decisions with which I agree some what but overall those can be easily internally explained and dont really comprise the story overall. The show was in many ways aided by the decision to cut the episodes pretty aggressively to just around an hour and limiting it to 12 episodes a trend I hope OCN keeps to, to keep thrillers thrilling and not gasping for breath 10 episodes in with 6 hours to spare.
The final episode did employ a bit of a tropey undertone but this wasn't too off-putting.
All in all this one's probably gonna be on my list of favourites for this year and you should try it out too.
