A Time Called You

I haven't seen the original, so will review it solely for this one.

It was an amazing show, the lead cast played their characters brilliantly, the chemistry between the two main leads was fabulous and probably was one of the reasons the show is good, as it makes you believe that yes the power of love can create magical things, goes beyond time.

It was an easy 9star , but the ending was rushed for me. Usually in kdramas they really stretch it out even when the plot doesn't demand it, but here it was very much needed and Netflix rushed things in the end, a more romantic, fulfilling end was needed for the main leads, but it just feels rushed and left me with a sense of incompleteness.

The music is good, all 12 episodes are beautifully shot, the script is tight amd there are no lags, no drags whatsoever.

A must watch show. Though I wouldnt recommemd it to those who haven't watched a kdrama yet and this will there first.

I am a huge fan of the original masterpiece (Taiwanese) version of this remake and I have to say, if you watch this with the other one in mind you will be greatly disappointed.

But if you watch this with fresh eyes or you aren't interested in the original you will find this one entertaining and enjoyable and filled with lovely moments.

Best thing of this remake was hands down the female lead, Jeon Yeo, her capacity of transforming herself into the two personalities (Jun Hee & Min Ju ) was amazing, I was in awe every time I was watching her one or the other you could tell who was who immediately! Really good performance.

Not that impressed by the male lead, I watched him in a lot of dramas ( 17 going to 30 my fave so far) and he is a great actor, but I am not sure if this was how his characters were written, or because of the consequence of the time travel and the mix of the personalities, the two characters were so similarly played (Yeon Jun & Si Heon) I could barely tell them apart.

The romance of the drama is good and is a big focus of the series, I felt the chemistry between the leads and it was quite enjoyable for me to watch this remake with this actors as well.

Time travel arcs of the series, along with the crime, thriller and suspense ones , had some holes and some parts made no sense at all, so it gets to a point that you just keep watching and go with it. That was a bit frustrating.

Overall and I say it again, in my opinion you will only be able to enjoy this drama if you don't compare it to the original OR you haven't watched it yet.

So if you haven't, give it a go!

Amazing. Love the romance, love their time travel story, they take us into the story, every episode is very exciting and interesting. The ending of the story was very satisfying and unpredictable.

The moral message of this drama is very interesting, sometimes it's not the people around us who avoid us or don't want to be with us, but without realizing it, our lack of self-confidence and having too high expectations of other people makes us stay away from them.

The difference between kwon min ju and han jun hee is that min ju is a person who is not confident, shy, hesitant so she stays away from his friends and family but he hopes his friends and family approach her while jun hee is a confident, cheerful person so she is loved by everyone. Si Heon can see their differences from their eyes, this is what is called the eyes are the window to our soul.

This drama is fiction but the moral of the story is real.

It is difficult to not compare this with the original but I watched it with an open mind. I did find this to be a good take of the original but it lost a lot of the great things the original have.

For me...

• It failed to build the solid and profound relationship between the male leads. It really wasn't as meaningful as the original.

• Things are more spelled out in this version. The dialogues explain what is going on. The original version on the other hand compels the audience to put the puzzle together because clues are definitely there. The audience becomes more of the mystery-solvers.

• Some of the characters, though existed in the original, did not play a role in the drama (ie. The brother)

• They reduced the adventures of the teens. The adventures of the original shows a before and after situation - and that changes the characters. Because this version had less of it, it is very weak in setting a distinction between two characters. The distinction was instead made in the dialogues (spelling it out)

I like that the drama stayed true to the original for the most part. But its weaknesses were the removal of the some of the greatest aspects of the original. There's a lot going for this drama, and it could have been better - it being a remake. It just didn't dig enough as profoundly as the original.

This series was truly a rollercoaster. First of all, I must say that Ahn Hyo-seop's delivery in this series was wonderful. The acting in general was impressive, but he just stood out to me. I also think this story had the perfect amount of episodes, I was hooked from the beginning all the way 'til the end.

My favorite thing about this series are the emotions it makes you feel. This series was a whirlwind of emotions. I especially liked the nostalgic vibe it brought to the table.

Like a lot of people have already said, this show's biggest flaw is how confusing it is. The plot was really easy to follow up until about halfway through. After like episode 6 or 7 the plot suddenly started to fall apart and it became harder to keep up with everything. Considering this series is about time travel, it could have been even more confusing, but I think I would have enjoyed this more if it had a more clear plot.
