A Time Called You

I don't know what should I say. This series stuck in my head now. Truly speaking I enjoyed this drama. Before I start, I've never watched the original Taiwanese version that everyone seemed to enjoy, so this is my view on how I watched the drama without knowing the original plot. I was so excited when Netflix announced this show and cast the artists who are my most favourite.

First for all I want talk about characters. Ahn Hyo Seop, Jeon Yeo Bin, Kang Hoon are main play the lead roles. They are play very well and their performance is so natural and wonderful. Especially Jeon Yeo Bin, Yeo Been does a fantastic job of understanding the character and delivering as both Jun Hee/Min Joo. Ahn Hyo Seop and Kang Hoon friendship chemistry is so good . I love them so much.

A truly gripping story that keeps you hooked throughout all the episodes with lovable characters, great acting performances by the cast and a beautiful OST that adds that something extra. A rollercoaster of emotion. They brought me laughter and sadness. It's make me cry a lot .

I'll totally recommend this drama to anyone and I'll add it to my 2016 list of best dramas released . All the actors did a great job .

It's a solid 10/10 for me .

For the best watching experience I'll suggest you watch it on 1.5x speed but watch it on normal speed when the main leads hyo seop and yeo been are together in a scene.

Their chemistry is everything and more .

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.

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.

The kdrama, although a remake of a Thai series (I absolutely didn't know about) feels fresh. The actors Hyo Seop and Jeo Been have an excellent chemistry and have done a great job playing their roles very well across different ages . The kdrama gives you hope and then takes it away and right when you think it's gone, the writers give you back the hope again. It's ofcourse not the usual rom com kdrama, there's mystery, suspense and thrill, ofcourse with tons of love. The episodes keep you hooked and before you know, you really binge watch all 12 of them at a go. The locations for the shoot are mesmerising and you're in for an overall treat.

Let me be honest. At first, I didn't plan to watch this k-drama, but I did because of Ahn Hyo-seop (I know you are not judging me for that, hahaha), and it was so worth it!

I agree with everyone who said that Jeon Yeo-been's (f lead) performance was outstanding. In that confusing and sometimes shocking time loop, I thought there were different actresses. She managed to play them all too well (like different ages, different people and still played by one person, bravo!)

The main plot as I said earlier was very confusing, yet in a very good way. A few times, I thought that I could predict something, and then everything was changing so quickly that my brain needed to use all of its resources to adapt to the new turns. On Ep.11, it all became overwhelming, and I started to look forward to seeing the final. I'm glad it's 12 episodes and not 16 or more.

While watching the drama, I had thoughts that if I wanted, I could find a lot of gaps or I would have a whole bunch of questions to writers, but I decided to enjoy the series, as sorry, but this is much better and rare than "King the land" or whatever.

Overall I did enjoy watching it. I think you will not regret watching it either.
