O Tempo Traz Você pra Mim

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.

Six episodes in right now and this is a terrific show. Enjoying each one. I almost didn't make it past the first two tough, they were slow and confusing but it gets better incredibly fast. The acting is very good, writing is great, and the mystery is intriguing. Time travel here is done differently than I've seen before which is a good change of pace. As it's checking all these boxes it's also sets a theme that's important- being positive is a choice and your internal perception of the world can truly influence the energy of those around you and keep you from achieving the things you want in live. Worth the watch, give it a shot.

Wonderful balance between dramatic romance and mystery. Upon finishing watching this, I was really confused to the point I had to look up for reviews and explanations online to connect all the dots. It's complex and you must pay attention to every single scene after Ep 7 so you can understand the whole plot. There could be less plots though, because there were so many that you had to remember random scenes that happened like 3 eps ago to understand, but I know that was the whole point of the show. Antagonist was kind of unexpected. When I say to pay attention to the show, I mean it. It's easier to understand when you look at the story in Yeon Jun/Si Heon's point of view (something that the show doesn't primary offer since the show is based on Min Ju/Jun Here's perspective). If you're looking for a light drama, I wouldn't recommend this as it's complex and can have you thinking for some minutes to comprehend everything that's happening. As someone who was waiting for this drama for 2 months now, it really surprised me and it was really unexpecting as I expected something more light and more based on just a simple time-travel thing, but ended up watching a show full of plots. I'm not really a fan of mystery and complex k-dramas, but this was surprisingly good. Once you understand every single plot, it's way easier to comprehend the whole show. Good overall and it's worth watching.

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.

For those who do not know, this is a remake of the 2019 series from Taiwan called Someday or One Day. The original series in my opinion is much better ( as most originals are).

The reason being is that the acting from Alice Ko and Greg Han. As well the tightness of the editing makes the series more captivating and the mystery linger longer. As well, because I loved the original so much, watching this remake, I continuously want to compare it to the original.

I do find that they did very much keep the story similar, with some elements here, and there that they changed.

This series is pretty OK but I sincerely do feel everyone should check out the Taiwanese one.
