I just finished watching the new K-drama series 'A Time Called You.' It is a remake of a Taiwanese series called- Someday or One Day. I haven't watched it so no comparisons here.
At the beginning, I thought it might be like any other time travel drama, but by the time I reached episode 7, I realized it had much more to offer. The hospital-coma scene even reminded me of a Korean movie I watched a while ago, 'Be With You.'
Every episode had me on the edge of my seat, thinking I had it all figured out, only to be surprised by unexpected twists and turns. I had to pay close attention because of the back-and-forth storytelling, but it was worth it. Yeo Been's performance was outstanding, especially in how she portrayed the two different characters.
Ahn Hye Seop, Kang Hoon, and Rowoon also did a great job, and Rowoon's guest appearance was a pleasant surprise. Even though the antagonist was revealed, the way they added a twist to it was quite clever.
I agree, some aspects of the time travel phenomenon weren't entirely explained, like why there were two people with the exact same face. I also found it puzzling how Chan Yeong looked exactly like his older brother. That resemblance was indeed a mystery for me. It seems like that's just how the world of 'A Time Called You' works. And regarding the Christmas tree scene, it's possible it was a dream or a wishful moment for Si Heon, as it didn't seem to fit the timeline.
Overall, it was a gripping watch, and I admire my decision not to spoil the suspense by Googling for answers. It's definitely a one-time watch, and while you may not plan to rewatch it, it's worth experiencing once for sure.
