tearful but great
I didn't watch the original series, so i have no comparison point.It s a happy ending, you have to wait the last 15 minutes though !
But I cried at each episode !
The first one shows a woman (Jeon Yeo Been, FL in Vincenzo) who lost a beloved husband (Ahn Yeo Seop, ML in Business proposal) in a plane crash, it s sooooo sad.
The plot is very sophisticated, and shows actors from 1998 to 2023.
In 1998 they look the same, but are they really the same in 2023 ?
The time travel is made through a tape.
The acting is very good, the leads are skilled, the support as well.
The only thing i didnt like, it s episode 8 netflix had to add gay content.... too bad, i love Rowoon ! but this gay romance coming from nowhere is ridiculous.

Mama this is garbage !
the only thing this drama had going for itself was good visuals.writing is actual garbage. super convoluted and complicated to understand who is who in who's body later in the drama.
why would you spend 11 episodes explaining what is going on and how the time traveling works (poorly i must say) just to completely disregard it at the end of the last episode ??? The writers wanted their cakes and eat it too. They wanted the ending to be super sad and dark and depressing but then last minute boom here everyone your happy ending so that you will love this show.
would've gave this a 7 if they ended the drama after the bad guy broke the cassette player. At least the ending would've been super impactful and would make up for the average writing.
no chemistry between the leads. long boring draggy episodes. plot holes everywhere.no jaw.
they put a gay couple in there for 3 minutes before killing them off. and then using Koo Yeon Jun's body and we dont know if he is still alive in his head.
also just realised the people at the end are not the people that we got to know. they're different people with different memories so why should i care if they get together.
... yeah it was bad.
1 star because the ending just pissed me off and made me waste my time.
That man does not have any kind of jaw definition stop lighting him from the bottom that man need some overhead lighting.

ALOT ADO
I watched 9 full episodes than I just wikipedia'd it. It started great, then the story just devolved into something that I lost interest in. They had some scenes that didn't even make sense with the story & I especially hate when they do cameos to get extra watches ie: scene with Rowoon as gay love interest then immediately ends both just sucks & why was it relevent to the storyline as a whole. Again, the actors held up their part but the story was conveluted & too jumping back and forth into decades ust didn't do it for meWas this review helpful to you?

All we need is love
Romance drama with capital R. The story is a little complicated, time shifts make it sometimes hard to follow, but if you are looking for romance you absolutely cannot miss it!The chemistry between ML and FL is awsome and their acting is sooo good. I could feel every single feeling they were representing.
Also the theme of the outcast is well portrayed and describes in a very realistic way how too many teenagers, but also adults, feel about themselves and the people around them. Maybe this aspect was solved in a too simplistic and rushed way, but this because the focus of the drama was mainly love and predestination I think.

Exceeds all expectations. BRILLIANT
This is the first time I’ve felt compelled to write a review on this app. I’ve watched over 100 Korean dramas - at this point I can predict the the entire arc of a drama’s plot by the second episode. Usually when I’m unable to predict a plot twist it’s because it ends up being some cheap cop-out. This is the first drama that has managed to surprise me over and over again without feeling gimmicky. Every time I thought I had it figured out something new would be revealed that would have me rethinking everything. This drama had me kicking my feet yelling “what the heck is going on?!?” at my phone only for everything to make perfect sense in the end. Hands down the best time slip drama out there.Was this review helpful to you?
It really keeps you on the edge of your seat!
I really liked the plot - it was interesting and I looked forward to watching another episode and not once did I know what would happen next. I really felt thrills while watching.But the part I loved the most was the main actress. It was like she was made for that role. Overall all of the cast did such a good job and it was very pleasant to watch.
It might give you a headache but once everything clicks, you realize that it's really worth watching.
One of a very few dramas that I can rate 10/10.

A truly captivating story
I was skeptical and did not watch this for such a long time due to everyone's complaints. Mind you, i tried watching the Taiwanese version a long time ago but for some reason dropped it after the first episode. Most likely not the fault of the drama, I am just not use to Taiwanese dramas and I can understand Korean so i just decided to watch this version.If you are hesitating to watch it like I was, having not watched the Taiwanese version, I say ignore everyone and watch it. I don't see a point in watching this if you already watched the Taiwanese version though. This is a time travel, mystery and thriller kind of drama, it will obviously be less enjoyable if you already know everything that is going to happen? duh! I think people need to stop blaming the Korean version for their lack of interest in this one if they already watched the Taiwanese version.
The acting here was so good, I honestly had to remind myself that the roles of Junhee and Minju were played by the same actress, because that's how good she was! It really felt like different people, and that says a lot because it is so difficult to change character and actually have the audience feel the difference in a way that is not overacting and silly. She was natural, and the emotions felt so real.
The only down point of this drama, which i am sure the Taiwanese drama had too, is the romance. I just wish we understood more why the 2023 junhee was so in love on koo Yeonjun. They just showed a very simple and basic girl meets boy university story, but for one to want to go through all they did to be with each other, there needs to be more of a special connection than just what they showed. This is was most lacking part of the drama for me, but since the story is so interesting and captivating, I was able to forgive it and still say this was a great watch. The kiss scenes are also very Taiwanese drama coded...lol if you watch c-dramas you know what I'm saying.
But anywho, if you do not know what to watch, watch this! But please start it on a Friday night caused you will want to binge it.

Could have finished it in less episodes instead of dragging it.
I had great expectations when I started off with this drama. Both the lead characters dazzled with their acting charm in their respective timelines. The plotholes deeply saddened me considering there were chances to write some scenes in a better way.** Not a spoiler but really wanted In gyu and Min ju to be really use their brains at some point of time.**
While some scenes really were too lengthy and unnecessary, some scenes really touched my heart. Overall a good watch. Ahn Hyoseop was an eye candy in this but most notable was Jeon Yeobeen's double role acting that was marvellous. Kanghoon could have been given more screentime which I am really pissed off as his personality was so kind but storyline for him was shit. I wouldn't watch it again for the story but may rewatch the college dating timeline for it was so good that it will make you feel things.

É INCRÍVEL!
Puta que pariu!!!! Que dorama incrível!!! Eu sei que muitos tiveram dificuldade em entender o roteiro, mas na verdade não é tão difícil.O casting, puta merda, que casting perfeito.
Deram um show, em especial a protagonista, ela simplesmente conseguiu interpretar duas pessoas de personalidades completamente diferentes.
Ela merece um prêmio!!! Eu tô completamente encantada pela história, pelo elenco, pela cenografia e a produção. Foi um dos melhores doramas que eu já assisti. Definitivamente, A Time Called You está entre os meus 5 doramas favoritos!
