A Promising Start That Fades Too Soon(for me)

Set in the 1960s on Jeju Island, this heartfelt drama follows Oh Ae-sun( played by IU), a bold and rebellious young woman who dreams of becoming a poet despite growing up in poverty. With no access to formal education, she refuses to let her circumstances define her, expressing herself through her love for literature.

On the other hand, Yang Gwan-sik(played by park bo-gum) is a hardworking and reserved man who has always silently watched over Ae-sun. Though he doesn’t say much, his actions speak volumes, his unwavering devotion to her shapes the course of both their lives.
Reviewww~~~:

I have to say, I loved the beginning of this drama. The setting in the 1960s made it feel unique since I don’t usually watch K-dramas from that time period. The historical backdrop added an interesting layer, and the acting was incredibly realistic—IU and Park Bo-gum truly carried the emotions of the story.

But despite the strong start, I ended up dropping it. The romance followed the usual K-drama formula, and once the couple got together, there just weren’t enough exciting moments or new phases to keep me hooked. It started feeling like many other slow-burn romance dramas, and the lack of action made it drag for me.

Yes, it made me cry, and that’s thanks to the brilliant acting, especially from IU and Park Bo-gum. If it weren’t for them, I probably would’ve dropped it after the first episode (not saying other actors are bad! 🙏).

As for the OST, I honestly didn’t notice anything particularly memorable. No standout music or songs stuck with me after watching.

Final thoughts? If you’ve seen a lot of romance K-dramas, this one might feel overrated because it doesn’t bring anything new past the initial setup. It’s beautifully acted but lacks enough twists or action to keep it truly engaging.

A drama that will twist your mind, and leave you thinking about it long after it ends.

First of all the synopsis:

"A Time Called You" is a South Korean drama that blends romance, time travel, and mystery. The story follows Han Jun-hee, a woman grieving the loss of her boyfriend, Gu Yeon-jun. One day, she mysteriously wakes up in the body of a high school girl, Kwon Min-ju, in 1998. There, she meets a boy who looks exactly like her late boyfriend. As she navigates this new reality, secrets unravel, and love defies time itself.

Now for my reviewww~~~
First of all, the music, especially "Gather My Tears", has been stuck in my head since last year! It’s so beautiful and emotional, perfectly fitting the drama’s melancholic tone.

At some points, the story gets a bit confusing, especially when trying to figure out who the murderer is. At first, I think many of us(who watched it <: ) suspected In-gyu, thinking he killed Yeon-jun out of jealousy since he also had feelings for the main character. But as the story unfolds, everything starts making sense, and we realize that the real killer was someone else. The mystery was well done, keeping us hooked until the truth was revealed.

And oh, did this K-drama make me cry so much! 😭

That ending made me cry more than ever... I wanted a happy ending where they end up together! Instead, we get one of those "up to your imagination" endings. 😭 Aghhh! Still, the storytelling, the acting, and the emotions make it 10000/10 recommended! If you love emotional rollercoasters, this is for you. Please don't lose your time and watch it ! You will totally not regret it
