A Time Called You is a South Korean television series released on Netflix on September 8, 2023. It is a remake of the Taiwanese drama “Someday or One Day“. The series stars Jeon Yeo-been as Han Jun-hee / Kwon Min-ju, a woman who travels back in time to 1998, where she meets a man (Ahn Hyo-seop), who looks exactly like her late boyfriend. The series has been created by Kim Jin-won and Choi Hyo-bi.
“A Time Called You” is a Korean romantic series that has all the elements to appeal to the most romantic audiences: a structure of flashbacks, intertwining characters, stories of missing people, and above all, love, always present in the hearts.
This is a series that we recommend watching while being deeply in love. If not, you might find another type of series more entertaining. It’s a series that evokes strong emotions.
About “A Time Called You”
“A Time Called You” is a very classic series, in a romantic style, with all the essential elements for a good love story, one of those timeless stories that manage to transcend the barriers of space-time (almost literally) and tragedies.
You know, love conquers all.
Here we also have a teenage love triangle, a charming and tender story that unfolds slowly, very gradually and even subtly, with the incredible charm of Korean landscapes and their flowers.
“A Time Called You” is a great series for romantics. Only for romantics? I would dare to say almost exclusively, yes: the emotions are so overflowing and possess such purity that, if we become sarcastic, we could label the series as naive or lacking interest.
But it won’t be like that for those who seek a series full of emotions and even innocence, because in this aspect, “A Time Called You” will give the audience what they want, in a technically well-executed series with an interesting, mysterious, enchanting, and very tender story.
