The Story

 

Han Jun Hee is a 36 year old woman who is transported back to the year 1998, into the body of Kwon Min Ju, a high school student who looks just like her.  But Jun Hee is even more surprised when she sees a classmate who looks just like her boyfriend, who died a year ago.  And while Min Ju may look just like her, Jun Hee soon finds out that their lives and personalities are very different.  And if she can solve the mystery of who would want Min Ju dead, she may be able to save this girl from her own personal tragedy before returning to her own life in the present.

Should I Watch

 

A Time Called You - Unspoiled Review

"A Time Called You" is a time-loop romantic drama.  First off, I have not seen the original Thai version of this show, which many say is much better.  But as a viewer who is new to this story, I found the characters to be interesting and the original approach to time travel dramas intriguing. The acting is well done, and both of the leads get an opportunity to show off their acting chops by playing dual characters.  Unfortunately, there are times when the story is far more complicated than necessary, which leaves plenty of room for plot holes and inconsistencies. So, if you are looking for tight plots and seamless time lines, this one is likely to frustrate you.  But if you are willing to muddle through the confusing who-is-who elements, the drama is a delightful tale of love and destiny.  I give "A Time Called You" an 8 out of 10 ramen.
