Based on the Taiwanese TV series titled ‘Someday Or One Day’ by Huang Tien-jen, Netflix’s ‘A Time Called You’ is a South Korean fantasy romantic series that follows Jun-hee, a young woman who struggles to come to terms with the loss of her boyfriend Yeon-jun, even after a year of his passing. Somehow, she manages to travel back in time to the year 1998, only to find out that she now inhabits the body of a different person altogether, an 18-year-old girl named Min-ju.
Trying to make sense of this new reality, Jun-hee soon meets Si-heon, who resembles her late lover, and his friend In-gyu. This adds an emotional angle to her already complex journey across time. Created by Kim Jin-won and Choi Hyo-bi, the time-travel drama show provides several stunning visuals to portray different timelines as the protagonist navigates a wide range of locations throughout her journey, which makes the audience wonder about the where and the how of the Netflix show’s production.
