A Time Called You is a mystery romance in which Jun Hee (Jeon Yeo Been) who misses her boyfriend who passed away a year ago, fatefully travels back in time to 1998 and meets Shi Heon (Ahn Hyo Seop) who looks exactly like her boyfriend and his friend In Kyu (Kang Hoon).
Fun Genres With A Narrative Twist
Time travel, romance, mystery and love of an old fame and a school crush all these genres are there in the drama “A Time Called You”. It is directed by Kim Ji Won, who has shown his delicate and amazing direction in dramas such as “My Country: The New Age (2019), Just Between Lovers (2017), Hello Monster (2015).
“I loved the original story, but I was also drawn to the emotions of the similar but different characters, and I was curious about the next story. We had to move through different time periods and show different events and emotions of different characters, so we paid a lot of attention to things like connections and collisions that naturally connect time and time periods.”
The chemistry between actors Ahn Hyo Seop, Jeon Yeo Been, and Kang Hoon
The three actors, Ahn Hyo Seop, Jeon Yeo Been, and Kang Hoon, are the perfect foils for the viewer as they navigate through time, deepening emotions, and a variety of genres.
Ahn Hyo Seop says he was “attracted to the way the characters would be portrayed through time,” while Jeon Yeo Been says she needed to communicate with director Kim Jin Won to express “what I believe in when I’m Kwon Min Joo and what I believe in when I’m Han Jun Hee.” “I was fascinated by the story, which doesn’t take a break until the end, and by Jung In Kyu, who seems soft looking but is rational,” said Kang-hoon.
The OST to add the emotion with Korean songs from that time
A Time Called You moves through time zones by listening to specific music. The songs were selected from more than 100 nominations based on the question, “What songs would people listen to over and over again?
“It fits the melodic feel of the series and the atmosphere of crossing time and space,” said director Kim Jin Won. In addition, various remakes and new songs in the drama will catch the eyes and ears of prospective viewers. The lyricless score uses the new age genre popular in the 90s, while the past uses remakes, and the present uses original songs, adding a differentiating touch to the time-traveling story.
Netflix A Time Called You releases first OST Beautiful Restriction by New Jeans (originally by Kim Jong seo in 1996).
A Time Called You will be released worldwide on 8 September exclusively on Netflix.
