From what I saw in the teaser, A Time Called You is very similar to the original version. They seem to remake the iconic scenes with different language and actors. Won’t it be called plagiarism then? And Ahn Hyo-seop already seems to fail to live up to Greg Hsu’s performance. Jeon Yeo-been and Kang Hoon still look good so far. Hope this will be a good project for Kim Jin-won🥲.

    Ahn Hyo-seop looks completely sparkleless, while Greg Hsu was like a sparkling rainbow in every scene.

      Yeah if this will be an almost exact copy then Ahn Hyo-seop is going to fail miserably to play both Wang Quan-sheng and Li Zi-wei. He looks and speaks just like Seo Woo-jin to be honest.

        It doesn’t help that I’m watching Unlock My Boss and Chae Jong Hyup reminds me SO MUCH of Greg Hsu! He would have been perfect both as Wang Quan-sheng, and as Li Zi-wei.

      Greg Hsu is a natural, very charismatic without even trying.

      Anh Hyo-seop has been improving but I’m afraid there’s still some gap. Funnily enough, my favorite character of AHS is Chan from 30 But 17. If he could channel the Chan energy into this drama, it’s then worth anticipating.

    How is it plagiarism?!? It’s a proper, licensed adaptation! Of course there’s gonna be the same or similar scenes 😅

      Sorry if I offend you in any way, I’m not trying to be disrespectful. It’s just based on the teaser alone I saw very similar iconic scenes from Someday Or One Day, which in my personal experience is quite rare for a Kdrama adapted from or based-on other sources (and with the never ending accusation of plagiarism about idols’ songs I assume it is a sensitive subject in South Korea).

      But I just read Asian Wiki called it a remake, I assume means they’re renewing the old version. So probably the similarities are justified.

        No, I’m not offended at all!! 🥺
        Sorry, I guess my use of punctuation made my comment come out harsher than I intended! 🙏

    It’s not plagiarism if the Korean production team went through the proper avenues to acquire (buy) the copyright of the original to make an adaptation 👍🏻
