There are many remakes that bring a special touch to the original story - changes that add value or flesh out relationships that were under represented in the original. Take F4 Thailand for example. That's a worthy remake of Hana Yori Dango.

A Time Called You is nearly a shot-by-shot remake of Someday Or One Day. The only thing it's added is a higher production gloss to the story. What it's taken away though is tension, subtlety, intensity, and depth of feelings.

It's also cut out many slower moments that had helped build out the world and relationships. But most egregiously, the writer and director chose to cut scenes that fleshed out Min-ju and In-gyu's perspectives.

The time Someday Or One Day spent on those two helps viewers understanding why the ending was what it was.

ATCY treats them as secondary characters, rivals getting in the way of fated lovers. And that's a real loss for viewers who will only watch this K-drama version.

Finally, this was a waste of Jeon Yeo-been's abilities. She has already shown in Be Melodramatic that she can play a depressed, reserved character with amazing impact. But it felt like she was never allowed to tap into any depth as Min-ju in ATCY. With the exception of one scene, which just proved to me that she was holding back throughout.

Ahn Hyo-seop was just mis-cast. I love the guy, but this role was not for him.

Loved the Rowoon cameo though!
