“WHO IS SHE“
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Cast: Kim Hae Sook, Jung Zi So, Jinyoung, Chae Won Been, In Gyo Jin, Seo Young Hee
In “Who Is She,” Grandma Oh Mal Soon suddenly turns 20 again and reignites her dream of becoming a singer. She strides straight into the dazzling prime of life, armed with decades of experience and the face of youth. It answers the question “What if you got a second chance at your dream,” and is a reminder that dreams do not expire, sometimes they are just fashionably late.
“BEST PUNCH“
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Cast: Yoon Si Yoon, Lee Se Young, Kim Min Jae, Cha Tae Hyun
With a similar fish-out-of-water feeling, “Best Punch” adds a lighter, music-infused flavor to the time-travel mix. With a mysterious man who seems to have slipped out of another era, the drama plays with generational gaps and dream chasing in a way that feels breezy and fun. It is less about saving the world and more about finding your rhythm in it, even if you arrive a couple decades off schedule.
“ROOFTOP PRINCE“
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Cast: Park Yu Chun, Han Ji Min, Jung Yu Mi, Lee Tae Sung
In “Rooftop Prince”, the Crown Prince somehow tumbles into the 21st century, where historical robes meet convenience stores, and Palace etiquette meets public transportation. The culture shock shenanigans are well worth the watch, but beneath the fish-out-of-water chaos is a mystery that ties past and present together that keeps it intriguing. It is a romance, a detective story, and a time-slip comedy all bundled into one tracksuit wrapped package.
“KAIROS“
Genre: Suspense
Cast: Shin Sung Rok, Lee Se Young, Ahn Bo Hyun, Kang Seung Yoon
If you prefer your time travel with a racing pulse, “Kairos” is the one. A man and a woman, separated by one month in time, can communicate for exactly one minute a day when the phone rings. That is all they get to try to prevent tragedy. She is searching for her missing mother. He has lost his family in a devastating turn of events. One month apart, one minute at a time, they attempt to rewrite fate. The tension is razor sharp, and each call feels like a lifeline tossed across a stormy sea. It is the kind of thriller that makes you yell, “Pick up the phone!”
“GO BACK COUPLE“
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Cast: Son Ho Jun, Jang Na Ra, Heo Jeong Min, Han Bo Reum, Hang Ki Yong, Lee Yi Kyung
In “Go Back Couple”, an unhappily married couple wakes up as their 20-year-old college selves before they started dating. Suddenly, they have youth, options, and the possibility of never making the same mistake again – as in, never marrying each other to begin with. The drama balances college humor with romantic weight while asking a simple but powerful question: if you could go back, would you choose each other again? Watching them argue as a very unhappy couple was tough, but watching them go back and experience college and love again was well worth the trip!
