The Time I Loved You Looking Very Different than the Original in First Episode Preview

It’s probably safe now to assume that the upcoming K-version of In Time With You will be completely different than the original. I didn’t love the original so it’s fine with me, but I think those who did might want to skip The Time I Loved You unless one goes in with an open mind with the wholesale reinvention. I’m not saying changing up an adaptation is good or bad, that’s a discussion for another day, but for this particular drama it appears most people looking forward to it loved the original so having it be so different in character, execution, and vibe may turn the watch experience into one dominated by criticism solely by the changes. I’m going to see if this version works better for me but so far the early sneak peeks leave me wanting. The drama released the first narrative preview this weekend and it’s not great off the bat. If I didn’t know this was the K-version of ITWY, or if Ha Ji Won was not the lead, there might not even be the urge to check it out.

  • yes yes yes... I could not finish the original and did not get the hype but this one look promising. very looking forward to this :D

  • Ariel is my favorite Taiwanese actress, whereas, Ji Won is my favorite from Korea. I am going in this with an open mind and will not compared.

    Honestly, as much as I really love Ariel, I didn't like her character in ITWY. I am actually glad this adaption is not following the original. The only reason why I like original(not love though) was because I found Bolin's character really sweet and their relationship being portray was very natural and realistic. So hopefully that won't change.

    Anyway, I am still very looking forward to this light heart drama! Fighting Ha Ji Won!!!

  • I mean, how can you expect the TW, JP or SK remake to be the same? I've seen Hana Yori Dango, Meteor Garden and Boys over Flowers, and it's all different.

    Hana Kimi have differences too. Hollywood do have remakes but it's similarity from the original is 10%-50%.

    Everytime I see remakes, I only think of it as reinterpretation of the original work with a lot of differences.

  • Whatttt? How did you not LOVE "In Time With You", it's gotta be up in my Top 3 favorite dramas... the character development and storyline is soo good though. Oh well, to each her own.

  • Didn't love the TW ITWY either though I did watch it till the end as I liked the leads.I like the leads of K-ITWY too especially LJW so going to try it without comparing with the original.

  • Well, I am looking forward to watch this show because of Ha Ji Won and Lee Jin Wok. I've only seen the first episode of TTILY and unable to watch the entire drama. Just going to watch this with an open mind and see where it takes me. Of course, I'll watch anything with Ji Won in it. :) So far, I am loving the teaser.

    My favorite Chinese movie is the Beautiful Life. Moving and a wonderful story. And of course, Qi Shu is one of my bias and Zhang Ziyi.

  • I'm one of those who liked the original In Time With You and was looking forward to this drama mainly because of that reason. The preview does make it seem quite different...it seems more fluffy and cute. So I'm not sure I'm going to like the changes. I'll probably give this a try before deciding whether to skip this or not.

  • Definitely will be watching the drama.This is the first time that I will be watching HJW not playing a poor character.Fighting

  • you're not the only one i try to watch taiwan version but couldn't finish first episode,i'm not too excited about this remake but this teaser looks cute n i like both lead esp LJW so i'm gonna check it

  • I too think mostly anyone who's looking forward to the remake has seen the original. I didn't like ITWY for being so boring and developing a god-awful female lead. But I'm not sure cute-ifying is a solution to that. If the writer was so inclined on making the remake less mature, they should have gone with a much younger actress to pull off the aegyo. Then again, the writer was sacked mid way through so it's not like he/she had a choice. Either the drama is miscast or badly characterized based on the preview. #notexciting
