The forthcoming Korean adaptation of the wildly popular Taiwanese drama Someday or One Day stars Ahn Hyo-seop and Jeon Yeo-been. The show picked up countless views across multiple Taiwanese platforms after being broadcast in multiple countries and dub-subtitled in several different languages, based on reports that allege that this induced the show’s following to explode. In addition to English, French, Korean, Japanese, and Thai, copyrights have been acquired for over 100 countries. The drama earned accolades for its conceptual originality, thematic novelty, screenplay structure, storytelling technique, and acting, among other aspects.
Someday or One Day is a thriller-mystery-romance-fantasy about a young woman, Huang Yu Xuan (Ko Chia-yen aka Alice Ko), who fails to concede the demise of her boyfriend, Wang Quan Sheng (Greg Hsu), and longs to reunite with him in some capacity. She receives a peculiar package with an audio player and a tape, which she plays and leaps back in time to 1998. More bizarrely, she wakes in the body of high school student Chen Yun Ru (also Alice Ko). Huang awakens in a hospital, locked in Chen’s body, and is startled to see a boy alongside her, Lee Zhi Wei (also Greg Hsu), who resembles her deceased boyfriend.
Though she initially assumes her wish to be reconnected with her lover is now accomplished, she soon realizes that there’s a lot more to reality. Huang gradually resolves the paradox by attempting to alter the past and present through the unknowns of space and time.
While Jeon will take on Han Jun-hee and Kwon Min-ju, the female lead roles, Ahn will have Gu Yeon-jun and Nam Si-heon, the dual roles of Greg Hsu’s characters Wang Quan Sheng and Lee Zhi Wei in A Time Called You. The K-drama’s official teaser has been released and is rapidly gaining momentum. It might be a completely different ball of wax for Ahn and Jeon to be in love as they navigate the murky waters of the past and present, with the characters they play encased in the veils of a painstakingly knit story. September 8 marks the K-drama’s Netflix premiere.
