Time Travel Dramas, Ranked

the standard to which I hold all other time travel romances

slow build, incredibly strong plot, one of the few dramas whose OST I revisit regularly (tw suicide)

very intense, excellent execution of a time loop

a genuinely good adaptation, mostly docked a half star just because the OST isn't as good as the original (tw suicide)

one of the cleverest uses of time travel I've seen, plus the romance is adorable

Bella is so charming she manages to win over her fiance who hates her (and tries to exorcise her since he believes she is a being of unknown origin possessing the body of his dead fiance, although like he's not wrong) as well as everyone else she meets; plus a huge helping of Thai history 101

I really didn't expect to like this as much as I did

so soft, so gay

what a fucked up romance (affectionate); lost steam in the last arc

loved the twist of a boy using time travel to manipulate a girl into falling in love with him but instead he falls in love with another boy, and the take that time travel isn't a short cut, you have to put in the work to change yourself and your life

passably cute, not much to the mystery but it's to be expected of a bitesize show like this

respectable, but I was most fascinated by "X" whose full backstory we. never. GOT.

Kim Seul-gi should be in more dramas

I'm annoyed that I didn't like this drama more. gay time loop romance?? I should have been all about this!! but the execution didn't do it for me

this drama has the weirdest energy. I binged it in one weekend but I'm sorry, how was Mickey He not the ML??? he was the most compelling male character by far!!

this one was...odd

I know this is popular (polarizing?), I still don't know how I feel about it

this was weirdly compelling for being so low budget and not technically good

there were elements of this show I really liked, but overall it's uneven

this drama made almost zero impression on me

this was an infuriating trash heap of a show that made little to no sense, I'm amazed I finished it

tw assault

this kid is going places (unlike the drama, which is actually terrible)
