5. King The Eternal Monarch

If you’re seeking time travel K-Dramas to watch with a unique twist, “The King: Eternal Monarch” should be your next binge-watch. It ditches the typical tropes of hopping through centuries and instead explores parallel universes. Lee Gon, a stoic emperor from a Korean monarchy, discovers a magical doorway that leads to a modern-day Republic of Korea. Here, he encounters Jung Tae-eul, a fierce detective who doesn’t believe his tales of two worlds. 

Their paths become intertwined as they fight to close the doorway and prevent a malicious force from wreaking havoc. The show blends romance, fantasy, and action, keeping you guessing about the true nature of time and fate. With stunning visuals, a captivating plot, and undeniable chemistry between the leads, “The King: Eternal Monarch” offers a fresh take on the time travel genre, leaving you wanting more. 

4. 18 Again

Craving time travel K-Dramas to watch with a heartwarming touch? Look no further than “18 Again.” Unlike journeys to distant eras, this drama focuses on a second chance. Hong Dae-young, a disillusioned husband and father, gets a magical do-over. He transforms back into his 18-year-old self while retaining his middle-aged memories. Now living as Ko Woo-young, he enrolls in the same high school as his twins.

“18 Again” offers a unique perspective as Dae-young experiences high school life through a different lens. He navigates teenage struggles while secretly observing his family from the sidelines. The drama explores themes of regret, family dynamics, and the power of communication. With a healthy dose of humor and romance, “18 Again” reminds us that it’s never too late to rewrite your story, even if it means starting from square one (and looking a decade younger!). 

3. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

In the mood for time travel K-Dramas watch that blends historical intrigue with epic romance? “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo” will sweep you off your feet. Go Ha-jin, played by our favorite K-Pop soloist IU, a modern-day woman, finds herself transported back in time to the Goryeo Dynasty after a solar eclipse. Thrust into the heart of a royal court filled with scheming princes, she becomes entangled in their lives and power struggles. 

“Moon Lovers” isn’t your typical light-hearted time travel romp. It dives deep into the emotional turmoil of being a stranger in a dangerous past. The romance is both passionate and heartbreaking, as Ha-jin develops feelings for one of the princes against the backdrop of political turmoil. With stunning period costumes, a captivating plot, and a story that will stay with you long after the credits roll, “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo” is a must-watch for fans of time travel K-Dramas that aren’t afraid to pack an emotional punch.

Hope you don’t cry in the end though.

Twinkling Watermelon, Perfect Marriage Revenge & Marry My Husband: Let's send the main character back in time to right a serious wrong... but wait, let's send the love interest too as a "helpmate".

Timeline 1: Sol doesn't know Sunjae knows her, still he remembers and loves her unconditionally

Timeline 2: Sol chases after Sunjae, he falls in love with her even harder

Timeline 3: Teenage Sol rejects SunJae, he waits for her 15 years, didn't waste a second when Adult Sol says she liked him too, confessing his feeling then and there.

Timeline 4: Sol keeps hiding from Sunjae, he finds out the reason and says he would die happily if means he could have memories with her.

Timeline 5: Sunjae forgets Sol's existence, but he fell in love the moment he sees her.

If they love you, they'll love you no matter what- flaws, traits, features, looks, races, classes, genders, or religions. SunJae is the living proof of that.

sun-jae is able to remember things because he's so much in love with sol that even time and space can't erase it. sol erased his love to save his life but his love was simply too strong to disappear from existence. it doesn't have to have a scientific explanation on why he can suddenly remember it. the genre isn't sci-fi time travel. same with hal-meoni maybe there's an explanation maybe because of dementia memories work differently for her

The devil works hard, but truck-kun works harder!

Time travel excellency in k-dramas.

Lovely Runner

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Lovely Runner (2024, South Korea)

Directors: Yoon Jong Ho & Kim Tae Yeop

Writer: Lee Shi Eun (based on the novel by Kim Bbang)

Mini-review:

This is one of those rare dramas where I could tell I was in for something truly special from the very first episode. And it delivered on that initial promise until the very end. Somehow, it got better with every episode. You can just tell everyone involved was incredibly passionate about this project. The writing is both riotously funny and heartbreakingly sad; there are few dramas that have made me laugh and cry as much as this one. The directing and the cinematography also keep things dynamic and visually gorgeous. And the acting... Man, Kim Hye Yoon and Byeon Woo Seok give two of the best performances I've seen in a K-drama; their acting is so nuanced and detailed. Plus their chemistry is crazy, seriously off the charts. Lovely Runner has helped me get through these last couple of months, and I will miss it so so much. Do yourself a favor and go watch it, if you haven't already!

oh dang if i can’t get jeong guwon just let me pack my things to 70s jeong chilwon☺️🙏🏻

“Do you know what I hate the most? When it’s raining. I’ve been in the pool all day so it’s annoying and I hated it when it rains. But then it rained on the first day I saw you. I liked it that day. How can I like something I’ve hated all my life? I thought it was just that day but no, I still don’t hate it until now. I don’t think I’ll ever hate it from now…the rain and you. Sol-ah, I liked you a lot.”
