ITWY was just so good. so damn relatable.

Just don't ruin In Time With You

Not idols in this dramas please................

In Time With You ( Korean Cast)

Song Jae Rim & Han Hyo Joo

what do you thing ????

Now, this made me come out of hibernation.

In Time With You was a phenomenon because it was superbly scripted, magnificently acted and wonderfully directed. Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen brought so much life to Xiang Qin and Da Ren that you don't know where the characters ended and the real actors begin.

The dialogues were stark, direct to the point and simple but gosh if it does not hit you right in the feels.

To me, this is one of those tdramas that is of quality and substance which deviates from the slapstick-y, cliched, overacted tdrama norm and here's hoping that the remake will manage to wow the socks off its viewers as much as the original did.

Don't let me down Korea!

(Now, if only they can cast Han Groo as the straight shooting, independent, no holds barred Xiang Qin and Lee Seunggi as the lovestruck, wear my heart on my sleeves and the boy whom you'd love to take home to momma Da Ren in this k-version, my life would be complete).

"story of a hero and heroine who were longtime friends on the cusp of turning 30 who eventually came to realize their feelings for each other. The timing had always worked against them as they’d dated other people"

I've seen this story somewhere...WAIT A SECOND...Coffee House anyone?!

OMG! In Time With You! Chen Bolin! Ariel Lin!

Korean version please be good! I think Yoon Eun-Hye is perfect and Lee Jin-Wook or Lee Joon-Gi.

Frankly i dont like the idea of a Korean remake In Time with You. If its not done by a great cable creating team by the likes JTBC Secret Love Affair type team. Generic creators with daily dramas can hardly capture the realistic, poignant great romance story that is In Time With You.

Remake decent crack dramas like Fated in Love with You and My Queen is one thing but In Time with You is too good for half hearted remake.....

In Time With You was not a drama but a work of art. Somehow I cringe at this news as I can't imagine anyone else playing Chen You Qing and Li Da Ren. Everything from the script to the production to the acting was perfected in a way that I'd never expect from a TW drama. At this point, it seems like the only way left to go would be downhill. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I'll be checking this out until I'm sure I won't be disappointed from the raving reviews.

If there's going to be an In Time With You remake, I nominate Gong Yoo and Jun Ji-Hyun to play the leads - Gong Yoo needs a good drama to offset that awful drama that must not be named, and I think Jun Ji-Hyun has the perfect mix of spunk and vulnerability to play her role. Don't even get me started on chemistry. *sigh*

Oh... No no no no. Please don't touch In Time With You! I have loved both the TW originals and Kor remakes of other shows, I even think some were much better the second time around. But please no, I don't believe a remake of ITWY can ever do it justice or an improvement. Just, no.

Here's to a hope that Yoo Yeon Seok and Kang Sora will headline this drama..

In Time with You is one of very few Taiwanese dramas that I can stomach (aka Director Winnie's work). Unlike some dramas that should never have been remade in the first place e.g. Nodame Cantabile, I think this one can really work if they choose a decent PD.

Nooooo please don't ruin my favourite ITWY! It was a legend. The acting, the directing, the plot were all just perfect. I don't think a korean adaption will do it justice.

We need somebody that doesn't shy away from good kissing.

OMG In Time With You! Just watched that recently and I still have too many feels about it.

The only person who comes to my mind as Li Da Ren is Yoon Kye-Sang .
Chen Bolin was perfect as the best friend in love he was so fragile so human that it hurts me just thinking about Li Da Ren ..Yoon Kye-sang pulled a much similar performance in beyound the clouds ( such an underrated drama) ..

ITWY is my all time favourite drama , i really hope if they do a remake they don't ruine it ..i want to preserve that great memory

Man I love In Time with You it's one of the only four Taiwanese dramas I've ever finished. I really hope that they don't screw it up. I will say this I think Korean and Taiwanese dramas have more in common than either have in common with Japanese dramas, so I guess I'm optimistically hopeful, depending on the cast.

ITWY is my favorite drama ever. It is beautifully written, acted, and directed. Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen are absolutely stellar and the direction is thoughtful and lovely. I'm really not too thrilled about the fact that it's getting adapted.

It is mostly drama-free in a way I've yet to see 95% of K-dramas be. Chen You Qing and Li Da Ren are also pretty special as protagonists. You Qing is mature--the ambitious businesswoman who feels a little weird about being 30. At the same time, she's not as one-dimensional as I've seen career women be, where they're soo icy and our puppy male lead brings them back to life. She's vulnerable, emotional, fun, sweet, bossy. And Li Da Ren plays the friend who's in sort of a denial about his feelings for her, a total puppy (I only see this in noona romances).

Even the supporting cast (maybe save Maggie) is not annoying. There's no icy, rich girl/guy chaebol second lead. This drama had so much warmth and heart and dimension. Nearly every k-drama adaptation of 2014 has been a miss, and I'm not really looking forward to my favorite drama being turned into a mess. I'll try and remain optimistic.

For Chen You Qing, I think someone who doesn't do too much aegyo, who's authoritative but likable would be good. Kim So-yeon can pull it off.

For Li Da Ren, maybe Lee Seunggi, or Yoo Yeon-seok.

I LOVED ITWY it was the first and only Taiwanese drama that I actually marathoned and wanted to watch it through. Ariel as Chen You Qing and Bolin as Li Da Ren were so perfect, both together and individually! And the side characters were also all quite good and realistic.
Kdrama please please do not ruin it - ITWY is so popular that people will definitely compare it to the original, and it's hard to surpass or reach the awesomeness that it was.

Wow, everyone seems to love In Time with You unconditionally.

I liked the basic premise and it's a better TW-drama than many, but by the end Ariel's character annoyed the hell out of me (memories of her ISWAK character didn't help) and Bolin's just badly needed a backbone. Still think she didn't deserve such a good guy like him. Mostly, the drama dragged towards the end, I would have liked it much better if it hadn't (I could have done without a couple of specific scene – that bizarre wedding night?!?!?!).

Perfectly suited for a remake though – the premise & character types & many details can easily be carried over to a Korean context. More of a question of the right casting I'd say.

I don't think they can remake In Time With You and make it as good as the original. I generally don't like Taiwanese dramas, in fact I've only liked 2 so far, but I hope the cast will be good...

Interesting. ITWY was really successful although I can't see it being adapted well since it was very simplistic without much dramatics. I'm personally not a fan of it and found the female lead character quite insufferable. Ariel Lin was great but her character - not so much.

Li Da Ren was great though, and I can think of a whole lot of k-actors who can pull off the character with as just as much heart as Bolin did. Hopefully it'll turn out better than the original!

mmm, I'm not too fond of this idea either, mostly because I loved the directing from this show. It was a very good show, for the reasons that have been reiterated in previous comments. The characters themselves aren't that much different from the usual main characters you see in Korean dramas either.

This is the first time I've seen the original of a remake. I'm already a little concerned because while I love kdrama more than tdrama, I've always considered In Time With You to be flawless. Not only that, it had far more wiggle room with adult subject matter than a kdrama does. She's a grown woman who sleeps with her grown man boyfriend even though it's clear he is not the OTP. The only kdrama's I can think of where that happened were the I Need Romance series. I hope it airs on cable so they don't have to sanitize it.

Writer of Full House??
Can somebody reunite Song Hye Kyo and Rain please??

I haven't watched the original, so I didn't know how the original characters but I wish the actors and the writer will do justice to the original drama.

Love love ITWY. Ariel and Bolin acting was effortless. I don't have high hopes for this remake because the chemistry and acting of both actors were superb. Love their interactions.

I jumped on the In Time With You hypewagon sometime back and thought it was just okay. I can see how it was tonally very different from other TW dramas and why it might be popular. But it bored me out after a while. Kinda felt like it could have ended a few episodes before it did.

"story of a hero and heroine who were longtime friends on the cusp of turning 30 who eventually came to realize their feelings for each other. The timing had always worked against them as they’d dated other people, and their romantic developments were told in a realistic, poignant way ......."

reminds me of '9 ends 2 outs' by Soo Ae and Lee Jung Jin that was aired in 2007

In time w/ you is my fave Taiwanese drama of all time. No pressure for Koreans however I hope it will be as good.

I'm still waiting for the day they do a Korean remake of "Autumn's Concerto." :)

Not the writer of Full House and Attic Cat, please. If I was the producer, I'd get the writers of Coffee Prince, Soulmate, 9 Ends 2 Outs, Marriage Not Dating and Coffee House. And I'll broadcast it on cable.

In Time With You is a character-driven and slice-of-life drama. I love ITWY even though there were times when I hated Li Da Ren and Chen Yu Qing. But that's what makes a show perfect. Flawed and relatable characters.

I don't care if the producers cast an idol as secondary characters--as long as they cast talented A-list actors who can deliver these real and flawed characters well.

Chen Bolin :)

Just wanted to say that Chen Bolin was a sweetheart. He actually gifted Ariel's $100000 NTD that whoever gets married first before turning 35, the other person have to gift that amount (a promise made in the drama 'ITWY'). (Side Note: She's getting married on Dec. 24).

I hope the K-version won't butcher the story. Frankly, I'm having a hard time finding any good Korean actor and actress to play Li Da Ren and Cheng You Qing.

ooo... the actors itself need to have atleast acting chop! for now... among of the actors that i can think of are:

actors:
1.lee jin wook
2.lee jong suk
3.yoo yoon seuk
4.lee jun ki
5.yoo seung ho(damn... he still look young...)
6. seo kang joon

actress:
1.jung so min
2.yoon eun hye
3.han hyo joo
4.han groo
5.jun ji hyun
6.kim ji won
7. jung ryeo won

Personally, I will not watch the remake of in time with you, unless they pick actors and actresses i like and i know can deliver, because I know it's going to be ruined. In time with you was one of those taiwanese dramas that i watched simply because i was bored but till this day it is the best taiwanese drama in that it is realistic and just so well written, followed by my second fave, In a Good Way:)

Kdramas have this terrible pattern where a drama might start out good but eventually becomes too melodramatic and i'm not here for that when it comes to in a good way. I mean, the drama is melodramatic but it was executed perfectly but im not sure about that happening with the korean remake

I love love loved In Time With You! I watched that over one of the holiday breaks earlier this year and I remember marathoning it in 2 days. It didn't have any extravagant scenes, complicated plot lines, or anything like that but it spoke to you (or at least it did to me). It was a simple, slice-of-life drama that left the viewer with little parting words at the end of each episode about the heroine's realizations about getting older. I liked those bits and it actually got me a bit worried because I somehow related to the things she said. :)) I'm nowhere near 30 yet but I like this drama's somewhat mature and realistic take on everyday life and relationships.

It's a marriage of the writer, the director and the actors' work that made this click. In fact, I liked it quite a lot that I feel torn about this being remade. Part of me is curious about who they'll cast and how it'll turn out but the other half (the bigger chunk) is worried that they'll just ruin it. This has to be aired on a cable channel. ITWY's style won't work on the big 3 networks where glitz and extravagance is often needed. It's a quiet, simple little show with characters that feel like your friends and neighbors. It gave me the same feel with dramas like Reply 1997, Coffee House, 9e2o, The Pursuit of Happiness, and movies like Sunny and You're the Apple of My Eye --- fairly simple but quite lovely.

I loved In Time With You..... The male lead is the good guy from beginning to end and gets the girl..... The friend who made it out of the friendzone.

For Li Da Ren , I want someone with the same feeling as Chen Bolin....... He was both laid back and charismatic in his role....

As for You Qing, I don't know....

I've always fantasized casting Kim So Eun and Kim Bum for ITWY. OMG, they need to work together again!

Why can't korean producers and scriptwriters come up with

their own original korean story instead of remaking and

copying other people works ? We had seen some copycat

versions lately, no talent left in S KOREA ?
