Korean Drama Newest Addiction: “Time Slip”
The ongoing drama such as SBS’ ‘Saimdang’, tvN’s ‘Tomorrow With You’, and OCN’s upcoming drama ‘Tunnel’ seem to share the same theme which is “Time Slip”.
‘Saimdang’ presents the ‘time slip’ theme through the story of Saimdang and Seo Ji Yoon who are played by Lee Young Ae. These two characters are somehow connected through a diary that Seo Ji Yoon accidentally found. Seo Ji Yoon lives in the present, while Saimdang lives in the past.
‘Tomorrow With You’ is a drama which combines romance and the ‘time slip’ theme. This drama tells the story of a time traveler named Yoo So Joon (Lee Je Hoon) who is traveling through time by taking a subway, and his wife, Song Ma Rin (Shin Min A).
Lee Je Hoon previously ever played in tvN’s drama, ‘Signal’, which also has ‘time slip’ as its theme.
Tunnel is the part 2 of ‘Signal’ which will unite an investigator with a time traveler. Detective Park Gwang Ho (Choi Jin Hyuk) will go to the 21st century to solve a murder case of a woman in 1980. This drama will take the perspective of an old-fashioned detective who jumps 30 years to the present time just to solve a case that he handles.
