11. Signal
So I have listed a lot of k-dramas in the time travel genre and you might be wondering that it’s fake, but trust me, I have watched all of these shows and I am giving you genuine reviews on what you should watch and what you should not. Korean industries have brought a fabulous range of time travel series that I am listing here and now you would definitely get out of the myth that Korean dramas are only Rom-coms.
The signal is another time travel Korean show that released in 2016. So, there is a detective in 1989 and a cold case profiler in 2015 who both are working together to solve a series of related murders. And how do they do that? They are using a special walkie-talkie to communicate with each other and trying to solve these murder cases that have been happening in the span of three decades. Doesn’t this sound interesting?
Let me make it more interesting by telling you that this series is basically inspired by a true incident that occurred in South Korea in Hwaseong. The time travel is fictional but the cases depicted in the show happened in 10 women who were brutally raped and murdered within a 2-kilometer radius from a 13-year-old schoolgirl to a 71-year-old grandmother.
12. Alice
Alice is a South Korean TV series and was released on 28 August 2020. The plot of the story is very basic. A police detective who was investigating a murder in the show and meanwhile doing it he discovers the existence of time travelers. From here the story continues and he keeps exploring how these time travelers are coming in future and then going back to the past. The show got a 7.1 from IMDb. This science-fiction show has gained enough popularity for its second season.
13. Always A Witch
This show might not have received a great rating, but I would suggest it to watch once. A 19-year-old girl, Carmen who is a witch and a slave and is in love with a white man. In her World, she isn’t supposed to that, it’s a crime, and she will be burnt. But she receives some time before she was burnt, so an old wizard gives her the ability to travel through time. She tells her to jump at a time where no one used to believe in witches. When Carmen agrees that she would just use her powers to see that, the old wizard sends her to modern-day Colombia. In Colombia, she starts her brand new life and meets new people and makes new friends, and also goes to college. But one thing that hasn’t changed is- Once a witch always a witch.
The plot of the show is very very different and I would definitely recommend watching this show. You will love Angely Gaviria playing the role of Carmen.

Okay, so the genre of the show is the space western genre, who wouldn’t love that? And you would have sympathized with a number of characters in a web series, say, the game of thrones, but it took time, in this show it wouldn’t. And yes I am giving you some spoilers here so you can skip if you want to, Yoda Lives! Yes, he does and who wouldn’t love watching that.
