About Time
Created by Choo Hye-mi, Kim Hyung-sik
On tvN
A romantic fantasy drama centered on two lovers whose supernatural abilities over time become a metaphor for mortality, commitment, and the desire to preserve what matters most.
Our heroine will have the unfortunate ability to see the “life clocks” of everyone around her, including herself, and the hero will somehow be able to stop her “time” without lifting a finger. This story will follow time that is stopped, extended, and even erased through the love they have for each other.
