My Perfect Stranger (Season 1)

My Perfect Stranger (어쩌다 마주친, 그대, 2023) is a South Korean time-travel mystery series you can watch online on iFILM. A young TV anchor and a publishing-house editor who once dreamed of writing fiction crash into 1987 with no plan and very different agendas — he's hunting a serial killer whose case was never solved, she's trying to stop her parents from ever meeting.

Directed by Kang Soo-yeon and Lee Woong-hee, the series works because the crime plot and the time-travel romance don't give each other room to breathe. Seo Ji-hye and Kim Jong-su play people who have every reason not to trust each other — and the show takes its time making that change mean something.
