About My Perfect Stranger TV Series:

My Perfect Stranger (Korean: 어쩌다 마주친, 그대) is a South Korean fantasy mystery romantic television series directed by Kang Soo-yeon and Lee Woong-hee and starring Kim Dong-wook and Jin Ki-joo. The first script reading of the cast was held in April 2022.

Some fashion styles of the 2020’s, like the clothing Baek Yoon-young wears, are adopted from the 1980’s. Therefore, when she travels to the past, though her clothes are 3 decades ahead, she fits right in.

The series aired on KBS2 from May 1 to June 20, 2023, every Monday and Tuesday at 21:45 (KST). It is also available for streaming on Kocowa, Viki, and Viu in selected regions.
