We all are suckers for dramas that are different from the rest. Being different is not only about having a different storyline but having uniqueness in it. When we talk about time travel dramas, it piques our interest. Time travel dramas are a story about the main character traveling back in the past or to the future. The thing that makes such dramas more interesting is the change in the main character's environment and makes the leads deal with the ultimate shock of time traveling. Also, the way they try to adapt according to the timeline is funny, unique, and refreshing. Few dramas of this genre are:
