Prepare for an adventure of a lifetime.

No matter how many years have passed since the first man was sent into space, and no matter how far science has come since then, there will always be something magnetic about the unknown.

That is why the science fiction genre, which plays with ideas that may come true in the near future, is so popular among viewers.

If you think that K-dramas are still shying away from exploring time and space, think again. Here are 5 shows that will make you change your mind.

The Silent Sea (2021)

The Silent Sea explores the near future where the Earth suffers from a lack of water. A possible solution leads a group of the most skilled and courageous scientists to the moon in search of a sample that may save humanity.

But the research station they're headed to is full of very dangerous surprises.

Alice (2020)

Where there is time travel, there are certain rules that can't be broken. Where there are rules, there are people who will break them.

In the year 2050, two agents of the time agency Alice, Yoon Tae-yi and Yoo Min-hyuk, must travel back to 1992 to find the precious artifact and deal with those who want to ruin the balance of time.

Signal (2016)

Not only does this show play with the possibility of connecting two different time periods through a device, it also gives its viewers some of the greatest mysteries to enjoy.

Based on some of the real criminal incidents in Korea, Signal is the story of two men who investigate them through an accidentally found walkie-talkie.

My Holo Love (2020)

Creating androids and robots with the faces of existing people may not be a good idea, especially when their personality doesn't really match the obedient demeanor of the invention.

When Go Nan-do, the creator of the AI program Holo, which uses his own appearance, falls in love with Han So-yeon, he finds out just how much he is losing with his invention.

Life on Mars (2018)

Another perfect drama for those who love when time travel interferes with the detective story. When brilliant forensic scientist Han Tae-joo travels through time, he decides to become a detective, but his logical and data-based approach completely clashes with Kang Dong-chul's intuitive method. Now they must work together to reconcile their differences.
