I wonder

I think 'fantasy' would be more apt, since it's not really about time travel at all.

Id go with science fiction/mystery/fantasy.
Simply because you dont know the truth being it all till the end.

Actually, after seeing the whole series, I would say no because it didn’t really have any science-fiction in it (the Mars referred to in the title never really had any bearing on the story). The American remake on the other hand could be categorized as sci-fi because it had some robotic bugs and stuff which opened the door to the possibility that he was abducted by aliens or living in some kind of Matrix type of virtual reality (in the first episode, Sam made a list of all of the possible explanations including some sci-fi ones).
