You are young, restless, thirsty and horny and your friends ask you to join them at a party where all your vices will be taken care of.
But you are also broke. So what do you do? Of course you steal your dad’s car and hope nobody notices until you come back the next morning.
Life is supposed to be that straightforward unless what you are driving happens to be a cab and you stop unknowingly at a taxi stand. A young woman jumps in and insists that you take her to paradise. You resist, because you are not really a cabby, but she is gorgeous and insistent. Fast forward, you end up in her big house where more fun await. Then you wake up. It’s not a nightmare, this is for real.
Now what?
Welcome to One Ordinary Day. Now playing on Viu.
Based on the very popular BBC Criminal Justice, this K-drama packs in a great deal in 8 episodes when it is usually 16 or 24 by Korean norm.
Cha Seung-won plays Shin Joong-han your third-rate unclean lawyer you cannot hate because despite his shortcomings, you know he is a fighter of lost causes. I reckon many young people will want to study law because of him. One of the top hot bad asses in Korea, it may take you a while to get used to his ugly hairdo this time. But he is good, no doubt.
Watch Kim Soo-hyun’s alter-ego Kim Hyun-soo and be amazed by his slow transformation from an innocent college kid to a would-be gangster.
I do wonder often why would Koreans remake British or American series. I think the answer can be as simple as – they are good at making ordinary even better and they are not afraid to do that.
You will to punish me for losing my objectivity? Take a number, join the line.
