One Ordinary Day Opening Week Story + Musings
Aiming to go to a party, Kim Hyun-soo uses his father’s taxi without permission. However, he ends up meeting a woman who rides the cab nonchalantly. They end up spending a night on drugs and sexual intercourse. When he wakes up, he finds the woman’s lifeless body with no recollection of what happened.
Poised and polished, Kim Soo Hyun and Cha Seung Won made their drama returns with their trademark stellar acting persuasiveness in One Ordinary Day. Expected to raise an intriguing premise, the series does not disappoint acquainting the predicament of the lead pair.
Neatly introducing the main characters and the conflict that will run through the whole series, viewers can expect to feel like the audience to a trial period in the next six episodes.
Interestingly, we are already given thoughts to ponder on the possibilities if Hyun-soo is really innocent; and what could have happened. Like if he really went crazy somewhere after “that night’s stupor” or if there’s a hidden bigger picture and he was just framed.
The Defendant and the Lawyer
As expected, Kim Soo Hyun’s and Cha Seung Won’s portrayals of the “underdog duo” clinch the majority of driving points to watch in the story.
Modestly opening to a clear and concise narrative trajectory, it established the sticky situation of Hyun-soo. A regular college student who woke up to the sight of a dead woman he previously slept with.
Inevitably, his predicament reaches the prosecutors’ office and he can only rely on an oddball lawyer, Shin Jung-han, who is yet to prove if he’s brilliant enough to pull a miracle.
What To Expect In The Series?
The crime, the criminal, and the court are all set to unravel the truth and lies in One Ordinary Day.
Unfortunately for Hyun-soo, his tiny bit of hope springs from the fact that no one saw him kill the woman. However, the circumstantial evidence marks him confidently as the rightful criminal.
Can Hyun-soo and Lawyer Shin find a decisive argument that can support the former’s innocence?
