Someday (KR drama) on AZN

썸데이

SOMEDAY is a Korean drama from OCN network (I caught an episode or two) while I was in Korea last December (2006). I found it interesting as it utilized some manga/animation in it. It was on Fridays at 11pm. I remember Bae Doo Na (Country Girl) and I like her acting. My mom says she is not pretty. I told her she was a model but being one is not only having the figure but distinctive look and she has it. She plays what seems to be cold and emotionless manga artist Hana Yamaguchi (half Korean/Japanese). Her folks left her at a young age and she lives with her grandmother in Japan. Go Jin Pyo (Kim Min Joon-also a former model) is a handsome doctor who also is a closet manga enthusiast (otaku) and big fan of Hana's work. Someone whom Jin Pyo uses to find lost patients is Lee Seok Man (lost his family in a fateful car accident). He looks for people for a living and took on the car accident's victims debts. Jin Pyo's close friend Hyo Young is a high powered business woman who does not realize her true feelings for her close, good friend until Hana comes into the picture. It is a love square (very typical in Korean dramas).

It started last week and is only 16 episodes long. I love the songs and the characters. I will have to rent it as I missed a few episodes but thus far I have been enjoying it.

Someday is about four different people's story about love.

Hana Yamaguchi (Bae Doo-Na) was a successful young cartoonist in Japan. Abandoned by her parents and brought up by her grandma, she was cold and aloof and did not believe in love which to her was only a simple biological response. When the elderly neighbourhood street sweeper died, she discovered the affection between him and her neighbour which lasted 60 years. Hana could not understand this kind of love, so she decided to trace her neighbour's footstep to Korea when she disappeared with her lover's ashes.

Go Jin Pyo (Kim Min Joon) was a doctor who was a comic book fan of Hana. He was overjoyed in meeting Hana and believed that he was in love for the first time in his life. He decided to help Hana in fulfilling her wish to look for her neighbour and enlisted the help of a private eye, Lee Seok Man (Lee Jin Wook).Lee was the sole survivor of a car accident whereby his parents and brother were killed. He carried a lot of guilt towards the parents of the other victim and did his best to help out even at the expense of owing money to the loan sharks.

Hye Young (Oh Yoon Ah) was a PD of animation projects and a close friend of Jin Pyo. she didn't realize that she was in love with him till Hana appeared.

In bringing her neighbour's love story to fruition and published in print, the process changed the lives and outlook on love for these four people.
