Korean actor Kim Soo-hyun will be able to see him in action in the highly-anticipated Korean crime-thriller, One Ordinary Day, set to stream exclusively on Viu on Nov 27. The streaming platform announced today that the new series follows other high profile Viu Korean Original productions such as Lovers Of The Red Sky and Now We Are Breaking Up.
Aside from Kim Soo-hyun who last starred in the hit K-drama It's Okay To Not Be Okay, One Ordinary Day also has South Korean veteran actor Cha Seoung-won and Less Than Evil actress Lee Seol in lead roles. Based on the gripping British drama Criminal Justice, the Korean remake revolves around two men whose lives change completely after a woman is found murdered.
Kim Soo-hyun plays ordinary college student Kim Hyun-soo who, after one drunken night of fun, finds himself the prime suspect in the gruesome murder of a woman he had spent the night with. With all circumstantial evidence pointing at him and the case receiving increasing scrutiny in the media and on social media, the prosecution is eager to declare him guilty.
The only person who comes forward to take his case is Shin Joong-han (Cha Seoung-won), a small-time lawyer who barely passed the bar exam. He decides to help Hyun-soo based on his intuition that he is innocent. With the odds stacked against them, the pair must put up an intense fight to reveal the real perpetrator in a case that will not only change their lives but also shake the criminal justice system of the country.
One Ordinary Day is produced by Chorokbaem Media (Penthouse, Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung), Studio M and Gold Medalist (It's Okay To Not Be Okay). Written by Kwon Soon-gyu (The Royal Gambler, Warrior Baek Dong Soo, Jackpot), the drama is directed by Lee Myung-woo (Backstreet Rookie, The Fiery Priest, Punch, Whisper). With the release of Lovers Of The Red Sky this week on Viu, viewers have something exciting to watch every month.
The fantasy romance historical drama starring Ahn Hyo-seop, Kim Yoo-jung, Gong Myung and Kwak Si-yang is already gaining popularity amongst K-drama lovers. This is the third Viu Korean Original series after the highly successful River Where The Moon Rises and Doom At Your Service.
One Ordinary Day will be preceded by another much-awaited series, Now We Are Breaking Up, starring Song Hye-kyo which will premiere on Nov 12 as a Viu Original. Viu chief of content acquisition & development Marianne Lee, said: "Viu is determined to bring the best of Asian entertainment to our viewers."
"From investing in original productions to securing the exclusive rights to top Korean drama series, Viu constantly offers enthralling shows with a wide selection of Korean content on one convenient platform for our audiences," she said.
