One Ordinary Day (Korean어느 날; RREoneu Nal; lit. One Day) is a 2021 South Korean web series starring Kim Soo-hyun and Cha Seung-won. It is based on the British television series Criminal Justice written by Peter Moffat. It premiered on Coupang Play in South Korea on November 27, 2021.[6][7] It is streaming exclusively through Viu outside South Korea.[8]

Synopsis[edit]

On a day no different from any other, a straight-A university student Kim Hyun-soo (Kim Soo-hyun) makes the mistake of his life. Just as any other college kid would, Hyun-soo is on his way to hang out with his friends. Late at night, he takes his father's taxi to head over to where his friends are. Hong Gook-hwa (Hwang Se-on), a sad-looking mysterious girl mistakes Hyun-soo's taxi for an on-duty cab and hops in. That was the beginning of everything. All the choices Hyun-soo made that night leads the normal university student to becoming the prime suspect in a violent murder case. While Hyun-soo shivers from fear and the fact that he is falsely accused, everyone still points to him as the only possible murderer. In this hopeless situation, those who stretch out a helping hand are a low-life attorney, Shin Joong-han (Cha Seung-won), and a criminal kingpin who rules the prison food chain, Do Ji-tae (Kim Sung-kyu). To prove his innocence in any way possible, Hyun-soo gives everything he has to fight against the police and the Korean prosecution.
