Extraordinary You[5] (Korean어쩌다 발견한 하루) is a 2019 South Korean television series starring Kim Hye-yoon, Rowoon, Lee Jae-wook, Lee Na-eun, Jung Gun-joo, Kim Young-dae, and Lee Tae-ri. It is based on the webtoon July Found by Chance which was first published in January 2018 on Daum Webtoon. The series aired on MBC TV's Wednesdays and Thursdays 21:00 (KST) time slot from October 2 to November 21, 2019.[6]

Synopsis

[edit]

The series follows high school girl Eun Dan-oh (Kim Hye-yoon) who is a student at a prestigious academy. One day, by chance, she discovers that the world she lives in is a fantasy world of comics. She and everyone else are merely characters in a comic book entitled Secret,[c] all under the authority of their omnipotent and omniscient Writer. Dan-oh is only an extra character and, worse, the Writer gave her a lame set-up: she is engaged to her long-time crush who despises her, and she has a heart disease and is expected to die soon.

Not satisfied with this fate, Dan-oh decides to forge her own destiny by changing the story's plot and finding her own true love. Her hopes of freeing herself from the Writer's control becomes stronger than before when she unexpectedly meets nameless Student Number 13 (Rowoon). But as the events around Dan-oh and Number 13, whom she named as Haru, gradually start to have parallels with the Writer's previous work Neungsohwa,[d] changing her destiny could have a price to pay.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

The series is based on the webtoon July Found by Chance, written by MooRyuyee. It was serialized on the portal site of Daum webtoon from January 18, 2018, to September 19, 2019.[13]

It is directed by Kim Sang-hyeop [ko] who directed previous hit television series such as Dong Yi (2010), Mama (2014), Glamorous Temptation (2015), and The King in Love (2017).[14]

It was tentatively titled as July Found by Chance (어쩌다 발견한 7월; Eojjeoda Balgyeonhan Chirwol), the same title as the webtoon which it was based on.[15]

Casting

[edit]

On March 27, 2019, it was reported that Kim Hye-yoon was in talks to star in the series.[16] On May 9, it was announced that Rowoon had been cast for the male lead role.[17] On June 10, Kim and Rowoon confirmed their roles, alongside Lee Jae-wook.[18] In the following days, additional cast members including, Lee Na-eun, Jung Gun-joo, Kim Young-dae, Lee Tae-ri, and Kim Ji-in also confirmed their participation.[19][9]

It was later revealed that the casting process alone spanned three months.[20] Initially, Kim Hye-yoon was cast as a candidate for the role of Yeo Joo-da. However, after a meeting with the director, he increasingly saw her as a perfect fit for Eun Dan-oh.[21] Rowoon had originally planned to audition for the role of Baek Kyung. Yet, after in-depth discussions with the director, he was ultimately chosen for the role of Haru instead. Similarly, Lee Jae-wook, who had initially auditioned for the role of Haru, ultimately took on the role of Baek Kyung after the director felt he would better synchronize with that character.[22]

Release

[edit]

The series was initially set for first broadcast in September 25, 2019, but it was postponed to October 2, 2019 to the preemption of the previous show during the Chuseok holiday.[23]

From March 16, 2022, MBC TV arranged a rerun of Extraordinary You in anticipation of the premiere of Rowoon's new drama Tomorrow. This rerun spanned for four weeks.[24] Additionally, on June 6, 2024, MBC also scheduled a two-day rerun on the MBC On channel, specifically on the 8th and 9th, in response to Kim Hye-yoon's sudden surge in popularity due to her role in Lovely Runner.[25]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ The end themes used vary per episode but are all singles from Extraordinary You: Original Soundtrack. See the list of singles for details.
  2. ^ a b In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as single 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as two 35 minute episodes, with two episodes being shown each night with a commercial break between the two.[3]
  3. ^ a b c Korean title: 비밀, RR: bimil
  4. ^ a b c Korean title: 능소화 (stylized as 능소花, replacing 화 with its Hanja equivalent). The title refers to the flowering vine trumpet creeper (Campsis grandiflora).
  5. ^ 13번, RR: Sipsambeon
  6. ^ 하루, RR: haru, "day"
  7. ^ a b The names of the characters Yeo Joo-da (여주다, yeojuda) and Oh Nam-joo (오남주, onamju) uses word play to imply their status in the comic book. "Yeo Joo-da" is based from yeo-ju (여주), the shortened form of yeoja ju-ingong (인공, "heroine" or "female main character"), while "Oh Nam-joo" is based from nam-ju, the shortened form of namja ju-ingong (인공, "hero" or "male main character").
  8. ^ 진미채 요정, RR: Jinmichae Yojeong
  9. ^ a b c The given names of the three girl bullies Il-jin, Yi-jin and Sam-jin have jin () as the second syllable, preceded by the number 1, 2, or 3 in Sino-Korean (일 il, 이 i or yi, 삼 sam) as the first syllable.
  10. ^ Il-jin's name 일진 (iljin), in South Korean popular culture, refers to a notorious kind of bully in schools who is feared for his/her harsh and frequent harassment of fellow students. It could also refer to a group or gang of such bullies.
  11. ^ a b c The given names of the three members of Kyung's fanclub Ae-il, Ae-ri and Ae-sam have ae () as the first syllable, followed by the number 1, 2, or 3 in Sino-Korean (일 il, 이 i or ri, 삼 sam) as the second syllable.
  12. ^ a b c The given names of the three boy bullies Yang-il, Yang-yi and Yang-sam have yang () as the first syllable, followed by the number 1, 2, or 3 in Sino-Korean (일 il, 이 i or yi, 삼 sam) as the second syllable.
  13. ^ Ban-jang's name 반장 (banjang) literally means "class president."[10]
  14. ^ Bo-tong's name 보통 (botong) literally means "being ordinary or average."[11]
  15. ^ Mo-bum's name 모범 (mobeom) literally means "model" or "example."[12]
  16. ^ Jae-beol's name 재벌 (jaebeol) is a reference to the "chaebol", South Korean industrial conglomerate families.
  17. ^ In Moo Ryuyee's July Found by Chance universe, the "Stage" and "Shadow" (originally "Heads" and "Tails") are the two alternating phases of the comic world.
    In the Stage, the Writer takes full control of the comic world as the scenes that are planned in the comic's "Storyboard" play out. Everything that happens and anything the characters say or do are all done as willed by the Writer, thus nothing happens in the Stage unless it is intended by the Writer.
    In the Shadow, the comic world is temporarily detached from the Writer's control. All characters can move or act freely while spaces or objects that exist in the comic world but are not yet drawn by the Writer act strangely (e.g. floating, moving in reverse). Those who have gained self-awareness (e.g. Dan-oh, Jinmichae) can remember events from the Shadow.
  18. ^ a b Performed by Verivery members Minchan, Gyehyeon and Yeonho
  19. ^ Due to the broadcast of a football game for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification during Extraordinary You's time slot on October 10, four episodes aired on October 9.
