‘One Ordinary Day’ Episodes 1 and 2: Cha Seung Won Searches High and Low to Clear Up Kim Soo Hyun’s Name
The much-anticipated crime and suspense drama "One Ordinary Day" starring Kim Soo Hyun and Cha Seung Won recently premiered, stirring buzz from fans and viewers.
"One Ordinary Day" follows the story of Kim Hyun Soo, a regular college student who was wrongfully accused of committing a harrowing murder one day.
The well-written crime series takes everyone's breath away with its first two episodes. Here's a brief recap of what went down in the pilot episodes, in case you missed it!
'One Ordinary Day' Episode 1: Kim Hyun Soo Becomes a Murder Suspect One Ordinary Day
In "One Ordinary Day" episode one, Kim Hyun Soo's (Kim Soo Hyun) regular and uneventful life as a college student turns upside down as he becomes the prime suspect of a harrowing murder case.
To Hyun Soo, school is his main priority rather than having fun with friends and spending tons of money on alcoholic drinks. However, one night, he goes out late to visit his friends at a pool party.
He sneaks out of his father's taxi business, but unexpectedly takes the wrong road. When he passes by an entertainment district, Hong Guk Hwa (Hwang Se On), a woman of his age gets into the taxi, dragging him into her home.
Guk Hwa's house is huge, and as he roams his gaze around, the woman hands her a drink, one after another.
Drunk and dazed, the two spend the night in a steamy and passionate interaction before finally falling asleep. The next day, Hyun Soo wakes up on her bed on the second floor, head pounding.

Despite being embarrassed, Hyun Soo finds his guts to say goodbye to the woman. But his blood rises up to his face and cold sweat trickles from his spine to his back as he sees the woman lying on the floor, bleeding and dead.
Still in a state of shock, Hyun Soo runs away from the beautiful home. But an eyewitness sees him running away, immediately alerting the police.
Because Hyun Soo is seen running from the dead woman's home early in the morning, and the car the woman was riding also points to Hyun Soo, detective Park Sang Beom (Kim Hong Pa) arrests Kim Hyun Soo.
'One Ordinary Day' Episode 2: Shin Jun Han Searches High and Low to Prove Kim Hyun Soo's Innocence
After the heart-stopping and fast-paced arrest of Kim Hyun Soo, a third-class lawyer who barely passed the bar exam approaches Hyun Soo.
Unlike many other lawyers, Shin Jun Han (Cha Seung Won) does not pry nor ask. Lawyers need every single bit of detail to represent their client but after Shin Jun Han and Kim Hyun Soo meet, the lawyer tells his poor client not to say anything about what happened that one fateful night.
Despite being confused and worried, Kim Hyun Soo decides to trust the lawyer as he is the only one person he could trust at the moment.
Because all eyes are on Hyun Soo, even when his parents visit him in a quiet room, Jun Han warns Hyun Soo to not say a thing, as every interview and conversation Hyun Soo has is recorded and can be held against him.
On the day of Hyun Soo's examination, the detective who arrested him puts him in a different outfit, which only completes his new identity as a criminal. Kim Hyun Soo is then arrested and transferred to prison with many other criminals.
