5 Reasons Why You Must Watch the Latest Korean Drama 'OUR BLUES', Interesting Plot Until the Return of Kim Woo Bin!

1. Unusual Storytelling Technique - Set on Jeju Island, OUR BLUES follows the lives of 14 interconnected characters - some of whom are friends, neighbors, and relatives - through their activities at Seopseop Market, Pureung Village.

Each episode will present a story focused on one or two individuals, but still colored by the presence of various characters who are highlighted in other episodes. This is what makes the storytelling technique very unique and different.

The scriptwriter of OUR BLUES, Noh Hee Gyoung, expresses her desire to support everyone through this drama. "The omniverse storytelling format is something I have wanted to try in a drama for a long time. I don't understand why almost all stories revolve around a man and a woman, when in real life we are all main characters," she said.

2. Outstanding Cast and Chemistry - Renowned actor Lee Byung Hun will showcase a different side from his previous roles as Lee Dong-seok, a truck driver who was born and raised on Jeju Island.

In a press conference held today, Lee Byung Hun stated, "I have always hoped to work with Noh Hee Gyoung," and that he was fascinated by all the characters in this omniverse genre.

Shin Min Ah will portray Min Seon-a, a character who is also very different from her role in HOMETOWN CHA-CHA-CHA. For the first time in her career, Shin Min Ah will play a mother who is forced to leave her child and move to Jeju Island.

The actress stated that she immediately felt drawn to the life of her character, even though she was still unfamiliar with her own role. "I can understand the pain felt by Min Seon-a, and my heart also aches. I am interested in playing this character and want to challenge myself."

3. The Return of Kim Woo Bin - Meanwhile, this series marks Kim Woo Bin's return to Korean drama after six years. The actor will portray Park Jeong-jun, a romantic man with a busy life - from ferrying divers to their workplace to selling fish at the market and auction house.

Kim Woo Bin stated, "To delve into this character, I stayed on Jeju Island for some time. There, I met a ship captain, followed the divers to their workplace, and even learned how to cut fish at the market."

4. Stories that are Close to Many People's Lives - OUR BLUES presents various stories about ordinary people and has a strong relatability factor. Lee Byung Hun said, "The story takes place in a specific location in Jeju, but the emotions involved, such as sadness and hope, are what everyone experiences."

Shin Min Ah added, "I want the hopeful message of this series to be received by many people." Meanwhile, Han Ji Min said, "Writer Noh always creates characters that we commonly encounter in our daily lives, but she can make them feel special. Their conversations can be touching and leave a lasting impression on viewers."

5. Unique Location Choices - Jeju Island is known as one of the popular tourist destinations in Korea. In OUR BLUES, this island becomes the shooting location and background for various stories, which adds to its allure.

Director Kim Kyu-tae remembers that shooting experience on the island was both enjoyable and challenging due to the unpredictable weather. "The wind in Jeju can sometimes be very strong and cold, affecting the actors' hairstyles, but at the same time, it also adds a different atmosphere to this series," he said.

Actress Shin Min Ah added, "Jeju is famous for its beautiful sea and mountains, but what I really like are the houses. All the houses there have stories and they look warm."
