When it comes to recent masterpieces in Taiwanese drama, Someday or One Day is undoubtedly one of the brightest.
Its intricately crafted mystery, time-twisting romance, and deep emotional pull made it one of the most beloved Chinese-language love stories in years.
Tense, tender, and unforgettable.
So good.
But—
What’s next?
How long do we have to wait for something like that again?
Don’t worry — Korea’s version of Someday or One Day is here.
Just like the original, it blends time travel, mystery, and romance, with one goal:
To go back in time…
just to see the one you miss.
Could this be the next sleeper hit?
Let’s take a look —
Blue Birthday
버스데이
The story begins in high school.
The female lead, Oh Ha-rin, is a second-year student at Seoyeon High.
On her 18th birthday, she plans to confess her feelings to her best friend of ten years — Ji Seo-jun.
But what she never expected…
is for the day of joy to turn into tragedy.
Ji Seo-jun dies by suicide — at the exact spot where they had planned to meet.
Her birthday becomes the death anniversary of her first love.
What could be more heartbreaking?
Ten years fly by.
Work, home, occasional get-togethers with friends —
On the surface, Ha-rin’s life looks just like anyone else’s.
But deep down, she still mourns Seo-jun every single day.
On her birthday, she walks past a photo studio — and unexpectedly comes across Seo-jun’s old camera, which had been left there for years.
The camera is broken.
All that remains are 9 photos and a letter.
As she flips through the photos,
she realizes — she’s in every single one.
And when she reads the letter, she finally learns:
Seo-jun loved her too.
