Someday is a 2006 South Korean television series starring Bae Doona, Kim Min-jun, Lee Jin-wook, and Oh Yoon-ah. It aired on cable network OCN at 22:00 every Saturdays and Sundays, starting November 11, 2006, but on November 24, 2006, switched to 23:00 every Friday night. The series has 16 episodes.
The series revolves around 4 characters: Hana a successful manga artist, who leaves Japan to go back to Korea; Go Jin Pyo, a doctor, and great admirer of Hana's books; Hye Young, a friend of his, who works in animation; and Lim Seok Man, a troubled personality.
The series was filmed on location in Nagoya (Japan).[2] It is also "the first Korean drama to integrate animation and live action."[3] [4]
A review of the series stated, "Someday isn’t as groundbreaking or original as it initially purports itself to be, but despite all the frustrating aspects I listed, there is still a lot to like here, thanks in large part to the performances of the main cast, an interesting work environment that isn’t explored half as much as it should be, and a masterful finale. Personally, I could’ve done without all the soul-crushing personal tragedy and been happy with a breezy look at the world of manga and anime artists, albeit with a touch of personal discovery and romance ".[5] while DVD Talk found, "For what it is, Someday is a solid drama that has a strong lineup of characters. The four have a good chemistry together and turn a somewhat somber love story into an invigorating and enjoyable viewing experience."[6]
In 2007 the distribution rights were sold for broadcast in Japan.
