One Ordinary Day 2 – Is It Happening?
One Ordinary Day has recently finished, closing the main plotline yet, many viewers’ expecting its season 2. One of the major reasons for having season two expectations is the open end! The director has given open ending for both characters, Kim Hyun Soo and Shin Joong Han. Also, the actress Kim Yoo Jung’s cameo at the climax of Episode 8 has increased fans’ hope for season 2!
Shin Joong Han and looked-up girl (Kim Yoo Jung)
The drama concludes by showing Shin Joong Han clearing Kim Hyun Soo’s name. Both move on with their lives, and Shin Joong Han takes over his next case. He meets his next client in the police station, where he sees a girl coated with blood behind the bar, just like Kim Hyun Soo was during their first meeting. That girl is none other than the actress Kim Yoo Jung. Therefore, viewers are excited about the possibility of season 2! If we follow the ending, there is a potential for the next season. Numerous questions have been left unanswered, such as the details about Hong Guk Hwa’s killing part, Kim Hyun Joo’s ending, and Kim Yoo Jung’s cameo. At the climax, Shin Joong Han asks the looked-up girl (Kim Yoo Jung) whether or not she has hired a lawyer. Thus, the writer can create the next season featuring a new crime thriller tale about the looked-up girl’s story!
Since the kdrama is a remake of Criminal Justice (BBC’s TV Series), a sequel of season 1 seems a little complicated. But the production team can focus on a new criminal case in the next season. Hence, after analyzing season 1 closing, it seems there is enough room for One Ordinary Day season 2!
One Ordinary Day Season 2 Release Date & Renewal Status
With 8 episodes, One Ordinary Day drama has concluded on 19 December. Even with the fans’ excitement about the possibility of the next season, director Lee Myung Woo and screenwriter Kwon Soon Gyu have not given any official statement regarding this matter. Although there is a scope for One Ordinary Day season 2, it is up to the director and writer to make it or not. Furthermore, the popularity of season 1 will play a crucial role in this decision. Since the director and writer have not commented on the second season’s renewal or cancellation status yet, let’s be positive. Hence, fans should wait until the production house updates season two information.
