![]() Like Dan Oh, he also has his ego and they work together to change their fate. He was first dubbed by Dan Oh as Number 13, since he’s the 13th in their class yearbook. Haru (Rowoon) though… where can I get my own Haru? He’s the definition of a soft boy! □ Haru is also an extra like Dan Oh, who didn’t have a name until Dan Oh called him Haru. Rowoon as Haru | Extraordinary You via MBC In the stage, Dan Oh really likes him so it was fun to see him be confused once they’re in the shadow because Dan Oh couldn’t care less about him. His character was intended to be rude and indifferent towards Dan Oh since their engagement is more of a business partnership between their fathers. I have to admit Baek Kyung was so hard to like. I couldn’t blame her though, I think if I was in her situation, I’d do anything to change my fate too! ![]() But upon gaining her ego, she finds a way to change her fate. Well-written CharactersĮun Dan Oh was totally easy to love! As a side character, she’s engaged to her classmate, Baek Kyung (Lee Jae Wook) and has a terminal heart illness. It was pretty much easy to understand because we get to see Eun Dan Oh (Kim Hye Yoon) go through with it. ![]() I like that the show explained these concepts really well. The comic book they’re in is titled “Secret“, which was totally fitting for the concept. Meanwhile, characters who doesn’t have their ego most often acts the same whether it’s in the stage or the shadow. So characters who have their ego don’t have a choice when it comes to the stage part, but they can pretty much do anything in the shadow. The “ stage” is where the events intended by the author take place, while “ shadow” is where characters have a free rein of their actions. I found the concepts of “ ego“, “ stage” and “ shadow” really interesting. Now that I’ve watched it, the hype is truly worth it! I knew Extraordinary You had gained a good buzz when it was on-air, but I was too busy to pay attention that time. I found this concept really fresh for K-dramas. I have only encountered characters gaining awareness that they’re inside a comic book from isekai webtoons, and well, Stranger Than Fiction sort of. It’s definitely a feast for the eyes! Interesting Concept I also love the visuals of this show, both in terms of the cinematography and the set. I rarely watch teen shows nowadays but this one was a great exception! Going into this show, I was only a little bit familiar with Rowoon, but I completely fell in love with his character as well as Kim Hye Yoon’s Eun Dan Oh! I think I was able to finish this within 2 days because I was so entranced by the premise! I was on a K-drama roll this month and Extraordinary You is one of the shows I couldn’t get enough of. “ When a high-school girl finds that she is merely a character from a comic book whose destiny is decided by the writer, she decides to change the plot to suit her desires and find the love of her life.” My Thoughts □ Main Cast: Kim Hye Yoon, Rowoon, Lee Jae Wook Extraordinary You (어쩌다 발견한 하루, Eojjoda Balgyeonhan Haru)
