The drama 'Our Blues,' starring Lee Byung-hun, garnered significant attention in Korea for its heartwarming portrayal of diverse characters' lives, loves, and struggles against the backdrop of Jeju Island. Presented in an omnibus format, the drama's deep narratives and emotional arcs left a lasting impression and provided comfort to viewers.
Airing on tvN from April 9 to June 12, 2022, 'Our Blues' comprised 20 episodes and featured a star-studded cast including Lee Byung-hun, Shin Min-a, Cha Seung-won, Lee Jung-eun, Han Ji-min, and Kim Woo-bin. Penned by writer Noh Hee-kyung and directed by Kim Kyu-tae, the series was simultaneously released in over 80 countries via Netflix, achieving widespread international popularity. The drama's inception was a new project set in Jeju, conceived after the original Lee Byung-hun-led drama 'HERE' was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
