I want to travel with Park Ha Young
One Day Off (2023)
"When longing to disappear, I take one day trips. I walk, I eat, and let my mind wander."

1. I absolutely loved the concept of taking one day trips and I love hearing LNY recite this line in every episode! It felt like she wasn't alone in her trips, that I was also with her enjoying every minute of her escape from reality. I wish I can do the same but I'm lazy and my country isn't that easy to go around if you just commute.
2. I think LNY was perfectly casted to play Park Ha Kyung.. her outfits, her hair, her soothing voice, her laidback attitude. I would love to have a cool friend like her.
3. I like every episode, they were different and each character she met and the circumstances were interesting. If i had to choose my top 3 episodes, i would say ep 3 when she had a meet cute with #KooKyoHwan during the BIFF, ep 7 when she followed a girl to look for bread in Jeju,and ep 5 when she met her favorite cartoonist #KilHaeYeon. The encounters may be random but she (and the viewers) get a little food for thought after them.
4. I also love the guest stars in every episode such as #ParkInHwan in ep 6 as the grandpa who was ranting about kids these days, #HanYeRi in ep 2 as the struggling artist who didn't let go of her dream, and #SeoHyunWoo in ep 1 as the novelist she met in a buddhist temple.
5. The last episode was a little melancholic and underwhelming, as we get to see her dead friend played by #ShimEunKyung and the reason why she took those one day trips. But i also think it was the perfect ending to a thoughtful show.
Dislikes
I cant think of a dislike, except that the episodes were not enough and I want a season 2! And maybe somehow she meets the cute guy from ep 3 again.
Overall this is a peaceful and relaxing watch. If I ever want to disappear, I think I will just rewatch this show again and feel better.
