The Story

A high school Korean Literature teacher spends her Saturdays getting away from her mundane life by travelling on day trips. Each weekend is a new destination with new adventures and new sights and people. And as she walks, eats, and talks to new friends along the way, she finds the comfort to fill the empty holes in her day to day life.

My Personal Thoughts and Ratings

‘One Day Off’ is a short, quirky travel drama. This gem is quick and sweet. Each episode is a separate vignette with new characters and locations. While there are a couple repeat appearances, there really aren’t any side stories. It is the story of one woman’s journey to find healing through simple day trips to nearby destinations.

This drama is not complex or heavy into character development. With only 8 episodes at under 25 minutes each, there isn’t much time for depth. It was difficult to even fit this one into a genre, since it really is just a life drama about simple weekend day trips. But there is a beauty to the sutle life lessons this series has to offer and I found myself encouraged and challenged by the lead’s journey to healing. I give ‘One Day Off’ a 9 out of 10 ramen.
