 Synopsis |
|
Unpredictable, sidesplitting character show
'The Special of My Life' is a drama which has creative ideas, active characters,
and a fresh, new provocative style. It does not sacrifice its characters for the
good of the story but instead tries to focus on the characters themselves and
have the spotlight shine on them and not the drama. Just thinking of the drama
will make you laugh, and you'll feel connected to the characters in the drama
as though they were your good friends that you'd think of in times of need.
The hilarious life of three men that you won’t be able to watch without laughing
your head off
A funny and touching story of three friends from high school. Park Kang-ho is
a police officer in the violence and crimes department, Baek Dong-goo a scamp
full of morality, and Jung Hyung-suk a low-class lawyer. All three fight to
live up to their impure dreams while confronting head-on with the absurdities
of society.
A provocative new kind of drama
A new style of drama with a provocative and speedy development, a narrated document
technique, daring use of animation, powerful talking lines, and many other creative
techniques never before used in a drama.
A warm and cheerful comfort to the stragglers of our society
Our society is overly single-minded, but if you remove just one layer from it
the humor in it becomes apparent, so you shouldn't get upset and discouraged
for failing or cry for falling behind. This drama gives people who have lost
hold of their dreams a chance to laugh with, hug, and share true feelings with
those around them. As well, it aims to remind people that life is always worth
living.

Park Kang-ho: Kim
Seung-woo
Park Kang-ho: Kim Seung-woo
"He has a good
reason for his wrath."
Two years ago on a spring day something happens that
changes his life: his wife dies in a subway fire. He attends a protest with
other family-members of the deceased asking for a thorough investigation into
the accident and a guarantee that it will never happen again, but all they
received was a cold reception.
He just needs a billion to leave the country!
He'll do anything to get the money; there is nothing in the world that will stop
him from earning the money.
Kang-ho found out that the bad people were
neither the pickpockets he was catching nor the thieves, but the society itself,
which doesn't even take responsibility for its own people. The real bad people
are those people wearing golden pins as signs of their power; the same ones who
lie to avoid their responsibilities and pass them on to others; those who just
let matters sit at their desks instead of making new plans. Also, no matter how
hard he tries to catch pickpockets, thieves, and gangs everything stays the
same. At his wife's funeral he shed bitter tears and decided to leave the
country. But the only way he can leave the country is through
investment-business immigration but in order to do that he needs a billion won!
But do misfortunes really never come singly? He leaves for Canada only to find
that everything was a fraud and loses his whole life's savings.
A billion to
leave the country! He’ll do anything to get the money; there is nothing in the
world that will stop him from earning the money.
And so he happens to meet
two of his high school friends, Dong-goo and Hyung-suk. The three of them dive
into their impure dreams and without willing it to happen justice keeps saving
them. Now, Park Kang-ho, will he be able to find a reason to live in Korea?

Baek Dong-goo: Seung Jea-loo
Lives for justice and dies for justice. "I'm going to
protect Myung-ae."
The only scamp in Korea with some morality but a definite
weak point is that he doesn't have any sense, is very stubborn and doesn't have
any idea of what is going on.
In addition to the fact that his ignorance can
not be measured, is the even bigger problem that he does not know that he is
ignorant. Two years ago because of a mistake he made, he and his boss were
forced to hide away from the police. They eventually were caught by Kang-ho and
ended up getting sentenced to jail for 2 years. At the time police cars were
behind him, blocking him from getting away while Kang-ho was blocking him from
the front. He tells Baek-goem (his boss) to take the wheel and also tells him to
run away and gets out of the car to fight Kang-ho but Baek-goem sticks his head
out the window and yells "I can't go without you!" He gets out of the car to
save Dong-goo from Kang-ho but they both end up getting caught and put in jail;
but this is all Dong-goo's misunderstanding. What really happened is that
Dong-goo had forgotten to leave the keys in the car so Baek-goem couldn't start
the car. When he stuck his head out the window he really yelled, "Hey give me
the keys!" The reason he got out of the car was because he saw the keys dangling
from Dong-goo's belt and he was trying to get them when they got caught. A
wonderful misunderstanding between the boss and his right arm! Because of the
whole matter Dong-goo gets sentenced to jail for 2 years and Baek-goem for 5
years. 2 years later, Dong-goo finally gets discharged from prison, but all the
bars in what once was Dong-goo's area have been taken over by his left arm,
Pil-doo. "I'm not going to leave him alone." But his fury towards Pil-doo does
not last for long. Pil-doo did not take over the clubs and bars; it was
Baek-goem who had thrown Dong-goo away. He starts to take charge of another area
with his underlings who have waited for him for 2
years.

sense, who works as a lawyer in a job looked up upon by everyone; in short, a
perfect man. A lawyer at one of the biggest law firms in Korea, he takes care of

they were all too short. His first love, Shin-ae, from his high school years

with her husband. Hyung-suk and Shin-ae go out to the countryside for a date and
end up getting romantic and crossing lines they shouldn't have. Shin-ae's

adultery. Hyung-suk, who has become blinded by love, gives up almost all his
savings in order to settle the case and ends up getting fired. 'Losing my job
and all my money doesn't matter because I have Shin-ae.' But because she didn't

left penniless. He thinks of starting new and making a lot of money again as a
lawyer and opens a small law firm in a quiet little town in Kangbuk. But the

money or even get divorced. Eventually he becomes an ambulance-chaser; going
around hospitals looking for patients that he can represent. 'I need to make a
lot of money quickly so that Shin-ae and I can live comfortably and happily.' In
order to make money he joins Kang-ho and Dong-goo.
