Doona!

October 20, 2023

Lee Won-jun (Yang Se-jong) moves into a shared house in Mapo. His new neighbour is Doona (Bae Suzy) — who he does not immediately recognise as the most famous K-pop idol in Korea, because she looks entirely different from her stage persona.

Won-jun discovers who Doona is. Her fame and his ordinariness create a dynamic neither of them has experienced before.

Doona is learning to live without an audience. The Mapo neighbourhood streets — unglamorous, functional — become the setting for her education in ordinary life.

A visit to the Hongdae live music area — the world Doona came from, now completely transformed. She moves through it without being recognised, which is both liberating and disorienting.

A scene in the shared house itself — the drama's most intimate episode, two people in a small space being honest with each other for the first time.

The K-pop industry attempts to reclaim Doona. Won-jun watches from the periphery of a world he has no standing in.

The finale. Named one of TIME's best K-dramas of 2023. A quiet drama about what it means to choose ordinary life — and whether ordinary life can be enough when you have been extraordinary.
