What is Extraordinary You about?

A high-school student with a heart condition keeps losing minutes she cannot account for, then works out why: she is a background character in a serialised comic, and the plot resumes without her whenever the author is not looking. Determined to author her own life instead, she goes searching for a nameless extra who also seems to be awake — and falls for him in the gaps between the panels her creator drew.

Critics consensus: One of the smartest meta-romances Korean television has attempted — the comic-book conceit is used for genuine feeling rather than novelty, and Kim Hye-yoon’s furious, funny heroine makes the fight for free will land. The cast is led by Kim Hye-yoon, Rowoon, Lee Jae-wook, Lee Na-eun, Jung Gun-joo, among others.
