Kim Sae-ron’s Final Drama, “Everyday We Are” Gains Attention After Her Tragic Passing
About Kim Sae-ron’s Final Drama “Everyday We Are”
According to Xports News, Kim Sae-ron final drama project “Everyday We Are” (tentative title) was previously canceled but is now preparing for broadcast. Some reports claimed that Kim had left the project due to her DUI incident, but Xports News confirmed that this was not true. Kim Sae-ron had completed filming, and the drama has now finished its post-production process.
“Everyday We Are” is a seven-episode coming-of-age drama based on a KakaoPage webtoon, portraying the thrill of first love and deep friendships during school days.
Kim Sae-ron played Han Yeo-ul, a basketball-loving high school girl, starring alongside Lee Chae-min. The drama follows her emotional struggles as she navigates feelings for her childhood friend Oh Ho-soo (Lee Chae-min), who secretly loves her, and her crush, senior Kwon Ho-jae (Ryu Ui-hyun). Her friendship with Kim Joo-yeon (Yoo-ju), who misinterprets Oh Ho-soo’s feelings, adds further depth.
Interview With Director of “Everyday We Are”
In a phone interview with “The Daily Sports” on February 19, Director Kim Min-jae, who worked on the late Kim Sae-ron’s final film, expressed his sorrow, saying, “I can only feel deep regret. I met Sae-ron separately eight months ago. It was our first meeting in two years, and she was struggling a lot. She cried a lot, and I told her to stay strong.”
He recalled, “To be honest, just before the release of ‘Everyday We Are,‘ her DUI incident occurred. Sae-ron felt extremely guilty. We both went through difficult times, and when we finally met again after a long while, it was a moment to collect our emotions.” He continued, “I keep regretting why I couldn’t hold onto her, why I couldn’t be there for her as an adult. I feel like I lacked something.”
Director Kim Min-jae praised Kim’s talent, stating, “Kim Sae-ron was a natural-born actress. Not only was she passionate about acting, but she also had a deep understanding of her character and an exceptional ability to translate direction into performance. She would have undoubtedly risen to global stardom – it’s truly heartbreaking.”
Regarding his decision to release the project later this year, he explained, “This is the only thing I can do for Sae-ron right now. She looked so beautiful and lovely in the film. I just hope people will see her in a good light.”
Now, after the unfortunate incident involving Kim Sae-ron, anticipation grows over whether “Everyday We Are,” her final drama work, will be released as a tribute to her legacy.
