Friend, Our Legend (Korean: 친구, 우리들의 전설; RR: Chingu, Urideurui Jeonseol) is a 2009 South Korean television series starring Hyun Bin, Kim Min-jun, Seo Do-young, Lee Si-eon and Wang Ji-hye. It aired on MBC from June 27 to August 30, 2009 on Saturdays and Sundays at 22:40 (KST) for 20 episodes.[1][2]
It is a remake / TV adaptation of Kwak Kyung-taek's own 2001 box-office hit film Friend. Partnering up with another director and two scriptwriters, Kwak returned to the classic tale of male bonding, adding "more meat", in his words, to the original plot by writing a new character and more in-depth exploration of certain characters' lives, including their romances.[3] Like the original film, the series was shot entirely in Busan. To maintain quality, it was 100% pre-produced before airing, a rarity among Korean dramas.[4]
