Friends is a 4-episode South Korean-Japanese series drama aired on 2002. It was produced by TBS (Japan), and MBC (South Korea). This is the first time in a dorama history that two countries', South Korean and Japanese, staff combined together to co-produce the show in both South Korea and Japan.
The story of this dorama is about a Japanese girl, named Tomoko, and a South Korean boy, named Ji-Hoon, who both meet in Hong Kong. Ji-Hoon was in Hong Kong to shoot his amateur film - and met Tomoko. Despite their language barrier, they became good friends romantically. When they went back to their own countries, they tried to communicate by email, and tried to meet each other again.
