Alone In Love (SBS, 2006) with Son Yeh Jin

Anyone watching this? So far very good. As long as you forget it's a Kdrama and try to slough off the teenagerism, it's easy to warm up to this show about two divorcees played by Son Yeh Jin and Gam Woo Seong, a guide at a fitness center and a manager at a bookstore, respectively, meddling in each other's lives with some humorous effects. This is more a drama for 30 yos, but it's good regardless if you're looking for a good series.

Alone In Love is definitely not model-on-the-catwalk, eyecandy type of drama, even though I think Son Yeh Jin is cute. The sooner I understood this, the quicker I was able to get into the show. It's more about dialogue and acting. SYJ's character does some self narration in it, the music is nice too.

Alone In Love has been advertised as a serious melodrama or at least that was the impression I had of it from some promo posters, but it's actually funny and light hearted. I get a friendly pajammas-and-socks sort of feel from it, even though the main characters are divorcees, working people, dating people, singles, and parents, as well as best friends or sisters.

This drama has potential to be very nice, but I don't want to speak too soon. Also, I really like Gam Woo Seong and that bestfriend of his in the show (Gong Hyeong Jin). Very good actors.

son yeh jin is actually drop dead gorgeous - she had to portray an older, mature look in this series. yet, she still looks good even with the older lookr. but nevermind the appearances, what's more important is her acting, which is excellent.

this series focuses less on testosterone/estrogen-driven romance like the other series, but more on character development and their internal conflicts. if you are looking for something other than starry-eyed teenage romance series, this is a good place to start. hopefully the series will end as good as it begins.

yeah, they're doing the subs now... but they've got their hands full since they are subbing more than 5 dramas, so we have to wait a bit longer...

I love this show. After 4 episodes, it's a first class drama and I can't praise it enough. At this point, I can't even imagine it sucking in any real way.

I'm liking all the characters (except for maybe Lee Jin Wook's character - the young guy interested in Son Yeh Jin). I really like Oh Yuna's character. Her daughter is so adorable..

what i like about this drama so far is the emphasis on thought rather than speech. some of the funnier/more memorable scenes happen when the characters were NOT talking.

I started watchin this one cuz i really like the main actress in it. I got hooked immediately cuz this was diff from those other dramas where it has that hot lookin guy with a cute lookin girl with a whole teenage attractin stuff in it. THAT is gettin borin and annoyin. But this drama is so much more different. The thematic material is not suited for a simple teenage girl/guy. Most of my friends found it boring after two episodes probably due to the lack of a "hot guy" in it. This drama also has comedy but maybe a bit more subtle and dark in a way.
