Thanks to you and Lucy for the info! I saw the posts in time for us to catch the first episode and it looks like it'll be a cute and funny series. It was a little disconcerting that it started exactly at 8:00 and ran with no commercials!

Sheesh, I'm supposed to mod this. I thought it starts this Thursday, the 14th. Did I already miss the first episode?

If the 1st episode already showed, would anyone like to summarize what happened (before this Thurs. 8pm if possible) to catch us up? Thanks in advance!


ETA: I found this www.hancinema.net/korean_drama_Alone_in_Love.php
where it seems we can watch it one episode at a time. No time now to see if it works, though.

ETA2: thread title. 1/14 was episode 2

Is anyone else watching this?

From what I gathered from the 2nd episode, this is about a young-ish couple who have gotten divorced. She calls him when she has an emergency, and he comes to help. When he looks at her, he seems to care a lot, despite their being divorced. Except that he set her up on a date and didn't tell her it was a set-up. She was annoyed and thought she would teach him a lesson by setting him up with (someone he wouldn't like?), such as the big and powerful lady wrestler who's sort of a friend.

She teaches in a gym, as a fitness trainer. He's the manager (or owner?) of a bookstore. A younger guy (the set-up) has a crush on her, but she isn't flattered. She thinks the way he's there every time she turns around is creepy. Then it turned out that there was a different guy who really was stalking her, and he stole her underwear one night. The younger guy tackled him and got cut on a broken vase. The stalker was arrested, so that's good, but the younger guy exaggerated the struggle, claiming the stalker had a big knife. Now all the young women at the gym are impressed. Why didn't our heroine set them straight, I wonder? Sure, she should be grateful, but why wasn't he embarrassed to exaggerate in front of her?

Wow! THAT sounds complicated. I hope it's a good show.

Episode 3:
Ex-husband thinks his ex spent the night with crush-guy, but he misinterpreted it. She was too tired to make him understand that they'd been at the hospital.
Big match coming up for the lady wrestler, posters everywhere. The lady wrestler put the ex-husband in a head lock (at his bookstore) until he promised to buy a bunch of tickets! A young woman clerk hit the wrestler in the head with something to make her let go. (She has a crush on the ex-h.)

After the match, they all went out to a bar. Crush-guy said he wants to date and marry the heroine. The ex-husband's friends think he has secrets so they followed him, but they lost him. It turns out that he lives in a large house with a wall around the large property. Seems rich. The 2 friends want the couple to get back together, it seems. They keep sparring with each other and criticizing each other.

We find out in a flash-back that one night the guy had a problem and was beat up or freaked out (too dark to tell or I wasn't paying attention) and he was bruised and sleeping on a park bench all night. When he woke up, there was the heroine, a stranger to him, doing deep breathing and being happy. It was her wedding day, but she didn't mention that, just told him about a breathing exercise, putting his hand on his heart as part of it, and smiled at him. Later that day he went to work (which he hates) and sees her as the bride.

Ex-wife's friend decided to help her and retaliate against ex-h for the set-up and went to his bookstore to flirt, acting like his girlfriend and baffling him (but he did keep staring at her chest). Girl-clerk didn't like it.

g-cat,

They start the series with the divorced couple eating at a really nice restaurant even tho they can't stand each other. It turns out that the restaurant gives out "Anniversary" coupons so that married couples will come back each year. The two of them bicker the whole meal, but agree the steak is too good to pass up.

I'm liking this one more with each episode. I wish it was on twice a week, but I can't be choosy.

They definitely still have a connection, and I don't think it's all bad, either.

I can't really tell from the posting here, but is this a good series? Worth getting, say, if it goes on sale at yesasia (which it has not, it's $40 now).
