A repeat of ALONE IN LOVE will begin at 10pm tomorrow, along with Someday. Last time they were shown, the times were 8 and 9pm, and it ran over 5 minutes or so. Ten o'clock is time to feed the cat and go to bed, so I won't be watching Alone in Love this time.

If you missed it, there was a reason the couple broke up, but it was only revealed little by little over a looong time.
One thing I like was the woman's father, played by (oh, darn, can't remember his name, one of the Warriors) but on this show his character wasn't special; it was just fun to see him again. (Chung Hoon?)

I am so confused, I watched Happiness in the wind, and missed most of the last episode, any help for me to find out what really happened? Thanks Dove436

The father is played by Kim Gab Soo-he was the Advisor in Wang Guhn, too.

Thanks Dove436 I just checked OTHER SHOWS and Happiness in the Wind has a thread on page 2 of that forum. Good luck - I've had that happen to me and it is so aggravating to have watched so much and then miss the last episodes - hope you find a summary there.

This series is running on Arirang right now--they apparently split the episodes into half-hour chunks. Been watching bits of it. The story isn't substantial enough to really keep me interested, but the actress who plays the woman dating the ex-husband, it's been driving me nuts because I swear she reminded me of somebody. Finally realized, it's Lady Yunheung from Iron Empress. She did some very good work in that series (until the writers turned her character into Psycho-mom and made her ridiculously one-dimensional).
And the dad guy, Kim Gab Soo, he was also minister Hwang in the Sejong series.

Is this the one? wiki.d-addicts.com/Moon_Jung_HeeMoon Jung Hee as Empress Moon Hwa / Lady Kim (Seong Jong's 2nd wife) wiki.d-addicts.com/Empress_Chun_ChuThere's a synopsis here, but I think they goofed in the way they described the ending.

Yeah, that's her. Bad as I am with faces, it actually was her voice and her speaking style that finally clicked in my head.

Well this is just getting surreal. The series is running one hour weekly on MhZ and at the same time is in 25-minute daily chunks on Arirang. Last night I watched one chunk on Arirang and then saw the same chunk in the MhZ episode. A bitter irony--all we have left on Chicago broadcast TV is one Arirang show and two MhZ shows, and now they're duplicating. UGH!
What really surprised me is that the subtitles are different. And MhZ's are noticeably better than Arirang's. When I saw the chunk the second time on MhZ I was surprised at how much more sense the dialogue made. Would have thought the subs came with the rights to the series, but apparently not.

Yes - I noticed that when I was watching Dong Yi on mysoju - then there were too many broken links  so I started watching it on Dramafever. Oh boy - what difference in the subs - so I guess it depends upon who is doing the translations - I gave up trying t to watch anything on Chicago TV re: Korean dramas - Now I just watch them on my computer and get these good K-dramas free - such is life  - Enjoy what you can watch - while it is still being broadcast.

Now I recognize this series - it ran on MhZ a year or so ago. I only caught the last few episodes then. Several people here watched it then and had very nice things to say about it. Darn it, I wanted to see the whole thing and this would have been the chance.
The episodes I've seen are beautifully produced and directed. It's weird because the main characters, as a group I don't feel all that sympathetic to them (except for Eun-ho for losing her baby). Dong-Jin especially, the guy reminds me of Rod Blagojevich! Partially the haircut, but also he's just so self-oriented. But the whole thing is so well-crafted that you don't even mind. (To be fair, maybe you need to see the whole series to feel better about the characters.) There's not a lot of dialogue in it; something about how it conveys a lot of emotion non-verbally, it's very compelling stuff.
And the episode tonight...When Dong-Jin proposes and Yoo-Kyung accepts, and you know he's doing it for the wrong reasons, and you get the feeling she's accepting for the wrong reasons too...the song playing in the restaurant was "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"! What a GREAT inside joke. Somebody was very, very sharp to know an American jazz standard like that and slip it into the scene. Haven't laughed that hard in months.
Anyway, it's a shame that this re-airing didn't get a lot of attention here. I'll keep an eye out for it and if it runs again we'll have to get more people to watch it.

Arirang aired the last segment of the last episode of this drama on Friday. (Was not easy to watch; the subtitles weren't all that coherent and were tough to follow.) They've replaced it with a 2006 MBC drama called "Dr. Gang." Same sort of format; 16 original episodes and Arirang will be chopping them up to fit into 25-minute segments.
Don't know if anybody is even watching Arirang any more, but that's the latest. "Alone In Love" still has two more episodes left on MhZ.

There's a "Daily Drama" listed at 8:30pm tonight. The subtitles are in Spanish and English, but they aren't as clear as I remember on other shows. I'm watching now. A young man's mother was a mother, somewhat silly, IIRC, on an earlier drama. This one has gangsters.... and yelling. Not fun.
