Alone in Love (2006)

Eun-Ho (Son Ye Jin) and Dong-Jin (Gam Wu-seong) meet one day at the bookstore where she works immediately and that is recorded in all others. They fall in love after subsequent meetings, and eventually married.

Two years later divorced. Dong-Jin still works in the library, while Eun-Ho works in a gym. The pair continue to meet and figure life itself. The narration is marked by one or another character's internal monologue in his past, his current relationship, and how things are to move. As complications, new love interests have come into her life: Mi-Yeon (Oh Yoon-Ah) and Joong-Hyeon (Lee Jin-Wook). Even so, one year and a half after their divorce, the two still meet in their favorite bakery for breakfast, fighting in trivial things as a married couple, lunch and dinner at his wedding anniversary with a free meal coupon provided by the hotel where he married.

All this makes wonder if these feelings are persistent love, though both are too afraid to start over again, and even more afraid to end the relationship altogether. With neither brave enough to face each other on the misunderstanding in the day Eun-ho had a baby born dead, they are unable to move. (16 Episodes)
