Alone in Love (Hangul: 연애시대; RR: Yeon-ae Sidae; lit. "Love Generation") is a 2006 South Korea television series, starring Kam Woo-sung, Son Ye-jin, Gong Hyung-jin and Lee Ha-na. It aired on SBS from April 3 to May 23, 2006 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.
It is based on the Japanese novel Love Generation (Japanese: 恋愛時代 Hepburn: Renai Jidai?) by Hisashi Nozawa, which was published in 1996 and won the 4th Shimase Literary Prize for Romance in 1997. The Korean adaptation was written by Park Yeon-seon (screenwriter for My Tutor Friend and Too Beautiful to Lie). This was the first TV series directed by film director Han Ji-seung (who won a Grand Bell award in 2001 for A Day). It tells the story of two ordinary people, as they come to terms with their relationship.
Though the ratings were mediocre, the series won acclaim for its subtle and realistic portrayal of love, marriage and divorce.
Eun-ho (Son Ye-jin) and Dong-jin (Kam Woo-sung) meet one day at the bookstore where he works and they are immediately drawn to each other. They fall in love after subsequent meetings, and are eventually married. Two years later they are divorced.
