It will be no exaggeration when I said that this drama is my favorite of all time. At least, for now, it tops all the ones that I was fortunate enough to watch. I have a pretty dry taste for entertainment in general, enjoying seeing everyday life happenings and character developments above all else. Yes, I love to submerge in the emotions conveyed in a particular take, to feel how a character feels and to lose myself completely when I watch something. Alone in Love delivers all of what I need in my entertainment and much much more. The drama is realistic, and very character-driven; and luckily, the characters in this drama are not only charming, but they are real, just like someone out there in the world. I see fragments of myself, of the people I know lurking somewhere in these characters. Watching this drama is like hearing and seeing problems from friends I've known for a long time. When the show ended, I literally felt withdrawn and empty, like I'd been forced to part with a very dear friend... there was this surge of sadness that was very hard to express in words.
Based on a Japanese novel called "Love Generation", Alone in Love indeed feels very Japanese. The pace is calm, serene and introspective. There is absolutely no over-the-top events or actions. Alone in Love makes the mundane of everyday life not only dream-like, but beautiful and filled with wonders.
(this entry is a work in progress, I'll update it when I feel like adding more...)
