Goodbye Solo ( Korean: 굿바이 솔로; RR: Gutbai Sollo) is a 2006 South Korean television series starring Chun Jung-myung, Yoon So-yi, Kim Min-hee, Bae Jong-ok, Lee Jae-ryong, Kim Nam-gil, and Na Moon-hee. It aired on KBS2 from March 1 to April 20, 2006 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.
In the urban melodrama, seven lead characters of different generations and backgrounds are all haunted by loneliness; they gradually interact and form a "family" borne out of emotional connection and mutual understanding. [1] [2]
Renowned for her in-depth, realistic portrayals of ordinary lives, writer Noh Hee-kyung said that the drama's theme is that all human beings are beautiful just the way they are, simply by existing in the world. [3]
Kim Min-ho ( Chun Jung-myung) is the son of a rich business tycoon, but works as a bartender. Because he is illegitimate, he feels estranged from his family, and has a strained relationship with his father ( Jang Yong), his older brother Min-jae (Kim Hyun-kyun), and especially his mother ( Jung Ae-ri). Min-ho has been secretly in love for a long time with Chung Soo-hee ( Yoon So-yi), an artist who is also the girlfriend of his best friend, Yoo Ji-an ( Kim Nam-gil). Soo-hee despises her mother for her constantly changing partners, and thus is determined to be faithful to Ji-an, despite her growing attraction to Min-ho. Ji-an works as a secretary for Min-ho's father and his lies hide painful family secrets. Cheerful, seemingly frivolous Choi Mi-ri ( Kim Min-hee) is a restaurant owner who is living with third-rate gangster Kang Ho-chul ( Lee Jae-ryong). Despite their love for each other, Mi-ri agonizes over Ho-chul's refusal to marry her and her family's disapproval. Oh Young-sook ( Bae Jong-ok), who calls herself "crazy," is a flamboyant and eccentric divorcee who recently moved next door to Mi-ri and Ho-chul's apartment. All these people are linked together by an old woman named Mi-young ( Na Moon-hee), the mysterious owner of an eatery in the neighborhood, who hasn't spoken a single word in decades.
