KBS nixes potential Kang Ji-hwan–Moon Geun-young drama Home Alone

Remember Home Alone, that new drama that was aiming to pair Kang Ji-hwan and Moon Geun-young as love interests that was announced all of two days ago? Well never mind, you can go ahead and forget it now, because that’s what KBS is doing—it has backpedaled and removed the drama from the schedule.

It’s a surprising move for its suddenness; everything about this project was handled so abruptly—one day it was here, and the next day it was gone. Home Alone had been talked about as a Monday-Tuesday drama for KBS, to follow Taming Mother-in-Law (which follows currently airing I Remember You). The plot was to center around a main character who loses his family, moves to the States, finds success there as a businessman, then moves back to Korea and falls for the woman caretaker for his house and dog.

I can’t say I was excited about any of that, but I was holding out hope because I like both actors (though can’t quite see them together) and was excited to see the Healer PD return with his next drama (even if it had to be with the My Secret Hotel writer). And even if the public reaction wasn’t too excited—it wasn’t vehemently opposed, but I read a lot of “What an odd pairing” and “Huh, I’m not sure about this” reactions—I didn’t expect the broadcaster to pull the plug so suddenly.

According to a source with the KBS drama department, it was decided in a July 22 meeting not to proceed with Home Alone, and they’re back to the drawing board to find a new drama to take that timeslot. That means Kang Ji-hwan and Moon Geun-young are still on the hunt to find their drama comebacks.

I wasn't really excited about the drama in the first place so I'm indifferent about this news. But I do want to see each of them in a drama soon, in a better drama.

I am wondering if they did it to make room for the Shin Min Ah/So Ji Sub drama which has more pre-show buzz

It's KBS's new drama "Oh My God"...I'm hoping this drama will bring KBS out of its rating slump lately.

I am glad that neither actor was waylaid by such a specious project. Here's hoping for better options in the future! Do actors ever write their own dramas?

I felt he same way about the pairing too. I'd love to see MGY back in a drama but I'll begrudgingly take her movies if the they are better products than her drama. Can't wait for Sado

I was shocked to see this news in the morning, And it was a Happily Shocked!! Thanks GOD because this drama is cancelled!! I don't know exactly what the real reason behind this cancelling but it has to do with audience reaction for the writer and the plot of this drama. I don't talk about the paring yet, but the plot is T__T and too boring. Even the director is so good, but does he write the script?? can he be able to fix such the suck writing then???Iam not so sure! Different from some of MGY's Fans. Oh Pls come back...no I want to see her again in this drama. As a Fan of her, I do want to see her back on screen so bad, but I also don't want her to risk her career with this kind of drama. Not worth it! MGY is a very talented actress, Iam still waiting to see her come back in a great drama with interesting plot. ( like become a poor mom in a revenge theme? lol) Again so happy with this news, thanks :) !

Well, I guess some people will consider this a good thing, because there won't be an OTP with a 38 year old man and a 28 year old woman, because he's too old for her because at one time he was 28 years old and she was 18 years old at one moment in time....

Kinda weird that they're nixing it all together so suddenly. Not push back or shop it around some more, but completely cancel it after just a few days of throwing big names out there. I wonder what happened.

I'd like to think this was cancelled because an anonymous source (who's handwriting was eerily similar to Rain's) sent them a DVD of She's So Boring.

Can't really said I was excited by the drama nor the potential pairing so I'm quite indifferent here. But I hope to see miss Moon in something good asap.

Honestly, I wasn't that excited about this drama ..
I have nothing against the actors but their last choices have been flops - for me -, so they kind of became my least fav ones ..
I was excited for the PD though ..
well .. we'll have to wait and see if this drama will be picked up by another channel or not :/

WHAAAÄT

But isn't the drama and its writing and casting handled by a production company? Don't they just need to look for another network to air it? I don't know how this works exactly, but I just want this pairing+PD to happen!

for me its a blessing that the drama is cancelled. I think KJH supporters miss him terribly and would like him back to kdramaland soonest as its been a year after Big Man. However, we rather wait than see him in a drama that will flop... Right now he is busy shooting in China and if the drama is set in October, scheduling maybe difficult for him.. still hoping for some good news and better drama after his China movie..
