Choi Seung-Hyo (Jung Hae-In) is the most noteworthy young architect in Korea and he runs the architecture atelier "In." Not only is he nearly perfect as an architect, but he is also very attractive and has a great personality. Yet, Choi Seung-Hyo has experienced moments that he wants to erase from his life. Those moments usually involve Bae Seok-Ryu (Jung So-Min). When they were 4 years old, their moms became friends. Because of their moms, Choi Seung-Hyo and Bae Seok-Ryu spent a lot of time together like bathing together at a women's bathhouse. Now, Choi Seung-Hyo meets Bae Seok-Ryu as an adult.

While growing up, Bae Seok-Ryu’s life was smooth sailing. During her school days, she never missed ranking first academically at her school. She was always passionate and energetic with things she did. After graduating from a university, she got hired by a large company. She worked hard as a project manager, but, for some reason, she quit her job. She has been unemployed since then. She meets Choi Seung-Hyo.

Matilda May 22 2026 1:34 pm This is one of my favourite kdramas and friends to lovers genre

Ddeonu Nov 05 2025 2:09 am Sorry I just watched this drama. You see, at that time I wasn't interested in watching it because Thinking it would be very boring when there are so many Who loves this drama. To be honest, I watched it because there was no more drama to watch. And my impression when watching it was a bit boring at first but over time it became exciting and romantic. Jung Somin's chemistry iThere is no need to doubt it. He is good at making his drama exciting and funny. For haein oppa he also played well and was funny. But in other dramas he is not as good as in this drama. Indeed, it depends on the co-player. Or it depends.

I like it. The acting of all the players here is very cool. A good, funny, sad and touching drama. Recommend 8.5/10

Taylor Jul 03 2025 5:26 am Honestly a great romcom but the plot was overused and pretty predictable and got stretched to fit into 16 episode. I'm sure this will be enjoyable as 12 episode.

Cheryl May 10 2025 8:18 am This drama is okay. It had some elements that I really liked and enjoyed and also there were parts that I found boring and there were points along the way that dragged. I almost gave it up but in the end, I powered through and have no regrets. I enjoyed the friend relationships between the parents the most and the second half of the series gets better. I am a fan of Jung So-Min and all the cast did a great job. It was my first time watching anything with Jung Hae-In and I don't think this drama showcases his talent. His story with his parents and his childhood is also an element that added some interest to the series but his character was a bit bland.

Amjaba Mar 17 2025 7:10 am This was a lovely kdrama. The ML - who is in one of my all time favourites something in the rain and FL - who also is another one of my top 10’s alchemy of souls, didn’t disappoint in this. They played their parts well. The second couple and the little girl were my favourite couple in the show. I wish we had more of their story. The group of 4 mums and the 2 dads added a great mix of people to complete this drama. I think that the ending was rushed but still ok. It’s a cute story of childhood friends and their relationships. Worth the watch. Just not overly impressive.

Kdrama Llama Feb 10 2025 2:15 pm As a relatively new Kdrama convert, this was the first series I watched weekly as it aired and while I liked it, I also I felt a bit unsatisfied... However, after recently rewatching selected highlights, I was utterly charmed. The lead and second lead couple were lovely, think my main issue was with the group of mums and the level of control and interference in their very grown up children’s lives. There was lots to love, I enjoyed the growth and journey of both leads, the neighbourhood they lived in, the OST and the bromance between the dads, so cute! The late act twist was also well done (no spoilers!) they usually make me grumpy!

Daeny Feb 04 2025 11:54 am I was so impressed, I rewatched it as soon as it finished. This is a series that heals the hearts of working people like me. I stopped to think and explore my own interests just like Seok-ryu did. I love the long friendship between Seung-hyo and Seok-ryu. They are half of each other's lives. I love this kind of relationship. They make me believe that their love will be eternal, that nothing can destroy it. The chemistry between the actors is also very good.

rizu Jan 23 2025 10:18 am good and refreshing drama to watch

rover Jan 01 2025 4:31 am FL's mom is unbearable. She's so annoying. She keeps on nudging FL to get a job, go back to her ex, and fly back to US for her to become successful. The mother never even bothered to ask FL's emotions and welfare. Additionally, she never considered how hardworking her daughter is and how that hardwork could make her successful on her own. FL's mother highlighted US and the guy as the only things that can make FL successful. This drama built a self-serving and close-minded mother.

I deem this continuous issue of the mother as highly unnecessary, I wish the writers have adjusted her role a bit and made her character development faster.

Andy Koembarra Dec 21 2024 3:24 am I really like the second actor, Jung Moeum,kang dan-o

karen Dec 16 2024 7:15 am overall, ok drama. could have been better. dunno what is missing like some said

edz Dec 15 2024 4:56 pm After a heavy or a bad, frustrating drama, this type of drama would be the best to watch. It's light (ofc there are sad parts) and fun, I really love kdramas that takes place in a neighborhood, childhood friends etc, it's really heartwarming. I also love the fact that SPOILER female lead's ex wasn't a bad person, it would be cliche if he cheated or mean. Also loved to see seo ji-hye even though it was some sort of a cameo role.

I don't think there are no plot holes or meaningless scenes, maybe except female lead's brother, his scenes added almost nothing to the plot, but I don't why that this drama didn't have a lot of impact on me. There was something missing but I still don't know after reading the comments lol no one apparently figured it out. Maybe it's because I'm used to seeing jung hae-in in more shy, reserved and maybe a bit sad roles. The reason can be also the dialogues or screenplay, because the plot is good but maybe these scenes could be better ? I think there were a couple of scenes were they had a heated discussion but it never reached to an impactful point.

Nevertheless, it's a good drama, not one of the best, I highly recommend it if you watched something overwhelming or disappointed before (like that weather forecast drama lol)

Final note, I speak French fluently and them speaking French was hilarious, I don't want to be mean but their pronunciations were soooo bad, it was impossible to understand. But again a French person or even someone outside of Korea (maybe far east region) would have a really difficult time saying something in Korean. It has a completely different vowel and intonation system that I get why Koreans have difficulty in pronunciation especially in phonetic languages and vice versa of course. It's traumatic to hear Hollywood actors saying something in Korean lol

Lan Nov 29 2024 12:07 pm I dont know if I like the drama or not.. but maybe that is what the writer really wants..

Jane Nov 27 2024 1:42 am Nice project! 1st episode I was hooked already. It has all the ingredients to make a feel-good & majority can resonates scene on family life, relationships, work with all its challenges. More shows with this fantastic casts. They all nailed it! Thank you! Congratulations!

Yewon Nov 22 2024 9:27 pm Ive been using asianwiki as long as i can remember and this is my first time writing a comment. If you’re looking through the comments, wondering if you should watch it or not, WATCH IT. I will say it starts off pretty slow. I initially started watching it like a background drama but slowly found myself completely and totally immersed. It’s the perfect slice of life drama and this drama touches on all the main aspects of living that makes it a masterpiece. It’s an extremely feel-good show that makes you reminisce on your childhood, family, friends, and other loved ones.

Chavo Nov 15 2024 9:32 pm A story with such great potential ruined by a terrible plot... Horrible...

Brooklynienne Nov 09 2024 12:44 pm This was sweet, but I think the 89 score is about right. Good, but not great. Fantastic actors, heartwarming, solid. There was something missing though. Maybe the chemistry between the leads was a tad lacking.

Liquette marie pierre Nov 09 2024 12:29 am ....Very fine...just like the acting ...soft and bright..doesn't need to overdo it ....

I feel its much underrated...

Eniola Nov 06 2024 12:50 pm i love the film fr like it very unique funny romantic lovely but i love the second lead i mean the supporting lead the most fr??

Liquette marie pierre Nov 03 2024 1:17 pm What a surprise ..i got a lesson..that even with very ..classical ingredients ..the maestria and top quality of the actors..takes it all...and i could watch them over and over..since the human insight..comes first... Thank You to All of them...

R o Nov 02 2024 10:44 am I love the second leads story more.

Clarey Nov 01 2024 10:13 pm I love this drama. I love the characters, the story and the portrayal of the actors in it. I love Jung So min and she did a great job. The storyline was realistic for me because I could relate to Bae Seok-Ryu's character. My family also expected me to do well in my studies and at work. There was also a point in my life where I had to reach inside myself to find my old dream. Even now I struggle but that is how it is in life. This drama made me cry and laugh. This is truly a wonderful, healing rom-com for me. Great piece of drama. Thumbs up and I recommend everyone to watch this wonderful series!!!

someone Oct 29 2024 12:23 pm While I love JHI and JSM so much and all their other dramas, i can’t handle the annoying characters esp. the FL’s mom. I never usually drop any dramas but I have to take a break on this one. The characters are too childish from the start that no matter how hard i try I can’t get hooked. I‘m so frustrated because I badly wanted to watch this.

Gnd Oct 23 2024 5:12 pm I have a love-frustration relationship with this drama.

I love the heart-felt moments and heartwarming storylines and the bonds and closeness the cast had. But I couldn't help be frustrated with some of the writing and directing and there were alot of filler scenes.

All in all, despite the shows flaws this drama still has my heart. I think if you haven't watched the drama and want to get into it be prepared that it's not a straight out rom-com. I'll probably equate to one of those kbs weekend family dramas but instead of 50 episodes its condensed into 16. Last but not least the cast, I love this cast. They all work well together and seem close. And can someone PLEASE put Jung Somin and Jung Haein in another project together, their chemistry is undeniable.

Soominol Oct 19 2024 11:32 am I loved and enjoyed every bit of this drama. After a very long time I enjoyed a romcom and not a single scene was cringe or overdo. The thing which i liked most was it had many stories to unfold layer by layer and focused not only leads but everyone around them and focused not only the romance part but also their own career growth which i found to be sensible. Their romance looked mature and both couples were too pretty onscreen. Last but not the least the story of each parent was nicely depicted.

bubba Oct 17 2024 3:37 am im in the 2nd ep. im annoyed by the mom. she's so not understanding. she makes things about herself. the FL was abroad for so long, and all she cared about was the fact that the FL is no long employed and engaged? she didn't even bother to ask the FL the reason first. she just went and hit the FL. she's making this drama so hard to watch. i hope her character gets better in the next eps.

Bea Oct 15 2024 8:53 am I really loved this series. I wasn't bored at all. I liked that clichés were avoided, for example the exes are lovable as someone worth dating in the past, although the main characters ended up choosing each other. Women did not sacrifice themselves on the altar of marriage. Although the story is too good to be true, none of the characters are perfect and none of them are unbearable. I liked that the first kiss or the wedding is not the climax of the story. In reality, the kiss is just the beginning and the wedding ceremony is just a beautiful moment.

nomnom Oct 14 2024 8:18 am overrated drama. jung moeum are the only one make me curious for the next development but the parents overwhelmed the entire drama, i'm so stressed out how childish they were. so so many plot holes but the writer choose to focus on boring plot

Christophe Oct 14 2024 3:29 am Linear scenario. Yet many possibilities to turn away from this boring line. It's a shame given the cast and the play of actors who are really good, if there is a new season I hope that the void will be filled.

MS Oct 13 2024 11:49 am Love the drama so much! And agree with both Bella and Gagetti.

The story flow is realistic and so much comforting story. Love the chemistry between both leads!

Bella Oct 12 2024 1:25 am This is one of the best and realistic kdrama i have ever watched till yet. Many people find it boring as compared to other dramas which literally have no story line, also in this drama there is no mention of any antagonist or criminal etc which exists in every drama making it a success. It's simply healing, and comforting with a lot of comedy, sweet and bitter romance with truthfullness of our lives. Moreover one should definitely watch this drama and try to understand what the makers actually want us to bring and view.

        In conclusion, the chemistry of the actors both behind and on the camera is adorable and realistic.

frommars Oct 11 2024 6:42 pm the only reason im watching til the end is because of Kim Ji-Eun, unparallel cuteness, she have that Ryujin blood

frommars Oct 11 2024 6:41 pm i kinda want to drop the drama at ep10 the guy is not there when she needed him the most. Unforgivable im saying this as a man !

Magda Oct 10 2024 12:40 pm I absolutely love KDramas, it’s just about all I watch. This was a very sweet, funny and romantic Drama. I thoroughly enjoyed it! As always great and beautiful actors! One thing that always bothers me about some Dramas is, how the parents, in this case the mother, tries to control her 34 year old adult daughter, telling her, No! She can’t marry him! That she has to go on a blind date and be married before the year is out! That’s just mind boggling to me with these mothers and sometimes fathers too! It’s ok for her to live abroad by herself, but not to marry who she loves and trusts! ? ? Also didn’t care to much for the ending, it’s as if, they ran out of time and crunched the ending in. But for the most part, it was lovely!!! Have a blessed day! From the USA.

Lee min ho fan Oct 10 2024 5:21 am I have watched dramas of jung so min before.

But whenever I see her romance with others, I am stil stuck in the character of oh ha ni .. Cannot see her with characters except beak seung Jo..

She played oh ha ni so well..

Whenever she cooks food so well or studies so well in other dramas I see why is oh ha ni cooking so well???

Watching dramas since 14 years , but never for a character like this before..

Not sure if I alone feel the same with jung so min

Jerry Oct 08 2024 8:45 pm This is actually one of disappointed and bland ending, At first this is interesting but it became average and empty especially in the last part, I thought this is fully good but it just gave me a reason to be disappointed, just wasted my time to watching it, I noticed some of dramas these days are unsatisfying, what a bad year of kdrama!

Blanca Trueba Oct 08 2024 3:31 am My favourite characters in this drama for me will always be Mo-eum, Yeon-du and Dan-ho. They have great chemistry both on-screen and off-screen. Check the BTS and their Instagram posts.

I wish there would be a second season (or a spin-off) on their characters' development thereafter -- Danho going to the South Pole, going back to Korea with Mo-eum, getting married and forming a new family with Yeon-du, with Mo-eum's mom supporting them.

Jieun, Jion and Jiyu -- the triple "Ji"s -- I will always be rooting for them.

Leany Oct 07 2024 8:33 pm Yea this drama is so called happy ending but honestly I still disappointed in the ending it's very rushed and need an addition, overall I didn't like the episode 16, I thought this drama would give me satisfaction but it didn't, I will never watch this drama again, this is one of unsatisfied ending that I've ever seen, too bad I can't recommend it to my friends.

Enlik Oct 07 2024 3:57 pm Many people liked the drama, and I did too. It was healing for me, and I can't believe it's already over. I was so looking forward to Saturday and Sunday, when in Korea it's 21:10, we have 18:20, and I was waiting for the Netflix release. I cried with him, laughed, understood my mistakes, my butterflies that died just recovered during their romance. And well done to those who created the JungJung couple for us. And I fell in love with them very much, and I can't imagine them with anyone else now.

Monday Oct 07 2024 2:59 pm Just finish watching episode 16. Happy with the happy ending.

This drama centers on the interactions among neighborhood families and friends. It reminds me of the k-drama Reply 1988. Quite enjoyable! Choi Seung-Hyo is too perfect as a character, almost too good to be true! No wonder Bae Seok-Ryu said she hits a jackpot. LOL!

niv Oct 07 2024 9:21 am I missed them already...hope to see JungJung couple on the next project, maybe on kmovie \(^^)/

tony Oct 07 2024 7:26 am who was the girl that played the role of geun-sik last customer? she's cute...

Jillibean Oct 06 2024 8:46 pm Very sweet drama, I enjoyed it thoroughly. It gave me nostalgic vibes for the older styles of family-themed Korean dramas we watched twenty or thirty years ago. Or at least I did: I'm an old broad. Lol. Nice production values, very clean and professional. Jung So Min and Jung Hae In always pick good dramas to star in.

Kdrama lover Oct 06 2024 8:20 pm First of all i want to say thank to the director And Writer...

 director Yoo je-won and writer  shin ha eun

For this wonderful and very heartwarming drama if i will rate love nextdoor i will give 10/10 very perfect i love the story very much, The cast are very Amazing deserve an award , But I'm still for season 2 the episode 16 titled The end and the beginning so I'm looking forward to the season 2 to begin their journey as a married couple, Love Next door deserve season 2 so please writer and director the fans are waiting ?

Nimi Oct 06 2024 8:35 am Thankfully the writer knows how to write good endings Can’t wait to finish watching this so the slot can be filled with a better drama

Vin Oct 06 2024 8:10 am Ottoke, this couple make me ‘baboo’ which I’m smile all the time for all of their scenes. Anyway, thanks director-nim, writer-nim and all actors!

AntraxViruesVaccine Oct 05 2024 8:34 pm Best 15th episode. Cute mom: Jang Young nam. She's Deserve to get MPV on this episode. Kim Ji eun love you.

Cosmas Oct 05 2024 5:34 pm I laughed out loud throughout episode 15

Aurora Oct 05 2024 2:51 pm Episode 15 is the best so far. Hoping 16 will be even better.

Shandy Oct 05 2024 5:36 am Am I the only one cried at episode 9 ending the way seok ryu's mom hugged her and cried omg. I totally felt it

Jan R. Oct 04 2024 3:22 am I was watching every week up to episode 4 and then I said to myself I should just wait for it to finish airing so that I can enjoy it watching without waiting. Watched Mr. Queen instead since I saw it randomly.

And now seeing so many people got disappointed on how the story went, I think watching Mr. Queen instead was one of the best decision of my life. Lol

I have been scammed! Oct 01 2024 8:28 pm !Spoiler Ahead! Sigh… I was drawn to this drama because I loved watching them in the interviews and the bts, they showed great chemistry and banter. I thought it could be another rom-com favourite or at least an enjoyable watch. But I was wrong. Sure, the leads have undeniable chemistry. Sure, the cast is great and by watching the bts everyone is having a blast. But that does not take away how messy the writing and directing is. I can’t believe I have sat and watched this drama without skipping once until episode 14. Yes, the ridiculous reveal made me roll my eyes, but I share the unpopular opinion that it was not such a bad plot point (I know crazy right?) so I tried to give the drama another chance and somewhat enjoyed (emphasis on somewhat) it prior to ep 14. The leads getting together were cute enough and they were some squee moments but as soon as that passed, I guess the writers were clueless in how to fill in the gaps until the show ends. The show in Korean should’ve been called ‘Mom’s friend’s daughter’ because how majority of the time we see mostly Seung-Hyo’s point of view and rarely Seok-Ryu’s side. I think this is the reason why we feel Seung-hyo’s love but we can’t really feel Seok-Ryu’s intense feelings for Seung-Hyo. It’s the writing. Her statement at the end of episode 13 was so lackluster I was pounding my chest in frustration. The show and writing just doesn’t know how to highlight an important moment. I also wish we could’ve explored more of the second leads because I do like their storyline too. The parents already have enough scenes. But I get it, it’s the same writers as ‘Hometown Cha cha’ so it won’t be full on romance. I’m just holding out for next two episodes and hoping it ends decently. However, I’m also expecting disappointment because I don’t want to regret the time spent watching this drama. Let's hope Jung Hae In and Jung So Min reunite in a better rom-com in the future. End of rant.

Judy Oct 01 2024 7:38 pm I absolutely love everything about this one. The beautiful friendship these two have from the beginning was hilarious. They share a beautiful bond that grows and then comes full circle and then get finally get together. There’s also the best friend’s story where she finds love with her reporter and his “daughter.” Also the friendship with the Lavender ladies is nice to see when they are there for each other. There is a lot of love and friendship in this show and this show has made me laugh and cry and can’t wait to see the last two shows. This is definitely becoming my favorite KDrama ever! I love everyone in this show!!

mao Oct 01 2024 10:31 am really disappointed how the production handle the focus of the plot, it's scattered all over. One thing that I don't understand.. Why they upload character pov diary while they could have shoot them on the series, danho's pov was such a waste. what the point of writing it beautifully but none of it presented on the drama, who gonna check their sosmed just to understand the character more? who??

I don't understand why they're focusing too much on mom and dad scenes, while they're so immature. why i have to see them pulling their hair over each other when there's much more promising plot they could've explore. paramedic lonely fight with mental health?? danho's pov??

ILa Sep 30 2024 6:40 pm I don’t think this drama is bad but I don’t think it’s the best either. I’ll categorise it under feel-good-easy-watch for sure. It touches on a range of relatable and important topics such as mental health, parental pressures, career vs family, starting over in your 30s etc which are commandable. The storyline doesn’t wow me but it’s enough to keep me watching.

However, this drama is very reminiscent of Queen of Tears and its problems. With the leads being notable actors, it’s a shame that their talents are so under utilised. Their great chemistry is often marred by painfully cringey and often times, stoic lines which reminds you that they are just actors acting like they’re in love. I don’t think it’s in the delivery, the writing is just not giving. Someone here said that So Min kisses like Park Shin Hye, has clearly not seen her other works, lol. I blame the plank style kissing on the director. What is going on with these Netflix kdrama lately? Personally, I feel like the quality has gone down hill. They were doing so well with dramas like “It’s ok not to be ok”, “Hometown Cha Cha Cha” etc

I would like to end my rant on a good note though, the drama does evoke memories and feelings of puppy love so despite all the shortcoming, it’s still a cute drama and I’d still want to see how it ends.

Silver Fox Sep 30 2024 12:34 pm I’m still watching but have too admit it is so difficult watching Hae-in in this. He’s such a great actor but this production is just awful! Hae-in please be sure your next drama is better than this. I will never stop being a fan. This one is just not up to your standards. ❤️?

coco Sep 30 2024 7:52 am would say it gets better later in the drama but the first couple of episodes were quite boring.. i just kept watching for jung haein lol seokryu becomes more likeable later as well, but i am still a little disappointed in somin's acting. there's just not enough versatility in her expressions imo?

i will say though, this drama shares a lot of important messages about life. i teared up a few times during relatable moments. overall i think it's just a feel-good drama with nothing too new or intense. it's like one of those dramas you'd have playing in the background while you do something else haha

Iced Americano Sep 29 2024 5:11 pm Okay, I honestly dreaded each episode and called it quits at ep 5. I was wondering why Jung Hae-In's character was so boring and weak... BUT I decided to give it another go, and I realized how damn good his acting is.

It's a super slow and typical drama, but I see the actors carrying the drama so I'm finishing it.

Last 2 episodes to go!

Tehee Sep 29 2024 12:42 pm Urgh I can't seem to like Bae Seok Ryu character.

Dora Sep 29 2024 9:54 am Don't see the need for each episode to be almost 1.5hrs long lol.

Rika Sep 28 2024 3:29 pm This drama is amazing! ML and FL have the best chemistry. Why am I seeing so much hate for it??

Feji Sep 28 2024 1:32 pm This writer is clearly a male-centred woman. How are you turning the actual struggles of the women (FL and ML's mom) into them being at fault? Also, I agree with the person who said ML keeps forcing himself on FL. How can the writer write something so terrible and audaciously portray it as romantic? 1/10

Feji Sep 28 2024 1:21 pm Awful, awful drama! Ridiculous plotlines and terrible characters. Everyone in the FL life is horrible to her and her parents are the worst.

Kimchi Sep 28 2024 10:05 am I could be wrong...but I think her brother wearing his shirt inside out.

nanana Sep 28 2024 2:55 am This drama is perfect. I love the lack of toxicity and that they didn't use the old and boring jealousy plot or psycho ex. It was all very mature and thought through without lacking it heartwrenching drama with new plots. I don't get people who hate on this show. It has brilliant actors, a thought through storyline and it unfolds really well. I love watching this show, it has already become my comdort show and it's not even done yet.

Imane Sep 26 2024 12:45 pm Boring, bad writing and immature leads, the story is very convoluted, I prefer the second leads story but its not given much important and the second female lead cant act her expressions look too forced. Genuinely disappointed as a long time Haein and Somin fan

Shofia Sep 25 2024 8:48 am Love jung jung couple so much.

Jill Sep 24 2024 6:48 am I thought Jung Mo-Eum has sisters, or are they younger? But now it feels like shes an only child

Mandy Sep 23 2024 4:03 pm Love the leads however the seconds are my favorite. Mo-Eum and Dan-Ho. Storyline isn't outrageous. A perfect feel good drama that heals via family and friendship and that you don't have to overthink.

juju Sep 23 2024 4:30 am lets be honest actually jung hae in, jung so min and other casts that carried this drama. if it's not because of them, i would have stopped at 3rd episode. because the writing is too poor and lazy... idk whats wrong with the writer bcs i love the casts so much but the writing and bad script did them so dirty and ughh

Badett Rei Sep 23 2024 2:04 am The first few episodes are great but as the story goes on..it becomes boring.. I stay.. I'd like to stay but the writer lost so am I

rocky Sep 23 2024 12:52 am Now that the leads are dating, I feel that the remaining episodes are already filler.

Anna lee Sep 22 2024 10:44 pm Its very beautiful series to watch also maybe it can help people who are having lone time or who ardeperisst . It have some nice things to learn about in real life so My opinion for anyone wants to watch is go ahead and watch . I mean that its gorgeous

Kdramaalover Sep 22 2024 4:24 pm This drama is so cute and real, so heartwarming and heart-fluttering. I never got bored watching it. When they depicted the family problems here it hits home because I can totally relate to their story. I'm so glad I watched this and super satisfied with the story progression, the character development, I can tell they have written it well and had a clear vision in mind of the story. Although the plot of the love story is a little bit cliche on some parts, but they did everything perfectly that I have no complaint!! I cried 3 times in the past episode cause it was so sad but I'm glad everything worked out in the end. This drama will definitely be underrated in my opinion. But, you can't satisfy everyone. This was super satisfying for someone like me who loves romcom, slice of life, and first love stories!

Jillibean Sep 22 2024 3:59 pm Too much criticism of this sweet drama. Often bittersweet drama. I have never once been bored. They are complicated people emotionally, all of them. I find that fascinating. Compared to American television shows today Korea's Love Next Door is a nice breath of fresh air. Lighten up and just go with the flow.

QUEE Sep 22 2024 2:10 am Thanks to Somin and Haein for their amazing chemistry, and to the talented parents for making this mess a success. The story started off well, and the first three episodes were great, but after that, the show became dull.

(Shin Ha-Eun) The writer who gave us a great drama like Hometown cha cha, but here didn’t deliver the same level!!!
Can’t seem to decide between realism and fantasy, leaving us with a weak plot, slow pacing, and unnecessary scenes and characters.

I want to talk about Seokryu’s character—her emotions are confusing, and she stayed cold all the way until episode 11. Does that even make sense??

The confession scene was both childish and abrupt. Why does the writer keep making Seokryu’s feelings for Seunghyo so unclear and distant? It’s really frustrating.

Even in the rooftop scene, when Seunghyo got all flustered after she touched his neck, Seokryu remained, as usual, cold and indifferent.

And then there’s the kiss scene “that so many people were waiting for” why was there more focus on the cinematography than on the emotions???!! A kiss in Seunghyo’s office or in the corner of a room would’ve been much more impactful than that sunflower field.

By episode 11, I feel like I’ve lost all hope. Even their dating phase is becoming more boring. I was expecting more intimate and bold moments, but instead, they’re becoming more childish and distant.

Somin and Haein’s great chemistry was completely wasted. I feel bad for them—they deserved a better drama with a writer who knew how to use their chemistry.

Kyra Sep 21 2024 9:18 pm Although the kdrama is a bit more serious than i expected I love how deeply and realistically it portrays real life family/ friendship connections. Ep 11 made me cry So Much, i felt so much empathy for seunghyo’s wounds. This drama confirmed that Communication - the willingness to be honest and vulnerable - are truly so essential in close connections, especially within family.

I think this drama teaches so much about being there for eachother and accepting them as they truly are even if their goals/ aspirations aren’t aligned with what you hoped for them. I’m in a place in my life where i’m experiencing the same - i’m not pursuing what my mom wants me to do but i’m doing what makes me happy. Lately she’s come around to accept me so much more for the person I am and the path I want to pursue. Sure it makes her uncomfortable still but it makes me happy she is so much more accepting of me.

Pursuing your happiness is the way of life, no matter how difficult it is to “disappoint” or make others (especially parents) uncomfortable

I Love This Drama So Much. I hope my mom is lowkey watching this (in chinese subs not eng) so she can gain some understanding about me even if slightly more :’)

100/10 recommend!!! Love this so much!! They should add more humor & romcom but i anticipate they will now that Seung-Hyo& Seok-Ryu Finally Kissed

Wonder How Their Family Will React Loool Yes

PANDORA Sep 21 2024 1:51 pm Halfway through episode 10 and I think it’s time I drop this… I tried, I really tried because I love Somin so much however the male lead is so off-putting. He’s more upset with the fact that she didn’t tell him she’s sick and lean on him, he’s calling her names like she’s “pathetic” and “weak” & that she’s only thinking about herself. Huh? The dialogue makes no sense, the direction is making no sense.

Ok Annkyu Sep 21 2024 11:53 am finally the main character start kissing

seina Sep 20 2024 11:48 pm I love choiseung seokryu, but hyeonjun.. that sad boy is sooo freakin romantic idk i'm crying when he called seokryu while standing in front her house ;;;; ((his voice is so deep and sad but sexy while he call seokryu))

Ayesha Sep 20 2024 7:47 am I dont know why people find this drama boring. But for me, it shows some realistic type of family situations. Like on the family of FL. I experienced the same situation where in the oldest always set aside. While watching the show my heart started to feel squeezed as I remember how my family was. Next was the ex bf. He was there and got tired since it was the only two of them supporting each other got fed up and miscommunication started. Seokryu situation was also valid as she has weak mental state so she gave up on his ex. But clearly she is still on the process where in she has a goal to be successful, not to have a new lovelife with sa ML. i just dont like the other family as its getting outrageos and so cliche.

Over all the drama is nice. Not the best but it is something worth to watch if you like some heart warming, family oriented, and a pinch of romcom.

Thursday Sep 19 2024 6:47 pm It is funny to read the comment "Her ex is insurance scammer". That ex guy is a successful lawyer who lives in USA! I don't think he is interested to collect her insurance. If it is true, I will be very disappointed with the plot.

I always feel deep sympathy for the 2nd lead characters since they are often be sacrificed to bring the main character's happiness. Oh..well..!

SPEEDSHOWI Sep 19 2024 9:41 am Her ex is insurance scammer, I'm insider of this Kdrama. Now you know why there is a first male lead

eve Sep 18 2024 5:51 pm the ex has done so much for here. so she is running from him so that she won’t burden him anymore ? or she don’t love him anymore but why ? will male lead do the same to her when it comes to a crunch. it’s not easy so she may have to go thru another relationship and if her depression come back what if male lead does not accept her more. well love ain’t everything, love can fall apart when there is hardship. so I’m not sure it’s fair now for her to go to male lead and possibly burden him next time. what is she thinking ?

Jillibean Sep 18 2024 1:05 pm It's an enjoyable drama, just fairly predictable plot set up. The quality of the actors is why I stick with this one. Been watching Jung So Min since 2010's Bad Guy and she's always beautifully emotive and interesting. My favorite drama of hers is Fix You from a few years ago. I think she did really well in that drama with a leading man older than she was. When paired with leading men closer to her own age, like in Love Next Door, the stories tend to be less unique and rather formula-driven.

Jenna Sep 17 2024 12:23 am It's more about family, friendship, sickness, depression & support systems, how sickness & other life struggles affects or strengthens ones relationship, with very little (heart warming) romance.

It could be triggering or/and not fun to watch, if this is not what you are looking for that's why I think many are frustrated by it, dropped it, etc. and not because of maturity/immaturity of the audience.

Because people will get disappointed if this isn't what they're looking for/expected so it's kind of a spoiler, but it's a warning if you're someone who reads things like this before watching.

I used to like these type of dramas but idk what exactly here that made me drop it when I've watched heavier ones. I resonate with how the FL has depression, family expectations, being the "good daughter" etc. It's probably just not what I want to watch at the moment.

The happy, romantic fluttering part, the overcoming struggles part, are just not enough (for me, it could be different for others) to get through the hard parts.

Maybe if I binge watched this, if I didn't start watching it weekly while it's airing, I'd probably like it more.

Za Sep 16 2024 9:49 pm Love the slow burn and realistic slice of life story, especially all about the friendship and family relationship. I think those parts are resonate the most. How we can see that communication is really that crucial, yet we still do mistakes due to personal ego or simply doesn't brave enoigh to talk. This drama greatly capturing those issues. Great casts. Shipping Jung Jung couple so hard. Waiting for their dating era. Kudos!

D Marq Sep 16 2024 9:43 am As the story continues about childhood friends all grown up , love starts to bloom . I think when the cancer story came out, it touched some audience who experience about this painful reality of having cancer. Maybe , some can't watch some of the scene because it reminded them of someone they lost like mine.( my mom, best friend and now my brother ongoing. ) But , this is Kdrama story about survival and finding love that was there all along. How misunderstandings can break up friendship or simply not being brave to speak out what you feel. This drama will make you strong and smile eventually. The casts are amazing. I will highly recommend to all who still believe in happy endings . It will make us think to be kind to someone whose having a hard time in life.

Stella Sep 16 2024 9:34 am I like this drama, good acting and good story. But like all other K-Dramas I already feel bad for the ex-fiance knowing that he will not really end up with the FL. Based on the episodes, ex-fiance seems a good guy and really loves FL. Depression is a difficult situation for both the depressed and those closest to the person. I understand why he needed some break and said unnice things which he regretted later. And FL loved him too and I guess broke up with him because she did not want to be a burden. So I don't understand why they can't get back together, eventually...

max Sep 16 2024 9:03 am Great drama, people who are mature enough can relate to it very easily, great acting, do not care about negative comments that much, but l think they are not warranted to say the least. I think cast and production did a very good job so far. as they say...fighting!!!

Ana Sep 16 2024 6:30 am Look at all the comments,Are we watching the same drama? I love everything bout the drama..main lead n supporting roles story. Esp latest ep 10. The acting is Wow.. For me, this drama is for mature viewer. So i get it some of the viewer feel dissapointed..?

Kdrama Sep 16 2024 3:35 am This drama is popular mainly because of the cast and their acting. the plot is badly written like the writer is writing this while on drunk.. I rather watch shin mina drama despite the ML's acting that drama tons better than this

xyz Sep 15 2024 2:48 pm What are you whining about? All this hysterics is exhausting... I love this series!

keitaro3660 Sep 15 2024 1:31 pm wow, i liked all the story direction so far tho. but, is it only me that likes this drama until now?? all i see for new comment is just complain. i don't even care about "Genre", i just enjoy the story and every characters development for each episode. haaaaaaaaaa.... this episode is really tearjerking, but it's end well, i'm happy. now that seok ryu didn't have anything with her and her problem seems solved, what will happened next? hmmm... still 6 episode? i really don't have any clue. haha moem love story also really interesting and funny, can't wait to see that again. episode 11 will be about the divorce? wow, that's sad. i'm sure the mom is actually want to tell that she lose her job and will be a housewive, which is the dream of the doctor, but, dang, doctor saying divorce first, sad. haaaaaaaa... must wait next week again for new episode :/

Drama not romance Sep 15 2024 12:28 pm I held on until Ep10 but I'm out. I could see them as friends but not lovers, and he's a selfish bad friend, he thinks too much of his romantic feelings for her than actually caring for her.

I feel bad for the ex but I also understand the FL.

The ML is projecting too much, he knew he's a coward, if he approached her 3 years ago than be a coward, he would've known. I actually don't think that's just cowardice, it's petty, what kind of friendship is that?

I really wanted to watch the 2nd lead couple but it's just so annoying, I kept on skipping scenes but it's still annoying to see. So yeah, rather than complaining here again, til 6 more episodes, I'd drop it now although I've come far. Ugh, I hate it coz I debated on starting this drama, and now it's a waste. I really like her Somin's acting though.

It's a Drama y'all, Not Romance! Beware!

Jo Sep 15 2024 11:08 am Episode 9 and 10 are too heavy, cancers related dramas people tend to avoid these days, it causes anxiety. Watching dramas is for entertainment not to feel heavy and thinking about if one day can one get stomach cancer. The female lead character doesn't have any chemistry toward the male lead. Just cold

I hope ep 11 will get better and stop with the cancer issue. This drama started so good but ep 8 onward just depressing

Jane Sep 15 2024 8:17 am Idk, even after ep9, I suddenly don't root for the lead couple anymore. It would've been better if it's a story of how she & her ex get back together (like a different story, maybe different cast), but here, I kind accept that she won't get back with her ex but I just don't feel her love for the ML, idk why, though they show flashbacks, they show her perspective, his perspective, I just don't root for them. I feel like he's pushing himself too much to her and not in a cute, heart fluttering, friendship to lovers way, but as if it's his right or privilege to do so. Is it just me? Why is it written or directed that way.

Also, they really shouldn't label it romantic comedy when It's Not, is that a translation mishap, is it a mellow drama in Korean?

Glad I'm still enjoying the 2nd lead couple but they seem to be crying next episode too, still they have chemistry.

kc Sep 15 2024 2:57 am I hope Song Hyeon-Jun and Bae Seok-Ryu find their way back together if she’s considering a new relationship, as there doesn’t seem to be any clear conflict between them. If the writers are determined to pair the lead actors together, it might be helpful to introduce a flaw or issue in her ex’s character to make the transition feel more natural and avoid making the ex seem unfairly treated

keitaro3660 Sep 14 2024 11:47 pm i just watched episode 9 now. omg it's so sad and makes me cry T__T the drama is getting serious and climax now. yea, seo ryuk and choissang is so fit in together, since when choissang sick in the past and have depression, seo ryuk always there, now it's seoryuk turn to get sick and choissang will be there for her. dang, this is a really sweet drama

Kdrama lover Sep 14 2024 11:14 pm I seriously don’t know why this movie is getting so many bad review.. it’s been so nice so far I mean,you shouldn’t compare ‘Love next door’ with ‘Queen of tears’ they are both of different story FR. If it’s similar,people will still come here and condemn the story ,that the writer copied themselves.

The actors actings are okay so far,story is going well It’s too early to condemn please,we are just half way ,there are still 7 more beautiful Episodes please. Thank you. With Plenty Love ❤️

lin Sep 14 2024 10:55 pm is this even worth watching? I couldnt go on even before first episode ended. Seems like another one of his something in the rain type of drama. No drama. No excitement.

enorcsi Sep 14 2024 12:07 pm I'm only staying for the paramedic's storyline

Heath Tuttle Sep 13 2024 10:57 pm “Love Next Door” is the best of all the Korean love dramas we’ve seen so far, and its screenwriter, director, and actors need to know they have created a gem.

Sakura Sep 11 2024 12:59 pm @jerasuju I totally agree with you. Love Next Door is worth watching. The plot is very realistic and relatable. JHI and JSM are brilliant actors and they indeed have a great chemistry. All characters in this kdrama are well-portrayed as well.

jerasuju Sep 11 2024 9:59 am the series is still halfway but people are already shitting about its plot direction because it didn’t what they expected to be as “romcom”. A story has conflict arcs even in romcom, it’s just that love next door has more serious conflicts compared to other romcom. and this has been promoted as healing drama and healing happens after trauma. FL’s health (stomach cancer) may find by some viewers as too much but i think it perfectly closes some foreshadowing at previous episodes like on ep1 - the FL was described by her friend moeum as getting skinny, can’t tolerate spiciness anymore before while eating tteokbokki and the 1yr leave from work. the writer seems got inspired by the story of a chef with no stomach for the character of FL. As per jung haein, the party will start at episode 11 up to the end. Overall, i love this series and it hit so close to home compared to other on-going kdramas

Emily Sep 10 2024 12:33 am I loved "Fight for my way" so much as romance-comedy between childhood love. So my expectation was high in "Love next door". Firstly, I enjoyed the storyline until their Exs came out. Hey, pls give them a chance to love in romance not a friend. Lol Anyway, I will continue to support Choiseung and Seok ryu.

Official Sep 10 2024 12:08 am This story line is boring please,i wonder what the writer intends to do by bringing the exes inside. And the beginning said the ex boyfriend cheated and now he is the die hard good ex boyfriend that loves her so much.Lmaoooo And what’s with the queen of tears look alike storyline Mtchewww. I’m only watching this for jung hae in’s visuals.

WHY WHY WHY Sep 10 2024 12:01 am after episode 8 the theory of bae seok ryu's death emerged. jung mo eum will take care of bae seok ryu, kang and ho will write about bae seok ryu's life, choi seung hyo will remember bae seok ryu through the funeral home he designed. i don't know if i can continue watching because i'm starting to get annoyed with choi seung hyo's ex and bae seok ryu's ex and how the story became a love triangle and now the story is heading towards melodrama. I think for now I will focus on no gain no love first.

Cheat Sep 09 2024 10:23 pm They went through a lot, the FL and her ex fiance. But he still cheated. He could really have good motives, it was just a mistake (I know there are playboys who kept on cheating, it's their character already, but there are a few who cheat one time) But Why? Coz Men? Do we really have to accept that, that it's just in their nature? Of course there are good ones (or not get caught and did not repeat, or of course just good ones, speaking only in terms cheating). But why? He knew he had cancer and still did that to her. Actually it's pretty common, when there's sickness in the family, someone cheats out of the family. But why? why? I somehow roots for them, I feel like masochist. It probably won't happen, coz he's not the main lead. But idk, I'm not convinced w/ the main lead. Is she going to die, will she not end up with anyone, will it be an open ending.

I wonder how will they make me root for the main leads when I have this feeling it won't work out or if it does, it won't be as romantic & as convincing because of how the plot twisted.

I'm still into the 2nd leads so atleast. But the triangle between the main couple, her ex fiance and his ex girlfriend is not so fun to watch.

Roci Alba Sep 09 2024 11:50 am I gave it 45 minutes and I was really bored. I love the leading actress, but I feel the actor falls short. He is so monotone. Nope, I will not keep watching drama.

Mai Sep 09 2024 10:23 am Please give us a happy ending. I don’t know if I can watch the next episode- Episode 10. I don’t like this feeling

RoseChisom Sep 09 2024 8:16 am Is the writer a sadist? Because I can't understand why you can't stick to the way it was going. Must you spoil a story? Do you know some people started watching this drama because they thought it will be a romcom to escape their realities? But see the useless twist you added to the story. In whatever you do, you better give us the ending we expected.

vin Sep 09 2024 3:46 am The EX scenes got more screen time than 2nd lead until today episode. Haha, rid of them, back to our circle asap...haha

Lee Sep 08 2024 10:44 pm hmmm i think they ruined the Main Leads story here but interjecting a very weird plot line ~ cancer relapse and stuff. weird. in the sense that its not Rom Com anymore, and its not even funny or romantic. its supposed to be building the main leads chemistry but instead they went the opposite. meanwhile the Secondary characters were building their chemistry well. no complicated plotlines.. and I'm having fun watching them....i found myself skipping some scenes because of the female lead's family weird complicated thing with their own daughter.

hope they fix this ASAP or I'm not going to watch this till the end. will just only watch no gain no love instead.

Emmanuel Sep 08 2024 8:44 pm The reality is that they started well until chapter 8 which for several is the sign of the clickhe and the copy of other doramas had everything to make a great proposal and the only thing they managed to do was destroy the project, they have a great cast and they did not take advantage of it... it is supposed to be romantic comedy and the writers are burying everything... it will be one but I no longer see it, I know what they are going to do and I think I will not be the only one who thinks about it.

Sabrin Sep 08 2024 4:43 pm Why Seriously Why? I’m very disappointed in the writer .. Even though, I’ve seen it coming … I hope I’ll not cancel the last episodes like QOT.

Nelly Sep 08 2024 4:19 pm Why do they have to ruin the story with something very cliche.....

M Sep 08 2024 11:14 am Now why did the writer have to do that. She can be terminally ill without having to hurt her “best friend’s” feelings. I find it so annoying that Kdrama script writers always feel the need to make the other person hurt the person as a way of protecting them. It’s always the annoying part of almost every Kdrama. Everything was going so well until that part. Is it so difficult to just say to your friend… I’m sick and so on… why do they always strong a third person along unnecessarily? Why make characters suddenly so inhumane and selfish?

blueha Sep 08 2024 11:08 am when they said it is a rom-com but suddenly the latest episode tells about her being sick ?

Not a rom com Sep 08 2024 10:44 am Just like QOT this drama claims to be a romcom but they are both clearly melodramas! I've dropped them both.

Sky Sep 08 2024 9:17 am The only reason why I still keep on watching this drama are the main leads. I love them both. So I mainly skip most of the scenes and only what those they're in. It's really dull, boring, and lifeless. There's nothing extraordinary about it.

Ellen Sep 08 2024 7:32 am I’m watching for Jung Hae In. Just love him as an actor, great in Something in the Rain and DP. He’s very polished. Not sure about FL - bit ditsy. Hoping the story gets a bit of pep and tension, but it’s cute.

Janette Sep 08 2024 4:57 am I am a bit disappointed with the Director. He has a great cast why he feels the need to be a copy cat??? Does he not have his own originality? So far, time capsules, swimming pool / swimming champion and now, the scene with the falling cherry blossoms .. I wonder what's next? Catching the falling petals??? Come On Mr Director.... those scenes belongs to Lovely Runner ... Sun Jae and Im Sol ...

Tiyem Sep 07 2024 9:32 pm I hopee it's a happy ending!?? I loveee this kdramaa soo much, i'm always looking forward to weekends bc of this!?? YAYYYYAYAYA

Ibu ibu jowo Sep 07 2024 6:48 pm I hope jungsomin with first male(hae in) for now, not like bad guy or alchemy of soul

Me Sep 07 2024 6:36 pm My goodness, how many arrogant opinions! This character is annoying, that is unnecessary, she shouldn't behave like that, he should manage better his feelungs, there isn't a big Big "problem" to solve.... jeez! It's a romcom with sometimes exaggerated but funny scenes. A simple story, nice ordinary people with everyday weaknesses and fears, small or big secrets. Some of them are loud, others are quiet. The series is not even halfway through, with each episode it becomes more clear why someone behaves this way or that way. The story probably ends with them finding each other, but it's fun to watch with many talented actresses and actors how it's unfolding. I can't wait every week!

Koreana Sep 07 2024 2:32 am The story is typical but the way they act what makes it interesting, all Hae ins partner in all dramas have a good chemistry. Regardless of the storyline I will finish this because all of the cast are really good except the paramedics partner.

Master Sep 06 2024 9:23 am I'm at ep2 and seok ryu's mom is so annoying. She should try to understand her, defend her against her friends; not be ashamed of her.

NK Sep 04 2024 8:23 am Unnecessary characters with stiff acting - the paramedic and journalist. Storyline is weird too, especially on ep 4 with the greip staff. Ep 5 with the morning scene in the brother's room. Too many exaggeration ..

Iwanz Sep 04 2024 1:48 am Jung so min keep doing modern romantic comedy drama, which is my favorite genre. Because this is my first love, monthly magazine home, and love next door :)

Vittoria Sep 03 2024 6:51 pm Hi, i’m really struggling to find the song playing during the scene in ep. 1 when they meet again and the baloon fly in the sky. I’ve tried with shazam and google but nothing works, please please, if you know this song tell me. It’s such a beautiful melody ?. Thank you already

EGG Sep 03 2024 1:09 pm I love this series . It is a good story and I love the two actors. I get excited every Saturday and Sunday waiting for the drama. They are both good looking and great actors. Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes.

shane Sep 03 2024 2:59 am I super love this series, Jung somin is so pretty plus she's really good in acting. Love the chemistry between Jung somin and Jung hae in.

Meeraj Sep 03 2024 2:16 am Oh my, I love the "something in the rain" reference ?❤️

Melinda Daringer Sep 02 2024 9:51 pm Anyone know what song is playing at the very end of ep 3?

Rz Sep 02 2024 7:44 pm I agree with the comment that the storyline is kinda simple and some people might also find it boring.

However, I also think that, that is the main point of this drama, a simple life with everyday life issue. I mean, that usual things are the ones being experienced by most people, right? Hesitation, afraid of saying our opinion, indecisive, do not know what are we going to do with life, etc

Love this drama so far, especially on some banter lines between the lead that correlate with modern daily life the most. Also, in love with realistic character portrayal by Jung So Min and Jung Hae in. Shipping these two. Kudos !

brownsugarpearlmilktea Sep 02 2024 7:40 am The pace is too slow and the storyline is like all over the place. Idk where the story heading to, so far. Maybe it's gonna be until Seokryu falls in love or realizes she is in love with Seunghyo, then it's gonna be eps 12+ hmmm. I don't like Seokryu's character, she is childish, always willing in control over everything, not listening to others, not sharing her minds or problems to the people close to her, even her parents. It's really annoying since her parents deserve to know her reason cancelling the wedding no matter what it is, come on, that's really huge problem, how come you don't tell them?! I agree that not every single thing we need to share, but for this..., really?! I prefer Moeum's character more, she is mature and she acts just like her age, she is independent but also down to earth. I agree with someone who said, this drama is getting like Doctor Slump, promising actors and actresses, good start, but then... dang! Even I'm slowly getting bored watching this drama, but let's see more and wait.

Moon Cycle Sep 02 2024 7:04 am My type of drama I guess, light, fun, cheerful, and awesome casts

Ziara Sep 02 2024 3:10 am What a feel-good show HUHUHU <3 <3

all of the characters are adorable, rooting for all of them is easy <3

Frankie Sep 02 2024 2:55 am Writer-nim & director-nim, what's going on? The two main actor & actress are popular Kdrama stars. Are you going to kill their acting careers? What direction is the story going to be? I fell asleep half way in episode 3!

Renwa Sep 01 2024 9:13 pm Finishing episode 6…out of respect for so many of the actors whose work I respected & enjoy. What the heck is this? Can’t remember watching a drama with such an array of irritable, inane, ridiculous characters. I literally can’t take another minute of this torture. Yikes!

bila Sep 01 2024 8:39 pm i enjoy this show so far! i always love jung somin and this is actually my first time watching jung haein as the lead in drama and wow he is great! i love their chemistry! the second couple is also just as cute as the main couple moeun is so cool and kang danho is so adorbs! cant wait to see the development of the both couple. i really like this kind of slice of life series i like the dynamics of the families it feels raw and relatable i cant wait for the next episode!!!

Tome Sep 01 2024 5:57 pm Loving it so far and can't wait for the next episodes ☺️

Jillibean Sep 01 2024 4:43 pm Been watching Jung So Min since Bad Guy in 2010. She always picks cute or meaningful dramas so I will stick with this one even though it seems kind of predictable so far.

Dd Sep 01 2024 3:55 pm This drama is so funny!! I am on episode 5, waiting a week for the next 2 episodes is painful! I love Jung So Min and she is never disappointing, she portrays the character very well. I needed a light drama like this when there is no villain ❤️?

Jen Sep 01 2024 3:32 pm I absolutely love the two main actors and it is the only reason I am patiently sticking with this drama. The way their characters are written is terrible. They're both very immature in dealing with their feelings for each other. I'm liking the love story between the second leads more. It's boring, the female lead character is annoying and I haaaaate how the male lead character deals with his feelings by being mean to her. But I freaking love the actors and so I'm just waiting for it to get better (hopefully)

D Marq Sep 01 2024 10:49 am Lead actors are very cute and charming. Their coming out for each other is really hard. A lot of twist and turn. It's funny yet sweet romcom. Second lead actors are very good also. This is definitely a feel good story .

keitaro3660 Sep 01 2024 10:06 am just watching episode 5. so, seok ryu already find her dream?? and it's for episode 6. problem with Greip also kinda solved. maybe the future plot will still going for that seok ryu Ex

also, lol, i though this drama is only 8 episode. it's 16?????!!!! whoaaaaaaaaaa then it will be so slow lol main character's love confession usually on the last 10%-20% of the episode, so at this rate, it will be on eps 14+. but wow, they kinda already have love development this early. probably something else will happened to prolonged the drama, dang, i hope it won't contain too much filler and not too slow.

anyway, i also enjoy episode 5. 10/10 btw i though the youtuber is mocking seong ryuk dad, that's why he looks depressed and went for cigarette. but is that youtuber just go missing after making mukbang video? or maybe for future episode

Cute i pie Aug 31 2024 1:03 pm I'm a bit surprised when I see Seo ji hye as his EX

Astroidyy Aug 31 2024 11:17 am “Something in the rain” easter egg lol

(⁠｡⁠•̀⁠.•́｡⁠) Aug 31 2024 10:19 am I think Jung So-Min is just the cutest thing evurr... Her cuteness is just not fair... it should be illegal :*)

Nelly Aug 30 2024 12:11 am I think it's the next best thing after lovely runner

M Aug 29 2024 5:43 am I usually love Jung So Min but her character annoys me a bit in this drama. She's always yelling, arguing or complaining. I get that's she's having a hard time, but it gets tiresome to listen to.

soyaa_stay Aug 29 2024 12:40 am i really like you Jung Hae In ?.and I never expected you to act in a comedy drama together with actress Jung So Min ? btw I'm your fan from Malaysia. Saya sayang awak ❤

Za Aug 28 2024 7:24 am Love love love it so far.. It's cliche and simple yet still so adorable and executed very well Can we have Jung Jung couple ship sailing as well ? :)

Aj30 Aug 27 2024 10:09 pm I think Kang dan ho is a single father and his daughter is the girl in the park that Mo eum just met. Haha.. It just my hunch.. BTW, I love this drama.. I'm a big fan of Jung hae in and Jung so min.. love them both in one drama.. And I love their friendship turning into love story..❤️

Addicted already Aug 27 2024 5:50 pm I was looking forward to this drama and finally it’s airing. I was hooked on episode 1 wanting more. The lead couple are compatible and have natural chemistry. I want more episodes to air quicker. I am smiling ☺️

smarty-pants Aug 27 2024 11:58 am FL looks extra stylish in the meeting scene ep 4 min 49:20s. Good job stylist dept. the earrings, tied up hair. the color of her business suit, make up. perfect....! I usually avoid earrings, many times it makes face looks too full of everything, but this one is impeccable. I didnt pay attention to her acting in that particular scene, though. lol. too busy staring at her visuals.

Maggie Aug 27 2024 6:05 am Its cute but im not sure of what the plot is gonna be for 16 episodes.. I dont see what other storylines are there except for the leads falling in love

keitaro3660 Aug 27 2024 12:42 am dang, just watched eps 4 now, this drama is so sweet. this drama always give you warm and positive feeling after each episode, and never leave you in cliffhanger each end episode.

each episode, we got Very satisfying end and conclusion of that episode. now i just notice, each episode they introduce new plot and solution, like in 4th episode, they just suddenly introduce Social Media in the beginning, and that will be the resolve on the end.

same like in episode 3, introduce swiming in the start, then satisfying conclusion in the end.

haaaaaaa... i really love this drama so much!!!!!!! always feeling positive watching it

jung so min is so funny and charismatic too ?

FelyJ Aug 26 2024 11:45 pm 4 episodes in and I'm hooked! I can't wait for the next episodes to see how their relationship will progress from bickering old friends to something romantic. I can't with those saying they lack chemistry! Everytime they're together on screen, even when they're just messing with each other, you feel the electricity. And pls, it would feel weird if 2 people who knew each other since they were kids, who took baths together, who practically grew up together and who seemed liked brother and sister would be acting lovey-dovey with heart eyes for each other very early in the show. That would be bad writing. In the first two episodes, their bickering siblings-like relationship was established. In the next two episodes, we see that though they love to squabble, they actually truly care for each other: she missed her mock exam to cheer for him, and he brought her her favorite comic books all the way to the States (then); he meticulously recreated her old room, and she supported his company do business with Greip (now). I'm excited to see how their relationship will blossom into romance and how the people around them will react to our future new couple.

Tyler Aug 26 2024 2:36 pm Kang dan ho is stalker? Something fishy

elisa Aug 26 2024 11:36 am i just don’t get people who says the leads are lacking romantic chemistry and better off as friends etc. IT’s ep 4???? they’re friends now. it would be more unnatural if they suddenly got lovey dovey without context. we need the starting line before they become romantically involved lol????

i enjoyed the on going eps so much. my lonely ass wants friends like seunghyo and moeum as well. looking forward the next eps <3

Ripa Aug 26 2024 6:58 am A unique concept with too much fun. I am really enjoying to watch this drama specially their chaotic side .

Heyarnold Aug 25 2024 1:36 pm Jung Hae-In is perfection, his acting is top notch!

AK Aug 25 2024 1:37 am I’m really enjoying this new romantic comedy and can’t wait for the 4th episode to drop today on Netflix— but When? Jung So-Min is one of my favorite actresses, and her chemistry with Jung Hae-In is fantastic. I’m so excited to see what happens next!

Kimchi Aug 25 2024 12:27 am @M , he has a scar at the swimming scene, when he removed his jacket and when he was standing at the starting line..

M Aug 24 2024 1:12 pm Not petty me looking for the childhood scar on his back. They forgot to add it in the swimming scene. Still I love this series so much so far lol

Jem Aug 24 2024 2:14 am The fact that it’s a romantic comedy between two actors that are so underrated makes this even more so powerful.. because the story line and the plot of the characters are so good so far, both main lead actors have wonderful chemistry. You really think they were good friends in real life, which it seems like they are. Which Is Good. What I’m getting from this drama so far is that; it has love, comedy, family, self love and so much more.. it Low key reminds me of hometown cha cha which is funny because the directors and writers are the same ones lol ? but anyways if you want to have a feel good drama with great chemistry from the main leads this is it ?❤️

Jarley Aug 22 2024 10:14 pm Very good drama! Love the chemistry between the main leads!! Excited for the coming episodes!!❤️❤️❤️

kakak Aug 22 2024 5:47 pm Love the chemistry between the leads. They are so cute together and especially a fan of this trope. Those who hate obviously are shippers lol

Anon Aug 22 2024 11:21 am Idk but i have this feeling that seokryu is ill and she just want to spend more time with her fam and friends

Winnie Aug 21 2024 1:17 pm I have mixed feelings for the first episode. It wasn't too good, it wasn't too bad but the problem is the lack of chemistry between the main leads. They seem cute together but as friends. I don't see any romantic aura around them. Acting wise everyone is doing great. Somin and Haein are already great actors and they are shining in this drama in their roles.

For the romance, I am more interested in the second leads than the main leads. That's not a good sigh imo. Not sure if I will be continuing this drama :(

Sooyaathink Aug 21 2024 12:46 am Good drama so far. I like the main leads but i dont see them as a romantic couple. Their chemistry is more of a sibling/best friend bond/ one sided love lol xD But it’s still early so let’s see if they show some progress. If you’re currently watching chinese drams because there’s no new/good kdrama to watch then give this one a try :)

Noonim Aug 20 2024 11:07 am Been waiting for this pair to work together and it's finally happened. The natural acting from all cast and how they all just pull you into their world. Looking forward to more tears, laughs, and everyday life as we watch their characters unfold. As summer is ending, their fresh chemistry is the beautiful changing colors to the start of fall. Can't wait for next episodes!!! Rooting for the cast, directors, writers, and crew in this drama!!!

Rich Dad Aug 20 2024 10:24 am I want sook member alot scene and hee member scene,maybe a version their young, will be funny.lol

Dani Aug 20 2024 4:55 am The drama is like fresh like a spring breeze. I really like how the leads' chemistry (so far per EP2) is very much not forced - even the 'lack' of it as the person below says, for me is natural; I'm actually glad they don't have those lovey-dovey chemistry right from the start so we can look forward to how their feelings will develop when they 'upgrade' their status from mere childhood, neighborhood, mom's-friend's-child friends to more.

Seokryu's mom is radiating such big Asian mom energy. I will say she's not a bad mom, even if she does things I'd rather she not, but really, her characterization hits close to home. I can see her traits in my mom and neighborhood aunties. She's annoying but also warm at the same time. I hope she can empathize more with Seokryu in the future.

I expect more spice on Seunghyo's character. So far he feels like such a goody-two-shoes (no wonder considering how his parents are like). I also am excited to see how will other side characters stories turn out, such as miss paramedic bestie's and mr gym rat brother's. But I'm really loving the slice-of-life, mundane. daily, this-could-happen-to-all-of-us vibes up until this point. Can't wait for the next episodes! <3

M Aug 20 2024 1:36 am I agree with Ari… I don’t know where this is going but I think I needed it too. Keeping my fingers crossed… hoping there will be no serial killer in this one. Something light and sweet about the struggles of every day life and falling in love with your friend. I really like their chemistry as friends… the love/hate that doesn’t seem pretentious lol it’s 100/100 for now.

Claire Aug 19 2024 7:32 pm Early episodes are too heavy for me arrrggghhhh

Ari Aug 19 2024 6:05 pm I needed a light drama as everything is too heavy and suffocating at the moment, really needed a good laugh, thanks for this. I can't wait for the ups and downs of this couple

Fizzy Aug 19 2024 6:03 pm The Jung Jung couple! I love them already...I picked a thing from Jung So Min's family especially her mother, she is insensitive to her daughter's feelings, instead of her to sit her daughter down and ask her the real reason for her leaving US, but know she still wants to continue to save face in front of her high school classmates.

Motunrayo Aug 19 2024 12:23 pm How I love the chaos!!!!....pls if you're looking for something serious and deep...go and watch blackout or your honour....Jebal...no hate comment here pls!!!... Some of us just want to smile away our troubles for a while....if you're looking for something deep... pls check elsewhere...my JungJung couple...heating??

Corrinne Aug 19 2024 9:23 am Very good right off the bat!!! Fast pace, entertaining and chemistry A1!

Kumi Aug 19 2024 12:42 am Exactly what I needed. Your Honor and all the other newly released dramas are too heavy and hard to watch. Thanks to Love next door the week can end lighter

vin Aug 18 2024 10:20 pm When it come with jung so min, i cant skip her drama. So far(ep2), this drama near with our daily life.

Valeria Aug 18 2024 8:14 pm Another refreshing and lovely family drama

Natelie Aug 18 2024 6:19 pm This show is so cute anyone who says other wise is a hater.

Jane Aug 18 2024 8:08 am I loved Hometown Cha Cha Cha and never missed any episode so this drama too I will watch with the same energy!!! I think no one noticed about this drama writer is the same one. Please watch it sincerely not purely pursue of your own ego. It's a healing drama guys, watch it well.

OlethsMusings Aug 18 2024 7:09 am I would love to meet a Seung Hyo in real life because I have an inexplicable fondness for cemeteries, funeral parks, columbarium since I was a child.

That aside, I love Jung So Min and Jung Hae In chemistry already. that friend to lover trope is something that never get olds because admit or not, we probably have a childhood crush somewhere out there… either in school or in the neighborhood.

Looking forward to later’s episode

Naksu_ Aug 18 2024 5:22 am I had high hopes for this drama but episode 1 didn't meet my expectations. I feel like the plot is a bit bland, there's not much to it and their relationship where they tease each other is getting boring and repetitive (after 130 K-dramas watched, I can't take it anymore). Their relationship and the way they act towards each other feel a bit more like a brother-sister relationship, I can't ship them romantically. I love both lead actors, but something is off. Let's see what ep 2 brings to the table so I can decide if I continue or drop it altogether.

Jingga Aug 18 2024 1:23 am Just finished first episode, Seokryu comeback were so chaotic? Jung Haein somehow bring the fresh air with this kind of character?????? Andddd i bet there’s something between Her mother and His father in the past, idk

Kat Aug 17 2024 11:41 pm So far.., I really enjoyed this drama in Netflix.., Jung so Min is a really Good actress and best actress in Comedy. So far she’s one of my fave actress in romcom or conedy., her acting is ao natural and funny.., Though Jung Hae In looks didnt really fit to an introverted rich boss type of character. I think their acting just blend well because jusng ao min is really good., Cant wait for the next episode.

None Aug 17 2024 6:07 pm Just a theory but i think seokryu have terminal illness that's why she cancel the wedding and went along with the cheating thing

Dinuka Aug 17 2024 2:45 pm 1st episode is amazing... simple story but it feel my heart... I love this drama from Sri Lanka

Chey Aug 17 2024 1:54 pm Pilot episode is simply amazing! I can't with the 2 main leads' chemistry! It's simply through the roof!!!!! Hoping this will be an excellent rom-com.

seokjinie Aug 17 2024 11:18 am ep1 is so chaotic, plot reminds me of doctor slump, i think seung hyo also has a hidden problem thus the obsession with tombs/memorial park

Cute i pie Aug 16 2024 12:34 pm The casts look so good... Can't wait..

dramagirl Aug 12 2024 11:15 pm Can't wait to see this dramaaa!

CarinaPH Jul 24 2024 1:16 pm The teasers look so cute! They're two of my faves. Love Somin in The Smile Has Left Your Eyes and Because This Is My First Life. Love Haein in Everything: melodrama, genre, you name it, he nails it. I'm sure they'll both deliver! Pls give us great writing because that's what makes a great drama. Can't wait for August 17!

eszen vallente Jul 22 2024 4:08 pm i like them both. ..its good they pair now in a drama. ..can't wait the first episode. ..

Tonia Jan 15 2024 3:30 pm I can’t wait

Moony Jan 10 2024 5:00 pm Jung so min is my favorite actress, I love her so much! I just hope that she dosen't die in this drama lije in many others... In Alchemy of souls her caracter was so fanny but she still died... So all I can is belive!

Chey Jan 09 2024 3:10 pm I need this so badly. Alchemy of Souls feels so ancient ... that I miss seeing Jung So Min's face in my screen. Curious how their chemistry will turn out in this drama.

Inveeme - Undangan Nikah Online Jan 08 2024 2:34 am is it true that Jung Hae In and Jung So Min are on the same project?? I can't wait for their acting

Jillibean Jan 06 2024 3:34 am Sounds promising. Love both actors. Can't wait to watch.
