Love Next Door
What's the Story?
In LOVE NEXT DOOR, Choi Seung-hyo (Jung Hae-in) is a successful architect and co-CEO of atelier "In." He's just bought a new building not too far from his childhood home, renovating it to become his new office. Then he runs into Bae Seok-ryoo (Jung So-min), who has secretly come back home to Korea after working at a big tech company in the United States for the past few years. The two instantly butt heads, the oddities of their childhood bonds and growing pains clashing. When it turns out that Seok-ryoo is starting over and back home for good, the two are once again next-door neighbors in their childhood homes. How will their past affect their relationship as adults?
Is It Any Good?
This series is a rambunctious and romantic journey into starting over. Love Next Door shines in physical comedy and interesting character dynamics. The chemistry between Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min is palpable and refreshing. Side couple Kim Ji-eun and Yoon Ji-on also have an intriguing and substantial storyline, which is unusual for the genre. The limited violence, language, and sexual content make this suitable for most teens.
