Love Next Door was a drama that had many unexpected turns and wasn’t the ‘romantic comedy’ that people were hoping for. What this drama did give the viewers was two love stories, Jung Hae-In’s puppy eyes, a family dynamic that was chaotic and warm, and the theme of how the impact of sharing your struggles with others helps you heal.

This show was highly anticipated because of Shin Min-Ah, but the ladies are having a hard time understanding the dynamic between the two leads. Shin Min-Ah is great, but the character she plays (as of right now) is questionable. It also has been hard to pinpoint where the male lead is coming from.

The ladies love the leads, but find that everything else not involving them in the drama doesn’t need to be there. The ex-boyfriend is a huge red-flag, Ji-ah needs to advocate more for herself, and Kim Min-kyu with a K should attend a class to help him figure out the difference between robots and humans.
