It’s still crazy that the two biggest K-dramas of this year 2024 aired basically at the same time, with a full month overlap. I’m talking about Queen of Tears which has been confirmed by GoodData as the buzziest K-drama of the year, followed by Lovely Runner in second place. The two never didn’t air in the same time slot but … Continue reading →
The year end polls appear to be starting earlier than usual what with two months left to actual produce a mega hit or another turkey. But it’s still interesting to see what Korean industry insiders think and Joynews polled 200 media, television station employees, production companies, and reporters to ask what they thought was the worst K-drama of the year. … Continue reading →
The experience of watching Love Next Door for me was a frustrating one so having it end this weekend felt like a release of sorts. Now I don’t have to keep waiting each week for the drama to get better as a whole while accepting the little nuggets of satisfying moments and scenes strung between filler. One thing tvN did … Continue reading →
I haven’t written about tvN weekend drama Love Next Door the last few weeks because I did check out from full watching after the narratively frustrating first half of the drama, and the inconsistent chemistry of leads Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, which to date I can’t figure out if it’s their natural chemistry issue or their acting … Continue reading →
So apparently I do have my limited for watching two stars I love in a genre I love if the story and characters are just that frustrating. Such is the case for Love Next Door with Jung Hae In and Jung So Min which hit midway in airing this weekend, with ratings hitting new lows of 3% on Saturday’s episode … Continue reading →
There isn’t a lot of story per se with tvN drama Love Next Door, so it rests on the characterizations, interactions, and chemistry. And so far 4-episodes in it’s still a mixed bag for me. I want desperately to love it and find myself working hard to merely like it, if the leads weren’t Jung Hae In and Jung So … Continue reading →
This weekend was the premiere of new tvN rom-com Love Next Door (Mom’s Best Friend’s Son) and I went in with exception but also tempered expectations. Starring Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, the drama started with 4.899% and went up to 5.977% in episode 2 so that is a good sign. I watched the first two episodes and … Continue reading →
We are hours away from the premiere of new rom-com K-drama Love Next Door (Mom’s Best Friend’s Son) and I am so ready for it! Leads Jung Hae In and Jung So Min are in the latest edition of Elle Korea in a couple’s pictorial that isn’t anything new when it comes to K-drama OTP pictorials but once again they … Continue reading →
I was already interested in upcoming tvN rom-come Love Next Door (Korean title Mom’s Best Friend’s Son) when it was announced with Jung Hae In as the male lead in his first rom-com. Everything since has been adding on more reasons to be excited for this drama especially with Jung So Min as the female lead. The character posters are … Continue reading →
I like how the first teaser for upcoming tvN drama Love Next Door shows the leads just growing up together in a very lowkey way. Jung Hae In and Jung So Min are coming to the small screen next month on August 17th and we should all be so grateful to have a rom-com on the way especially when there … Continue reading →
Woo hoo, we have a confirmed date people! The currently filming tvN romance drama Love Next Door (Mom’s Best Friend’s Son) has a date with viewers next month on August 17th. The drama starring Jung Hae In and Jung So Min is one of the most anticipated for me since it’s the first time Jung Hae In has done a … Continue reading →
I don’t think this K-drama will arrive by summer time which is a shame because it feels like a warm breezy romance from the synopsis AND I am in desperate need for a heart gripping OTP and romance after finishing Queen of Tears. Currently filming romance drama Love Next Door (Mom’s Friend’s Son) could hit that sweet spot, starring two … Continue reading →
