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 Min both of whom I like so much this would probably be a drop by now for me. We know the leads are meant to be together and the joy is watching them get together, it’s so simple and if done right so satisfying. Even peeling back why they aren’t together yet after growing up together should be fun, but I find the female lead still so difficult to like. There is a easter egg coming up with K-actress Seo Ji Hye guest starring as Jung Hae In’s ex-girlfriend, and I do love top stars doing these fun fly bys. No matter what kind of character it feels meta and entertaining and I could be more of that here. And in a totally unconfirmed but also rumored cameo appearance, there is a rumor that Kim Soo Hyun may be playing Jung So Min’s asshole ex-fiancee in a guest appearance.
