Love Next Door – TV Series Review


Choi Seung-hyo (played by Jung Hae-in) and Bae Seok-ryu (played by Jung So-min) are a childhood friends. Seung-hyo moved next to Seok-ryu’s house when he was 7 years old after living in France for quite a while with his diplomat mum. Seok-ryu had to teach him to speak Korean, get used to Korean food, and become friends. Choi Seung-hyo and Bae Seok-ryu stayed together through thick and thin until high school but they had to say goodbye when Seok-ryu decided to go to America to study. Seung-hyo, who secretly fell in love with Seok-ryu, was heartbroken.

But one day, out of the blue, Seok-ryu appears before Seung-hyo’s eyes. No one knows that Seok-ryu’s return is because she wants to have a rest after her battle with stomach cancer. She kept this secret and didn’t want her loved ones, her parents, family and friends, feeling sad because of it.

She decided to leave her career in America, her fiancee and even their plan to get married. She is willing to start her life again by pursuing her dream of becoming a chef and opening a restaurant. She keeps this plan secret and knows her parents won’t agree. But Seung-hyo supports her, even offering a kitchen in his office for Seok-ryu to practice her cooking skills. Will Seung-hyo let his heart open to Seok-ryu and confess his love that he’s been hiding from her for 30 years?

Love Next Door is not only about Seung-hyo and Seok-ryu. Love Next Door also portrays the love between Seung-hyo’s mum, Seo Hye-sook (played by Jang Young-nam) and Seok-ryu’s mum, Na Mi-sook (played by Park Ji-young). Both women have been friends supporting each other as well as each other family since moving next door. Mi-sook treats Seung-hyo as her own son, especially when Hye-sook is busy with work as a career woman. On the other hand, Hye-sook always adored Seok-ryu, especially since she doesn’t have a daughter of her own. But because of a misunderstanding, their love drifted apart and their friendship for over 30 years was at a tipping point.

There is also love between Seok-ryu’s best friend, Jeong Mo-eum, with a reporter who moves in next to her house with his daughter. Bromance between Seok-ryu’s dad and Seung-hyo’s dad will give you a lot of laughs.
