I have watched the final episode. It's good, but I feel the final episode is a bit "empty" and has no "climax", it feels like a normal other episode rather than a conclusive episode.
There are some memorable and heartwarming scenes in the episode, such as when Dan-ho and Yeon-du decide to support Mo-eum's assignment to the South Pole and are willing to wait for her. Also when Choisseung and Seok-ryu walking in the neighbourhood, reminiscing about the old times they spent there as kids.
Nevertheless, overall, "Love Next Door" is still a good and heartwarming drama, highly recommended.
I have completed watching episode 15. I am so happy to see the main couple get blessings from both families.
My worry is now on the second couple, with Mo-eum's plan to be stationed in the South Pole. How about her promise to Yeon-du, to be a good mom to her, and to be always by her side when she's sick, or when things are hard?
The conversation between the two moms at the rooftop brought tears to my eyes.
I understand if some of us here are having difficulties in liking Seok-ryu's mom. Her character is being written that way. For me, I still like her because I understand that everyone is different (be it in KDramas or in real life).
So don't feel too guilty if you find it difficult to like Mi-suk's character. It's okay, it doesn't mean that you are a hater. ðŸ¤ðŸ¤
I am watching episode 15 now. The scene where Mo-eum asks for Yeon-du's permission for her to become her mom, and when Yeon-du says that she would love to and that she has also dreamt about it too, is sweet and heartwarming. :)
She's having new moms in two different universes, both here and in "Suji And Uri". Unfortunately, she didn't manage to get adopted in "Perfect Family". :D
I was mesmerized by his top acting during the interview. I don't know how the actor managed to make it so naturally…
But there's a possibility that in the drama, the character (not the actor) is pretending to have multiple personalities, and that he's actually acting. :D
I read some of the comments and I do share the same opinions on those.
- The overall ending is heartwarming and satisfactory, I agree.
- Some felt that Jintae and Nayoung needed to be punished more. I also agree with that, but I think the current isolation and away from the family is already a good punishment for them, albeit not enough. Some think that Nayoung should die for a more satisfactory conclusion (either died during childbirth or succeeded in jumping off the roof). I think that ending would be too harsh for her since she is actually a victim of how her mom, and to a certain extent, her dad, treated her from when she and Suji were young (always being compared to, doesn't want to lose out mentality, victim mentality, inferiority complex issues).
- Some felt Yun-ja got away scot-free too easily, and I really agree with this very much. She was the one who caused Na-young to be in the current state from the beginning. She was also the one who caused Sun-young and Suji's separation for 25 years. Having her being forgiven easily by SY and SJ, and still becoming part of the big 3 families at the end, baffles me. So in my opinion, I think YJ needs to be punished more compared to JT and NY.
- Jiwoo's addition to the family, and Suji and Uri's decision to adopt her, are heartwarming. However, her character was being added a bit too late so I felt her presence to be a bit too rushed. I agree with some commenters below that I would love to see more scenes of Jiwoo and her family, and the extended family as well (e.g. playing with her aunt Ara who seems to be of the same age, lol).
In conclusion, this is still one of the better Korean daily dramas out there, and I love this drama very much!
Agree that the time spent here at the MDL comment page with you guys is equally heartwarming. :)
I'm still watching Dear Hyeri and The Judge from Hell, as well as Love Next Door (ending this weekend). Catching up on Snow White's Revenge (Scandal) but tbh I don't really like it. I'm putting Beauty and Mr. Romantic and The Brave Yong Su Jeong on hold as well.
Most likely I'll be watching No Gain No Love (already ended) and Gyeongseong Creature season 2 (just released) next. Oh and also Family by Choice when it starts airing next week.

The girl with the scar and holding the balloon, is she Hyeri? Or Eun-ho?

(I'm watching up to the 10th minute mark now) :)
So cute to see Dan-ho very nervous taking the ride and Mo-eum had to reassure him. :)

"The king crab theft at some market"
"Who died there?"
"Three of the ten king crabs"
And Kang Bitna slams the glass in anger.
LOL LOL!

The acting of the guy who killed his wife and kids and has multiple personalities is awesome. What's the actor's name?
