The best part about this is it's a slice of life with the romcom elements , both of the leads get to know themselves…
Netflix calls it: "Charming, Feel-Good, Romantic". From the beginning, the writer has been slowly peeling away the various layers of everyone's story/history and it's working for me.
Definitely not a roller-coaster drama like Queen of Tears.
Episode 6 title is: "Your First". Mild spoiler/preview below.
[Your First] Seunghyo finds a letter in a time capsule by Pomegranate! He dismisses it as a joke, but the relationship between the two becomes awkward.
Pomegranate [Seok-ryu],who enrolled in a cooking school in search of her dream, feels sad about Seung-hyo's indifference.
On the other hand, Mi-sook's radar detects the suspicious behavior of her husband, Geun-sik, anda crisis looms over the Bae family!
I remember read that this drama air earlier than it should be to replace Resident Playbook air time, because of…
Hmm. . .might be. regardles, I'm just happy that Jung So Min is not only back on my screen, but she's in a drama where the script/director/characters are A+. 😊
omg i totally missed your first paragraph because i was going to ask if you were new to kdramas! but then i realized…
I'm fairly new (2.5 years), but I have read old articles as well as new explaining kdrama world. I know the so-called weekenders or daily "soaps" are filming right up to the end, but once I began to watch, things were wrapped up before first episode. Maybe they are trying to "scare" viewers with the "we changed the script" nonsense. No way - happy ending is mandated if they want high ratings, thumbs up on Netflix, etc. 😊😊
Okay, this is a bit of surprise. They are STILL filming. I admit. . I was rather surprised that filming apparently didn't begin until March but did not realize they were still shooting - that wasn't unusual 10 years ago, but pretty rare in recent years.
"The production team plans to finish all filming in early September, and the actors will finish filming sequentially according to their length and schedule."
Well, dang - i will be in Korea late September - too late to possibly accidentally find the final location shoots 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Not that I thought that was possible because I thought the drama finished filming long ago. Happily, I will be able to watch a couple of episodes when they are.
As predicted/previously spoiled, Seung-hyo's ex show up. But. . . . Do Not Cry. This helps fill in 1 or 2 missing gaps (there are too many to count) in their story.

I never watched Hometown CCC or Samdiri(sp?) because most dealt with "city" people returning/transferring to small…
Thanks @meredithc7_ -- " it took the cliches and weaved them into something so beautiful absolutely recommend!! hehe"
Well, based on your statement, I'll put it on my watchlist. I have said several times that I think this show is going to weave the various characters and stories together - especially after that scene with ML's mother and her handsy new boss and unpleasant lunch - shades of Seok-ryu experience.
Since it's the same writer for both dramas, there's a good chance she will weave the same magic again. 😊
I would have to disagree somewhat. It is highly likely that Seok Ryu knew she was doing much more of the work.…
I assume that we will learn more - because I also assume that the fiancee (a Korean/American lawyer) will show up at some point during the negotiation and/or construction of the flagship store for "Grape".
My opinion is the same as before, it's still like Doctor Slump with less plot and less chemistry between the leads…
I enjoyed Dr. Slump - got a bit behind and took a couple of weeks to finish. But, all in all, a good show.
But I am captivated/enchanted by Love Next Door. Partly because I'm here because of Jung So Min (my favoritest of all kdrama actresses), But also the stellar "senior cast:". The emotional tugs w/out descending to maudlin introspection. Whatever it is, I'm hooked to the extent I get up early Saturday and Sunday AM to watch as soon as it's released on Netfkix,
Bonus? - I'll be in Korea while this is still on-air and I cannot wait to watch real time, even if w/Korean subs.
Ratings wise it's doing well in Korea and spectacular on Netflix.
To each his/her own - if you don't like it, time to cut the cord and move on. Cheers. 😊😊
Chemistry is highly subjective so opinions, more often than not, are like a house divided.“Here”, in this…
chemistry is 50% Director (the focus on the hand squeeze, the long-shot of open eyes); 25% music/script/gorgeous cinematography; and 25% how well the actors feel comfortable with each other.
Director/script are intentionally keeping the sexual tension/attraction low-key for now but when the tension escalates, I have no doubt these two mega stars will deliver. 😊
While reading through some of the older comments, I came across one talking about a desire not to have a love…
I DO think there will be some sort of "connection" (perhaps simply similar circumstances) between the clear sexual innuendo of sexual harassment towards Hye-sook (ML's mother) by her new boss - a man who clearly has the position of authority to make or break her career AND whatever abuse Seok-ryu suffered when she worked at Grape/Griep.
I read somewhere that LND's writers (or creators?) are the same as Hometown Cha Cha Cha. So I'm finally giving…
I never watched Hometown CCC or Samdiri(sp?) because most dealt with "city" people returning/transferring to small towns. This one is different - Korean (Seok-ryu) returns to her city home. Perhaps same burnout vibe, but for the same reasons I was never interested in the others (big city ---> small town), this one is clearly focused on a variety of family dynamics - but primarily NEIGHBOR dynamics - older (w/out the proverbial "wise" grandparent) characters as well as adult (millennial).

Maybe Seok-ryu's ex shows up and she grabs ML for a fake smooch? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will be interesting to see how they revise it at the end.
Definitely not a roller-coaster drama like Queen of Tears.

I'll be there for Arin - assuming it's on a legal site. 😊
