It's a failure. Don't try to beautify the story and the perspectives to fit your fantasies. There’s a significant conflict between the viewers' perspective, shaped by the sequence of scenes and storytelling, and the actual story presented through those elements. Even if this were a true story captured in great detail, the show would still be lacking due to its execution and direction.
Consider how poorly the creators handled the chemistry between the leads before episode 9. They then used episode 9 to build up the chemistry between the supporting male lead and the female lead, despite having misled viewers in earlier episodes. To the viewers, any romance between the leads now will seem forced. There's no recovering from this. Misunderstandings Next Door.
The cancer reveal says a lot about the creators of this show.
I'm commenting here just to correct you. I'm a healthcare worker and someone who has experienced having a family…
That's a good argument, but the issue of cancer was not my main point. My point was that the writer frequently uses childhood flashbacks to emphasize something or fill plot holes. Additionally, it's unrealistic to remember all those childhood memories based on my own experiences. The flashbacks seem to serve more for the viewer's perspective rather than as authentic memories. Only significant memories are understandable, but the crush mentioned wasn’t significant, considering that nothing happened over all those years of being close before going to the US.
I don't think he is portrayed to believe that she loves him, he only wishes that she has moved on from her ex.…
That's not what he's portraying. And even if it were, it's only to create an opportunity for himself, not because he knows anything definitive about the second male lead. I don't remember where the SML was so toxic for him to interfere.
Also, I never said cancer affects anything. My point was about how characters seem to remember their childhood vividly despite having gone through significant life experiences. It’s just a detail that feels unrealistic.
The chemistry in a show isn’t just about romance. With good chemistry, you don’t even need a kiss scene to feel drawn in—just being in the same space can be enough. It’s about interactions, actions, and how it’s portrayed in scenes. However, if you have a second male lead who acts like a stalker and a mysterious female lead who entertains him while making the male lead seem like he’s forcing affection, it’s problematic. The male lead is also portrayed as if he believes she loves him, which makes it weird, because nothing so far hints to that.
Then, in the midst of all this, we suddenly get a flashback of the female lead, out of character, claiming she was the first to love him when they were toddlers. It’s amusing how grown-up characters who have been through serious experiences like cancer seem to remember their childhood as if it was just yesterday.
If you think otherwise, be specific about why you disagree. I dislike replies that lack reasoning and are merely meant to provoke arguments. Share your point of view or move on.
This comment section is where we share our opinions, whether people like it or not. It also serves as a valuable source of information for those considering watching the show. I can’t count how many dramas I’ve avoided thanks to the comments.
Honestly, the chemistry between the leads has suffered enough and is not going to recover from the viewers' perspective. The parents are the ones carrying the show. I kept forcing myself to watch for the sake of the leads, but their story is terrible, forced, and directionless.
The flashbacks are inconsistently handled because the writers make up stories to fill plot holes.
I’m confident in saying that K-dramas have nothing to offer these days. You can’t expect anything anymore. I really hate it when my favourite actors are trapped with terrible writers because I wait for months just to get disappointed and then I have to watch it hoping it gets better and have to deal with hate comments, this is just painful.
After compiling this list, it finally becomes clear: this isn't just a bad show, it's a masterpiece of mediocrity. Now it all makes sense why the pseudo-intellectuals are fawning over this dumpster fire. They've found their perfect canvas of confusion, where every flaw is a feature and every misstep is secretly genius. These self-proclaimed deep thinkers are probably writing dissertations on how the plot holes represent the void in modern society.
This is a humble message for those who sent me death threats 🙏🥺. I'm literally trembling while shitting myself. If you're not one of them, just pass.
The Stages of Madness. (According to research)
Sexual liberation Modern prostitution Pornography Homosexuality pedophilia Incest Rape Rape and Murder
And finally, "Let's record a video of us kidnapping a prostitute and rape her"
I hate this pattern. And if you think any of this is normal, then you're in one of the stages. Don't let your sexual desires dictate your morals. There's no going back.
And some people here are so brainwashed that they think having sex is an achievement of some sort, dating is like a trophy: the more body count the better. That's a mentality of sex predators. It's painful to see that they even have no clue that they are predators. You just have to give them an opportunity to show their true colours.
They think that the majority of men aren't dating because they aren't attractive 😭. That says about the mentality of these people. WHO WEARS MAKE UP? WHO'S MORE OBSESSED WITH LOOKS?.
WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE ALWAYS TRYING TO TWIST THE REALITY?
They live in social media bubble. A romantic comedy fantasy. That's probably where they get facts from.
There's nothing cheap in this world than sex with these sexually liberated women: you give them money, you record them, you satisfy your fantasies, you sell the videos, and they are like 20yrs when you're 50yrs old.
Why would a man need to date such cheap products? What's even the point of dating such a girl when you can get it anytime? Why reduce your options? What's worse is that these women know this, and it's okay for them because it's a one of the principle of sexual liberation: to actually fuck around.
This is what we call Modern Prostitution where the randomness variable is decreased and the women feed the illusion of actually having a partner. Say hello to that single mother, and that other savage "mother" fucker.
As a man, I can't lie and hide the fact that I don't fuck around with some prostitutes. One thing you guys should understand is that these psychos are trying to spread the illusion that they are the majority and that this is the new normal. FUCKING NO. I know a lot of women who are actually women. And that's the majority.
I'm actually married to one, take that L into somewhere you prefer. The biggest nightmare for these retards is a modest women with a happy family, a husband and 3 kids. This explains the current war waged against our families on every front, and now in Kdramas. If you're that guy, protect yourself from those prostitutes, protect your kids from those pedophiles and take care of your wife.
I know most triggered people are actually faggots. I never argue with faggots, I always tell them to contemplate on this:
"If your father was a faggot, you wouldn't be here today" - fuckin genius
and it always works unless they are actually practicing pedophiles.
This was a huge success. I'm sharing it again for those new in the comment section.
Don't be triggered and just move on, take it all out in the replies section. It takes time to get the message, but it's worth it.
Let's make Kdramas original again.

Imagine watching a woman whoring for decades, confronting and humiliating boyfriends in public over sexual satisfaction while buying dozens of condoms, and you're the part-timer charging her for those condoms. Now this show is planning a lovely story for you with her. What are they promoting? Is this what we call Feminism?
Seriously, women need to use their brains: you can't act like a man in everything. This is when you're trying to copy even the worst of men for the sake of equality, that what men can do, women can. Seriously what the FL did is even beyond men.
It's not about reality or whether this stuff is new. It's about shoving it in our faces when it adds nothing to the story. If you're a woman defending this, then congratulations, you're a whore.
And don't even get me started on how they're subtly shitting all over marriage while pretending to celebrate it. All other elements of this show are so far good, but this current trend in kdrama is really concerning.

From "The Frog" to "Queen Woo" and now this steaming pile – it's like watching kdramas circle the drain. We're not just losing quality; we're losing the very soul of what made kdramas special.
The fact that these scenes could have been avoided raises the question: why were they added? It makes people like us extremely angry, especially after months of anticipating dramas from our favourite actors.
What sells more: women's nudity or men's nudity? That's a question for women. When both are topless, whose chest is the camera leering at? It's a rigged game, and some women are too thick to see they're being played.
What are they actually trying to make kdramas into? Imagine 10 years ago faggots were like cancer in kdramas, but today they have their own romcoms. Now imagine 10 years to come. Kdramas had their identities where we could watch with families and that's important. If you think kdramas don't have that identity then you're an impostor.
Instead of this race to the bottom, how about fixing the real issues? Like terrible acting to the point where fans are more impressed by the acting and it's all they talk about on a drama because, well, it's a new thing or it's rare, nonsensical plots, and those godawful endings that ruin everything. And don't get me started on those pseudo-intellectual fans trying to find deep meaning in pure trash.
A truly good drama doesn't need all this shock value bullshit. It stands on its own merits. But lately, it feels like we're being served nothing but disappointment on a platter, garnished with a side of moral decay.
It's beyond infuriating. It's a betrayal of everything kdramas used to stand for. And I, for one, have had it up to here with this nonsense. Enough is enough.
Obviously whores and impostors won't like this, but that's the whole point.
What they did was terrible, but the fact that they failed at doing it is even more infuriating. The scenes are awkward and unnecessary.
The Knetz, though, are some of the most ignorant people ever. What's with the obsession over historical accuracy? I wish I could send them back to Goguryeo so that they can actually experience history as fucking eunuchs. A drama is art, and what they do is limit creativity for some unnecessary historical accuracy. When will this end?
Everyone's saying it - this show sucks big time. Don't even think about watching it. It's a total waste. But if you're dumb enough to try it anyway, turn off your brain first. Don't say we didn't warn you.
A skilled cinematographer can create a creepy scene with no real story—just flashy visuals and sound. That’s exactly what this show is: all style, no substance. What really pisses me off is its misleading tone—it builds up mystery and excitement but delivers absolutely nothing. I hope you guys don’t try to read meaning into this mess just to justify it. Anyone who’s watched it knows it’s crap.
Love next Door: ❌
Romance on a Far continent: ☑️
