I thought this would be a Wed-Thu drama, but apparently it will air two episodes every Wednesday?

Kim Soo-hyun always delivers. Excited to see Knock-Off next!

I love both of them and can't wait to see more of them + all four of the mains together.

Both leads and the director will attend the premiere in Toronto. Red carpet plus screening and q&a.

No, ML is gay. They're best friends.

I'm surprised Netflix hasn't secured rights for the first season yet. I would have imagined that would be released on their platform a couple of months ahead of the new season premiering. Still time, I guess.

I was not gonna watch this but the ML looks so good... 🤯

Her kisses with Park Hyung-sik were good in Doctor Slump, so she seems to have learned.

Lol yes, it's like if you don't like kdrama tropes, maybe try jdramas, cdramas or western dramas?

Yeah, no point complaining about ratings after two episodes. The majority of users don't rate a drama until it's finished, so the rating early on is not representative, whether good or bad.

I think some viewers struggle with flawed characters regardless if they're ML or FL. I saw someone saying here yesterday that they don't like FL's attitude and I'm like ... lord in heaven, she lost her job after being ostrasized and saw her fiancé cheat and returned home exhausted and betrayed to her mom beating her and not listening to her. I think she's earned a bit of attitude!

So far this is just what I hoped Doctor Slump would be. The balance between comedy/melo is better here, and they're avoiding the cringy OTT comedy that especially Park Hyungsik was occasionally guilty of. I also find both the lead performances to be stronger here. The setup for the leads' difficulties (Seunghyo's struggling business and Seokryu finding a new passion) also looks like it'll give better payoffs. This is my first time seeing Jung Somin in something, and she's perfect. Melo king Jung Haein I already loved.

Can someone who speaks Korean explain why Seokryu (석류) is pronounced like songyu? At least that’s what it sounds like to me 😅

Very nice start on Netflix placing #4 globally with 365 points on Flixpatrol based on Top 10s worldwide! It made the Top 10 in 70 countries, including the US, the UK, Canada and other major markets.

Rewatching ep 1 before ep 2 is out is rare for me with a new drama. Love Next Door, the power you have.

Scheduled to be released on TVING at the end of October per Naver. Still waiting for international OTT. Source: https://n.news.naver.com/article/028/0002703182

Ep 1 got a tv rating of 4.9% on tvN. Nice start!

Recent dramas in the same tvN slot this year:
Queen of Tears Ep 1 - 5.9%
Midnight Romance in Hagwon Ep 1 - 5.2%
The Auditors Ep 1 - 3.5%

It's hard to tell from first episode rating whether a drama will take off or not. QOT obviously exploded, and Auditors ended up with a higher finale rating than Midnight Romance despite starting lower.

Looks like Dr. Martens, but I don't know the exact model.

The breathing into the plastic bag had me dying 😭

You hope this drama isn't going to be exactly what they showed us/hinted strongly at throughout the first episode? Good luck with that. 🤣

Perfect start. I can already tell this will be my first obsession since QOT. Gonna have to watch weekly to avoid spoilers, although I prefer to save up episodes or binge. Already invested in both couples. 😍
