Meet the cast of Love Next Door on Netflix

As a seasoned connoisseur of Korean dramas, I must say that Love Next Door has piqued my interest and is already on my weekly watchlist. Having been captivated by Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha and Past Lives, this new series seems like a promising addition to the genre. The premise of old flames reigniting in a heartwarming romcom is always intriguing, especially when executed by talented directors like Yu Je-won and writers such as Shin Ha-eun.


For those who enjoy Korean dramas, get ready for a fresh, romantic series that’s just arrived – Love Next Door promises a delightful dose of heartwarming comedy!

Each week, new installments of the show currently streaming on Netflix are being helmed by director Yu Je-won and penned by writer Shin Ha-eun, known for creating Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.

If you enjoyed the critically-acclaimed film “Past Lives,” there’s a high likelihood that you might find the concept of this series appealing, since themes of former lovers and long-forgotten romances resurface in “Love Next Door.”

The synopsis teases that the series will follow “the story of Bae Seok-ryu (Jung So-min) as she looks to get a fresh start in life after a series of missteps”.

“She encounters Jung Hae-in, a renowned young Korean architect and the son of her mother’s cherished friend, by chance.” (This version aims to make the sentence more natural and easy to read while maintaining the original meaning.)

“Will their shared past, marked by an uncomfortable childhood due to a close friendship between them and their mothers, ignite sparks when they reunite as adults, or will lingering memories from the past create obstacles?”

Curious about the leading actors in the latest K-romance series? Here’s your guide to the talented ensemble of “Love Next Door.”
