Love Next Door has kicked off to a promising start.
The first episode of the tvN weekend drama aired on August 17th. The show premiered to a national viewership rating of 4.9%, and the second episode recorded 6.0%.
In the first episode, Nam Mi Sook (played by Park Ji Young) and Seo Hye Sook (played by Jang Young Nam) were seen engaging in a heated competition to brag about their exceptional children. Seo Hye Sook’s son Choi Seung Hyo (played by Jung Hae In ) is a renowned architect recognized in the field, while Nam Mi Sook’s daughter Bae Seok Ryu ( Jung So Min ) is a talented professional who graduated from a prestigious university working at a global company. However, Bae Seok Ryu secretly returns to Korea after breaking up with her boyfriend, and she unexpectedly encounters Choi Seung Hyo in her hometown before even meeting her parents.
Before they could even properly greet each other, her parents appeared, putting Seok Ryu in a tight spot. She hid behind a box in front of the building, but secrets never remain hidden for long. Seok Ryu confessed her breakup to Choi Seung Hyo, and her parents overheard the entire conversation. Seok Ryu used Choi Seung Hyo as a shield from her mother’s scolding and nagging, even receiving a whack with a bunch of green onions. Seo Hye Suk stepped in to protect her son, and her husband tried to calm his wife, seemingly easing the tense atmosphere. However, Bae Seok Ryu further escalated the situation by saying, “I even quit my job. I’m unemployed now,” leading to a second outburst and causing her and Choi Seung Hyo to flee together.
He took every hit for her, put every effort to renovate her room,put the stars she really likes on ceiling, console her to lessen her pain, shifted his entire house near her house .. Seunghyo didnt raise the standard in men HE HIMSELF IS STANDARD. #LoveNextDoorEp2 #Lovenextdoor pic.twitter.com/2PCuFgamqb — AiSh TLG 🦋 (@MeeeAisha) August 18, 2024
