Mom's Friend's Son

I really loved the female protagonist " in because this is my first life". So I was excited to find her in this drama, the male protagonist I am unfamiliar with.

I feel like the plot is in the title, and they are taking such a long time to connect the two characters. Meanwhile, we have to endure the lovable but violent parents. There is something on out of kilter in this romcom. I cannot figure out what it is except that it's taking a very long time to bring the two characters together, I want very much to like this, but is not winning me over.

Finally, the ending episodes have succeeded in winning me over and I feel pleased-that I finished the story and hung in there with the characters. Up until episode seven ,Everything else was confusing and too drawn-out for me.

This series is my saving grace this 2024!

>>>> Eomma chingu adeul allows me to experience a roller coaster ride of emotions, and I couldn't think of any other kdrama that made me feel this way (in this era). I seldom get invested in any drama because I tend to wait for the finale episode to be aired before I binge-watch the entire series, yet in this case I always look forward to the coming of weekends and wait for every single episode to be aired.

Life as it is in my current situation is not full of colors. I'm in a sort of slump, and LND brought me out of that slump. As an adult trying to figure things out, I can definitely relate to Seokryu's struggles and how she's trying to make a fresh start. I empathize with her as she tries to smile despite the chaos that she's feeling within. She is such a strong character, and I love how she remains optimistic despite all the hurdles she's been through, and having Seunghyo in her life is such a wonderful plot twist into it. I may not have that kind of best friend/lover yet knowing that there is someone (aside from my family) who will always be rooting for me in every step of the way, a person who will support and scold me (if needed be) in whatever decision I will be making about life is such a gift that I will forever cherish.

As I immersed myself in this drama and experienced different emotions, I really learned a lot about life and how wonderful it is to dream, to feel, to laugh, to cry, to be angry, to be silly, and how amazing it is to love and be loved.

Love Next Door, you will forever be in my heart.

Love the cast. No cuter couple paired in a drama in recent memory than Jung So Min and Jung Hae In. Can't think of any Hollywood or even K drama pair that could so convincingly play their teenage selves in flashbacks. Impossibly young looking.

The mostly feel good romantic comic story about neighboring kids getting together in their 30s after some failed relationships and career ups ups and downs. Isn't quite enough for 16 extra long episodes. Some unnecessary scenes. The first 8 episodes are a bit slow. But the next 3 things come together and all is explained in the most convincing and realistic way possible. Why did she quit and break up? Quite moving.

The issues are mostly realistic. Her story of going abroad to study and work and it's pitfalls is quite realistic. This writer has a knack of explaining things later which were hard to guess before because too few hints were given. His parents and the secondary couple have their issues that are quite movingly dealt with.

The parents have a big role. Good parts for Park Ji Young and Jang Young Nam as the mothers. The secondary couple EMT and journalist is not interesting enough to be given so much screen time.

One fantasy element is how nice the exes are. Love Seo Ji Hye of CLOY. But what a strange casting as JHI's ex. She is such a mature statuesque goddess and JHI is so boyish. Most unlikely pair. The kid versions have a big role and the little girl is great and familiar to recent K drama watchers.

A couple of unexpected flaws. The soundtrack is not memorable. No hummable tune. Another thing is the the fashion styling isn't great. JHI's clothes are too baggy for him. His hair is a tad too long and it doesn't suit his face. There are too many drinking scenes.

This show may be slow at times but what's wrong with spending more time with everyone's favorite K drama actors and actresses. There is a lot to laugh at and many feel good moments.

Not many shows like this nowadays.

This is in many ways a typical Korean romance, with two attractive actors beset by barriers as they stumble toward their future. The various obstacles serve to provide sufficient impetus to justify most of the 16 episode running time.

There are moments when the drama grasps at something more impactful. The travails of the heroine do carry some emotional weight, struggling as she is with illness and an overly desperate mother.

But at the end of the series much of this impact had dissipated and I was left with a moderately enjoyable romance. If you enjoy such things, as I do, then give it a go.

Best 2024 drama this drama is for people ready to take in mature theme and not immature fiction dramas. This drama and it's each episode gives such amazing lessons. I'm actually so in love with this drama I actually can't tell how much it has taught me things

this show is not typical kdrama with fanfiction writing but it more of a show about adult life, their relationship, their struggles, healing and sadness mostly how they all come of it and heal together from their trauma both main lead chemistry is top tier i can they r one of best kdrama pairing which going to be remember. Love the show.
