Then there is Bae Seok Ryu and Choi Seung Hyo's same-age friend Jung Mo Eum (Kim Ji Eun), and her next-door neighbor, Kang Dan Ho (Yun Ji On).

With Seung Hyo, Seok Ryu, Mo Eum, and the new face, Dan Ho, vibing as buddies in the neighborhood of Hyereung, Love Next Door promises to be a warm, comedic, and light-hearted weekend rom-com.

Jung Hae In makes his debut in the rom-com genre with Love Next Door

Love Next Door tells the story of Bae Seok Ryu (Jung So Min), who, while trying to reboot her life, encounters her mom's friend's son Choi Seung Hyo (Jung Hae In). The duo, being childhood friends, know each other's dark pasts and reunite years later. 

In the K-drama, Jung Hae In takes on the role of Choi Seung Hyo, a perfect man blessed with looks, personality, and skills. He has been living a peaceful life as the head of an architecture firm and a promising young architect, but things change after the return of Bae Seok Ryu, his childhood friend.

The stills show Choi Seung Hyo in his impeccable suit fit and visuals. As an architect steadily building his skills and reputation, he is on a path to success. But architecture wasn't always his dream. He was a former promising swimmer selected for the national team. Curiosity grows about why Choi Seung Hyo gave up his dreams of that time to live a completely different life now.

Jung Hae In also shared his thoughts on doing his first rom-com, saying, "When I take on a new project, there is always a mix of excitement and fear. This time, since it's a romantic comedy, there were definitely many moments when I laughted on set, and I was glad to receive such bright energy."

Love Next Door will premiere on August 17, and stream globally on Netflix.

Jung So Min comes to flaunt her charm in Love Next Door.

Love Next Door tells the story of Bae Seok Ryu (Jung So Min), who, while trying to reboot her life, encounters her mom's friend's son Choi Seung Hyo (Jung Hae In). The duo, being childhood friends, know each other's dark pasts and reunite years later. 

In the K-drama, Jung So Min takes on the role of Bae Seok Ryu, a character who is a little broken on the inside and dreams of starting anew in life. She was on a roll as a product manager of a global corporation but decided to leave everything behind.

Bae Seok Ryu went to study abroad in the US alone, graduated from a prestigious university with excellent grades, and got a job at a global corporation — a perfect life anyone could only dream of. Her eyes, as she takes on an important presentation for the company betray confidence and pride.

However, another still showing Bae Seok Ryu at the airport sparks curiosity. The return of the once-brilliant Bae Seok Ryu with eyes that have lost their sparkle raises questions about what might have happened.

 

d0Wbmg_2f.png

 

Jung So Min shared, "I felt a great deal of empathy with Seok Ryu after reading the script," citing the character as a reason for choosing the role. She described Seok Ryu as "someone who, while following the implicitly defined path to success set by society, feels disillusioned with such a life due to a certain turning point and seeks to find their own way."

Jung So Min related, "I, too, sometimes get overwhelmed by life and am gradually learning how to live it at my own pace and in my own way. That's why I couldn't help but empathize with Seok Ryu, and approached the character with a heart of support and companionship." She added, "I believe viewers will find different points of empathy depending on their own situations and environments. I hope they view Seok Ryu from various perspectives." 

Love Next Door will premiere on August 17, and stream globally on Netflix.
