When Love Reunites: Unpacking The Themes In "Love Next Door" Review
I'm yet to be among those who see a series that is still being released episode by episode as I can't bear the suspense and wait that comes with it. I got the info that "Love Next Door" has ended and I finally got to see it last week. This was after many recommendations from different people, it only made sense I saw it when I did.
Just before seeing this series, I had finished seeing a 2016 kdrama series that had too many lapses to enjoy the storyline, that actually influenced how I felt about seeing a very recent series "Love Next Door". From it's storyline to how each episodes ended, it made better sense.
"Love Next Door" is a 16 episode Korean series set in the city of Seoul featuring as the lead cast Jung Hae-in from the popular series "Snowdrop", "Something in the rain" and "D.P" and Jung So-min from the most recent popular series "Alchemy Of Souls 1" and the old "Playful Kiss" series.
I wish I could make every movie lovers see this series as it has more than one lesson for every person even though the genre focus is "Romance, drama and family", it is a must watch and I'll be sharing my review in themes from the series, that is the combos that made it a perfect watch.
The main cast theme - Childhood friends.
The love eyes, the bickering, the hidden feelings and the love fight from this two (lead casts) is a part of the series I'm yet to get over with. Childhood friends reunites and all the embarrassing moments from their childhood resurfaces, you can not hold back from laughing when their scenes play.
There are actions they took in the series that made sense and go close to what happens in reality, the two loving others before realizing they love each other no matter how long it took. Of course, it would have been off to be in love with someone for so long and not telling their feelings.
Mini cast theme - Superpower & paramedic
Talk of loving the main supporting cast just as much as you love the main cast, the role given to Kang Dan-Ho and Jung Mo-eum definitely got viewers in full blushes as we expect their sweet love story to blossom even with factors against it for them. Both met in the superpower/paramedic way lol.
The little girl casting as Kang Dan-ho's daughter made it even more cute to watch. I've seen the character of Kang Dan-Ho in other series and I must mention that he had a better ending to his role in this series than the others, it is a long overdue role for him.
The Lavender & their husbands theme.
It was a whole comedy when these ladies came up with the new name to call their friendship, a really beautiful theme in the series that portrays long years friendship and they still bicker and fight like it's a recent friendship. The parents of the above casts didn't fail in bringing the show to live.
The show off when the children do well, the support they give when the children need them, the courage they use in facing down times, all of that made the watch worth it. They went from struggling communications to better understanding in their families as they share heartwarming and wise words.
It's beautiful that every character had a good closing in the end, paying attention to the story ends. Over all, you're in for a comedy show if you decide to see this series. Everything about the series aside the secret that wasn't necessary to keep, you'll find out eventually when you see it.
The characters were well played, I didn't expect less and they did beyond expectations. I'll give it a rating of 9/10 and recommend it to anyone who is yet to see it and I enjoys dramas about romance, comedy and family. What do you think about the series, if you've seen it?
