Contains spoilers and speculations for 'Love Next Door'
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: The 'La La Land' of K-dramas is teeming with friendship and romance these days, as Netflix's newest romance drama 'Love Next Door' successfully captures viewers's hearts with its stunning main couple and heartwarming plotline.
Set against the backdrop of childhood friends to lovers, 'Love Next Door' chronicles the relationship of Choi Seung-hyo (Jung Hae-in) and Bae Seok-ryu (Jung So-min) as they navigate their lives into adulthood. At the center of the drama are Seung-hyo, a successful architect, and Seok-ryu, who has just returned after leaving her flourishing job in the United States. As the two childhood friends reconnect, a poignant sense of emotions emerges between them, as they manage the trials of their lives while supporting one another.
What to expect from 'Love Next Door' Episode 6?
The fifth episode of 'Love Next Door' pushes the boundaries as Seok-ryu finally realizes what she wants to accomplish, and with the arrival of a new character, things are surely heating up with subtle drama that hints at more entanglements in the future.
1. Will Bae Seok-ryu be able to follow her dreams?
In the last scene of 'Love Next Door', Seok-ryu finally realizes what she wants to do and it is cooking. We've seen Seok-ryu's struggle with mental health issues, and it's a relief that she's now rebooting her life, but the path to her dream come true moment will be difficult as her parents, particularly her mother Na Mi-sook (Park Ji-young), who wants her daughter to return to her previous life of success, will undoubtedly cause obstacles. It would be interesting to watch how Seok-ryu would overcome this obstacle and eventually begin anew.
2. What secret is Seo Hye-sook hiding?
In the most recent episode of 'Love Next Door', viewers watched Seung-hyo's mother, Seo Hye-sook (Jang Young-nam), pen her wishes on a piece of paper, and that too in French. Now, writing your wishes in a foreign language is something quite weird, but it can be deduced that the lady did it so that nobody could read it. Hye-sook wished that her son, Seung-hyo, would forgive her for whatever occurred in the past. While the details of the particular incident are unclear, they may be linked to Seung-hyo's accident, which caused him to stop swimming.
3. Will Tae-Hui's continual intervention pose issues for Choi Seung-hyo and Bae Seok-ryu?
Now, with Tae-hui's introduction in 'Love Next Door', we can expect things to get spicy, as in the traditional Kdrama land, once an ex fixes his eyes on the protagonist, an array of envy follows, eventually bringing the main couple together, and viewers can expect things to turn out like this in 'Love Next Door' as well. It'll be interesting to observe how Tae-hui's presence brings Seok-ryu and Seung-hyo closer.
