The Next Chapter starts unserious and playful. I suppose this was to appeal to their fandom because it did appeal to me.
It however goes from 0 to 100 really fast, leaving many gaps along the way that leaves its viewers with questions and mixed emotions.

It's theme song compares relationships to a beautiful love song whose melody may fade with time and whose lyrics may become unfamiliar with time. It then goes on to say that if the lyrics of the song still have the same meaning, although the melody has changed, then the love song will be played again. Consequently, if the people in the relationship still love each other, despite what they've been through, their relationship will survive.

When the theme of infidelity was introduced, it made the whole series a little too heartbreaking but the moment you realize how connected the theme song is to the series, you have an OMG moment that makes you realize the series is extraordinarily brilliant as its trying to pass across a message that relationships can be hard and heartbreaking, and that feelings and people can change. At this point, the series is no longer about KornXKnock neither is it about ChoXYihwa, nor is it about FarmXBright. At this point, it is now about relationships in general and how hard they can be. For this reason alone, the series is a 10/10 for me.

As for what part of the plot I prefer, I'm torn between KornXKnock and Farm. While I'm very interested in KornXKnock's relationship, I'm deeply drawn to Farm's scheming. I'm as curious to know what Farm is up to as I'm curious to what will happen with KornXKnock.

With Fai, there's the question of what will happen with her. Does she find a job and a bf or does she end up as the heroine who is happy being single and satisfied with just owning a bakery.

As for ChoXYiwha, even though I wasn't initially interested in their relationship, I'm now waiting patiently to see how it all unfolds.

My conclusion is this, The Next Chapter has a deep captivating theme that people in mature relationships can relate to and learn from. It also makes effective use of suspense to keep its viewers coming back for more.

At the end of the day, its storyline is for mature open-minded people who aren't crazed for unrealistic storylines and happy endings. It teleports you from utopia into the real world without apologies. So, if you are feeble minded, this might not be for you.
