Her mother sent her to USA?? Are we watching the same drama?? It was seokryu who herself goes to USA for education and then job.
I didnt really wanted to say but i bet you have never really experienced true love of family. This is how any family would have reacted in same situation. You said they were fine without knowing it?? Like really bruh?? Please talk some sense.
This is just my opinion on the drama (it's mostly negative), and I'm just ranting here because I need somewhere…
Apart from we being their international audience, this show is mainly targetted toward south korea's cable tv channel's weekend audience so its made it in that way to hook local audience and they always need drama to tune into next episode otherwise they lose interest very fast. Apart from this drama, there are atleast 3-4 more dramas competing with each other so writers needed this kind of tracks to engage tv audience. But what matters is how realistically he portrays everything. Thats where you can see he is doing good job.
Can we just remove the Rom-Com' tag?This is not a rom-com', this is a slice of life. This is so misleading. I…
But do you realise there is possibility of drama having multiple genres like romcom (first 5 Eps), Slice of life, Melo (next 5 Eps), healing, romance (last 6 Eps). And they are perfectly balancing everything so far.
Because she was actually at more wrong, do you realise what would have happened if she actually had died during surgery 3yrs ago?? Do you realise how much guilty her family and friends would have felt for whole life?? And not only blaming her but even mother father realised their mistake did you forget that part?? This whole episode was all about accepting your mistakes and trying to be better version of yourself.
Why do people always have something to complain about?? I mean, just enjoy today's episode and leave the next one to the creators. Trust the process. Now, everyone is saying how the romance will feel forced, too fast and so on, but did you forget we still have 6 episodes left, each 90 minutes long?? That’s the equivalent of 9 regular episodes of 60 minutes!! Just leave the development of the romance to the makers, they know what they are doing. Criticism is absolutely necessary but if you start nitpicking every little thing without enjoying what's in today's episode, then trust me, you never liked the drama from the beginning. Its just not for you and instead of forcing yourself, just drop it.
Secondly, to the people complaining about various characters behavior, like how Seunghyo didnt answered her calls in past or how clingy he is, those things happened in the past. They all made mistakes, and now they are trying to be better. Everyone was at fault, to some degree. But now, we are finally seeing character development, which was much needed and that was the whole point of their journey.
What are you even at?? Drama has 16 Eps, most probably from next episode they will start dating from next Ep and they still have 6 Ep for romance so how ita fast?? I mean it doesnt make sense.
I cant explain how beautiful this episode was. It had everything an LND fan could hope for after the last 2-3 stressful episodes. The conclusion of the whole storyline was perfectly executed in the 90 min episode. Definitely the best episode of LND so far.
The reactions of each character to Seokryu’s cancer were absolutely spot on. Everyone reacted exactly as i expected and even those who tried to stay composed, like Moeum were equally hurt inside. Every character’s response was justified. When Seunghyo lashed out at Seokryu for hiding such a big secret from her friends and family, you could really feel how wrong Seokryu was. Then when Seokryu’s parents discussed how she felt neglected because of Dongjin, it made you understand where Seokryu was coming from.
But the beach scene, where Seokryu finally vented her feelings which she kept inside her for last three years, thats when i realized the buildup and wait for this moment were truly worth it. After that, Seokryu started opening up and it felt like she and her family were finally beginning to understand each other.
The final scene with her ex was really heartbreaking. I felt so sad for Hyeonjun, he definitely deserves someone who can fully love him. Its not that Seokryu didnt love him but for some reason, i felt he didnt deserve that kind of ending, especially when i saw him watching Seokryu, her family and friends walking happily down the street.
I love the characters in this drama, they are all very endearing in their own ways. Cheng Miao Miao's mother and her uncle are so funny. Both of them are just like Miao Miao and Yaya but the only difference is that Yaya truly takes after his father, while Miao Miao is a perfect reflection of her mother and uncle, lol.
Yaya is such a precious character, he needs to be protected at all costs so that he can protect Shanqing, lol.
Loving this drama so far!!! The only mistake was they promoted it as rom com instead of slice of life and melodrama.…
No, more than pride, Seokryu's mother didnt want her to go through all the hardships she and her husband faced. Thats why she was forcing her to go back to the USA. Additionally, Seokryu never clearly explained why she quit her job and broke off her engagement so her mother's anger and frustration were justified.
He said those things in the heat of the moment, he never meant them that way. Have you seen how the FL doubted…
Okay, but do you realize that your grandma and Hyeonjun are completely different people with completely different situations? Your grandma wasnt alone, she was at least in her own home country, surrounded by her own people. But what about Hyeonjun?? He and Seokryu were alone in a foreign land, and he had to deal with all the pressure on his own. The situation is completely different. He was managing the finances, working, taking care of her, and still had to look after himself. Just because your grandma handled things without lashing out doesn't mean Hyeonjun has to do the same. Like I said, those words slipped out when Seokryu guilt-tripped him by saying, “Why are you out partying while your fiancée is alone??" Didnt you see how Seokryu tried to guilt trip him first??
Plus, there is a big generational gap between your grandma and Hyeonjun. Hyeonjun is a young guy taking care of his fiancee (they are not even married yet), whereas your grandma was taking care of someone she had spent her whole life with. Both situations are completely different, yet you expect him to act like your grandma did?? Sorry, but thats just not realistic.
to be fair, it's labeld as "romance" and "comedy". I don't blame someone who expects "romance" and "comedy" but…
On studio dragon's website story pretty much tells its healing, slice of life romance & not romcom. And that was official one whereas unofficial websites like MDL & all promoted it as romcom. https://www.studiodragon.net/en/works/portfolio/love-next-door/
That scene with FL and her ex: How to NOT treat a depressed person 101. 🤦♀️I was SHOCKED when he told…
He said those things in the heat of the moment, he never meant them that way. Have you seen how the FL doubted him?? Of course, from the back, his actions looked suspicious but did you see how the FL lashed out at him, saying, Why are you partying when your fiancee is sick and depressed?
Have you noticed how much he gave up for her during those three years?? When she said those words, he couldnt hold back. Anyone would have reacted similarly, even i might have said the same. But it was only momentary, he didnt mean any of it.
I suggest you watch Han Jimin's storyline in Our Blues, around episodes 15-16. You will realize how difficult it is for caregivers to take care of their loved ones in this difficult phase. Its not as easy as you think.
And think about how much he did for her over those three years. On top of that, he was alone, taking care of her in a foreign country, while also managing the finances for both of them.
Ngl but Ep 8 & 9 are actually the best so far. Whenever i used to write about previous episodes, i would always talk about how cute or funny the scenes were, how beautifully everything was coming together, and how natural their chemistry felt, just the usual stuff i do for every other show. But with Ep 8 & 9, i can actually discuss the flaws of the lead characters. Both of them have their own issues and you can even see things from the family's perspective and understand them as well. There is also a lot of room for growth in all of these flawed characters, making them feel very real. Their conflicts feel genuine and relatable.
While i see many people liking the second couple, and i like them too but they are pretty one dimensional. Their story is straightforward, without much conflict. Its the typical "girl likes boy, boy reciprocates" kind of plot, with the boy’s daughter playing cupid. Moeum has already accepted Yeondu so there is not even any tension there, like the usual Moeum isnt fond of children angle. There is not much to discuss about them beyond saying, "Oh im loving them so much."
On the other hand, Seokryu, Seunghyoand even their family have so much to talk about when it comes to their behavior. There is still a lot of growth needed for them to truly understand each other. The writer has done a great job in making these characters feel real and you can understand them to some extent while also seeing things from other characters perspectives.
Even the leads exes were interesting to talk about. They werent the typical toxic exes who cheated or something, the reasons for their breakups were different and completely understandable.
Many people say this drama is a mix of every romance drama of 2024 but i would argue that they actually handled these topics much better than all those other shows combined.
For example, in QOT, the illness was present from the beginning but they never focused on why it happened. In LND however, you can see the causes behind Seokryu's illness: working tirelessly, not eating properly, living alone and experiencing stress. Also How Haein miraculously get better is still beyond my understanding. I will always say it was kind of plot armour.
In Doctor Slump, both leads quit their jobs mostly due to slump but the major reason was that they were set up by villains. In contrast, here you can see Seokryu dealing with post illness stress and how her coworkers comments pushed her into depression. There isnt a single ultimate villain here, unlike Doctor Slump where that guy with glasses was the clear antagonist.
In Welcome to Samdalri, FL also quits her job but i never liked the reasoning. She had evidence in her hands, yet she stayed silent, allowing her ex's new girlfriend to walk all over her. That show also had the typical breakup reason of the ex cheating on her. In the childhood friends to lovers trope, ML remained a virgin the entire time without dating anyone, whereas here Seunghyo had a pretty intense relationship when Seokryu was abroad.
If anyone wants to enjoy this drama peacefully and discuss it on MDL, please block the user named Nahlabee4. He/She is still lingering around, hating on everyone who enjoyed the drama. When i enjoyed part 1 and joined the discussion, he/she was already there, spreading hate. Even now, he/she continues to make everyone’s experience miserable with their useless nonsense.
Question ❓❓1. Who did FL marry after her husband's death?2. Are there erotic scenes in Episode 5,6,7,8?3.…
1. She hasnt married anyone yet, she has chose her next husband and king but that part might unfold in S2. For more info check wiki page of "Queen U of Gogoryeo".
2. There are only 2 nude scenes, not long but length doesnt exceed more than 1 min. Both are very imp to storyline and to know more abt characters.
3. In the end Queen Woo entered in battlefield to war against third prince and og crown prince.

tbvh initial episodes up until episode 6-7 deserved ratings around 8.5 and with episodes 8-9, it should have increased to 8.6-8.7.
