On Love Next Door Aug 18, 2024
The first episode itself is mediocre at best. I'm watching it only because of the lead actor, who performed really well in his other 2 series on Netflix, both of which I enjoyed. Those two series were somewhat realistic portrayals, but I'm not entirely sure about this one.
The poster looks cheesy, as does the trailer, and the cinematography and costumes seem too polished to be realistic.

That makes me wonder if the beatings the main character receives from her mother are just standard violence. I already understand from various series over the years that Korean women suffer from ongoing oppression, but the violence shown in the first episode towards a girl who simply didn't want to get married and wasn't even given a chance to explain why is unbearable to me. I would expect that if this were a realistic series, it would be filmed properly, but there's something here trying to be comedic, and it wasn't shot in a funny way. It felt like there was just a desire to create drama, and that probably annoyed me even more than the violence itself.

If I watch older K series, this kind of thing was more common, but it was always filmed in a subtle or humorous way. Maybe that made it easier to accept and handle. It was never just prolonged violence without any humor or realism.

I think the dyed hair (and also earrings) is used as a device to emphasize his personality
Japanese people are not blond!

This is one of the most disappointing series I've watched. It started off promising, but after just a few episodes, everything got stuck and repetitive, which only became more frustrating. For me, it's just tormenting the viewer.

I think it’s a certain style that they try to emulate in manga, and part of the attempt to be Western. To me, it’s a bit irritating to impose this on someone who already looks good as they are, just like Koreans, for example, apply makeup lighter than their skin tone. It annoys me.

Seriously, how old are you! ?He’s not my type, and I don’t think he visually matches the Takara actor, but it wouldn’t matter as much if he acted naturally. I know it frustrates you to hear this because you really like this actor and think he looks great.
Honestly, we all enjoy watching good-looking actors, but these aren’t deep series, so stop pretending you can watch faces that aren’t to your taste. I’m sure you’re not watching it for the plot. So why are you looking down on me?

I was curious so I checked out manga, turn out skin-care drama from episode 2 and some other plot points are faithful…
Now I understand why the series is boring. They basically drained all the substance from the manga. In reality, it’s not a manga with depth or plot; everything revolves around excitement, and they entirely removed that from the adaptation, leaving us with all the other frustrating elements.

A boring and frustrating series that's hard to stop watching. at least until episode 4. Everyone is always so glum, and not a single smile comes from any of them. What kind of couples are really that miserable almost 100% of the time they're together? It seems more like self-torture than a relationship, and certainly a torment for viewers to watch the characters suffer. There's not enough dynamism, not enough actors, and not enough depth to enjoy their misery. It seems that if they made at least one of them smile a bit more, it would be less excruciating.

Two consenting adult men in love? Age is just a trivial detail they breeze past with ease. Take a cue from Elton…
I don't understand why you guys think every film needs to be justified or validated. You’re not contributing anything to viewers who are uncertain or find it difficult to watch. It’s a fictional series, and that's the reason movies exist. Not everything needs to be normal, realistic, or aligned with your moral standards. If someone doesn't like the series, they’re welcome to continue watching other series where there is no age difference.

Hopefully, they would stop dyeing their hair blonde altogether; it always looks bad. He, like everyone else, looks better with his natural hair color.

Oh my gosh!!!! Why does he speak so slow ? By the time he is done speaking finally, an episode is complete 🤣🤣.…
The casting is really not justified. The character is supposed to be shy but not speak so slowly. The actor confuses shyness with stupidity, which is especially frustrating when you know he speaks normally in interviews. This match wasn’t good in my eyes, and it's a shame because the series is cute and the "Takara" actor is exceptionally good-looking.

with annyoing and frustrating you probably mean third party chars getting in between the leads ?
It's a low-budget series; they don't change locations, and there are no side characters with interesting stories. There's not enough plot. You see the man's parents once, and that's it. The rest of the time is spent on the main character's indecision and her partner's denial of his own feelings and hers. They waited for this realization, and in the meantime, uninteresting characters were introduced.
