He is the first actor in short cdramas whom I started to really like. I noticed he is good with facial expressions too plus his smile is pretty, one of the reasons why I dropped other short dramas I come across to was because the actors lack facial expression or either they seem unnatural that they fail to convey emotion in my pov. Hope he takes on regular drama projects soon, he'll def be popular!

I just started watching the tale of love and loyalty today and will def watch deliberations of love right after (I watched the trailer). Tbh, this made me wonder why I never discovered his works before, think he must be underrated? like I've seen dramas like 'flame bride' for example get so much attention though I dropped this as it was not my taste...anyway, tysm for this! appreciate it!

thank you so much! I just started the tale of love and loyalty today!!! I might finish this within a day.

thank you for this! I'll def try them all out!!

I'm not really into short dramas, whenever I try to watch one, I would usually drop instantly at the first few episodes because I either couldn't stand the acting or the storyline is super cringe or fast paced. However, it is a different case this time and I am so glad I gave this a shot. I'm familiar with the FL as I have watched her previous dramas but this is the first time I have seen the ML. All I could say is the acting and plot for this drama is on a different level, it is as interesting as the actual/regular dramas. The male lead is so handsome and I love how the lines and interactions exchanged between the two leads are not so cringey. Like, I could withstand the cliches. I guess this is the first short drama that I would be able to completely finish all the way up to the end of it.

p.s I actually want to watch another short drama of 'Richard Li' but I don't know if it would be as good as this one. So, I'd like to ask for some recommendations....I wanted to watch his other works while I wait for the next latest ep of this hehe

my ult bias, hoping you comeback to acting world with even better drama/movie projects who takes on diverse roles as an actor, can't wait for you to finish your enlistment!!

I am actually starting to lose interest in this drama, it started out good for me during the first few episodes but the storyline just got a lot messier. Was it really necessary to have the ML brother fall for the FL as well?.... and the story pace is getting a lot slower, that I wanted to skip a few scenes. I'll wait and see about the next episode since I am curious about what really happened between Lee Goon and Shin at the bridge before he lost his memories. Although, I might just drop this.

same! I got the same feels as well...I was thinking she'd be the typical k-drama mother like 'here take my money and leave my son alone' hahaha

Telling the truth might be 'easy' for others but not the case for some, like her. In ep 2, there were scenes that clearly showed or hinted how she was raised. She was basically her mother's 'pride and glory', she even took on part time jobs just to buy her mother that golden brooch (indicating how much she wanted to spoil her mom with all the nice stuff because she knew her mom loves it), she worked hard at such young age and was seen as a very dedicated person that she secured a scholarship and job in the US. She was seen as someone 'hardworking and successful' especially in her mother's eyes. Her mother bragged so much about her to everyone, until one day she lost it all, her job and fiancé. She basically grew up carrying her mother's expectations towards her and when faced with such circumstances she feels like a failure, she would rather tell a lie to make the situation that she faced seem better for her family rather than telling them the hurtful truth. It is her defense mechanism. It's even harder knowing how her mother is like. I do think her parents will learn about the truth in further episodes. Also, as someone raised in an asian household, I relate to her character the most, which is why I understood her actions.

Jung Haein is such a natural. Just completed watching two episodes and after seeing his 'comedic side', couldn't help myself but commend him. It is so refreshing to see this new side of him in a drama as i've been used to his serious roles in the past. It made me wish he had taken on this type of roles sooner or please take more of this kind of roles in the future because he is winging it.

I can't believe my standards are about to be raised again, from baek hyunwoo, ryu sunjae and now choi seunghyo....this year really fed us with top-tier and green-flag characters <3

First episode and the chemistry between Jung-Jung couple is already on fire! would definitely recommend a 'must watch' for romcom lovers. I love their bickering and antics so much. Had been looking forward towards these two and as expected of top-tier actors they never disappoint.

8.5/10 for me. I liked the beginning of the story as it got me hooked but as I watched further episodes, right at the middle of the plot, I started to lose interest in it. I have been a fan of xianxia dramas and had watched plenty, though each are different and have a unique charm of their own, this has been a bit of a downer for me, maybe because there were so many scenes where they searched for 'items' after 'items' that it became an endless hunt for that, so it kinda lost the feel for me. The character build up is just so-so. The ML is supposed to be 'God of Chaos' and was expecting him to become even more powerful after he became Yuan Qi but it felt as if his powers remained same as when he was Ah Jin. Although, I get that part of it was because of his selflessness but still. The only build up I liked is the FL as Pheonix Queen and honestly wished Ah Yin could have been Feng Yin sooner. Like I needed more of her scenes. As for the villains of the story, they were clever but dumb at the same time (insert my hate for peacock clan since AOL). The actings of the casts and chemistry between the leads and all four of them together were good but wish the storyline could have been a bit more better.

Exactly, funny how we aren't even in the middle or climax of the drama yet, just right at the beginning where not much colors about the characters are portrayed at full ultimate yet. For me though, he is actually doing pretty well, his goofiness and seriousness is what pulled me to continue watching this plus the evident chemistry between him and his fl.

4 episodes in one day, so far so good...the plot is interesting and fresh plus the funny scenes between both leads are worth the watch, i'm definitely staying until the end to watch how this all unfolds...does any one have an idea how many episodes they will release each day?

I just watched the teaser and am usually not that much of a fan of noona romance tropes, the only one I managed to watch was 'one spring night' which starred Haein-HanJimin. I think I might like this one as well based on the interesting teaser. Also, I am surprised to find out that the FL is not Shin Minah because she kinda resembled her a lot during the teaser with the hairstyle, then I checked the casting here and she was a different person. Anyway, i'm looking forward for this...hopefully this will be better than the previous drama of Moon Sangmin, I dropped that one because the plot got quite boring for me but this looks promising.

Love Catcher S2 and this season are the only seasons I liked among the rest, however, I must say I like this season a bit more. I liked how they didn't fully focus on the whole 'money catcher' and there were more romance in this. The only thing I really disliked about this season is how there were so many one sided love lines that the only couple I felt who was worth watching and had genuine feelings for each other are Taeeun and Sooro. In the very beginning, aside from Taeeun and Sooro ship, I really liked Hyojin and Junghyun as I saw they had chemistry but sadly their attraction towards each other weren't that strong enough, they both really had potential to become a couple, but their feelings are so complicated that they kept going 'back and forth' between two people. After seeing their heartfelt conversation towards the end of the show, expressing how they seemingly both regret being a money catcher, it made me wish that they both chose each other to go to paradise instead because they still had that chance to change their identity and it would have been explosive to see both money catchers change their identity to love catcher because they fell for each other but sadly their feelings were all so complicated. I did like Yongho at first because he seemed like a really nice guy but towards the ending, I disliked how he gave Hyojin false hope only to hurt her at the very end, he could have just firmly stuck with his wall like how Sooro is rather than saying he will open up to others only to say the next that it's only a 2% chance. As for Subum and Sooji, I only see them as brother and sister lol, every time they interact I find their interactions rather quite uncomfortable and cringe to watch rather than sweet, Sooji acts so much like a child but given she is still young but still she is already an adult. I didn't really liked both of them that much. I disliked how territorial/possesive Subum was towards Sooji like he already owned her whilst making me really uncomfortable watching their scenes together. Plus Sooji's constant coldness towards Yongho towards the end after being so sweet to him a day before, the sudden switch up. She contradicted herself when she said she didn't like fast-paced romance and her being so called to Yongho was so uncalled for, she should have communicated properly with the guy rather than treating him in a childish manner during their last party. I honestly wondered what that 'better connection' Yongho saw in Sooji when his better connection was obviously with Hyojin. Then there is Yujeong who did worst than the rest. All in all, Taeeun and Sooro really hard carried this show and I'm sad that they already broke up in real life but their relationship was beautiful. I wish the best for Hyojin, Yongho and Taehyok they deserved better.

Initially watched this because of SS x JJ couple. It's the first love catcher series I have watched and I was skeptical at first if it would be worth my time, I had just finished watching 'My Siblings Romance' and was looking for another show that could help me fill up the void that I felt. After watching this show, the only couple that I had enjoyed watching was SS x JJ, So Young x Yeon woo (pretty cute tgt) and Inyuk x Gabin. As much as I did enjoy watching these couples interact with each other, there were moments where I had to skip certain scenes, especially scenes that include Chanwoo. Given his over the top actions for Gabin, I kind of had a hunch since the beginning that his actions had hidden intentions and weren't 'pure' because of the big contrast between him and Inyuk's way of expressing their interest towards Gabin. I find it funny how none of the cast or host continued to suspect him when he was obviously the most suspicious one among all the boys, like his actions were way over the top and screaming desperate. So, the ending didn't really surprise me. Instead, it frustrated me how they eliminated casts that weren't really that skeptical and let him pass by like that. Among all the boys, I disliked him the most, he was pretty rude towards Inyuk when he needn't go that far. Kinda wished Gabin picked Inyuk at the end instead. Inyuk truly deserved better and I guess this is a lesson learned for Gabin, she needs to stop going after red flags in men. Another thing I disliked about this show is how they solely seemed to have focused on the love triangle that other cast felt like supporting characters. I felt bad for Yeongseo who wasn't even given a chance to have a date, she was left alone twice. It would have been better if the dates were 1:1, the 1:2 felt like a push so that more drama about the love triangle which they mainly focused on would be highlighted even more. The only scene that truly connected me towards this show was SS x JJ scenes despite their little to almost no screen time tgt, they both truly deserve each other and it's amazing how until now they are still dating each other. I loved Sera so much, it was a big move. Anyway, off to watch lc in Bali, maybe it might be a little better than this one.

Started this with no expectations at all as I am on kdrama slump lately, didn't expect to completely be immersed in it upon watching both episodes. So far, so good for me. It has its own charm and scenes about ml life made me cry, I can't wait for him to have a better life he deserves.

How I wish we could fast forward to august 17!!! been on a k-drama slump for a whole month right after LR ended. I couldn't find any other recently released k-drama that is on par with it, they do get my interest but not enough to make me want to continue watching until the end. Love Next Door will definitely get me out of this slump, I am so excited and can't wait!!!!
