Recently, episode 12 of the Korean drama "Love Next Door" recorded its highest average nationwide rating since its broadcast with 7.3%, according to Nielsen Korea.
Many opinions say that the factor that makes the movie's rating improve is because the love story of the male and female leads has been promoted.
At the beginning of the episode, Seung Hyo (Jung Hae In) and Seok Ryu (Jung So Min) confessed their feelings in a sunflower field, kissed and officially started dating. At the end of the episode, they continued to have a passionate kiss scene that caused a stir.
After episode 12 aired, tvN released a behind-the-scenes video of Jung Hae In and Jung So Min's kiss scene. Although the two actors were joking around happily and professionally behind the scenes, their chemistry still made the audience excited.
The 10-second video of Jung Hae In - Jung So Min's kiss scene re-uploaded by fans has recorded a huge amount of interaction on Twitter. This video reached 10 million views after only 1 day and now after 2 days has surpassed 24.6 million views.
The person who posted the video wrote: "This is why I can't become an actor", implying praise for the professionalism and chemistry of the two actors.
The heat of "Love Next Door" also caused Jung Hae In and Jung So Min to constantly be suspected of dating. When asked by the media about this issue, Jung Hae In responded ambiguously that he would not answer.
On September 24, the two actors went to Indonesia to take couple photos for a magazine. It is suspected that Jung Hae In's mother and younger brother also went along to support the couple.
