"Love Next Door" marks the reunion of director Yoo Je Won and screenwriter Shin Ha Eun - who collaborated on the hit TV series "The Cha-Cha-Cha Dance of the Coast Village" (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha).
The film's story revolves around Bae Seok Ryu ( Jung So Min ) - a woman trying to restart her troubled life, and the son of her mother's friend - Choi Seung Hyo (Jung Hae In) - whom she considers is a dark chapter in life.
On August 5, the producer released a series of photos of female lead Bae Seok Ryu during the prime of her life when everything was going smoothly. She graduated from a prestigious university in the US with excellent scores, joined a global corporation and walked on a perfect path without any interruptions.
According to media reviews, Jung So Min's character initially scored points when she showed confidence and composure. The actress's youthful, modern beauty also has many similarities with Bae Seok Ryu.
Talking more about his role, Jung Hae In's "screen lover" shared: "Bae Seok Ryu is a character who, while running on the path of success assumed by society, begins to feel disillusioned with that life due to certain events and finding your own path.
I also sometimes feel overwhelmed by life and am slowly learning to live at my own pace and in my own way. That's why I couldn't help but sympathize with Seok Ryu and approach this character with a heart that supports her."
Also according to the Korean newspaper, because Jung Hae In and Jung So Min have proven their acting skills in many different works, with "Love Story Next Door" viewers' expectations for the two stars are even higher.
According to Jung Hae In, on set, he had many happy moments and received a lot of positive energy from his co-stars. To him, Jung So Min is a very thoughtful and warm person. Meanwhile, the actress praised Jung Hae In as a bright and cheerful person, making filming more enjoyable.
