I just started ep 2 of Love Next Door. I’m watching because I love these actors but I have a feeling it’s another GOTCHA! drama. 1 because both of these actors are more than capable of more than a basic romcom and 2. the rest of the cast—is that the cast you get for a casual romcom? 3. Dramas REALLY like throwing in a bit of murder and drama these days when all I signed up for was some banter and skinship 4. There’s a moment in this ep when MLs mom is listening to her classical music and sipping her tea and the dad is leaving and the score SCREAMED “pay attention!”
Buy they also gave us shirtless pretty men in the first few mins of this ep and I’m shallow af so….here we are.
Well now, I clearly didn’t read the synopsis before starting this so I have no idea what’s afoot but this drama is giving me FMW vibes. But instead of failing to meet their dreams and having to adjust they either gave up on their dreams or this is the combustion when you “make it” but your dream isn’t what you thought?
It also feels like it’s about choices. We’ll see. I’m enjoying the ride but I’m not on tinterhooks looking for spoilers.

No murder but just a mum who likes to scream bloody murder? I hope you enjoy your watch!
