The use of Mr. Yang could have been typical and boring, but again, the show made this character fun with his little quips and snark. The fact that he insulted his boss to his face was so funny and unexpected.

Yes I love the bed shopping scene - and the dialogue is brilliantly written.
"You are the king of your domain. And in this kingdom, you're the only subject."
"My kingdom has just been taken over by a neighboring country." 🤣🧡

I love the way they petty-bicker and make-up too!

Again, brilliant situational comedy & great lines - the whole exchange with the disgruntled female co-worker who quarreled with her hubby (aka "Not on My Team" phone contact name) is priceless comic scripting!

CUE TO: apology letter ("I promise never to kiss Song Hae-Yeong ever again!")

Love Next Door: Episodes 9-10

Seung-hyo told Seok-ryu that he likes her. But instead of being a man about it he acts like a little wimp. It is a common trope in these terrible Korean dramas that the guy confesses (in reality men, the first, last and only time in your life you ever tell a woman that you love her is at your wedding) then has to wait for the girl to decide. But, guys, if you ever tell a woman you like her and she does not immediately reciprocate then you need to give up on her. You want a woman who likes you back. You do not want a woman who is not sure.

There seems to be two set of subs for Prime. When I watch on my laptop I get a different sub compared to when I watch on my TV bus AppleTV!! I have seen different subs for certain scenes. This has been weird. So I watch it twice at a minimum.
But yeah, one of those dramas where knowing the language would have been great.

XD I like avocado, but only in certain ways AND it has to be seasoned. I like it in savory dishes like avocado toast! Yum, just need salt and pepper. And guacamole, y'all? 😋

Sooo many PPLs in this show... I kinda cringe FF through them, but at least they're funnily done. But they sure are selling the heck out of the Didier Dubois jewellery... the rings are practically main characters for me. And though they aren't expensive like other ring placements I've seen, at least they aren't ugly like some others. (I don't remember, maybe it was King The Land? Even though it was Bulgari or something the ring was like the ugliest ever!) They even have a NGNL section on their website (yeah I googled)

The Around the World box scene was so funny! The waving flags and eyes!! Poor Ji Wook has stiff competition before he's even begun ;) Also, I keep rewatching and squeeing at new things too!

I wish Prime subtitles were better though, apart from the censorship... I feel like I'm losing a lot of the puns/ conversations because of un-nuanced translation. Like the scene where he's confessing to her mum, Prime said "I've fallen for her", but other viewers seem to have got "I'm head over over heels for her" which is a SO much more wow thing to say... I'm sure there are loads more instances that we miss out on.

Thank you for the recap @unit! Some hyped shows this year were either disappointing or frustrating while this one stayed true to its genre and was a pleasure to watch.
Glad this ended with a happy note and was close to reality.

I don't know which streaming service you're referring to, but Amazon Prime Video has two sets of English subtitles -- one for closed captions from the dubbed English version.

For the breakfast scene (where I empathized with Ji-wook so much for continually being interrupted when he needed to relieve himself), which subs did you see?

Hui-sung: This is just poop and diarrhea arguing over which is worse.
Hae-young: Who's the poop?
Ji-wook: She's the diarrhea, right?

Hui-sung: You're both being little shits.
Hae-young: Who's a little shit?
Ji-wook: She's full of shit.

Only one is correct per what they actually say in Korean.
