The Fiery Priest 2 achieves personal-best ratings, When the Phone Rings starts strong
Jung Hae In and Jung So Min's reunion brings a storm of chaos.
Love Next Door tells the story of Bae Seok Ryu (Jung So Min), who, while trying to reboot her life, encounters her mom's friend's son Choi Seung Hyo (Jung Hae In). The duo, being childhood friends, know each other's dark pasts and reunite years later.
The preview begins with the story of Choi Seung Hyo and Bae Seok Ryu. As someone once said, "The good daughter, the good son," the two are the pride and joy of their families and objects of envy among their neighbors.
Bae Seok Ryu was riding the wave of success in the United States but makes a surprise return to Korea. Her close friend Jung Mo Eum (Kim Ji Eun) gives her a warm welcome. They carry balloons and wear props, calling Seok Ryu's return a surprise.
However, when Jung Mo Eum suddenly receives an emergency call and has to leave, Bae Seok Ryu grabs her and says, "I'm the one in a crisis," suggesting something unusual is going on.
Choi Seung Hyo is equally surprised by Bae Seok Ryu's unexpected coming. When Bae Seok Ryu hides upon seeing her mother, Na Mi Suk (Park Ji Young), and the "Suk Sisters" in the distance, Choi Seung Hyo jokingly asks, "Did you cause trouble?"
Day turns into night and Bae Seok Ryu is unable to return home. Then, Na Mi Suk's voice is heard from behind. Caught in the middle of a tense standoff between Bae Seok Ryu and her mother, Choi Seung Hyo ends up joining a late-night game of tag.
They run away from Na Mi Suk, and Bae Seok Ryu warns Choi Seung Hyo saying, "I'll kill you if we get caught." Curiosity grows about what led to this chase and the reason behind Bae Seok Ryu's unexpected flight back to Korea.
Love Next Door will premiere on August 17, and stream globally on Netflix. Watch the preview here.
