This is a must see for all Exo-L or any kpop fans! This short drama is basically a live action fan fiction. I bet you anything there was some story that had a very similar plot, or at least Exo coming to live next to their romantic interest.
It is very hard for me to decide which I like better of the two Kpop web dramas that came out this year: Exo Next Door, and Dream Knight. Those two dramas have very different humor aspects to them, and I enjoyed them both very much. I personally believe that all kpop groups now need to produce their own movie or short drama. I think that would be a nice introduction for a lot of new fans.
This drama became so well liked and watched they are even making a movie version of this drama to go to the Cannes Film Festival! Wow, that is one thing I was not expecting when I started to watch this drama. But, enough of all that, on to my review of the quailty of this drama.
This drama for me was very much wrapped up in the emotions of us, the EXO-Ls and parts made us reminsice or even cry. I found that although normal kpop fans will enjoy this, Exo-Ls may have had a difficult time with some parts of the episodes. But, even with that in mind, the plot was cute, and sweet and so was the romance, even if D.O. became the second lead. Sehun, who most of us thought would be a very side character, turned out to have a very awesome role and that was more interesting then the romance or even plot itself.
I do not wish to spoil a whole lot because it is very short and you should watch it. The music was very good, and Baekhyun even sang a song on the ost. The acting was very well done and considering that this was really everyone, but, D.O. and Suho's first role, they did an awesome job.
But, one thing I would like to mention is a line said by D.O. that I think was a mistake. D.O. as everyone knows is the second lead and loses the girl to Chanyeol. So, during the last episode, d.o. is mourning over the fact that he did not get the girl, and he says next time, he will not become friends with a girl he likes (because that lead to him being friendzoned), but, the next line he says, causes fan girls to hit their head on the table in front of them or scream at the drama (like I did). He says,''It would take a miracle for the girl I like to like me back.'' This is a really bad line for D.O. to say. It is like the writer forgot he was a worldwide kpop star and has hundreds of fans, not to mention he sing very beautifully, and in this drama he is the sweetest guy ever.
Also, if you want to watch this for any Exo M members, keep in mind that they only show up in a few episodes and they get very few lines.
Please watch this drama!
