Love Next Door Declines in Viewership Ratings from Episode 8 - 9 Comparison


Seokryu is all okay and is now heading towards a new chapter of her life with Seung Hyo and her family. It's really goodbye now with Hyeon Jun, the ex boyfriend of Seokryu. It's sad that their relationship did not work out due to that one mistake of Hyeon Jun being insensitive to her condition. But I guess that's huge manifestation already how Hyeon Jun ain't ready to settle with Seokryu who's now forever binded with uncertainties due to past health history with cancer. 

It's never easy dealing or taking care of a sick person, so it's understandable how Hyeon Jun got tired at some point. He may had gone through Seokryu's stomach cancer before, but her going through depression is another. Seokryu might've thought that, if Hyeon Jun cannot accept her now and is having a hard time... what more if the cancer recurred. It's best this way to set him free... even though she obviously still loves him. 

Oh well, it's gonna be tough for Seung Hyo to beat Hyeon Jun being that green flag. How will we view Seung Hyo more than Seok Ryu's bestfriend since childhood? Hyeon Jun is a man while Seung Hyo.... hmmm he needs to work hard. I was thinking that it'll be tough for Seok ryu to choose Seung Hyo as her new lover considering how different Seung Hyo is to Hyeon Jun. But then again I remembered that Seokryu's first love is Seung Hyo so... it won't be that hard, isn't it? Right? Riiiight?! 

Let's talk about now the reactions of the viewers from last week's episode wherein Seokryu was found to have stomach cancer. Episode 8 last week got 6.47% in nationwide viewership rating and in episode 9 it became 4.5% quick. There's a significant decline there, obviously. Hmmm... honestly, I can't blame the viewers getting frustrated with this drama. It was promoted as a romcom so people signed up for it. And now that Love Next Door is following the footsteps of Queen of Tears, serving us an illness of the FL as plot twist, it was a let down for real! Well, QoT was better because as early as episode 2 we knew what is going on but LND is different. Hmmm... 

How about you? Whag do you guys think about Love Next Door? Are you still watching it?
