Love Next Door Declines in Viewership Ratings from Episode 8 - 9 Comparison
September 18, 2024
Ji Jin Hee's Romance in the House Ended with a 4.2% Viewership Ratings
Romance in the House ended last weekend with a nationwide viewership rating of 4.2%. The family of Byeon Moo Jin and Ae Yeon finally got reconciled after years. Moojin explained his very reason why he disappeared from his family and it's because to catch the culprit behind the scam that ruined his life. He also became rich because of another victim's mom's reward to him after catching the culprit in Thailand. It turned out that this mom also is Moojin's baseball fan. It's really funny how unrealistic this really is but that's just how things are in this drama. Haha!
Moojin and Ae Yeon decided to not live under the same house so that they can enjoy their solitude and go after the things they wanted as a single person. They are still a family but they do not bind themselves within that boundary anymore especially now that their children are now a person of their own too. Moojin is now working as a baseball coach while Ae Yeon is working as a model. Both of them are chasing their dreams from when they were still single. It's never too late for dreams to come true.
Mirae moved out and is happy with her love life with Tae Pyeong. She's very clear with her preference of not getting tied in marriage though. And Tae Pyeong respected that. Hyeon Jae on the other hand is also pursuing whatever it is he wanted with full support from his family.
Overall, I really liked this drama. It's light and fun to watch. A breath of fresh air from other on-going stressful and over dramatic series. Kkk It has beautiful family lessons that each viewers must be reminded. I'll recommend it for sure.

Kim Myung Min and Son Hyun Joo are Repenting for their Sins in "Your Honor" Finale
Finally this drama, Your Honor, has ended. Would I want a season 2 for this? Definitely not! lol Even though the fight against Woo One Group's Gang Heon obviously ain't over yet, I don't think I'd be curious anymore to watch another season for what's about to happen. This season one basically made me watch a one-sided battle in favor of the mob boss. It literally made me watch Song Pan Ho make a fool out of himself the whole time in front of Gang Heon. I felt so disappointed expecting him to make a big plot twist and turn everything in favor of his side, seems like I was too hopeful for such a thing. Pan Ho is such a big shit. Well, he's now aware of his sins. What he did the entire time was not protecting Ho Young. He's basically driving his son towards his tragic end. How stupid of him. He wanted to believe only what he wants, he never consulted Ho Young from the start and now Ho Young couldn't take it anymore and do revenge all on his own and died miserably. Sigh.... I feel bad for Ho Young but his death is the only way for Pan Ho to wake up from his stupidity. I just hate that guy so much. Much more than I hated Gang Heon tbh.
Another person that I feel bad about here is Eun too. She's way too good to belong in a monster family like Gang Heon's. May she rest in peace with Ho Young.

It Turned out that Jung So Min Got a Heavier Reason to Rethink Her Life All Over Again in "Love Next Door" Episode 8
September 9, 2024
Ji Jin Hee and Kim Ji Soo Shared a Kiss After a Very Long Time in "Romance in the House" Episode 10
The former landlord's daughter of the Family Villa came to blame Moojin from the death of her father. She accused Moojin of scamming her dad to invest only to steal his money. However, Ae Yeon, Mi Rae and Hyeon Jae quickly defended Moojin from the serious allegations. In the end, the truth came out when Moo Jin's tax consultant, Oh Jae Gyeol, spoke the truth and everyone in the Family Villa finally got enlightened. This situation finally brought Moojin and his family closer together again. It really was a touching scene especially when Mi Rae stood up for her father. We all know that Mi Rae hated her father for a very long time but lately, she's having a great character development and her hatred towards her father diminished greatly after seeing all efforts of Moojin in making their family happy again especially Ae Yeon. Moojin's sincerity got felt and slowly, everything's getting better.
One of the major mysteries in this dramas has been solved and we only got one more left! In the last 2 episodes, we'll surely be able to find out how Moojin got rich and hopefully it's all legal. But I'm pretty sure that it is considering that Moojin is such a sweetheart despite his manly stance.
Byeon Mirae got herself a love life too. It's just so cute that the loneliness and anger of Mirae slowly faded because of her love life. Seriously, love life can solve several negative emotions. kkk It's proven and comes out very effective! Nam Tae Pyeong got literally close to her too because the CEO made her the mentor of him in the company. It turns out that CEO and Tae Pyeong had an agreement that Tae Pyeong would work in the company for 3 months.

Jang Na Ra and Nam Ji Hyun Strengthen Their Partnership in "Good Partner" Episode 13

Jang Na Ra Faces New Trouble Brought by her Rich Client in "Good Partner" Episode 12
The CEO really thinks his law firm would do so well without their veteran star lawyer, Cha Eun Kyung. Yayks! For 17 years, Cha Eun Kyung represented the law firm and winning hundreds if not thousands of cases and suddenly he wanted her out. After watching this episode 12, I think I already know why CEO is wanting to fire Eun Kyung. The only reason I see is that, she's becoming the face of the law firm and not his son Jung Woo Jin. Basically he felt threatened that the spotlight is not on his son. The CEO is not taking drastic measures to force his son's way in stealing that spotlight on Eun Kyung. And since Woo Jin got unrequited love for Eun Kyung, the CEO wants Eun Kyung out to force Woo Jin to finally take some actions and it's already happening. The only way for Woo Jin to stop the CEO from firing Eun Kyung is to become the company's new CEO. Hmmm... seems like we're gonna face more situations that would trigger us to be mad again just like what happened with Ji Sang and Choi Sa Ra. I honestly thought that they would become the main event, but I was wrong. I guess the story would be a drag to watch if they prolonged it for 17 episodes anyway so I guess they did the right job.
Speaking of doing the right job, them adding a case where people would get frustrated with is a great tactic to make the viewers stay with the whole run of the drama even after the story of Eun Kyung's divorce. Seriously, that divorce plus domestic violence case infuriates me the most. It's the typical rich man abusing his powers to cover up his evil deeds but it's effective as it'll make the viewers invested and carried away for the weak/hopeless character. The actors were so believable that it would make you wanna punch them in the face, tbh. The cast and the production really did an exceptional work for this. I'm loving it.

Jang Na Ra and Ji Seung Hyun Finally Settled Their Case in Good Partner Episode 10
Finally the divorce case between Kim Ji Sang and Cha Eun Kyung is over. Thank goodness Ji Sang listened to Jae Hui. I thought he's gonna drag this divorce much longer because he's still very firm with having Jae Hui's custody at the beginning of this episode despite the investigator telling them that Jae Hui wants to stay with her mom. Well, if he doesn't listen to Jae Hui's plea, I seriously do not know what it is that he's fighting anymore. I mean, he's a despicable man already for cheating in front of his legal daughter, disowning the unborn baby with his mistress and abandoning her in the end so if he doesn't oblige with Jae Hui's wishes then he's basically only feeding his ego for not wanting to lose against his ex-wife all this while. Thank goodness he didn't force himself to Jae Hui, I guess he's still afraid of something and that something is losing Jae Hui totally. I guess he really has a genuine love for her daughter that's why when he found out the truth that Jae Hui knew about his cheating, he finally backed down and obey what Jae Hui wanted. Well, lucky for him, despite losing the custody, Eun Kyung is still selfless and is willing to make Jae Hui stay connected with him to regain her trust. Seriously, Ji Sang, you let your lust do the thinking and left your family for a short time happiness. That's really disgusting of you. Now you have no one by your side and not even has a job. You ended up a despicable perverted man alone. Deserve! kkk
As for Choi Sa Ra... sigh... this is what you get girl, for seducing a married man. I honestly don't pity Sa Ra for the tough situation she went through because of Ji Sang. It's the unborn baby and her mom that made me feel bad about. The baby is now gone and Sa Ra's mom had no idea what stupidity her daughter had been doing, it's gonna be painful for any decent mother to learn that their child's stupidity wrecked someone else's family after all. Tsk Tsk. Sigh... It's a lesson hard learned for for a bitch like Sara. Sigh. Never settle for a married man, you btch! hahaha!
Anyway, the drama ain't over yet with Cha Eun Kyung's life as her boss is suddenly wanting to fire her as the company's renowned lawyer. For what reason?! That, we need to find out in the next episode! Yayks!

Park Ju Hyun Believes Kim Byung Chul and Yoon Se Ah are Going to Harm Her in "Perfect Family" Episodes 5 & 6 Review
In case you don't know and not following my Facebook page, I'm actually watching Perfect Family too. I need a Wed-Thu drama to complete my routine watching Kdrama everyday of the week so I checked this one out and instantly got hooked with it. What made me hooked is that Sun Hui (Park Ju Hyun) got adopted by a successful lawyer and a neuropsychiatric specialist turned full-time housewife, when she was a child. Since then she was loved like she was their own child. They are the perfect family in the eyes of those people around them. However, everything turned sour when Sun Hui meet her childhood friend from the orphanage that she was from. Soo Yeon showed up and everything crumbles down for Sun Hui.
Seriously, Sun Hui shouldn't be feeling guilty about Soo Yeon's unfortunate fate though. It's not like she intentionally burned the house and targeted Soo Yeon. But I guess since Soo Yeon is a psychopath ever since she was a child, she can manipulate/gaslight someone like Sun Hui. What's worst here is that, Sun Hui willingly took the blame when Soo Yeon stabbed Gyeong Ho in his house. If only Sun Hui didn't tell her mom that she killed Gyeong Ho, her parents wouldn't even react suspiciously at all. Actually, Sun Hui's mom did get her belongings from Gyeong Ho's place but there's no evidence that she's the one who burned down the house. Since Sun Hui got guilt-tripped and gaslighted by Soo Yeon, she no longer is thinking straight with things. Reason why she suspected her parents instantly after seeing them act as if nothing happened, like the fire and Gyeong Ho's death.
It's just crazy that Hyun Min, a strange middle aged man, showed up all of a sudden and add up more craze in the story. He makes Sun Hui more confused to the point that she believes that her mom and dad are going to kill her. I really have a bad feeling about him. In this week's episode, he introduced himself as a police officer and that he knows Jin Hyuk for a very long time. However, if he's a police investigating Jin Hyuk for a fire arson from way back and also the prime suspect of their son's murder then, why is he not interacting with the other police officers investigating Gyeong Ho and Soo Yeon's cases? I really find this guy very suspicious especially now that he knows Soo Yeon and Soo Yeon might still be alive and she might be working with him for some revenge towards Sun Hui. This guy on the other hand has other motive that we need to find out just yet. Hmmm... I wonder if Hyun Woo managed to really contact Soo Yeon... waaah! Very exciting! One thing I observed though is that, Sun Hui's adoptive parents really love her. And hopefully the real truth would come out real soon.
Shin Min Ah is a Calculative Person Desperate to Gain Profits in No Gain No Love Episodes 1 and 2
I seriously did not expect I'd needed Shin Min Ah and Kim Young Dae's tandem this much. Obviously the age gap between two is big and yet, I find their pair up quite fascinating. It's the theme of the drama that actually help build up an unfound chemistry in the beginning but thankfully despite the 12 year age gap, Shin Min Ah and Kim Young Dae have chemistry and the theme is building it stronger. Well, I think that Shin Min Ah has the power to match any of his leading men, tbh. It's like it doesn't matter who she's paired up with because she'll do the magic. Kim Young Dae and Han Ji Hyun are The Penthouse babies who are just starting out with the industry while Shin Min Ah and Lee Sang Yi's experience in acting are already prominent. What I'm saying is that, it's inevitable to see gap in skills as well but so far, I think the newbies are doing a great job with their characters. In fact, I'm loving it so much already with just 2 episodes. It's just sad that Lee Sang Yi wasn't given a chance to have Shin Min Ah as a leading lady though, haha! It would've been nice if he gets SMA this time coz we all know he lost her to Kim Seon Ho in Hometown Cha Cha Cha. kkk
The introduction of Son Hae Young (Shin Min Ah) as a little girl in episode 1 struck me to the bones already. lol Okay, you might think it's wrong to be calculative but at times you'd really needed it tbh. hahaha It matters in some situations! And to witness the back story as to why Hae Young grew up as a calculative person in the present time makes really sense to me. She grew up always having someone to share things with, be it material things, food, or attention of her own parents. Her parents, her mother specifically, no matter how kind she is, she should've discussed with Hae Young about her intent in fostering children she found on the streets or anywhere. She should've not just bring home children one day and make Hae Young accept the situation as is. Very wrong move as a parent. This is the reason why I understand Hae Young's feelings when she was a child rebelling as well as how she become eager to gain profits for herself. Her selfishness, in my perspective only, is understandable. Girl just wanted to get what she deserves all the time and I like it. I don't want to stick with just how morally right one situation or belief should be in the eyes of the society, I want to stick with how I feel. It's really hard to execute in reality, tbh, but thanks to this drama I'm supporting Hae Young 100 percent because she's manifesting what I wanted to do. HAHAHA! Minus the fake marriage though!!!! That's a different story!
I get her desperation but to get a fake marriage to gain more profits and privilege in her company is a big NO in reality. I'll let that happen only in dramas. hahaha! I'm seated to witness the love story between a calculative selfish person Hae Young and a living saint Kim Ji Wook (Kim Young Dae).

Jang Na Ra and Yu Na Found Solace in Each Other's Arms in "Good Partner" Episode 9
The real face of Ji Sang became more evident now that Sa Ra ruined all his plans in taking custody of Jae Hui. Ji Sang is now tossing her away like a garbage. What's even more funny and ridiculous now is that Ji Sang had the audacity to ask whether Sa Ra's baby was his own. Imma like, WTF?! After satisfying his sexual desires from her, he's now asking that? He's a huge joke of the century! Anyway, karma is real for Choi Sa Ra. As much as I want to sympathize with her, I just can't.. because I don't feel any for her at all. She asked for it, Sa Ra knew that Ji Sang is a married man when she approached and seduced him. And she didn't even question as to what kind of man he is that he's cheating on his wife for her. She witnessed everything and yet she was happy with him because she thought she's greater than Cha Eun Kyung. Now, it's all clear that.. Sa Ra would never amount to Ji Sang because she is nothing but a woman to use to satisfy his sexual urges. Ewww. talk about disgusting piece of sht. lol Regret is always at the end Sa Ra. And hopefully Ji Sang would face his own karma real soon.
On the other hand, Eun Kyung is still consistent with giving love and attention to her daughter, Jae Hui. Now, she personally went to her school to fetch her and meet her classmates/friends. There, Eun Kyung witnessed how much her daughter is really fond of her. Despite Jae Hui being close to her dad, it did not take away the fact that Jae Hui is a little Eun Kyung and that she loved her mom as much. Eun Kyung had been worried of Jae Hui after she discovered how she kept everything to herself about her Ji Sang's sins. But in the end, they got closer and are starting to open up to each other. They should, right? Because now, they only have each other. I'm really rooting for them to have a close mother and daughter relationship now. The ending scene of this episode 9 really got me crying. They finally apologized to each other for whatever their fault had been and now this is their first step to moving onto a new chapter with only the two of them. Yep, Eun Kyung will definitely get the custody of Jae Hui for sure! Yay!

Jung Hae In and Jung So Min Teams Up for "Love Next Door" | Episodes 1 and 2 Quick Review
Another romcom of the year that will make me cry due to relatable painful scenes. lol First 2 episodes are already out on Netflix and I'm loving every bits of it. The writing is really good, you know, every word the characters are saying really marks to your soul when it give a lesson. The jokes thrown here and there will make you cackle and the painful relatable scenarios would really make you cry! I really like it when the characters are making sense as well as the plot is really on point. No boring fillers. Love Next Door feels like Queen of Tears when it comes to the anticipation from Kdrama fans. I hope it'll continue to be interesting till the very end.
Anyway, Love Next Door's main characters are Choi Seung Hyo (Jung Hae In) and Bae Seok Ryu (Jung So Min) who are childhood friends and will soon step onto the next level as love will bloom between them. Choi Eung Hyo is an architect and he recently just opened his own office, so far, he's been successful in the profession but soon gonna face some work related problems as no new projects are coming into his office. Bae Seok Ryu, on the other hand, is a product manager working in the US. All her life she has been working out which caused her to suffer from burnout and she also called off of an engagement due to her cheating fiancé. She's basically on slump. In the end, she went back home to SK only to be welcomed by her angry mother. Thankfully, after some confrontation, Seok Ryu and her mother reconciled and is now officially staying and resting in their humble home. These two characters are very close despite them bickering non stop since they were children. For sure, they felt a spark of feelings for each other but no one's admitting or talking about it as they're afraid to lose their friendship.
Side characters/side couple is quite interesting too. My most hated character in Serendipity's Embrace is here too. lol Actor Yun Ji On's switch of characters this quick really play with our emotions. He made us hate him at first but loved him the second. kkk Amazing actor for sure! Anyway, as I was saying, the pair up of Kang Dan Ho (Yun Ji On) and Jung Mo Eum (Kim Ji Eun) is quite interesting too because they complement each other. Mo Eum is a strong independent woman while Dan Ho is a weak but kind type of person. They sure have chemistry too! I'm looking forward to them!
Ji Seung Hyun Made it Clear with Han Jae Yi that she isn't his Top Priority In Good Partner Episode 7

Jang Na Ra Finally Made a Move to Make Han Jae Yi Taste Her Real Power in "Good Partner" Episode 6
After being on hiatus for 3 weeks to give way Paris Olympics coverage, SBS Fri-Sat drama resumes with episode 7. Cha Eun Kyung continues to work as a divorce attorney with her junior Han Yu Ri despite her own on-going divorce case with her husband, Kim Ji Sang. Eun Kyung and Ji Sang fights for the custody of their child, Jae Hui. They tried to make an effort to get her on each of their side as the court ordered a personnel to investigate. Ji Sang found a place where Jae Hui and him may possibly live with. At this time, Choi Sa Ra is out of the picture of living together since it may hinder the perspectives of Jae Hui and the investigators about living peacefully at that place with a stranger/mistress. Living with a step mom is absolute hell for sure even if her own mom lacked a lot of things, I believe Jae Hui still loves her. She's mature for her age as a description of her anyway so I feel like she understands what Eun Kyung had been working hard for. On the other hand, Eun Kyung went to buy undergarments for Jae Hui but she has a different preference so she didn't accept it. That night, Eun Kyung left Jae Hui's room defeated because not only her efforts were put to waste but she also hurt the feelings of her daughter after she raised her voice at her feeling like Jae Hui might choose her dad over her.
It's gonna be painful to watch Eun Kyung and Jae Hui go through this court battle. Hopefully Jae Hui would still choose her mother and give her a chance to make it up to her. If ever she'll take the side of Ji Sang, Eun Kyung will be left alone in her life now. But if Jae Hui chose her mother, then both sides have someone by their side because Ji Sang has his thick faced mistress.
Speaking of that thick faced mistress, that btch really thought that she's unstoppable even if she stole the husband of her boss, Eun Kyung. She has the audacity to provoke her too inside her territory? Is she for real?! Ugh. It turns out that Eun Kyung let her by stay in the office to get a taste of her dream of becoming the chief manager before she fires her. That's really sick! I love that! Now, hopefully, Choi Sa Ra would wake up from her delusions and actually feel the power of the one and only Cha Eun Kyung!
