Mom’s Friend’s Son (2024)

seems likes a promising drama!

I just finished episode one and I must say it looks pretty promising. The premise following two childhood friends reunion which some fun things happening along the way. For episode one I think everything was set up well for this series and the cast is doing a wonderful job currently. I don’t have many big complaints for episode one, but the one thing I must say I’m worried about is if it will stay as promising throughout the whole show. Mostly because it’s a light hearted drama and I’ve been finding many rom-coms to get lackluster in the end of it’s running. But I’m going to try to ignore that and keep watching because of cast. So hopefully it doesn’t fall short of anyone’s expectations including my own.

It's a great show, but could be better

I really enjoyed watching this show, Jung Haein and Jung Somin acting got me on a chokehold since the beginning, but the story was slightly meh, I wish we could've seen more of Seokryu traumas to understand the depth of her last relationship and her sickness as a traumatic event, you could interpret her actions through that, but not really understand how much it took a hit on her emotional sometimes, like when she rejected Seunghyo many times because of how her last relationship ended and thinking she would be a burden if she was sick, you could interpret it, but it would be better if they showed it better. Overall it's a great show and I would recommend it to everyone, the cast did an amazing acting, it's what got me going until the end.

Healing and Realistic

To be honest, I expected it to be fun and light all throughout but fortunately it’s not. This drama will show you that life is not always unicorns and rainbows, we have to face pain, storms and struggles in life. The darkness in life can’t be avoided but it will become bearable with the right people around you, it became less of a problem if there’s someone who will carry it with you. And I guess that’s the gist of this drama. You are not alone and there are people who care, love and willing to join you in any phases of life. I have to give it a high rating because of what it made me feel, it really hits me to the core. I hope you will feel the same way like I did and will made you realize something.

Love Next Door: A Story to stay in your heart.

Love Next Door is not a serial; it is an emotion. From the very first episode, it clutches at your heart and never lets go. What starts as a soft and silent saga of love and friendship turns into a heavy, emotional, and heartfelt journey pretty quickly, for which I was not prepared.

Love Next Door did something that few series have: really moved me. There were plenty of times it'd leave me grinning from ear to ear, and others literally crying my eyes out. Every episode felt just about perfectly balanced, complete with its amount of warmth and heartache, to keep me fully engrossed in the lives of the characters.

But, personally, what truly resonated with me in this series was the exploration of love in its various forms: romantic, familial, and friendship. It's not all about romance, per se, but about the connections you make, the choices you have to make within that, and the emotional weight you carry through it all. The authenticity of the storytelling was such that the characters' struggles and triumphs felt so real you couldn't help but get emotionally invested.

It is a shock when Love Next Door touches the heart unexpectedly, and there are moments that brought tears, not because of sadness but because it was just so beautiful. It's one of those shows that stays with you for a long time after it's finished, reminding you of the power of love in all its messy gorgeous glory.

If anything can be guaranteed to swing you with its mood and emotion, leaving you thinking long after it has ended, then Love Next Door is your series. It's not just a show; it's an experience.

Childhood to Adult

There were spots or scenarios where the writers could have been more creative with this version of Friends to Lovers. The major surprise midway with the FL and her previous boyfriend was done well because I would never want my daughter to stay with someone who stayed with me primarily out of guilt or pity even though he seemed to think he loved her. They could have dove into more on why young adults make choices based on their parent's dreams instead of theirs. All characters did well especially the mothers. They are so funny as long-time friends and when they fight you will take sides because it's so believable. The ML and FL are absolutely perfect from the standpoint of chemistry, fit, and how they slowly acknowledge their love for each other that had been there for a long time but avoided or didn't understand their feelings. Love this drama!
