Love next door started with a bang. The first episode was quite powerful and feel - good. But alas, the following episodes didn't add any excitement or weight to the drama. There is no chemistry between the leads and they do seem like good friends. I have been wondering whether I am going to see any spark at all between them. 9th episode over and I was wondering why it's called love next door when there seems to be no sizzling, compelling love; it's very lukewarm. The other guy doesn't seem bad at all and all there past encounters seem romantic. Why would Seok Ryu choose Seung Hyo over Hyun Jun?? It's not clear to me yet. The storyline is not strong, it looks lost. Both the leads are looking fantastic though and all k-drama actors seem to be loosing weight with every new drama. The second leads are cute and all the supporting actors are seasoned. I am going to keep watching of course for the leads and have to see the series through.

5 stars is for the impressive cast and their acting skills. Lee Min Ho is looking charismatic and Kim Go Eun is acting the best ever. All other actors including the baddie Lee Lim are wonderful in their respective roles. The drama is quiet opulent and The Kingdom of Cornea looks very grand and dreamlike. Story is interesting and gripping with new developments with each episode. A likeable and very good drama overall.
