Another user wrote, “#LoveNextDoor is literally every drama in 2024 rolled into one. It has a doctor in a slump who quits his job, childhood friends turned lovers in Welcome to Samdalri, a great runner, ML (male lead) wanted to be a swimmer but couldn’t, and maybe the Queen of Tears getting terminally ill.”
#LoveNextDoor It’s literally every drama in 2024 rolled into one. It has the quitting work trope from Dr. Slump, the childhood friends turned lovers trope from Welcome to Samudari, the nice runner ML wanted to be a swimmer but couldn’t trope, and maybe the terminal illness trope from Queen of Tears.

One tweet read, “Just finished watching #LoveNextDoorEp2 and as you’d expect from the poster, this show and #DoctorSlump are literally siblings, especially in the scenes where the female lead talks about burnout and conflict,” while another said, “Falling into a pool, a time capsule, ‘spend the night with me’, changing career paths because ML can’t swim anymore, a couple living across from each other…I don’t know about you but I think this is the makings of one of the best rom-coms I’ve ever seen.”

Falling into a pool, a time capsule, “Spend the night with me”, ML changing course because he can no longer swim, a couple living opposite each other…
I don’t know about you, but I think this is a recipe for one of the most over-the-top romantic comedies I’ve ever seen.#LoveNextDoor #LovelyRunner pic.twitter.com/4IvLUatn0s
