Day 14: Architect So it turns out Jung Hae In's Choi Seung Hyo from #엄마친구아들 #LoveNextDoor is my only answer for this, he even made houses for poor people! Day 7: CEO So I'm changing my CEO answer to Lee Jun Ho's ML in #KingTheLand. A chaebol, but he's still the CEO! #DramaJobChallenge #KDrama

Day 7: CEO I thought of Lee Jun Ho's character from #KingTheLand, however technically he's a chaebol, so this actually goes to Jung Hae In's character in #LoveNextDoor, aka #엄마친구아들. I think he treated his employees quite well and represented a good forward thinking CEO. #DramaJobChallenge #KDrama

Love Next Door
(2024 - Netflix 16 1:20 eps)

A neighborhood friend moved abroad for several years, but then quit her job & returned to Korea. She meets her old friend again & they resume their old bickering habit.

The directing is amazing, frequently one scene cuts to a contrasting one (fighting/loving, sad/happy, rich/poor) or parallel one (between couples, in time) - extremely well done. The acting is stellar. The 2nd couple is sweet & funny & the children are *amazing* actors. The parents' friendships & personal paths are interesting & enrich the story.

Symbolism again plays a big role. The FL's name means pomegranate & she gives the ML a pom tree as a gift. The tree foreshadows events that take place. The ML's name means victory & filial duty which fits his character well. Food plays a big role & I think even the onggi pots we learn about have a deeper meaning.
