The drama is highly anticipated as it marks the reunion of Director Yoo Je Won and writer Shin Ha Eun, who previously worked together on the hit drama “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.”

Writer Shin Ha Eun briefly discussed her inspiration for the drama’s plot. She explained, “I wanted to tell a story about youth. I recalled Samuel Ullman’s poem, ‘Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind,’ and expanded it into a story about youth regardless of age. This is a story about the most ordinary yet special people in the world as they love passionately, fight bitterly, and reconcile subtly.”

She continued, “The story centers around Seung Hyo and Seok Ryu, who have known each other since childhood. From the past, when they were forced to become bathhouse buddies by their mothers, to their growth, which they both remember differently, the drama features an epic narrative. I hope viewers enjoy it.”

Director Yoo Je Won emphasized, “Not only Choi Seung Hyo and Bae Seok Ryu but also Jung Mo Eum (Kim Ji Eun), Kang Dan Ho (Yun Ji On), and various other characters around them have their own interesting stories. The drama features a range of warm and endearing stories from romance to relationships between parents, children, and friends.”

He added, “While watching ‘Love Next Door,’ which tells stories about sharing each other’s joys and sorrows, I hope you can have a moment of laughter.”
