WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Love Next Door.I was not expecting Love Next Door to confirm a popular Bae Seok-ryu (Jung So-min) fan theory while also answering one of the K-drama’s biggest unanswered questions in its latest episode. The new Netflix K-drama from the creators of Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha has been a joy to watch, particularly as it delves into the antics of childhood best friends Bae Seok-ryu and Choi Seung-hyo (Jung Hae-in). However, as a rom-com with a lot of heart, I did not realize that Love Next Door would follow in the footsteps of one of 2024’s best K-dramas and deliver such a dramatic cliffhanger.
