Love Next Door is an ongoing K-drama starring Jung Hae In and Jung So Min, as reported by PINKVILLA. The series has already released several episodes, captivating viewers from the beginning.
A preview clip for the upcoming episode has just been released, teasing an unexpected romantic development between the two leads.
On Aug 31, 2024, the preview for Episode 4 of Love Next Door was unveiled. The clip shows Jung So Min mistakenly entering what she believes is her brother Bae Dong Jin’s room and scolding him to wake up.
When he doesn’t respond, she playfully jumps on top of him. To her shock, Jung Hae In emerges from under the blanket instead. She falls back onto the bed, with Jung Hae In landing on her as her brother walks in.
Misinterpreting the scene, her brother quickly calls for their father. In the confusion, Jung Hae In stubs his toe, and the clip ends on this humorous note.
