Jung Hae In And Jung So Min Exchange Tense Glances In 'Love Next Door'

tvN's " Love Next Door " is heating up with its latest sneak peek, revealing a palpable tension between the lead characters, played by Jung Hae In and Jung So Min . This romantic comedy, crafted by the team behind the beloved "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha," follows Bae Seok Ryu ( Jung So Min ) as she attempts to piece together her troubled life. Her childhood acquaintance, Choi Seung Hyo ( Jung Hae In ), a man she’d rather forget, suddenly reappears, stirring up emotions she thought were long buried.

Spoilers Ahead!

In the previous episode, Choi Seung Hyo and Bae Seok Ryu jokingly set an “expiration date” for her to respond to his confession. But what started playfully took a serious turn as it was revealed that Bae Seok Ryu had secretly battled stomach cancer in the U.S. three years earlier.

Newly released stills from the upcoming episodes show the duo at their childhood playground, where they once made fond memories. However, instead of warmth, the air between them is thick with discomfort. In another scene, they sit together on the swings, silent but burdened by unspoken truths.

Fans can expect a whirlwind of revelations in the upcoming episodes 9 and 10. The producers have teased that all of Bae Seok Ryu’s secrets—including her reasons for cutting off her engagement and quitting her job—will finally come to light. The anticipation is building as viewers await how Choi Seung Hyo will react to the bombshells and what impact they’ll have on their relationship.

Mark your calendars—episode 9 of “Love Next Door” airs on September 14 at 9:20 p.m. KST.
