‘Love Next Door’: Jung Hae-In and Jung So-Min’s tvN Drama Holds Top Ratings Before Finale Episodes; Kim Jung Hyun’s ‘Iron Family’ Takes the Runner-Up Spot!

With its sweet, slow-burn romance, Love Next Door continues to have viewers in a chokehold as it heads into its final week. For the third straight week, it’s sitting pretty at the number one spot of the most buzzworthy dramas, according to Soompi. Not only that, but its two leads, Jung Hae-In and Jung So-Min, have captured everyone’s hearts—claiming the top two spots on the list of most buzzworthy cast members. It’s a love story that radiates Gen Z vibes—real, raw, and full of emotional depth. Jung Hae-In’s portrayal of Han Ji Hoon is full of soft boy energy, with his quiet charm and sweet, lingering glances. His chemistry with Jung So-Min (Kim Hye Rin) is absolutely electric. Their slow-burning romance feels modern yet nostalgic—like texting a crush at 2 am under a dim bedroom light. On the other hand, Kim Jung-Hyun’s Iron Family has gained a lot of attention, and within less time this K-drama has secured its place in the second spot.

What Sets ‘Love Next Door’ Apart?

The characters’ simplicity, awkwardness and vulnerability are so relatable, especially to Gen Z, who often navigate love in a digital age where emotions are messy and relationships are undefined. This isn’t some grand, cinematic love story with sweeping gestures—it’s more intimate, more personal, and somehow, more meaningful. As the final week approaches, fans are holding their breath, hoping for a perfect ending to a love story that’s been quietly building tension for weeks. Will Ji Hoon and Hye Rin finally confess their feelings? One thing’s for sure: Love Next Door has solidified its place as the romance drama of the year, with a fanbase that will not forget it anytime soon.
