Love Next Door

Choi Seung Hyo isn’t just any architect—he’s the architect. The kind of guy who designs skyscrapers that make you go, “Wow, that’s a building?” and then promptly forget what you were doing because you’re too busy staring at him. As the head of the prestigious firm Atelier In, Seung Hyo is the golden boy of Korea’s architecture scene. He’s got the looks, the brains, and a personality so charming it could probably power a small city. But here’s the kicker: even perfection has its kryptonite. And for Seung Hyo, that kryptonite comes in the form of one Bae Seok Ryu.

Let’s rewind. When they were four years old, their moms became BFFs, which meant Seung Hyo and Seok Ryu were thrust into a lifetime of forced bonding. Think shared baths at the women’s bathhouse (yes, you read that right) and a childhood full of memories Seung Hyo would really like to erase from his brain. Fast forward to adulthood, and Seung Hyo is living his best life—until, of course, Seok Ryu waltzes back into it.

Now, let’s talk about Bae Seok Ryu. If Seung Hyo is the golden boy, Seok Ryu is the girl who made gold look basic. Growing up, she was the queen of academics, the valedictorian of life, and the kind of person who made everyone else wonder if they were even trying. After graduating from university, she landed a dream job at a top-tier company and crushed it as a project manager. But then, out of nowhere, she quit. Why? Well, that’s the million-won question. Now, she’s unemployed, unbothered (mostly), and about to collide with her past in the form of one very flustered Choi Seung Hyo.

When these two reunite as adults, it’s less of a meet-cute and more of a meet-chaos. Seung Hyo’s polished world is about to get a serious shake-up, and Seok Ryu’s carefree (read: slightly lost) existence is about to get a dose of structure—whether she likes it or not. Together, they’re a whirlwind of bickering, nostalgia, and maybe, just maybe, something deeper.

Get ready for a story that’s equal parts hilarious, heartwarming, and oh-so-relatable. Because let’s be real: who hasn’t had that one person from their past they can’t quite shake? And who hasn’t wanted to strangle them… while also wondering if maybe, just maybe, they’re your soulmate? Buckle up, folks—this is one reunion you won’t want to miss! 🏢💥💘
