Weather caster Pyo Na Ri (Gong Hyo Jin) and news anchor Lee Hwa Shin (Jo Jung Suk) are long-time colleagues at SBC broadcasting station. Pyo Na Ri has had a crush on Lee Hwa Shin three years ago but things change when she meets the perfect man Go Jung Won (Go Kyung Pyo), a chaebol heir and close friend of Lee Hwa Shin.

Meanwhile, Sung Sook (Lee Mi Sook) and Ja Young (Park Ji Young), who are rivals in both love and career, gets entangled with Kim Rak (Lee Sung Jae), a restaurant owner and landlord of the building where Pyo Na Ri lives.

The most bizarre drama I ever encountered. From the description alone you can’t possibly expect how this drama unfolds. I liked it though, despite it’s bizarreness, it portrays some problems in society that’s not being mentioned. This drama might be a way to direct some awareness into the situation. I loved all the characters, except one. I’m not a big feminist or anything, but the way Pyo Na Ri was portrayed, was really pathetic for us woman, I really didn’t enjoy that part, more likely on the verge of uncomfortable. However, I more than enjoyed the fight between the two male leads and their childish jealousy. This drama made me laugh so much I felt like I was watching a variety. All in all, a really weird, different, all-around hilarious, and thought provoking drama.

EXO Next Door Review

Title: Exo Next Door
Genre: Romance, Music, Comedy,Webdrama
Episode: 16
Broadcast Period: Apr-2015 to May-2015
Cast: Moon Ga Young, Park Chan Yeol, Do Kyung Soo, Byun Baek Hyun, Oh Sehun, Kim Jong In, Chen,

Ji Yeon Hee (Moon Ga Young) is a 20-something year old girl, who hasn't yet dated because she blushes terribly and is completely paralyzed when she's near a good looking boy. One day, four members of EXO (A univers-well-known idol group) are trying to keep a low profile, and move into the house of one of the member's grandfather. However, it turns out that EXO members house is right next door of Yeon Hee's house.

Hmm.. I can’t decide whether this was a success or  failure for me. In between maybe? It’s just that it was sooo silly and ridiculous… I mean, none of the members can act properly (I hope I don’t attract anti-fans), BESIDE D.O!! I mean wow, he got his own show going on in this one, I love him from other dramas, so I’m quite happy that he was in this one too. Plus, after all it’s a webdrama, and it’s not supposed to be so serious, so maybe I’m just used to serious dramas. But still.. it was silly cute. I got hooked, however it took me awhile to watch, but I’m happy that I’m finally over with it. The storyline was nice, while watching I rather hoped they had made it into a real drama. I'm not a fan of EXO, but that was really funny and nice to watch. The main couple irritated me sometimes, but they were adorable. I guess I want to watch more of them ^^.
