“Love Next Door” Jung So-min, Rom-Com Queen Sparking Dating Rumors with Jung Hae-in
Episodes 7~8: Strict Parents, But Only Towards Me
Seok-ryu (played by Jung So-min) disapproved of her younger brother Bae Dong-jin (played by Lee Seung-hyub), who asked for money under the guise of investing in himself. When Dong-jin threw his rubber gloves aside after washing dishes, Seok-ryu blamed their mother Na Mi-sook (played by Park Ji-young), "You raised him spoiled, and that's why he's like this." However, Mi-sook defended Dong-jin, "How could I be strict with a kid who was always sick?" Seok-ryu felt hurt that her parents always sided with Dong-jin whenever they argued.
Seok-ryu, who had found a new dream, was caught secretly attending a cooking school. When her parents Mi-sook and Bae Geun-sik (played by Jo Han-chul) reacted harshly, insisting that she couldn’t pursue cooking, Seok-ryu said "This is my true dream, which I found after much struggle", but their response only left her wounded. Seok-ryu’s confrontation about why her parents held her to a different, stricter standard resonated deeply with viewers. Jung So-min portrayed the complex emotions of Seok-ryu, a K-drama eldest daughter forced to sacrifice and make compromises, evoking empathy and understanding for the character’s hardships.
Episodes 9~10: No Secret Lasts Forever
In a sudden episode of stomach pain, Seok-ryu ended up in the emergency room with her ex-fiancé Song Hyeon-jun (played by Han Joon-woo). It was revealed that while Seok-ryu was in the U.S., she had been diagnosed with stomach cancer, underwent surgery and kept it a secret from her family and friends. Jung So-min skillfully conveyed Seok-ryu's loneliness and sadness, as she endured her pain and depression alone, making viewers feel a deep sense of sympathy.
Eventually, Seok-ryu’s parents discovered her cancer surgery history, just as Choi Seung-hyo (played by Jung Hae-in) had. Seok-ryu explained that she kept it a secret to avoid worrying them, but her parents broke down in tears, devastated by the secret. Although Seok-ryu tried to appear brave, she was inwardly afraid of hearing the biopsy results. However, when the doctor confirmed it was only inflammation, she celebrated with her family and friends. The scene where Seok-ryu smiled with genuine relief after her return to Korea left a touching impression on viewers. Jung So-min once again demonstrated her strong acting skills by portraying the depth of her character’s pain and the journey of battling illness alone.
Episodes 11~12: A Long Journey to Find True Love
Seok-ryu and Seung-hyo's growing romantic feelings for each other intrigued viewers. Seok-ryu realized her true feelings after Seung-hyo’s confession and rushed to meet him. The two confirmed their love with a kiss, beginning their secret relationship. Like any typical couple, they bickered and made up, delivering heart-fluttering moments. When Seung-hyo said "I have cheap, low and bad thoughts", Seok-ryu charmingly replied, "I liked adulterated food. It’s okay to have bad thoughts and do bad things." Her girl-crush charisma shined in this moment. The sweet interactions between Seok-ryu and Seung-hyo, childhood friends turned lovers, created a romantic atmosphere, drawing viewers deeper into the story.
Jung So-min continues to show her prowess as a "rom-com queen", demonstrating great chemistry not only with Jung Hae-in but also with Han Joon-woo, earning her the title of "chemistry generator".
