I enjoyed the episodes I really did, it makes you laugh and makes your day but the whole story well let's say we would all be pleased if there wouldn't be a girl in the middle of their relationship it made the story a bit less and less by episodes but all I can say it still kept my smile on my face
Acting/Cast 9,5
Choi Woo Shik is actually one of my afvorite actors in comedy dramas so I knew that I should expect a lot and well I didn't get disappointed, he was very funny as well with Jang Ki Yong. I could have lowered the point but let's be honest guys compared to most BL their acting was great because like we noticed most BL acting isn't high quality but this is really pro I can say and you can see in bts how hard it was to keep a straight face
Music 10
You might think I rate it too much but it's actually 10 for me. It really fits the comedy moments, like whenever you hear a certain background music you know what you should expect (heads up for 14th episode if I am sure e u e it's gonna crack you up)
Rewatch Value 10
I rewatched it within a week to show it to my best friend and I didn't want her to only watch I even wanted to watch it again myself. To be honest I could watch it again and again this year whenever I need some laugh maybe it's because it's short and ends quickly like you don't even notice and the episode ended :'(

Fun!
If you want to laugh loud and a lot, it’s a must watch for you! One of the funniest K-dramas I've ever seen! The episodes are very short so you will probably watch it all in one go.The story is interesting, actors are passionate. It asks for more intimate scenes. But even without them the story was well said and the time was well spent.
I really recommend The Boy Next Door to everyone :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Lo empece a ver y no pude parar, esta lleno de momentos muy divertidos y la quimica entro los personajes principales muy buena.
Además de eso todos sus malos entendidos son super divertidos, te hace reír desde el primer momento hasta el final.
La comedia esta muy bien manejada al igual que la dinámica entre los personajes principales.
Los efectos especiales no son los mejores pero sin duda tampoco no es lo peor que he visto, son decentes y están bien.
A los escenarios les sacaron todo el provecho posible, haciendo todo más dinámico.
Un kdrama bastante ligero y tierno.

Unchanging Charm: Enjoying this Series for the Second Time
I'm revisiting this series for the second time, and it still hasn't disappointed me in any aspect. It's an absolute riot! 😂 I highly recommend it to everyone. The humor is just as infectious and laughter-inducing as it was when I first watched it. Back in 2017, I wasn't particularly into male-male main casting, even though this series is not explicitly a BL series. However, I could still sense their strong chemistry. Honestly, this series played a significant role in getting me into BL series. It's not surprising that the actors who took on the main roles have now become big names; their performances are truly authentic and impressive.Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
Cried from laughter
The funniest drama/comedy I have seen in years. It's a spoof of every trope in korean rom-coms and BL's, with enemies to friends plot, "love triangle", fireworks, romantic music, a "duet" and so much more!I watched it 3 days ago and have already rewarched, it's just that good.
Choi Woo Sik's comic timing is perfect and you can clearly see that Jang Ki Yong was trying very hard not to laugh a lot of the time.
Can't recommend it highly enough.

Sooooo funny!
Gleefully goes for all the silliest and most obvious tropes of love stories, celebrating all the wackiest jokes and prat falls you’ve seen over the years, all with the awkwardness that comes with two guys who gradually fall for each other despite their best efforts otherwise. I’d rate it higher except for the silliness occasionally falling into pure slapstick mode, which I’m not a huge fan of… but everything else is so on-point in this story that this has quickly found a place in my heart.Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
Questa recensione può contenere spoiler
Story 9.0/10This story is about two awkward neighbors that hate each other. They are forced to move in together after a fire breaks out in Park Kyu Tae's apartment and the two keep getting caught in compromising positions by others. It is such a funny and well done story. The story was done so well and felt so real that I was getting second hand embarrassment and cringing every second.
Acting/Cast 9.0/10
The actors were so cute! Park Kyu Tae and Sung Ji Jae characters were so hilarious together to the point to the point where I have no idea how the actors got through the serious scenes without laughing every five seconds. The actors did such a good job portraying the two awkward neighbors. They portrayed the characters feelings so subtly through things like small shifts in facial expressions that felt real. I loved Kim Min Ah's character too because she brought such a fun perspective and my favorite scenes happened thanks to her like when she walked in on Tae in Jae's lap. I was living through her throughout the entire story.
Music 8.0/10
This drama doesn't really focus on the music much, but the music that is chosen fits the scenes well. All of the music that was chosen would add to the scenes and make them so much funnier. My favorite use of music was in the preview of the shower scene when they used romantic mysterious music.
Re-watch Value 10/10
I've already re-watched this series three times. It's so funny and never gets old to the point that I could re-watch it back to back.
Overall 9.0/10

Whatever you do , DO NOT WATCH THIS SERIES!
If you watch this series and are in bad health, you may have a heart attack - from laughing...If you have a heart attack and live through it, you may try to sue me....
Since I am poor, you won't get anything from me....
That will make BOTH OF US MAD!
Both Park Kyu Tae (Choi Woo Shik) and Sung Gi Jae (Jang Ki Yong) are terrible actors with absolutely no chemistry between them here; therefore, why would you WANT to watch this series anyway?
Kim Min Ah (Jang Hee Ryung) is really, really ugly and contributes absolutely nothing to the main plot, about two guys who everyone 'thinks' are gay! Again, why would you want to watch this series anyway?
The rest of the support cast are also terrible and contribute absolutely nothing to the main story in this series... why would you want to watch this series anyway?
I hate the cinematography, music and most of all the main cast members, since everyone thinks they are gay...
The series takes so long anyway to watch, a whopping 1 hour and half, and a few minutes...which most people, such as you, would never finish anyway...
By the way, the two main male leads are also terrible lip-synchers!
If you do watch this and pee your pants for laughing too hard, don't blame me ' I tried to warn you!
Then again, I may be totally wrong on most of the above...
If I am wrong, sue me then...you still won't get any money from me!
P.S. Choi Woo Shik is also terrible in another series, called Ho-Gu's Love (2015); do not watch it, either!
RE-WATCH VALUE: If I were to re-watch it, I wouldn't tell you!

First of all, the acting and cast. One big point I would like to make is how effortlessly they switched from being really awkward in the first few episodes, to on decent terms in the middle, and good friends around the end. It felt really natural, and the way they could develop from awkward to near best friends in 15 episodes was one of the best points of the drama for me.
I thought they all acted really well, and knew how to make the majority of the scenes light hearted and funny, but could switch seamlessly to a more somber mood when one of the few scenes requiring that mood came up. The 2 male leads had really good chemistry, and it might be just my weird tastes, but I personally really liked the height difference between them. It was somehow endearing. Damn, that sounds weird. The female lead was also talented and pretty, and the 3 of them acted side by side very well. There was also a surprise actor who was refreshing to see. I won't spoil who s/he is, but if you like K-pop, you'll be pleased.
Although most of the music was instrumental and not very memorable, one song that the 2 main leads sing near the end that was meant to be funny but actually struck me as sad was very good.
Since most people might see this drama as your everyday run of the mill student life drama, I doubt many people will watch it again. But just because it doesn't have anything extraordinary about it, doesn't mean it's not extremely enjoyable to watch first time.
One thing I disliked about this drama was the weak love triangle that kind of arose during the end. Although, now that I think about it, it was probably necessary to drive the plot forward and create more drama, but my stone cold heart doesn't really like romantic subplots.
Overall, this drama is a very good one, and very worthy of your time. What's more, Dingo have compiled the 5-6 minute long episodes into one marathon video so if you're looking for something to binge watch late at night, this drama is perfect for you.

After seeing Choi Woo-Sik (Kyutae) in Parasite it was refreshing to see this talented actor in a comedy. Honestly all the actors were so good in this! And it is so funny! There was never a dull moment because the main characters get into hilariously awkward situations. Their musical number was also a highlight and make me chuckle.
If you love over the top comedy and gay ships this drama is for you!?
I really recommend this to anyone! 10/10 would watch again, definitely would be more fun with a friend! :)
My only complaint about it is that it was too short! However, if you are looking for an easy watch you can binge this in a one sitting if you wish-all the episodes add up to only 1hr and 30 minutes.
I’ll leave a link if anyone wants to have a marathon of the whole thing. You’re welcome! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMF7kqfirQE

Stress Reliever
When I first introduced this to my family, they initially looked at me like I was crazy. But eventually, they started laughing like loons at all the hilarious scenarios that take place during the short but sweet run of this series. Both leads played their parts perfectly and you 'd never expect how two dissimilar individuals would be as close ask they would be. I looked forward to every wacky encounter and loved the open ending which gives the audiences a sliver of hope that someday somehow season 2 will follow.Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
