On September 9, a topic titled “The ‘Love Next Door’ Scene That Resonates in Every First Daughter with a Younger Sibling” was posted on the Korean forum “theqoo,” garnering considerable attention with over 50,000 views and 500 comments after just a few hours.
The topic mentioned a scene from the latest episode of Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min’s K-drama “Love Next Door,” in which the female lead, Seok-ryu (played by Jung So-min), has a confrontation with her parents.
In particular, after her parents refused to let her pursue her dream of working as a chef, Seok-ryu scolded them for always being too strict with her.
According to her, her parents allowed her younger brother to do what he wanted despite his multiple failures, but they always forced her to be perfect and never let her make mistakes.
The character also confessed that she did her best as her parents were always busy with worries about her brother, before tearfully saying: “Why can’t I do what I want with my life?”
Speaking about this scene, the author of the subject expressed sympathy, saying: “I’m so annoyed and disappointed because it’s so real…”. Other netizens also expressed their agreement, saying that this is a scene that every firstborn of a Korean family can identify with.
this whole scene hit me too close to home, as if the discrimination between you and your siblings hurts, especially if you’re the eldest daughter and you see the youngest daughter get away with everything while you’re the one who suffers the most

Here are some comments from Internet users:
- It’s so real that I don’t feel like I’m reading the lines of a drama.
- It’s hyper-realistic to the point that I’m about to curse
- Wow, it’s exactly the same with my life. My family is like that too
- I totally agree, it’s so frustrating
- Every single firstborn has probably experienced something similar…
- I relate to this scene so much that it annoys me even more
