... Proves His Versatile Acting Range

Actor Jung Hae-in is receiving praise for his first attempt at a romantic comedy through tvN’s drama Love Next Door.
This project has further expanded his acting spectrum and raised expectations for his performance in the upcoming film Veteran 2.

In Love Next Door, Jung Hae-in plays Choi Seung-hyo, an up-and-coming star in South Korea's architecture scene.
While he is portrayed as a perfect "golden boy," his character shows a different side in front of his childhood friend Bae Seok-ryu (played by Jung So-min), revealing a complex personality.

As of episode 6, Seung-hyo is coming to terms with his feelings for Seok-ryu, realizing that his emotions extend beyond friendship.

Jung Hae-in's nuanced portrayal of this emotional journey has garnered sympathy and engagement from viewers.

Drama critic Kim stated, "Jung Hae-in's acting adds realism and depth to the somewhat cliché setup of loving a childhood friend, making it feel fresh."

He added, "Jung’s subtle and controlled emotional expression effectively conveys inner feelings that are not spoken through dialogue."

Love Next Door marks Jung Hae-in’s first foray into romantic comedy, and it garnered significant attention even before its airing.

Having previously earned recognition for his realistic portrayals of adult romances in dramas like Something in the Rain and One Spring Night, Jung now showcases a brighter, more youthful side in this drama.

Viewers have reacted positively to Jung’s new role.
One fan shared in an online community, "It's refreshing to see Jung Hae-in’s banter with Jung So-min, his comedic timing, and his natural portrayal of everyday moments."

This transformation highlights Jung Hae-in’s impressive range as an actor, proving he can handle traditional romance, genre-based projects, and now romantic comedies.
With every new role, he continues to present different facets of his talent.

A film insider commented, "Jung Hae-in’s addition to the Veteran series brings a fresh dynamic to the franchise, and there’s high anticipation for how he will perform in this role."

Jung Hae-in’s ability to move seamlessly from romantic comedies to action films demonstrates his wide-ranging acting skills.
