EXO Next Door (우리 옆집에 EXO가 산다) Episode 2 Recap

Previously on EXO Next Door:
The main character screams at her family and spits some water on a K-pop star.

We open on the dark street, where the Fab Four are going into their house. A caption helpfully informs us that this is the night before. The house is filled with boxes and other stuff, and it's obvious that no one has lived there in a while. However, it's a REALLY nice house. It has that "modern" look that was popular in the 70s/80s. The guys take off their masks, properly awed by the grandeur house. They go into a nice looking upstairs room and mutter about how pretty it looks. Chanyeol cuts them off, stating bluntly that it's his room. Well, we know who the leader is when Suho's not around, don't we? Or maybe Fake Chanyeol is just being a brat.

At the next room, Chanyeol cuts off Baekhyun, saying it's D.O.'s. They ooh and aah over the livingroom next, which has a motley assortment of furniture and decorations (including one of those little basketball chute things that you find at Putt Putt or Chuck E Cheese). However, the part of the house that I find most hilarious is the wall decoration that says "Blah blah blah." Literally. That's what it says. I might understand this if this had been the guys' house for a while (you know how young people are about decorating), but as we will find out very soon, this was Chanyeol's grandpa's house. So why would an old Korean dude have a wall decoration that said "Blah blah blah"?

Anyway, Sehun wonders how it could be Chanyeol's grandpa's house because it looks too new. Chanyeol says it was, but his parents fixed it up, and they might have gone a little "overboard." Oh, so his parents were the ones that picked out that hideous decoration? Chanyeol smiles as he reminisces, and for a second I don't utterly hate him. D.O. says that the neighboorhood is quiet, so it's perfect for them.

Sehun complains that there's no beds, and the guys laugh at him and tell him to "hang in there"; the beds will come tomorrow. Baekhyun calls him "little one", which is absolutely adorable (considering that Sehun is way taller and--from what little I've seen--more mature than Baekhyun).

We cut to the three guys sleeping in various positions. Baekhyun is on a couch curled up, Sehun is on the floor, bundled up in a sleeping bag like the most adorable little burrito ever, and D.O. is flat on a couch wearing headphones. I wish I could sleep like that. 

So chic.

Chanyeol lovingly strokes a rocking chair (oh yeah, he's the only one awake), and tells Grandpa he's baaack!

Cut to Chanyeol and D.O. bringing in boxes. In broad daylight. With no masks. Ooh, bad idea, dudes. I just can't get over how short and cute D.O. looks in this scene. Upon entering the livingroom, Chanyeol wonders if Sehun and Baekhyun are dead (lol, I get it, cuz they're fast asleep) and I'm very sad, because I know he'll go from nice funny guy to massive a-hole in a few minutes. And okay, she DID spit water in his face, so I guess he does have a reason to be kind of rude, but...ugh, I'm so confused.

Chanyeol throws a pillow at the layabouts, who groan and stretch accordingly. Sehun's hair is sticking up wildly. Suddenly, they all smell something delicious, and follow the scent to the kitchen, wondering if the managers brought them something. As they go past, you can see the extreme height difference between D.O. and Chanyeol, and it's hilarious. Google says D.O. is 5'8" and Chanyeol is 6'1". Ehh...okay. (But seriously, D.O. being about my height...that makes him even cuter and I want to squeeze him so bad.)



D.O. sees who it is first (yep, it's Yeonhee), and quickly backs up, bumping into the other guys. They then all peer around the corner, Three Stooges-style. 

"Hello...hello...hello..."

As per the last episode, Yeonhee eats a rice cake, chokes on it, and opens up the fridge to get some water. While the open fridge door is blocking her view of them (really, she should have seen them by now), Chanyeol shoves the guys out of the way and strides into the kitchen. The others hesitantly follow.

Yeonhee turns and sees them. The light shining in from the window to their left makes them look angelic or something. Anyway, Chanyeol asks who she is (again) and she spits water on him (again) in slo-mo (again). Baekhyun cringes and bites his fist (again), D.O. looks slightly concerned (again), and Sehun laughs (again).

Back in normal motion, all three of the guys start laughing at Chanyeol, totally ignoring Yeonhee. Yeonhee starts blushing and freaking that she just spat on EXO. Baekhyun says that Chanyeol's skin looks nice and shiny [lol], and Yeonhee tries to stammer her way through an explanation of what the heck she's doing there.

The rest of the guys think Chanyeol's predicament is absolutely hilarious, and try to help him, but they don't have any napkins. Lol. Wonder if they're out of toilet paper too. They keep ignoring Yeonhee. Nearly dying of blushing and cringe, she slips out and runs like the Flash into her house.

Chanyeol notices her leaving and yells at her to stop, but she's already gone. Baekhyun, D.O., and Sehun all gaze after Yeonhee, and Baekhyun comments on how odd she is. Okay, I don't know where he comes from, but I think spitting water on someone and then running away is a little more than odd. D.O. looks utterly captivated by her strangeness. [lol, poor baby]

Interestingly, pictures of EXO have appeared throughout the house overnight. None of the characters ever seem to notice this. Maybe their managers came overnight and decided to mess with them a little. Or maybe Chanyeol had insomnia and was feeling extra egotistical the night before.

Yeonhee dashes into her livingroom (of her house), where she shakes and squeezes the living daylights out of her brother. She stammer-asks him if he knows who moved in next door. Confused, he tells her that the "ugly guys" did. Yeonhee starts crying and Flash-runs up to her room.

She is wrapped tightly in a comforter, rocking back and forth, and saying that her face might explode. Ooh, that would be cool. Blushing so hard your head exploded like an overfilled water ballon. Blood and brains all over the ceiling...it would almost be like being stabbed to death with a spear of frozen plane pee. 

Yeonhee grabs her phone and calls her friend, Gaeun. Yeonhee asks Gaeun if she's busy, to which Gaeun replies in the affirmative. Yeonhee tells Gaeun that EXO lives next door to her. Like any rational person, Gaeun snorts and says that Yeonhee's lost it. Yeonhee screeches that it's totes true; her new neighbors ARE EXO. Gaeun hangs up and calls a taxi. Suddenly coming up with a brilliant idea, Yeonhee digs under her bed and gets out a pair of tiny pink binoculars, which she then uses to spy on EXO from her window seat. Just admit it, we'd all do this. 

For some reason, night has fallen in the 3 seconds it took Yeonhee to get the binoculars. She justifies her voyeurism by saying "A temple of gods deserves a tourist like me!" [snerk] Oookay. Gaeun suddenly bursts into the room, and Yeonhee hides the binoculars behind her back. Holding out a pair of delicate white and gold opera glasses, Gaeun says that they are a gift for her Gaeun of ten years. Wow, ten years? Impressive. *golf clap*

Yeonhee's like "Nuh uh, I can't do that!" Gaeun wonders what wonderful things Yeonhee could have possibly done to end up next door to EXO. Because she's the lead character in a K-drama, maybe? Once again, Gaeun takes the words right out of my mouth and tells Yeonhee not to waste this opportunity. She holds out the opera glasses once again, saying that Yeonhee has to get used to their faces before she'll be able to talk to them without blushing. Wait, if she has to get used to their faces, couldn't she look at pictures of them online? Eh, whatevs. I'd totally watch them anyway. 

Yeonhee's like "Yaah guurl, me too!" and pulls out her binoculars. Gaeun wonders what meeting EXO was like. Wait, what? When did Yeonhee ever say she actually met them? Yeonhee gives her a non-answer, and they both turn to the window and and stare at EXO. Nice of EXO to leave their lights on and their curtains open. I mean, it's not like they're trying to keep a low profile or anything.

Cut to Gaeun and Yeonhee waxing eloquent(ly?) about EXO's looks. Well, to be exact, Sehun, D.O., and Baekhyun's looks. Apparently, they have "profile(s) so sharp [they] could cut paper" [lol], small noses, "unrealistic" face sizes, "slender fingers" (ooh, Slenderman!), and "perfect porportions" (wut, so they have hourglass figures?). 

I KNOW, RIGHT?? (For once I'm not being sarcastic.) They really DO seem perfect, they're so attractive, though makeup, the right clothes, the right hair, plastic surgery, and all dat training can go a long way. Yeonhee and Gaeun come to a consensus: EXO are alien masterpieces. Well, no argument there. In fact, you could say that about a lot of K-pop stars. Like Hongbin, for example. 

Those ears tho.

Or Minhyun. HOW ARE THEY SO PRETTY?!

Yeonhee likens their eyes to black holes [LOLOL]. (This comparison is especially funny if you listen to the VIXX songs that compare...*ahem*...other things to black holes.) Anyway, Yeonhee immediately flashes back to the memory of her spitting water in Chanyeol's face. Ah, that's one shot I'll never get sick of. She slides off the window seat onto the floor, crying and complaining that she effed up her one chance with EXO.

Cut to a pile of snacks on Yeonhee's floor. Both girls have resumed their voyeuring reconaissance. However, they're not being very stealthy with their spying, because the light is on, and they are loudly eating chips. Even though Yeonhee regrets her disastrous first meeting with them, she purposes to "be on them 24/7." Gaeun, not seeming to hear her, says "Too bad I can't see all of them." Ooh la la.

Suddenly, the door opens, and Mama enters. Quickly, the girls hide the binoculars, though they still look incredibly guilty. Mama calls the place a "pigsty", and I have to agree with her. Like, how can you stand to have dirty clothes, shoes, books, bags, papers, wires, writing utensils, other miscellaneous crap, and *shudder* FOOD on your floor?

She walks up to Gaeun, stares accusingly at her, and demands to know why she's still there. Gaeun's parents must be so worried! Uh...wut? Isn't Gaeun like 23? If she's anywhere Yeonhee's age, she must be partially on her own--old enough to stay out late, at least. And she has a phone, why can't she call her parents and tell them where she is? Regardless of this, Gaeun guiltily takes her leave, leaving Yeonhee to face Mama's wrath. Yeonhee screeches (yes, screeches) at Mama that she'll clean her room, if Mama will just GET OUT! Noticing that Yeonhee's face is flourescent pink again, Mama demands to know what her daughter did. Yeonhee's like "Pfft, this is YOUR fault; YOU gave birth to me. BTW, do you know what our neighbors do for a living? You keep giving them stuff."

Then Yeonhee lets loose with this brilliant line: "You won't let just anyone in Chan's grandpa's house." OH, F.F.S. So Yeonhee and Chanyeol are childhood friends, right?? And she doesn't recognize him? AND SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT HER CHILDHOOD FRIEND GREW UP TO BE AN INTERNATIONALLY FAMOUS STAR?? I just...*headdesk*  

Mama gets all defensive and denies that she knows who they are (even though she totally does), yells at Yeonhee to clean up her room, and leaves. Yeonhee's like "Yay! I'm the only one who knows about EXO living here!" and resumes her spying. Dude...you JUST told Gaeun they're there...

Cut to Sehun, D.O., and Baekhyun, who are sprawled out on a very nice black leather couch in the living room. To their back is a large window, which Yeonhee is spying on them through. Sehun is wearing a pretty zebra print shirt, and D.O. is wearing some fluffy blue sweater thing that makes him look absolutely adorable. They are talking to Kai on Skype, while using--gasp--a selfie stick! 

THIS is everything that's wrong with America.

Interestingly, selfie sticks don't seem to have the stigma in Asia that they do in America--Kpop stars seem to use them quite frequently, BTS in particular. 

Baekhyun (dang, that is hard to type) notes that Kai's skin looks "much lighter." Apparently, Koreans want to be as pale as possible, so much so that they cover up whenever they go outside, even in the summer. I think I read somewhere that because of this, South Koreans are sorely lacking in Vitamin D. And the ones with darker skin, like N from VIXX (and Kai),  can be teased or bullied because of their darker skin.

Baekhyun wonders if there are any pretty girls where Kai is, which prompts D.O. to shove him. The guys roll on the couch together and act all cutesy. Kai asks how they are, and Baekhyun complains that it's totes boring. Awww bby, I can think of a few interesting things for you to do. Like have a blindfolded Nerf battle in the front yard. Kai says he's "itching to dance again." Really? You might wanna get that checked out, dude. They say their goodbyes, and then moan and groan about how bored they are. Well, they could try calling someone else...like Xiumin.

Sehun leans over the back of the couch, and, with his head upside down, looks through the window and sees Yeonhee. Understandably, he is a bit disturbed by this, and pulls Baekhyun over to take a look. Baekhyun muses that she seemed "harmless." Ah, yeah, it's the normal ones you gotta look out for. Next thing you know, they'll be going through your stuff, drinking your toilet water, stealing your underwear, taking clippings of your hair...
*ahem*

Baekhyun is like "Should we have some fun with her?"
Sehun: OK.
BH: D.O.?
D.O.: Wut?
BH: Never mind, he's a wet blanket. 
BH: 하나, 둘, 셋 ...*gets on top of Sehun*
YH: ZOMG, Sehun and Baekhyun are practically kissing?? *slides down onto
the floor where she can't see them* "I wasn't expecting such a provocative
scene!"
Me: GET UP AND WATCH, YOU IDIOT!! Come on! Every EXO fangirl would 
give their right arm to be in your situation right now!
YH: *eventually works up the courage to look again*
Sultry saxophone music: *plays*
SH and BH: *giggling like crazy*
D.O.: *kicks them* Stop it.
Chanyeol (DUN DUN DUN!) watches stonily from the balcony. Oh great, he's
going to come down and spoil the fun, isn't he?
SH: (to D.O.) Close the curtains.
D.O.: *closes them, grins, and waves to YH as they close*
YH: OMG! Could they possibly have known I was watching and staged the 
whole thing??

Killjoy Chanyeol comes downstairs, and D.O. asks him why they came here, to this particular house. Ooh, I smell a contrived mystery. Chanyeol glances up at the window (oooh, foreshadowing!) and says in a voice as low as Darth Vader's "I lost something here." Your virginity, perhaps? (I'm so sorry.) Speaking of which, I think that quite a few K-pop stars are sexually frustrated virgins. Chanyeol dramatically jerks the curtains aside, stares straight at Yeonhee and continues "Something precious." 
(And I collapse in fits of laughter.)

Yeonhee's all like "OMG!!" though from Chanyeol suddenly staring at her or because she suddenly realized that "Chan", her childhood friend, is "Chanyeol", internationally famous K-pop star, I can't tell which. It's most likely the first one, because it just wouldn't do for her to figure out the mystery of Chanyeol so soon, y'know? Yeonhee's "OMG!" face freezes and becomes all rainbowy, and the episode ends.

EXO Next Door (우리 옆집에 EXO가 산다) Episode 1 Recap

We begin with an overhead shot of a car driving along a quiet residential street at night. It looks like a shot from a video game. The van, who bears a striking resemblance to Lucille 2.0, is carrying four guys, one of which complains that the van draws too much attention and that they need to be quiet. Well, it's probably because you're driving it along a nice street at NIGHT. During the day, everyone would probably think it was, I don't know, law enforcement on stakeout (Does S. Korea have an equivalent to the FBI?). The van passenger door opens slooowly, and the guys exit with their suitcases, all bundled up and wearing hats and fashion surgical masks and looking utterly ridiculous. They walk through the rain in slo-mo, looking all cool and dangerous.

We cut to our main character (Yeonhee), who is standing in front of a convenience store, looking utterly terrified at the thought of going inside. (BTW, S. Korean convenience stores are AWESOME.) Her cheeks are a hideous, chalk-like shade of neon pink. 

Get used to this look. Get really, REALLY used to this look.

She gives herself a pep talk, and we cut to inside the store, where an inept/possibly stoned cashier is taking an overly long time to ring up her packet of sanitary pads. Lol. Yeonhee tells him to hurry, but he keeps getting distracted by a drunk guy stumbling around in the 
background.

As Yeonhee is paying, the drunk guy stumbles up behind her. The cashier asks if she wants another one (they're buy 2 get 1 free! Nice!), prompting Yeonhee to scream out that it's her last day. Well, some sophisticated people might not appreciate this kind of comedy, but for aficionados of bathroom humor like myself, this scene is utterly hilarious. The cashier just stares at her, and Yeonhee flees the store.

Yeonhee walks home, complaining that her face is burning and presses her palms to her cheeks. The face in question is--I kid you not--GLOWING IN THE DARK. It looks like someone spray-painted her face hot pink. She turns onto another street and notices the four guys from the intro walking slowly along behind her. Creepy music plays, and we see alternate shots of her feet speeding up and their feet speeding up. That's nice. I really appreciate nice foot shots. Sometimes I get tired of seeing faces, you know? Sometimes filmmakers get it RIGHT (see: Kill Bill movies).

The guys have a cryptic discussion that makes them sound like they killed someone and need a place to dump the body. One of them wonders offhandedly why "Matilda" is so heavy. Yeonhee freaks, and in her mind's eye she sees a dead white girl with the guys standing over her. At that exact moment, one of the streetlights goes out, Yeonhee slips on a banana peel, and the pads go flying out of her bag right towards the guys. 

The package lands right in front of the guys, and one of them picks it up with a "WTF?" look on his face. Meanwhile, Yeonhee is lying on her back in the street, her eyes squeezed shut, praying they won't kill her. Wow, she's accepting her death very well. Even girls in horror movies scream and struggle at least a little. Instead of running, Yeonhee tries to wish them away, as if the power of her mind will make them not come. (Insert joke about K-drama girls having no willpower or mindpower whatsoever here.)

Hesitatingly, she opens her eyes to see the guys leaning over her. Okay, they do look kind of scary, but it's the masks. I have been (and I'm sure most other people have been as well) taught from a young age that surgical masks are things mad scientists wear when they're cutting you up. 

Yep, DEFINITELY in Hell.

Yeonhee jumps up, screeches, flails ineffectively at them with the now-empty bag, and runs like the wind. 

날 따라 뛰어봐 Run,
처음부터 Hello Hello, E-yo
이대로 너와 나 Run,

이 손을 놓지 말아요, E-yo...

Seriously, she runs like the Flash into her house, past her mother and brother, who are eating a buttload of bananas. So THAT'S where the banana peel came from, right?The guys shake their heads and wonder at this strange creature. (And in case you're wondering, no, we never see or hear of the pads again.) 

Throwing herself on her bed, Yeonhee furiously fans her face. The door bursts open, and her brother runs in, doing over-the-top martial arts poses. He informs her that some "good looking" guys are moving in next door. Ooh la la. Yeonhee stops fanning herself and blushes. Her brother wonders what she's thinking about. Dude, seriously? You're a teenage boy. It's pretty obvious what she's thinking about. Yeonhee yells at him to get out, and shoots a pink Nerf gun [!] at him until he leaves. Lying back, Yeonhee imagines the possibilities of the "good-looking" guys.

Apparently, the inside of her head is quite plain and quite red, with cartoon guys (who seem to be white, actually) floating around in bubbles and giving her flowers [?]. I guess the show's CGI budget wasn't very big. The inside of my head is a lot blacker and bluer. And with a lot less hot guys. None, to be exact.

The sound of a rooster crowing and Yeonhee's mom's voice yelling  "Breakfast!" cut into her dreams. Whoa, nights in S. Korea are short. Mama yells at Yeonhee to get up, slapping her repeatedly. Yeonhee screeches at the unwarrented assault. Apparently, if Yeonhee wants to live like a "loser", she should pay rent, because Mama is a realtor and she knows all about...rent, and such. Mama leaves in a huff, having been unable to wrestle her daughter out of bed.

Instead of going to breakfast, Yeonhee recalls a statement one of the guys said last night--that "it" would be all over the internet the next day. So, naturally, she looks up "blonde woman murdered". Lol. So she thinks people likely to be named Matilda (namely, English speakers) are blonde?

Okay, I know I like to imagine all Koreans as the gorgeous, perfect-skinned people in dramas, or the inhumanly beautiful K-pop stars (see: Hongbin from VIXX or L from Infinite), and I'm sure Koreans like to imagine all Americans (and therefore most English speakers) as blonde, tanned, blue-eyed, big-busted (the lllladies) and muscular (the
guys). Unfortunately, most of us are pretty darn fat, pasty, and brown-haired. So...no, if you're looking for murdered Americans or English speakers in Korea, they will probably not be blonde.

Her phone says there are no search results. What kind of crappy search engine is she using? Naver? (sorrynotsorry) Understandably, Yeonhee is confused, and therefore immediately searches for EXO [?]. Okay, I guess she has ADD. It seems that one of the members, Suho has been hurt (NOO!! Suho bby!), and their tour is canceled. Mama screeches at her again to come to breakfast, and the scene ends.

At breakfast, Mama reports that there are guys moving in next door and gives Yeonhee a card (a keycard?) to give to them. Yeonhee unsuccessfully tries to pawn off the responsibility on her mother and brother. In yet another dig at her daughter, Mama tells her to "eat up" and calls Gwangsu her "sweet boy." He relishes the attention and sticks out his tongue at Yeonhee. Taking a disparaging look at Yeonhee's pajamas, Mama tells her to get dressed up so she can make a good first impression. Cut to Yeonhee trying on a series of different outfits and a series of different greetings.

The doorbell rings, and she excitedly greets the new neighbors...who are ugly, even by American standards. Stunned and disappointed, Yeonhee gives them the card and retreats to the sanctuary of her bed. We learn through voiceover exposition that she's 23 and has never had a boyfriend yet. Well, I'm getting there. I feel ya girl. Apparently, she's had  plenty of dates, but they were all too boring/ugly/weird.

Despite her ability to get dates, however, she has One Big Flaw. She freezes up around guys she likes and blushes like someone dipped her face in hot pink chalk. She turns into "a red rock". Lol. So she's lava? Cool. Flashback to when she's in school and looking like a Korean girl version of Harry Potter.



She's waiting for a Hawt Guy so she can give him a present. (Ugh, I'm getting Boys Before Flowers flashbacks.) He greets her cordially enough and asked why she wanted to meet, but...of course, she's speechless. She stammers and blushes, and he eventually walks away. At least he didn't dump food on her or tell her to lick his shoes.

In the present, Yeonhee abandons all hope of falling in love with a cute guy next door, and sprawls on the couch in her pajamas, stuffs her face with popcorn, and watches what looks like an EXO reality show on TV. She sighs as she gazes at EXO, and every fangirl is identifying with her. Gwangsu is hitting a hat tree, making all sorts of exaggerated martial arts noises. Something tells me he and Bo Tong's brother would get along very well. She screeches at him to be quiet.

He pauses for a moment and looks out the window. Some Hawt Guys (EXO) are strolling around in the neighbors' yard, checking out the scenery. He wonders why she thought the neighbors were ugly, and she confirms that they were indeed "ugly-ass". [lol] Her brother compares the neighbors to the guys on TV, and notes with confusion that they look alike. (Wait, they air K-pop reality shows in Korea?? So Korean fangirls can see their idols on TV instead of having to make do with potato-quality YouTube videos that may or may not have subtitles?) In true fangirl fashion, Yeonhee screeches at him and slaps his head, prompting him to angrily retaliate with a series of ridiculous-looking martial arts poses. It's nice to know that sibling squabbles are not constrained by language or culture.

Mama enters (cue shrieking violins) and gives Yeonhee a package to bring next door. Wailing like she'll have to go to the dentist every day for the rest of her life, Yeonhee desperately tries to talk her mom out of it. Mama threatens to kick Yeonhee out and rent her room, so Yeonhee reluctantly sets out on a dangerous quest to deliver rice cakes (yum yum yum) to the neighbors. 

Seeing no one in the house (though somehow missing several giant posters of EXO that are on the walls) Yeonhee decides to leave the rice cakes on the kitchen table. (Note: she is still in her pajamas.) However, after she sniffs the delicious aroma of the fresh rice cakes, she decides to open the package and taste one. 

Oh nononono. I'm already cringing, and she hasn't even opened the box yet. She bites into one, then starts choking (OK, I didn't see that coming) so she steals a bottle of water from the fridge (which has even MORE posters of EXO on it). As she's drinking, the Fab Four (the members of EXO who are staying in the house and starring in this show) enter. Their entrance is accompanied by a Dramatic Guitar Chord so we know that this is a Very Important Moment. 

Yeonhee pauses, her cheeks full of water, and we get nice, fanservice-y shots of all four of them. The morning sunlight streaming in through the windows to their left is a really nice touch. Chanyeol asks her who she is (a rather reasonable reaction to a stranger standing in your kitchen wearing pajamas and drinking your water).

Yeonhee pauses...
...And SPITS the water all over him in slo-mo.

I wonder if the actress is proud of this.
"So what do you do?"
"Oh, I'm an actress." 
"Really? What was your most memorable role?"
"I got to spit a giant mouthful of spittle and water on Chanyeol from 
EXO."

Baekhyun cringes spectacularly, Sehun laughs, and D.O. looks slightly concerned but mostly stoned. Yeonhee freaks, and the episode ends with her realizing EXO DOES live next door.

Hey, at least she won't just be another EXO fan. I have an utter horror of being "just another fan", so when I finally get to meet VIXX, I'm going to stick Ravi headfirst down a trashcan. THEN they'll remember me.

EXO Next Door (우리 옆집에 EXO가 산다) Cast of Characters

Chanyeol:
Love interest and killjoy extraordinaire. Nice eyes tho. The Designated Love Interest. Has Main Kdrama Guy Character Syndrome (basically, he's a rude a-hole who the girl likes for some reason who becomes a saccharine sweetie-pie halfway through the show). Has absolutely massive "fairy" or "godlike" Yoda ears. 

Yeonhee:
Your typical fangirl. Has a tendency to stuff unhealthy snacks in her mouth while ogling her love interests. Also has Main Kdrama Girl Syndrome (basically, she's an idiot who can't think for herself or take care of herself). Spends 70% of the series blushing for one reason or 
another. 

Sehun:
Adorable. Has hair so beautiful I want to pet it. Can eat a lot of chicken (though that's not relevant to this drama). The 막내 (youngest member) of EXO.

D.O.:
Has nice big eyes. The designated Secondary Love Interest. A total sweetie pie. Has a heart-shaped smile and the whites of his eyes are very large.

Baekhyun:
The other member of EXO that stays there. Sassy and silly. Has a rectangular smile, like V from BTS.

Mama: Yeonhee's borderline abusive mother.

Gwangsu: Yeonhee's younger brother. Could be anywhere from 14 to 34. Likes martial arts a little too much and is the stereotypical annoying younger brother.
