The Korean drama Love Next Door, Episode 14 aired on tvN in South Korea last night to the second highest rating of its entire run.

That increased rating is ahead of the Kdrama’s final weekend next week.

Via data from Nielsen Korea, it is now confirmed Love Next Door, Episode 14 earned 7.11 percent of the nationwide audience, which is just a smidgen away from the Kdrama’s highest ever rating of 7.34 percent that it earned for Episode 12.

Meanwhile, viewers in Seoul helped Love Next Door perform even better in that region, with Episode 14’s rating jumping from the previous episode’s 5.85 percent to last night’s 8.17 percent.

Again, the Kdrama’s 2nd highest rating compared to Episode 12’s 8.27 percent in that region.

The final two episodes of the popular Korean drama will air next weekend — October 5th and 6th — and will likely climb even higher in the ratings.

International ratings for Love Next Door

International audiences also seem to still be obsessively in love with Love Next Door, as evidenced by its performance on Netflix.

On that streaming platform, the Korean drama currently sits in the #2 spot on the Netflix Top 10 Non-English TV Shows chart, with a total of 41.4 million hours viewed so far.

It has also been on the chart for 6 weeks — ie: ever since its first two episodes began streaming.

Love Next Door stars Jung Hae In and Jung So Min.

A main casting decision that, along with the nicely-written script, has also been part of the drama’s huge success.
