a short and fluffy romance comedy drama for some lazy afternoons or sundays
Short, cute and funny. A huge fluffball filled with sunshine. That’s how I would describe this web drama.And an always smiling/giggling/rolling-on-the floor/squeeling idiot on the other side of the screen. That’s how I would describe myself watching these series.
I really liked the story as it covered this Youtbers universe and there aren't many dramas about it!
But despite that still a drama that you don’t have to take seriously, you don’t have to think too much while watching it. Just sit back and enjoy those funny, sometimes silly romantic cliches that will do both – make your fingers curl in cheesiness and fill you up with that sunny and warm feeling.
For me Jiyeon is a perfect actress, it's very difficult to do a character like that and especially comedy and she was great. it was also good to see Lee Tae Sun as a main lead for the first time and Jang Eui Soo as a STRAIGHT for the first time lmao. The kissing scenes were great and much better than some I see in famous dramas. The final episode was also very cute.
Overall –It's a cute drama with a cute romance and some funny scenes, don't think too much and only watch it when you're tired and not willing to start a long drama.

A perfect drama to distract yourself from bad moments!
I was surprised because I wasn't expecting it to be so cute, I didn't find everything rushed like in other web dramas, the story flowed well and despite not being as developed, the main couple was really cute and the kissing scenes are definitely something to draw attention to. ! Jiyeon is perfect in the role, she really has a lot of talent and just her looks get you caught up in the drama! I think the entire drama is about two hours long so it's more like a 12-episode movie!It's a perfect drama for you to watch over lunch or dinner, when you want to see something but don't have time, so I definitely recommend it!

I didn't expect much, so in that respect I wasn't disappointed
I’ve seen other short shows done well, so I know it’s possible. This, to me, was not one of them. We’ve seen this story done many times before. It’s kind of a “local girl makes good” story, but I didn’t care for any of the characters. The female lead was not very nice and she uses her hands in such a way that her fingernails always seem to be the focal point of the shot. There was something a little creepy about the male lead and he was a bit of a bully. In addition, I don’t feel he had the looks or the charisma to be the male lead. The second FL was an over-the-top caricature of an evil person - screaming, screeching, foot stomping, she had it all. I have to be honest, the second male lead was attractive and probably could have been the lead, in looks and in the way he was written. He was just nicer than the male lead.This is a show you might enjoy when you need a break from longer, more well-done works.

Too bad, I expected more. I only finished it because it is super short.

The positive thing: it's short
A short drama to watch if your neurons stop working.Even if it is short it was very hard for me to watch it.
How could something be so bad?
PLOT: very bad and boring. I am not into make-up but i think it could be interesting to explore. It is always nice to learn.
The youtuber universe doesn't appeal to me but it is a theme to explore. Not here, though.
ACTING: didn't enjoy, even if i find the FL cute. Maybe being young is a better feature than quality, but maybe with a script like that it is hard to do more.
The shooting... I was wondering if it has something to do with Dogma 95 movement because of some scenes where the image was trembling...
OST: i don't remember it so... forgetable.
REWATCH: only if i want to punish myself... so much dramas and movies to see with better quality. Almost all, i guess.
Summing up, in these times i really like happy endings and romance. I also like simple stories, but this is just too bad for me. I push myself to like the characters but all seemed so superficial. Maybe the world is like this nowadays...

A Short Refresher
This is exactly the kind of thing you would watch to refresh your palate in-between dramas. The drama runs approximately 120 minutes total, so it's like watching a movie. It's way too short and fast-paced to evolve into anything substantial, but that's to be expected of something like this. There's romance instantly, and all conflict is solved within the drama's run. They also went for a lot of plot developments that definitely would have fitted well in something longer.I also liked the focus it had K-beauty and youtubers - something we don't see too often in dramas.
Overall, a nice watch.

A cute funny
I had this on my list and kept passing over due to rating but I decided to watch after I finished watching park ji jeon in Imatation (That another good one to watch) and I like all other cast members and they did a good job. I thought is was a quirky cute webtoon/drama and I enjoyed it since this was a different storyline that we don't see much of at least me. I felt it was a full story about utuber that review different products and give tip on makeup. These 2 have a history going back when Je yi was a fan of oh young utube channel and started as a volunteer to help for a month or so then turned into over a year. Then Je yi asked oh young does she think she has potential for a live channel? So she goes out and does it send the video to oh young who then copied her video and made it her own. Now they are rival's and giving a bad review on one turn into good review for ceo Lee woo bin when he was giving up she made him popular. Then he goes to thank her and her world is crushing due to possible law suit for bad review. So now watch the fun and a beautiful loveWas this review helpful to you?
Good Enough
Korean Web Drama 'Next Door Witch J' is a short drama with a killer female lead. Actually, the best thing about this drama is the female lead. She is strong, sassy, funny, energetic, and cute. The actress was also great, doing a great job with her performance. She additionally had chemistry with her partner.But, even though the main idea of the drama was okay, the story was rushed and, thus, it wasn't presented as it should. The love story happened in a blink of an eye and the love triangle was not well constructed. The rivalry of the two content creators needed, also, more time to be properly shown.
So, overall, four out of ten.

O entrosamento do elenco é maravilhoso e foi bom ver Jiyeon em papel de liderança. Ela normalmente recebe poucas oportunidades na Coréia.
Sigo ansiosa por vê-la colher trabalhos em projetos maiores, assim como o restante do elenco que merece mais projeção, são bons.
Um feito desse drama é que mesmo sendo um mini consegue introduzir e desenvolver várias subtramas e tem personagens secundários carismáticos e necessários.
Também foi bacana ver um romance curto focado no trabalho e com romance em segundo plano.
