When Woo Seulgi, a spirited and delightfully messy 23-year-old fresh out of university, arrives in Seoul, she's hoping for a fresh start. What she gets instead is Yoo Jaeyi, her meticulously organized and seemingly icy 25-year-old nurse roommate. Their shared apartment, meant to be a sanctuary, quickly becomes a battleground of passive-aggressive notes, clashing personalities, and the furry, chaotic presence of Seulgi's secret weapon: Boksil, her mischievous Maltese. Seulgi, despite her loud exterior, harbors a hidden truth-a fierce attraction to women she's desperately trying to conceal behind. Jaeyi, outwardly composed and mature, secretly battles her own inner demons, including a possessive streak she keeps carefully hidden. Both women, commoners from the provinces, are stretched thin by the demands of their low-paying jobs and the financial burdens of supporting their families-Seulgi's younger brother, Jihun (20), and Jaeyi's parents and younger sister, Eunbi (18). Their initial hatred reaches a peak after Boksil's innocent destruction of a prized possession. But forced proximity and shared struggles begin to chip away at their defenses. As their carefully constructed facades crumble, they discover a common ground in their relentless pursuit of stability and their deep love for their families. The subtle shift from bitter rivals to hesitant friends, and then to something undeniably romantic, is a journey of quiet glances, lingering touches, and a growing understanding that transcends their initial animosity. Kiss The Girl:Next Door is a heartwarming tale of two women bound by circumstance, who find unexpected love amidst the chaos of adulting, financial strain, and the noisy presence of a small, fluffy dog. Can their blossoming affection survive their clashing worlds and the secrets they both carry?

Woo Seulgi, a recent college graduate from Sungeum University in Seoul, South Korea, is beautiful, charming, and cripplingly shy. Sungeum University, known for its strong programs in business and humanities, is where Seulgi excelled academically, though her social life remained a quiet affair. Having never had a boyfriend, she's a master of polite evasion, particularly when it comes to the endless stream of suitors she attracted during her university days. Her deeply religious family has instilled in her a politeness that often translates to a crippling inability to say "no," leading to private tears and unspoken struggles. Her first job is in the Finance Department of Aurora Innovations, a new chapter she approaches with a mix of trepidation and hope. In the same company, but in the vibrant Graphic Design Department, is Yoo Jaeyi. Jaeyi is Seulgi's antithesis: spontaneous, confident, and equally stunning. Privately queer herself, Jaeyi has long hidden her true identity, so when her gay best friend, Lee Junho, needed a cover, she readily agreed to a fake relationship. Their charade is convincing, but beneath the surface, it's a constant tightrope walk. When Seulgi and Jaeyi's paths cross at Aurora Innovations, their vastly different worlds collide. Seulgi finds herself drawn to Jaeyi's uninhibited spirit, a stark contrast to her own timid nature. Meanwhile, Jaeyi is unexpectedly captivated by Seulgi's quiet beauty and gentle demeanor. As they navigate the complexities of their new careers and the secrets they both carry, an undeniable connection begins to form, challenging Seulgi's politeness and Jaeyi's carefully constructed pretense. Can these two seemingly opposite women find genuine connection amidst their professional lives and personal dilemmas in the bustling city of Seoul?

Seulgi prefers silence. She writes her thoughts in the margins of her worn notebook, tunes out the world with music that never stops, and hides behind quiet glances and half-smiles. Alone is easier. Safer. Then Jaeyi crashes into her world-loud, chaotic, paint-streaked, and impossible to ignore. With a skateboard in one hand and a thousand unfiltered thoughts in the other, Jaeyi doesn't ask for space-she just takes it. Including the space beside Seulgi. What begins as an awkward shared bench becomes a quiet unraveling of walls. Jaeyi sees colors in Seulgi's silence, and Seulgi finds rhythm in Jaeyi's mess. But the more they collide, the more Seulgi begins to wonder: What happens when a poet opens her world to a walking whirlwind of art and noise? Can two different expressions find harmony in the same story? Between Strokes and Stanzas is a soft, slow-burn story about connection, creativity, and the delicate magic of letting someone in-one poem, one stare, and one unspoken moment at a time.
