The Lover - 더러버

Four “couples” test the boundaries of their relationship when they decide to cohabitate without stepping through the threshold of marriage first. The Lover” is a 2015 South Korean drama series directed by Kim Tae Eun.

Couple Apt. 609

Oh Do Si [35] (Oh Jung Se) and Ryoo Doo Ri  [31] (Ryu Hyun Kyung) are in their 30s and have been living together for two years. As Do Si works as a voice-over actor and Doo Ri runs a blog, it’s hard to tell that the loving couple is anything but a married couple who support one another through their daily trials and triumphs.

Couple Apt. 610

Choi Jin Nyeo [33] (Choi Yeo Jin) is a frugal older woman who lives with her much younger boyfriend, Jeong Yeong Joon [21] (Jung Joon Young), a lackadaisical man who carries a guitar around everywhere although he doesn’t even know how to play it. Although Jin Nyeo is supporting Young Joon, he finds ways to get under her good graces with his youthful charms. They have been living together for a year.

Couple Apt.  510

Ha Seol Eun [28](Ha Eun Sul) and Park Hwan Jong [32] (Park Jong Hwan) have just moved in together. Seol Eun still works tirelessly to present her perfectly femininity persona in front of Hwan Jong, but how long can she keep up the illusion?

Couple Apt.  709

Living in the same apartment building as the three cohabitating couples is Lee Joon Jae [21] (Lee Jae Joon), a young man who lives alone but realizes that he must take a roommate to save money. Ever the loner, he decides to take in a foreign roommate to minimize the need for meaningful interaction. But when the adventure-seeking Takuya [21] (Terada Takuya) from Japan moves in, Joon Jae may be forced out into the world against his wishes.

I haven't watched the latest episode yet but I really love Choi Yeo Jin and the couple who've lived together for 2 years. I don't know where they're going to take the boys (probably nowhere...) but so far their story isn't really that satisfying. And then the "new" couple...meh boring.

Junyoung's character is ridiculous but that gif set is super cute because everything is Choi Yeo Jin's

I watched all the eps yesterday and omg what even is this show. I love it.
but yeah, it's so light hearted and slice of life; I really don't know if it's going anywhere either.
The boys make me go ?????? because they were kinda alluding to feelings in the last ep, but I doubt they'd dare to go there.

I love this show. Joonjae and Takuya have completely ruined me.

Man the third and forth episode. I know people on tumblr was loosing it when the whole wall gate happen with Joon Jae and Takuya. They are doing a lot to queer bait man. I don't know if they are going to go somewhere with them since they have moments where they seem, well mostly Joon Jae, question himself and his feelings, but then they do scenes where you got Joon Jae spread eagle farting into the universe.

This is pretty much a slice of life show, so there isn't really going to be a whole plot. Its mostly us viewer getting a glimpse into the lives of four couples living together.

YES, the writers are definitely queer baiting, but I'm almost certain their relationship will go anywhere. It'll probably be like "Oh I thought I had feelings for him, but I don't" kind of thing.
