* [[HaremGenre Reverse Harem:]] While the [[spoiler:Chanyeol-Yeonhee-D.O.]] Type 8 [[TriangRelations love triangle]] is the main focus of the series, there is also [[spoiler:her high school crush Minhwan,]] and she is teased with [[spoiler:Kai]].

'''EXO Next Door''' is a WebOriginal KoreanDrama presented by Naver TV Cast in 2015, starring Moon Gayoung and members of the [[KoreanPopMusic Korean]] BoyBand {{Music/EXO}} (playing fictionalized versions of themselves). Despite the drama being a CringeComedy, it became one of the most popular web series in Korea with 50 million views; leading to CJ E&M re-editing it into a film version, which was then sold to overseas buyers at the 68th Cannes Film Market.

'''Ga-eun''': Your mother treated you so badly that you finally lost it.\\


EXO Next Door is a WebOriginal K-Drama presented by LINE TV in which 23-year-old Ji Yeon-hee suddenly finds that four members of the [[KoreanPopMusic Korean]] BoyBand {{Music/EXO}} have moved into the house next door. The boys came to the house on the request of Chanyeol, whose late grandfather owned the house and who is looking to find the duplicate copy of a necklace he broke, which was given to him by his grandfather, in order to put a stop to his recent string of misfortunes. Amidst quite a few [[CringeComedy extremely mortifying encounters,]] Yeon-hee becomes the boys' maid, and she learns that one member of the world-famous group [[ChildhoodFriends isn't as far apart from her]] [[ForgottenFirstMeeting as she believes.]]

* BlessedWithSuck: Millions upon millions of girls would kill to be in Yeon-hee's shoes, but seeing as how her first few encounters with the group went extremely poorly, it's perfectly understandable that she balks at the idea of interacting with the boys in the early episodes.

* {{Bookends}}: The series ends with Yeon-hee opening a box of rice cakes and [[spoiler:being handed a water bottle by a certain someone.]]

* {{Bromance}}: Sehun and Kwang-soo get a couple of these moments, especially in the last episode.
* CanNotSpitItOut: As bad as [[ObliviousToHints Yeon-hee is at getting his message,]] [[spoiler:Chanyeol]] could have avoided the entire situation by just telling her [[spoiler:he was her childhood friend.]]
* ChekhovsHobby: Kwang-soo's martial arts and tendency to engage in battle with any coat rack he lays eyes on are how [[spoiler:Yeon-hee and Chanyeol are freed from the secret room.]]
* ChekhovsNews: Yeon-hee reads the news about Suho's injury on her phone in the first episode.

* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: Sehun and Kwang-soo.
* CringeComedy: On the border between PlayedStraight and PlayedForDrama. Yeon-hee's first few encounters with the group are on the verge of [[NightmareFuel Cringe Fuel,]] ranging from her doing a SpitTake in his face upon their first meeting, to her almost destroying his room full of instruments, in which she wasn't supposed to be in the first place, chasing a cockroach.
* FirstLove: [[spoiler:Chanyeol [[{{Discussed}} doesn't take kindly]] to Yeon-hee referring to her high school crush Min-hwan as her first love and reminds her that it was himself, not Min-hwan.]]
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: [[spoiler:Yeon-hee doesn't remember Chanyeol until [[ObliviousToHints he spells it out for her directly]] in episode 13.]] She defends herself by claiming that she wouldn't have fathomed [[spoiler:her childhood friend growing up to be Park Chanyeol.]]
* FriendshipTrinket: An [[PlayingWithATrope untwisted]] example: Chanyeol received [[PlotDevice the necklace]] from his grandfather [[spoiler:and believed him to have the matching one, but his grandfather had actually given it to Yeon-hee, telling her that [[TheMatchmaker if she held onto it, Chanyeol would someday come looking for it.]]]]
* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:Chanyeol,]] toward Min-hwan.
** [[spoiler:D.O.'s]] constant bad timing in walking in on [[spoiler:Chanyeol and Yeon-hee]] often leaves him looking on with a sadness that gets mixed with more and more envy as time goes on.
** Both [[spoiler:Chanyeol and D.O. toward Kai,]] to some extent, after Sehun mistakenly deduces that Yeon-hee likes him. He seemingly plays this up during his first [[ADayInTheLimelight time around the house.]]
* GrumpyBear: Of all people, Chanyeol, at least for the first half of the series. {{Lampshaded}} by Yeon-hee when she murmurs to herself about how he normally seems so gleeful.
* HairTriggerTemper: Being under so much stress turns Chanyeol into this to the point where he yells at Sehun and D.O. just for looking at him. {{Justified}} when he snaps at Yeon-hee for not only being in his room when she was expressly informed not to, but having carelessly knocked over his instruments.
* HeroicSacrifice: {{Parodied}} when Kwang-soo and Sehun are being chased by some of the latter's fangirls and Kwang-soo diverts their attention so Sehun can escape.
* HintDropping: [[spoiler:Chanyeol to [[ObliviousToHints Yeon-hee.]]]]
* [[invoked]]HoYay: Baekhyun and Sehun decide to mess with Yeon-hee (who was spying on them) by pretending to make out.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:D.O. considered not helping Chanyeol out by telling him Yeon-hee was waiting for him, he decided to (albeit mostly because she probably would have frozen to death before leaving.)]]
* [[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood Impossibly Delicious Drink]]: Kwang-soo can make coffee from absolute scratch that is so good, it made a K-Pop idol immediately befriend him.
* ImYourBiggestFan: {{Averted}}. While Yeon-hee and Ga-eun are EXO fans, neither of them seems to be biased toward any one member in particular.

* LoonyFan: {{Subverted}}. In the beginning Yeon-hee says she'll be "on [the boys] 24/7," but this is quickly shaken out of her when Chanyeol gives her an I-won't-let-invasions-of-privacy-off-lightly DeathGlare.
* MoodWhiplash: Yeon-hee goes from gushing over the members to mortified devastation upon remembering the SpitTake. It leaves her mind absurdly quickly and she's back to spying in less than five seconds.

* NaughtyBirdwatching: Yeon-hee in episode 2.
** Ga-eun as well, but she leaves before the [[HoYay Ho Yay]] starts.
* [[invoked]] NightmareFuel: An InUniverse example: Chanyeol giving Yeon-hee a DeathGlare over peeping causes her to have one.

* ObliviousToHints: Yeon-hee. ''And. How.''
** Chanyeol also misses the meaning of his late grandfather's hint as to where the other necklace is. He gets the "red" part [[spoiler:but doesn't connect it with Yeon-hee.]]
* OddFriendship: Sehun and Kwang-soo. Above the fact that [[CoolKidAndLoserFriendship the former is world-famous]] and the latter is a [[WhatTheFuAreYouDoing martial-arts-obsessed]] high schooler who [[WiseBeyondTheirYears behaves as if he's far older,]] is the fact that their friendship started when the latter made some [[ImpossiblyDeliciousFood really good]] hand-ground, hand-squeezed coffee for the former in a tent in his backyard.
* ParentalAbandonment: Yeon-hee's mother is a real-estate agent. Whenever Yeon-hee tries to back-talk her, she reminds her how much money she could get for renting out her room.

* [[HaremGenre Reverse Harem:]] While the [[spoiler:Chanyeol-Yeon-hee-D.O.]] Type 8 [[TriangRelations love triangle]] is the main focus of the series, there is also [[spoiler:her high school crush Min-hwan,]] and she is teased with [[spoiler:Kai]]. By the end it mellows out and heads toward SupportingHarem territory.
* SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: In episode 14, [[spoiler:Chanyeol tells Min-hwan he's dating Yeon-hee]] and proceeds to demand that he stop calling her.
* ShaggySearchTechnique: How [[spoiler:Kwang-soo]] finds [[spoiler:Yeon-hee and Chanyeol]] in episode 14.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Sehun and Kwang-soo.
* WhatTheFuAreYouDoing: Hilariously played with by Kwang-soo, who is always using a coat rack like a wooden dummy to the point where he did so upon spotting one in Chanyeol's house. His actual competence when it comes to martial arts is never seen, but it is implied to be nearly non-existent.

* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Kwang-soo. Lampshaded by Sehun.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: [[GenkiGirl Chanyeol]] fits this trope to a tee.

* {{Bookends}}: The series ends with Yeon-hee opening a box of rice cakes and [[spoiler: being handed a water bottle by a certain someone.]]

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler: D.O. considered not helping Chanyeol out by telling him Yeon-hee was waiting for him, he decided to (albeit mostly because she probably would have frozen to death before leaving.)]]

* JustFriends: It's clear that [[spoiler: D.O.]] would have preferred things to end differently.

** Chanyeol also misses the meaning of his late grandfather's hint as to where the other necklace is. He gets the "red" part [[spoiler: but doesn't connect it with Yeon-hee.]]

* [[HaremGenre Reverse Harem:]] While the [[spoiler: Chanyeol-Yeon-hee-D.O.]] Type 8 [[TriangRelations love triangle]] is the main focus of the series, there is also [[spoiler: her high school crush Min-hwan,]] and she is teased with [[spoiler: Kai]].

** In the last episode, [[spoiler: he receives a real dummy along with a note encouraging him to "become a true martial artist" as a parting gift from Sehun.]]
