Flower Boy Next Door (2013)

The one thing I like the most of the plot of the story is the character development and eye candy stuffs. I seriously fell into the character of the main male lead (with his cute looks too!). Throughout the story, you can really see the characters growing and I learned many lessons too, especially about self-esteem and love. All the actors and actresses did a great job in portraying the role and the story is fresh and new. It was nice to try something quite different than the natural plot of most romance-slash-melodrama. The music was quite catchy and entertaining, it seriously fits the mood/atmosphere of the scene. Right now, I'm watching it for the second time around, I can't get over of Enrique's character. I also have a good laugh with this drama...
all in all, the greatest strength of this movie was that, it has plot depth and heavy in center themes, which means that in the plot, you can clearly distinguish the initial action, climax, and denouement. It is heavy in center theme because the conflict that arises is clearly seen evolving alongside with each character development. Connections are clear. It was a good drama, refreshing, original, and seriously entertaining! (insert Enrique's smile! kyaaaa~~~~)

yes, this drama is worth watching. i was skeptical of course since the disaster (this is personally MY opinion) of watching flower boy ramyun shop. Yoon Shi Yoon is doing a wonderful job as Enrique and Park Shin Hye is beautiful as ever.the interaction between all the characters is extremely cute and the drama steers away from too many cliche's that we are used to. the story might seem like your typical kdrama love triangle but it carries much more depth and many people can relate to Go Dok Mi. the music is very good and fits perfectly into place. Perfect cast and also some cameos(supporting characters?) are extremely funny. overall, this drama has surprised me and it is getting quite interesting, hopefully all the fangirls can stop squealing from so tension that is going on. P.S yes, there are many hot boys to look at which aint bad at all :D

I am a HUGE fan of Park Shin Hye. So I am very critical of what dramas/movies she acts in. So I'll give an honest (hopefully short) review of this show.

Acting/Cast: Everyone was spectacular in this drama. Kim Seul Gi, who plays the chief editor role, stole the show for me. She has a very loveable character and is pretty hilarious. The actors act the serious scenes really well and also act the funny scenes perfect.

Music: Ok, so JRabbit is plastered all over this drama. Which it shouldn't be a bad thing, but it was this time around. While she does have a beautiful voice, I got tired of hearing the same exact song for such a long period of time. Park shin hye would come on sometimes and sing her song. But I didn't really start hearing any difference in music until the later episodes.

Story/Overall: Ok let's end this thing. The story was pretty good. It wasn't anything spectacular but it also wasn't recycled (which is good). There is a WHOLE LOT of aegyo and super cute acting in this so, if that makes you mad, then you'll want to kill yourself at the end of this drama. The story starts off really good. They introduce a lot of characters who are all very different and come from all different places. I loved watching this drama at first. Although I loved the two mains, I still found myself attached to everyone else because it just felt like one big misfit family.

The story progresses really good, but only for about half the drama. It falls REALLY flat towards the end. I couldn't wait to finish it so I could just be done with it. It felt like the relationship between the two mains peaked too early. Like there was nothing left for them to do for like 4 episodes lol. And as I mentioned earlier, I loved the sub-cast, but the back-story for some of them was totally non-existent. Which made me really mad. In those 4 episodes where the leads weren't doing anything they could've really expanded upon the stories of the other characters so that you can really feel immersed in the drama. They all live in those cheap run down apartments. But why? What happened in their lives to make them all live close to poverty? Everyone has a unique story as to why they are at where they are at in life. And they do kind of explain for a lot of the characters, but some are left out. They have characters that appear in almost every episode that you just never know anything about lol. That was annoying. They could've developed the back story a little more to divert attention from the mains because the mains ran out of juice towards the end.

Rewatch value is low. Mainly because it's pretty boring maybe halfway through and towards the end. You'll be glad that it is finally finished.

Story---Okay so this is one of other ''Flower boy...''series and as always i love it very much!I love these kind of dramas.They are good because the whole plot is funny and when u add talented actors in it it's just...BREATHTAKING!Yes yes many of you won't agree with me because yes this story had dark corners in it but still i love it very much!When i was in depression i always watched this and i started to laugh like i was crazy!I was also very happy with the idea of ''introvert'' girl in it because...well i'm exactly like the main girl....i don't have any trauma like her..except bullying that was kind of harsh but...I go outside more often than her but anyway yes she is almost as me so i could perfectly get into her character..I know her pain and i know how it is to trust someone...So thumb's up for the amazing writer..Who know's maybe the writer is like our main girl!^_^

Acting---The acting was good and crazy!I think Yoon Shi Yoon is master in such drama's because in every drama i watched from him, he was funny and sometimes even dummy!I love him for his craziness and i think he is that in real life too!The chemistry was there and i must say this is first drama where i saw such playfull romance...The love was showen in his acting of being funny..So i loved it the most..The free relationship they had...It's calming for me..No dramas just...love and overcoming the bad thing from past together...So...bravo*clapping*

Music----I love the music too...that's all i can say i think....*walking around awkwardly*what do you expect me to say?It was romantic fluffy and all that fit in!

Rewatch value----All time when u feel sad, down-mood,depressed,u broke up with someone(?)...etc.....It's just so amazing that it will make you laugh and u need laughter in ur life!You know i don't like spanish much since i'm being forced to learn it in school but..when i saw Yoon Shi Yoon talking funny spanish i swear something moved in me and i grabed the book and went to study!So yes always when i'm lazy i watch it!

I'm dropping this drama after finishing episode 7.
I don't usually write reviews for dramas that I've dropped, but I feel like this might be helpful to some viewers...

This drama is NOT bad. Truly. It just moves very slowly and I've simply lost interest. There's literally not enough going on with very little change of scenery.

I really like Park Shin Hye and her character has potential, but I just don't care enough about the story to finish it. Her troubled past is the most interesting, but there's very little going on with it to keep me interested. Yoon Shi Yoon's character is kinda obnoxious and immature here, which is a turn off for me (he's played much better roles since this drama). That might be where my lack of interest comes from - I'm not really feeling the romance.

So anyways, I wouldn't dissuade someone from watching this nor encourage. It's one of those older dramas you can live without seeing, but if you're on an old-timey drama kick, it might hit the spot if you like a more immature male lead?

8 episodes so far. and the word that comes to mind when I think about this show is ‘pleasant’…firstly I haven't seen the other two ‘flower’ dramas..when I first read the general description of this drama I expected another typical romantic comedy..(weak girl..popular boy..the perfect second lead)..but I was very pleasantly surprised.. the male lead is a cheerful..extremely adorable boy who will make u say aww and smile whenever he is on screen..the female lead is quite but she understands what’s happening around her… what impressed me the most was that all the characters seem to have a certain depth to them..they seem like real people..the interaction between all the characters is extremely cute..all of them are completely adorable and also the show has so far tried its best to stay away from as many clichés as possible(but it is a romantic comedy… so there are only so many u can avoid)..there is a lot of character development ..the music pleasant and perfect for the show..the acting is very good as well..and I feel this is one of those shows u can watch it over and over..also I think this has a j-drama feel to it…seeing as to how fast the phase is…

The story is so unique especially for a korean drama and I like it a lot. I've tried to watch the other flower dramas and I couldn't do it. I couldn't connect to the story or the characters. I think this one does an excellent job of letting the audience connect.

As for the acting I was a little worried at first because too often do I find dramas are filled with pretty people that can't act but both are excellent. The female lead is especially good she doesn't have many lines but her facial expression and body language are perfect at telling exactly what she's thinking or wanting to say. I also love the chemistry between the two leads. It's fantastic.

I would definitely recommend this drama.
