Story: Before watching this drama, I liked pandas. After, I LOVE pandas. Oh Enrique, you have no idea, the affect you can have. *swoons* Specially the dorky panda dance? HOLY F!#%#&@ WHERE CAN I GET ONE? *ehem* Biasness aside, time to be serious. Flower Boy Next Door embodies a relatable herione in Go Dok Mi. Maybe not to the extent of literally just locking yourself in your home for months. But to some degree we all feel self-conscious and scared to step outside our comfort zone just like her. One point down for an interesting and relatable herione huh? Flower Boy Next Door is all about its characters, their relationships, and how they heal each other's wounds. Yes, it's quirky, adorable, has lots of eye-candy (seriously, there's a whole buffet of 'em), and hilarious, but at the end of the day, our big pay-off is the character growth. I loved (almost) every single character, and they got me right in here. Of course, it's a drama not without its flaws. In the final stretch, I found myself thinking, "now what?". There wasn't any story left to be told and drama is really over by then. Despite maintaining the cuteness, the last arc contained no really interesting plot and if you compare it to the original material, there's no comparison. That's very disappointing and a lot of people were largely appalled by this since most of them watched it while airing and it's probably harder to watch a drama's downgrade if you have to wait weeks for the next episodes. But for me, I didn't have to wait so maybe I handled it better than most people. The initial charm of the drama was still fresh in my mind so by the time I finished it, I'm still able to rate it a solid 10. Another problem I had are the secondary female characters. They didn't have much depth and I feel that the meatier storylines were given to the herione and the guys so there was no room left for the girls. But that's only a small problem. No biggie. Well, it does have to be noted that the main couple had a wonderful chemistry. The most adorable couple I've watched in a while. And I'm not gonna say anything but as cheesy as it sounds... they complete each other. It's a statement that's very redundant, but it is actually the case for this couple. Acting: Yoon Shi Yoon played his character so well and adorably at that. I just wanna keep him in my pocket. I'm now a fan and will follow him anywhere. I thought this is actually Park Shin Hye's best performance. Yes she was cute in YAB but I wasn't that emotionally invested with her role there. It probably largely has to do with the character, because here she had more chances of showing emotional range. Kim Ji Hoon played his character well too, a shame I didn't know him before this drama. And oh, I freaking loved the editor. She stole every scene she's in. Music: The background music reminded me of To The Beautiful You. But in a different way. Both their bg music are similar but the matter of WHEN they used it are opposite. In this, the background music aren't misplaced and random (which got on my nerves in TTBY, ugh). But here, it works and adds to the comedy. I loved some of the OST's as well, one that I will probably download is Talkin Bout Love by J-Rabbit. *.* Rewatch Value: Super cute drama with lots of heart-warming moments. As well as a couple who would probably make it to my all time favorite couple list. Even after just finishing the drama, I found myself re-watching cute couple scenes, and I still do. Goes to show how cute this drama is. Overall: This is not your usual rom-com, it has depth and rich character developments. Even though it lacked an interesting plot towards the end there was still enough cuteness to go around that I never found a single moment dull. The acting is just soo awesome that I honestly wanted to hug my TV screen a few times. I'm going through a withdrawal right now, I just freaking love this drama. "LOVE OF MIRACLE!!!"
