[K-Drama Review] Flower Boy Next Door

Flower Boy Next Door (2013)




This is a drama about a girl, Go Dok Mi who is a shut-in Miss Lonelyhearts type, who spends her days spying on the man living in next building. She is caught spying by her other neighbor, Enrique Geum. Meanwhile, Oh Jin Rok is the man who notices her from long ago, and knows everything about her and will fall in love with her. Go Dok Mi is a ′city Rapunzel′ who never ventures outdoors, yet has her own set of charms that makes men go weak. Oh Jin Rok is a scruffy manhwa artist. Enrique Geum is a genius creative director, who is good-looking, stylish and bohemian and can′t get enough of soccer. He will form a love line with Go Dok Mi.

Intro:
Park Shin Hye is a popular actress and the synopsis of this drama was interesting to me so I tried it out!

Story:
It started off funny and cute and I really liked the characters, even the slightly annoying ones (they were just at the right level of being annoying). Sadly it did sort of dragged a bit in around the middle which did hurt it a bit but luckily they were able to bring it back round and finish it reasonably well.

Acting / Cast:
The acting was great in this one. Kim Seul Gi and Go Kyung Pyo were so cute together and sometimes even stole the show here and there which probably helped at the parts when the drama struggled. Check this out: here
Music:
I really like the upbeat title track, it's awesome. The soundtrack overall is really good and memorable, so definitely a strong point in this drama.

Overall:
Even though I do think that you should watch this drama at some point for sure, but I don't think it is one of the best and it wouldn't certainly go into my favourites.

My Score : 8/10 (I like it)
