There were so many wonderful lines of dialogue in this episode of Flower Boy Next Door, still the warmest little drama I’ve watched in ages, but Jin Rok said one that is rather apropos for this stage of the story. He explained that as a kid, when he got a nice present, he would naturally worry what corresponding pain will … Continue reading →
I’m immensely grateful for how Flower Boy Next Door has been promoted because it gives me more goodies to squirrel away. What’s even more appealing is that so much of it involves the cast having fun behind-the-scenes and sharing it with the viewers via tweets or official BTS stills. Park Shin Hye and Yoon Si Yoon are my first OTP … Continue reading →
Already totally loving Yoon Si Yoon makes watching Flower Boy Next Door a unique experience. He’s so perfect in expressing all the nuances and quirks of energy ball Enrique Geum that I’m left just nodding my head and pointing like a proud mother at what my boy is doing. I knew he had it in him, and Me Too, Flower! … Continue reading →
O.M.G. Seriously? SERIOUSLY? I am supposed to wait 6 more days until I get to inject episode 11 of Flower Boy Next Door directly into my veins? I will feel like death before then, because this episode was DA SUPREME BOMB. So much awesome I felt infused with the drama holy spirit and the urge to fling off my clothes … Continue reading →
Another Monday, another lovely episode of Flower Boy Next Door. While the second half of this drama doesn’t suddenly change the tone of the story from humorous and introspective to angst-filled and romance-driven, it does start to increase the stakes for the leads to the point where things are clear if remain unsaid. I’m banking money on Enrique and Dok … Continue reading →
There was a new song introduced in Flower Boy Next Door that was a stark contrast to the peppy uptempo first few songs off the OST. This one is an angsty ballad and it played over the ending sequence for episode 9, which perfectly captures how this drama went from mellow contemplation to cranking up the intensity in a few … Continue reading →
I’m loving Flower Boy Next Door to pieces but it’s not a drama that leads me to claim perfection is in the making. It’s got too many side characters that serve a purpose rather than feel real and well-developed (Tae Joon, Seo Young, Watanabe) while others are slowly getting fleshed out but not in a way that piques my interest … Continue reading →
I love this drama. I love this drama so damn much! Flower Boy Next Door is that perfect slice of cake that I just want to savor and hoard. It’s exactly what I crave right now to bring the magic back to drama watching. Yes, it could falter or even collapse in the second half, but for now I enjoy … Continue reading →
For the first six-episodes Flower Boy Next Door has been decidedly low key, and just the way I like it. It was casual and playful, with an everydayness about it that made watching it a breeze. But a good drama doesn’t just stick with one conceit and beat it to death, it builds upon its premise as the situations presented … Continue reading →
When I watch Flower Boy Next Door, I find myself appreciating it in real time. Normally we fickle beings don’t know a good thing when we see it, more often than not only appreciating things once it’s over. It’s hard to quantify something immediately, especially when there remains an unknown element that can shift the axis later. With that said, … Continue reading →
Flower Boy Next Door continues to be so lovely in its simplicity. There isn’t a lot of story, there is really very little conflict, and in general the story revolves around a group of people going about their day. It ought to be boring but it isn’t. There little details and delicate touches fascinate me. I’m not crazy about this … Continue reading →
The kiss scene at the end of episode 4 of Flower Boy Next Door was quite charming and quaint. Clearly manufactured but doesn’t come off as fake. That’s actually the vibe I get from the entire drama. You know this was written to tell a specific story but its quite believable and refreshing. Despite Park Shin Hye getting to Yoon … Continue reading →
Episode 4 of a 16-episode drama is usually the make or break it point for me as a viewer to consider whether to continue. It’s also usually when I have developed a strong enough impression to project whether this drama triggers one of my more intense feelings of love or hate. By its very construct Flower Boy Next Door is … Continue reading →
