Synopsis
Go Dok Mi doesn't spend all day dreaming about her knight in shining armor — she’s too busy spying on her neighbors who all happen to be hot, "flower-boy" types, including cartoon artist Oh Jin Rak. But when Enrique Geum, the new pretty boy next door, catches her, Dok Mi is finally forced to face the consequences - without the safety of binoculars and curtains. Will he be able to convince this “urban Rapunzel” to let her hair down? Whether you’re a lover or a fighter, this sensitive man will captivate your sensibilities.

Editor's Review
“Flower Boy Next Door” is a delightful K-drama that revolves around unrequited love triangles, quirky characters, and a touch of voyeurism. Let’s dive into the reasons why you should give this drama a chance, along with a few caveats.
- Enrique Geum: The heart of the show, Enrique, played by Yoon Shi-yoon, steals the spotlight. His carefree personality, infectious laughter, and genuine kindness make him an endearing character. You’ll root for him from the very beginning.
- Unique Characters: Unlike typical K-drama tropes, the heartthrobs in this series aren’t arrogant jerks. Each character has depth, and their interactions feel authentic. From Watanabe to the girl with under-eye bags, everyone adds a layer of humor and warmth.
- Hilarious Moments: Prepare to laugh out loud! The drama serves up falsetto battles, comically bad Spanish accents, and unexpected mafia scenes. The witty dialogue and playful situations keep you entertained throughout.
- Jaw-Dropping OST: The soundtrack features J Rabbit and other talented artists. Their sweet melodies perfectly complement the story. Plus, the sound effects enhance the viewing experience.
However, there are a couple of aspects to consider:
- Go Dok Mi: Our protagonist, Go Dok Mi (played by Park Shin-hye), starts off intriguingly as a shut-in Miss Lonelyhearts. However, her character becomes somewhat frustrating as the drama progresses. She embodies the “Mary Sue” trope—a perfect flower who bends with the wind but faces constant attacks. Fortunately, her growth in the final episode redeems her.
- Mid-Drama Slump: Around episode 9, the plot hits a rough patch. Unnecessary drama creeps in, and it feels like the writers are stretching the story. Thankfully, the fantastic last episode compensates for this hiccup.
In summary, “Flower Boy Next Door” offers a refreshing take on romance, friendship, and personal growth. If you’re in the mood for a light-hearted series with memorable characters, give it a shot. Just manage your expectations, and you’ll enjoy the ride!
