Go Kyung-pyo joins Flower Boy Next Door

70 November 15, 2012November 15, 2012

by javabeans

Aw, the cast just gets cuter. Go Kyung-pyo has come onboard tvN’s Flower Boy Next Door, which makes me happy since I love him.

Go Kyung-pyo has really only been active in the industry for about a year—he debuted in 2010 but the majority of titles on his resumé come from 2012—but despite the newness of his presence, he’s had a solid rise. I wouldn’t say he’s ready to be called famous or a star yet, but he’s really gained a lot of traction this year. I saw him for the first time last December in SNL Korea; he was also in God’s Quiz 3, played part of Yoo Seung-ho’s posse in Operation Proposal, then turned into a surprisingly endearing idiot for Standby.

That means he’s joining Park Shin-hye, who plays the lonely young woman who sneaks peeks at her hottie neighbor (Kim Ji-hoon) and gets caught by Yoon Shi-yoon, with whom she then embarks on a cute, light-hearted romance. Go Kyung-pyo’s character possess “chic looks,” which is a departure from his adorable dimwit image, but that doesn’t mean he still can’t be funny. He’ll be the assistant to Kim Ji-hoon’s webtoon writer/artist and also freeloads off him, and is known around the neighborhood for his wiles.

Flower Boy Next Door (or maybe it’s more accurate to say Flower Boys, plural) premieres January 7. I think it’s a bit of an understatement to say I am looking forward to it. *tries to contain self* *fails*

That's because Suho is Siwon & Kyuhyun's son. And Go Gyeong-pyo is Siwon's lost brother who even Siwon doesn't even recognize...XP

Seriously, is it 2013 yet?
On a sidenote, I adore those roles of manager / assistant / shadow of the main (assy) characters in dramas. They often steal the light by creating a complicity with the viewer. *Side glances and knowing smiles*.

Also, impatiently waiting. Out of all the new shows premiering in the near future, this one has a built-in respected reputation for me due to the previous two installment. I know it will be well written and with a big dose of heart.
It also helps that I like the leads and have been missing Park Shin-hye for awhile now, but honestly, I'm here for the show and the cast is 2nd.

I would say that i'm marking my calender right now, but, I already did that a LOOOOONG time ago.

I really liked him in God's Quiz 3 (he played charisma and diabolical pretty fine by me)
I couldn't believe my eyes that he is the same guy as the high schooler of Stand By. More he played a 30 years old character while he is so young. For Yoo Seung Ho is the norm, but for him is soooo unexpected.

November 15, 2012 at 9:32 PM

Ah, yes. I was wondering if he's the one posing as the fake Siwon in SNL's Suju episode. At that time he's the spitting image of Siwon. I was totally fooled. :D

Yes, the Siwon look-a-like in SNL. S2 finale to be exact when SuJu guested. XD

@Fab Go Gyeong-pyo's the Siwon look-a-like without the bulk in the body. Plus Shibrows-a-like. XD But you're right, Siwon WAS young in Spring Waltz. Pre-Hyangdan. XD

@cheekbones Yes that's him. XD True he's the spitting image of Siwon. Though sadly Siwon doesn't think such a thing existed. XP It was in allkpop, where our derpy horse doesn't even recognize Gyeong-pyo as his look-a-like. XD

This is gonna be interesting.

( I really wish someday he can act along with Siwon. They can be brothers, if twins is too far fetched.. )

January 8, 2013 at 11:07 PM

Actually, they ARE brothers (LOL), and Siwon's too adamant to recognize him as such LOL!!! Nah, Siwon doesn't recognize Gyeong-pyo as a look-a-like, the dumb horse. XD

And since somone mentioned Suho, and Suho is by default WonKyu lovechild, Gyeong-pyo is the uncle!
