Still-a-palooza for Flower Boy Next Door
by girlfriday
Stills, stills, and even more stills! We’re just over a week away from the premiere of tvN’s new rom-com Flower Boy Next Door, but if the wait is killing you (like it is for some of us ’round these parts), here’s a whole lot of cuteness for you. Prepare to suffer from I-wanna-take-that-puppy-home-itis. If the stills from the poster shoot are this cute, what on earth will we do when the drama arrives?
A quick introduction to our three leads: Park Shin-hye plays Go Dok-mi (meaning literally “Lonely Beauty”), a solitary girl who locks herself up in her apartment and lives a rather unusual life. No one knows what trauma in her past caused her to lock herself away, but Dok-mi doesn’t engage with the outside world, and chooses to stay in her apartment-bubble as much as humanly possible. The one hobby she has that keeps her happy is peeping on her across-the-hall neighbor, whom she fantasizes about as being the perfect man.
Yoon Shi-yoon is Enrique Geum, a golden boy (hence the last name meaning “gold”), who has spent most of his life in Spain. His nickname is Kkae-geum, which doesn’t mean much other than “sesame gold,” but it’s the last two syllables of his name, which cracks me up — it’d be the (mistaken) way a Korean person would interpret his first name. Enrique returns to Korea and moves into, of all places, Mr. Perfect’s apartment. Dok-mi doesn’t realize it, and he catches her peeping at him expecting someone else entirely. She’s used to being invisible, but he’s determined to track this peeping tom down…
And then we have Kim Ji-hoon who plays Oh Jin-rak, our heroine’s next-door neighbor. He’s a webtoon artist who never bothers to comb his hair or wear anything other than a tracksuit, and keeps backwards nighttime hours because of his job. He’s the only person in the building who’s ever even noticed Dok-mi, but he knows all about her strange life and looks out for her in little ways. He even takes to communicating with her via post-it to encourage her. (HOW CUTE IS THAT?) But when the cocky Enrique arrives, he starts to worm his way into Dok-mi’s world too, and Jin-rak suddenly finds himself having to fight for Miss Lonelyhearts. Something tells me you’re gonna need to up your game from post-its.
Can’t. Wait. Flower Boy Next Door premieres January 7 on tvN.

I hope Kim Ji Hoon gets the girl! I hated the first Flower Boy becaus the girl (even though she was irritating) chose the wrong guy!

Awww, I see so little people rooting for Mr. Main Lead.
Well, I have never been the type to suffer from the Second Lead Syndrome. And I do love Yoon Shi Yoon, so I'll be cheering him on! :) I hope this drama will be great~

Less fans with grabby hands on YSY = More for us. :) And anyway, I'm waiting for the reluctant ones to fall for him pretty quickly once he turns on the charm (starting with the VOICE).

I hope dramabeans recaps every episode. I haven't seen any subbing sites for this. Is there tvN in US cable??? I wish my departure will be late Feb, I want to finish this drama first!
PSH is so adorable. I vote for the second lead too!

So, Ji-Hoon is not Mr. Perfect? (I mean, in drama land, of course! haha) But I can totally see him as the perfect second lead, silently supportive.. I'm totally going to have a heartbreak because of him.

Am I the only one getting annoyed by every actor and actress having the same teeth? As soon as they have the money, they put in veneers... I liked Yoon Shi Yoon's slightly crooked front teeth..it made him different.

I will be waiting for dramabeans' recap.
I just hope the producers stick with the original script rather than change gear in the middle because the rating was less than what was expected.
BTW - Read somewhere that Park Shin Hye is visiting the Philippines in March2013.

This sounds so unbelievably cute with a hint of something more meaningful. I like it :D and oh god Kim Ji Hoon...why do you have to be the second lead? Don't you know my heart and libido root for you automatically? At least do me a favor and get the girl! Gahhhh

We had our share of phobic guys the last years... I like the fact than they are using the trope for the main female character this time. After a depressive woman in M2F, YSY will have to deal with an agoraphobic. Ah... Our savior! ;)
