Before you continue reading, I critizie dramas. A lot. Unless I am blinded and turned into a gooey marshmallow because of all the sweet cute gooey moments. Now, I expected a lot of cute gooey marshmallow moments in the Flower Boy Next door. Why? 1. The name itself is built for sugary chocolatey goodness. 2. The lead characters looked like all flowery and sugary 3. The previews gave the distinct impression of lurve and cute moments Did I get what I expected? Sadly, buckets of tears sadly, the is NO. Go Dok Mi was eccentric, unique... depressed, lonely and gloomy and she liked it! I enjoyed that difference and style. Enrique was the complete opposite… loud proud fun and constantly happy. I enjoyed that too. I felt that with such wonderful character profiles, and such enthusiastic actors… things would have just been absolute fireworks and passion and fun. This was not to be. Enrique’s talkative loud self became too harsh on the ears and eyes. Go Dok Mi didn’t seem to mature/grow….. Jin Rak’s love story lingered to the point of ripping my sister’s eyeballs out from irritation (some times you have to know when to give up on a gal, especially if her eyes start sparkling at the mention and sight of another guy) and Cha Do Hwi was such an ANNOYING fly that I just wanted to SWAT her from the get go. (And what was the point of bringing in Watanabe if he created Zero Laughs??) Their (Enrique and Dok Mi) relationship didn’t seem to grow well either. There were moments (a LOT) where Enrique seemed to be doing all the work, and the brief time Dok Mi tried (like TWICE maximum, if even that) seemed like there was zero emotion/effort in it. Aside from these complaints- it was alright to watch and just a bit of fluff to pass away the time. Nothing too exciting, with some fun bits thrown in for laughs (look out for the webtoon editor, she is AWESOME, and because of this, I’ve added an extra thumbs up), but nothing I’d recommend to watch for a second time, and certainly not a must see of 2013... unless you wanna fastforward through the episodes and find our lovely Webtoon Editor.
