Considering how I excited I was to have this, it took me about three times before I seriously considered doing a marathon. And instead of consenting to having my older sister skip to the end the second time around and no mom to scold me for my constant abuse of the fast forward button, I poured my boredom into giving it my full attention. Fueled by love for the song Like A Child and Yoon Shi Yoon (who ironically enough, was the same reason I discovered the song in the first place), I watched all 20 episodes. And unlike what the initial episodes led me to believe, it was fun. It bothered me that they immediately cut off and resolved Enrique's issues with his so called first love from the get go,among other questionable things. Can't exactly compare it to the webtoon since I haven't read it but it felt rushed in some parts despite the enjoyable cast. I really wished Watanabe-san had more screentime though. The romance is lighthearted for the lack of better word. The way Go Dok Mi (Park Shin hye) made faces that broadcasted her thoughts to Enrique Geum is hilarious. All in all, I love Yoon Shi Yoon's portrayal of the childish but lovable Enrique Geum who offends people on a daily basis and Park Shin hye for making me focus on the social recluse Dok Mi instead of her real life image.The supporting cast, from the overworked and sleep deprived editor to the apartment's security guard, also helped a lot in the decision to not drop this. The music is fun, I especially love Romantic Punch's Ready Merry Go! since it suited the drama's overall atmosphere. Special mention to Lee Jung's Wish It Was You. Rewatched value? For Enrique Geum, maybe a five. I just love this forever smiling self proclaimed genius. Overall, Flower Boy Next Door is exactly what it says on the tin. Though unlike its predecessors, I prefer this particular Flower Boy drama the most.
