She is satisfied with her small existence, but the arrival of Enrique (played by Yoon Shi Yoon), a charismatic game developer with a childlike approach to life, drags her out of her safe life and thrusts her into the social community of their apartment building. Locked up in her small apartment, she entertains herself with books and peeps on the attractive male neighbor whose apartment she can see into through her window (with the help of some binoculars). Overall, the drama is very interesting in spite of its ending and is worth a watch.īased on a webtoon of the same name created by Hyun Suk Yu, “Flower Boy Next Door” follows Ko Dok Mi (played by Park Shin Hye), an introvert who, after a bad experience in school, has hidden herself away from the outside world.
The character design and wardrobe are also very well done, and the performances were gripping. The movie almost feels like an accompaniment to the drama as opposed to a standalone project.ĭespite its pitfalls, the drama creates a visual aesthetic that perfectly matches the webtoon. While it may do so for some, the movie falls short of the drama and the webtoon in that its short runtime can only provide so much context and character background to keep viewers engaged and really caring about the story and its conclusion. The ending of the drama was such a point of controversy that a feature length movie was produced to hopefully provide a more satisfying ending.
However, the direction they chose made some fans angry and others confused. It is important to note that at the time of the production, the webtoon was not completed, so the writers of the show planned to go in their own direction. For many, the ending was a disappointment, and some plot lines, or should I say, the focus of some plot lines over others were changed from the original webtoon-turned-drama.
“Cheese In The Trap” might be a controversial entry in this list, and understandably so. Seol tackles her anxieties towards him as he pursues her, seemingly intrigued by her ability to see underneath his performance. This drama follows Hong Seol (played by Kim Go Eun), a struggling student who notices a darker side to the popular man on campus (played by Park Hae Jin).
