Flower Boy Next Door
Director: Jung Jung-hwa
Cast: Park Shin-hye, Yoon Shi-yoon, Kim Ji-hoon
Go Dok-mi (in Korean, literally "lonely beauty") is a shy, frugal
freelance copy editor who, for a yet-to-be-revealed reason, refuses to
leave her apartment or interact with people as much as possible. Every
day, she anonymously receives a carton of milk with a post-it attached.
Every day, using a pair of yellow binoculars, she steals peeks at her
neighbor across the street, Han Tae-joon, as he goes through his daily
morning routine. The last time she was outside, in a park on an autumn
day, she had fallen in love with Tae-joon at first sight, following him
and watching as he picked up a puppy in a box and took it home. When she
looked out her window and saw him living in the apartment opposite
hers, she thought of it as fate.
Webtoon
artist Oh Jin-rak lives in the same apartment building as Dok-mi. He
and his drawing partner Oh Dong-hoon have just finished their latest
webtoon "Zombie Soccer," but it wasn't picked up because it supposedly
plagiarized a video game by Enrique Geum. Jin-rak pitches a new story to
persuade his editor Kim Seul-gi: the daily life of this one girl
trapped in her apartment, and how her next-door neighbor draws her out
into the world... and it'll be called "Flower Boy Next Door."
Enrique Geum arrives in Seoul from Spain, his reason for coming is
"cupid's arrow." Though he's in love with his best friend Yoon
Seo-young, she has feelings instead for his older cousin, Han Tae-joon,
so he intends to play cupid for the two.
When Enrique comes to stay at Tae-joon's apartment, he catches Dok-mi
in the act. That same day, a new neighbor Watanabe Ryu moves into the
apartment across to Dok-mi's (Jin-rak lives next door). And with all
these new men suddenly entering her life, Dok-mi's solitary and orderly
world is turned upside down.
