Interest of the Moment: Flower Boy Next Door

Welcome again..

Yesterday, I promise myself that I will give myself some time to post updates to my blog; glad I fulfill it. This recent weeks I suddenly encounter across a drama that I would anticipate it, since my favourite actress was in there (actor??). Well, let's see what's in store for my article, right after this.

Flower Boy Next Door (이웃집 꽃미남, romanised spelling "Yi-ut-jib Kkot-mi-nam") is the drama produce by CJ Entertainment, aired in the cable channel tvN and OnStyle. For those who are familiar with the "Flower Boy" series, I'm sure everyone involved were interested it, after the success of its predecessor "Flower Boy Ramyun Shop" (Jung Il Woo, Lee Chung Ah)  and "Shut Up Flower Boy Band" (Sang Joon, Jung Ui Chul and Infinite's L). The third installment of "Oh Boy" series was highly anticipated by majority of fans, as the star-studded cast Yoon Shi Yoon (Baker King Kim Takgu, High Kick to the Roof) and Park Shin Hye (You're Beautiful, Heartstring) have joined the project. Park Shin Hye was after all, rise into superstardom with hit release of flower boy band drama You're Beautiful, alongside Prince of Asia, Jang Geun Suk, CNBLUE leader Jung Yong Hwa and FT Island frontman Lee Hong Ki. In the drama where Park Shin Hye acted as a girl disguise as a man to fit in the legendary fictional band A.N.Jell, the drama receive explosive success overseas. Yoon Shi Yoon were dubbed "Rating Prince" after his successful lead role portrayed in Baker King, Kim Takgu, reaching 50.8% at its peak.

Flower Boy Next Door is based on the popular webtoon "I Peak At Him Everyday", this rom-com drama is all about a girl named Go Dok Mi (Park Shin Hye) who lock herself in her "tower" trying to peak at a man live next door. However, she was caught spying by Enrique Geum (Yoon Shi Yoon), a genius creative director, who is good-looking, stylish and bohemian and can′t get enough of soccer, who also has his own problem that can relate to. Go Dok Mi is modeled as a "city Rapunzel" who never ventures outdoors, yet has her own set of charms that makes men flutter.

Along the cast who also involved in this project are Park Soo Jin, who will provide antagonistic elements in the drama, Kim Yoon Hye (formerly known as Woori, Shin Hye's castmate in "Heartstring"), and Kim Seul Gi (the quirky webtoon editor in the series).

I really anticipate it, and so do you the reader, I hope.
