Flower Boy Next Door’s first script read
by girlfriday
Whee, production is underway for the next installment of tvN’s Oh Boy series: this time we have Flower Boy Next Door, starring Park Shin-hye as a lonely girl locked away in her room, where she spends her days peeping at her hot neighbor. Hey, girl’s gotta have hobbies. I’m picturing a comedic Rear Window setup, where Park Shin-hye is Jimmy Stewart, and there’s a little less murder and a lot more eye candy. Huh, come to think of it, isn’t there a Miss Lonelyhearts in that movie too?
The drama is based on a popular webtoon called I Steal Peeks At Him Every Day, and Park Shin-hye stars as a girl who shuts herself away in her house because of an emotional scar. But her hottie neighbor Kim Ji-hoon catches her eye (and how could he not?), so she starts spending her days peeping on him.
Problem is, she gets caught red-handed by another neighbor (Yoon Shi-yoon), and thus begins the real love story, face-to-face and (hopefully) not requiring any binoculars. True to the flower boy franchise, our heroine will be surrounded by a gaggle of pretty flower boys everywhere she turns, which is just the way we like it. Go Kyung-pyo rounds out the flower boy gang as Kim Ji-hoon’s assistant and freeloading friend, and Kim Yoon-hye (Woori) plays Yoon Shi-yoon’s best friend and first love. Eek, a tough combo to beat.
The drama is described as fresh and fun, which is exactly what I expect from the franchise and in particular from the director of Flower Boy Ramyun Shop, which pretty much felt like a comic book come to life, in all its silly, crazy, and adorable glory. The premise sounds cute, the franchise has pedigree in my book with two for two fantastic shows under its belt, and with this cast assembled, I’m just checking my watch every five minutes till premiere. Are we there yet?
Flower Boy Next Door hits the air January 7 on tvN.

No Rain, because I am not stupid and Joanne will kill me.

Chup is the Malay and hokkien version of MINE-ing. Pronounced like a very short choop and not like cup, with a 'h'.. Sorry if am not very clear.. It's just a childish way to say, MINE in Malay and hokkien is all. :)

Oh, Jomo. You are trying to convinve us all that he "just slept" (nudge, nudge, wink wink)? Really? Then why does he look like that? People do not look like that after a good night's sleep. But if that's your story . . .
WOW. It really should not be legal that he can look that good just rolling out of bed and clothed.

I had to respond to this one....YES! Seriously both Flower Boy Raymun Shop and Shut Up Flower Boy Band are excellent dramas. You won't be sorry for taking the time to watch both of them.
I can't wait for this one. I know it's been said already, but damn Kim Jim Hoon looks sooooo hot all scruffy with that just tumbled out of bed look. No wonder Shin Hye spends her time looking at him. I'd get the binos out for a peak at that too!

Yep, also excited about January 7. I actually like that the heroine is not just surrounded by a gaggle of flower boys. So far, we know there is at least three main female characters in this drama. Also, I have to say, when I think of the previous two installment, it was the story that was the main draw for me. I've dump plenty of drama's with all pretty and no substance. The Flower Boy series is GOOD. Give it a try, if you haven't yet, people. :-)

On a sidenote, I feel like the drama/anime gods are finally listening to me, since most of my mangas/webtoons are now coming to tv as either animes or dramas~
If anyone wants to read the webtoon, it's here http://cartoon.media.daum.net/webtoon/view/peekinghim (main page) and the first comic (the author calls 'em episodes.. so perfect~) http://cartoon.media.daum.net/webtoon/viewer/12035 is here ^u^

And... hopefully we'll be getting that same first encounter with PSH and YSY. I mean, the 'he's only wearing boxes' one :D

Thanks, Nutella. I finished the webtoon (in less than a day, i know >.<) Webtoon is really good. If they keep the characters same, Jang Geun Suk would have been very good for the main lead. The character's personality is exactly like JGS's, I was actually picturing JGS's face while reading the webtoon. I feel like the character is something YSY hasn't done before (granted, I only watched him in Baker King). Hope he does the wacky character of "Enrique Kim" the justice.

I am looking forward to as many girl up against the wall scenes as there were in FBRS, too. I don't know why but that just gets to me right there.
I am looking forward to our main girl giving as good as she gets, too, like Eun bi, right? And no wide-eyed slow-mo reactions to kisses.

Shin-hye probably got tired of taking major network roles where she's forced to stand still and "endure" the kissing... so she signed up for a tvN drama to get a proper kiss.
And, well, if QIHM's director's cut is any indication: http://joonni.com/2012/09/24/the-hot-and-steamy-ending-of-queen-in-hyuns-man-directors-cut/

The eps are only 45 mins, so there are no filler scenes anywhere. They edit the show so that while you are watching, it keeps you off balance, and a little confused, but when it is over, you get it. It looks and feels like a film more than tv. Dialog is sparse.
Genre is a very cool sci-fi + historical. Like JB nicknamed it perfectly: Joseon X-Files. The actual title is Secret Investigative Report.
The color palette is very high contrast. Lots of darks against brights, and supersaturated images.
Some of the episodes were more like Memento or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, or maybe a much more expensive Dr. Who. Some of them were downright harrowing, but even then, some parts were really really funny.
The main three actors are wonderful together and separate, bringing you into their world very quickly.
Plus you get Kim Gab-soo, which is always a plus.
If you like head-scratchers, and filling in the blanks (I do!) you will like this. KJH went into the army after it aired, so there was no second season, but if they could get the band back together again for more shows, it would be AWESOME!!

Please, please, please be better than Ramyun Shop. I don't know about everyone else, but that drama was only entertaining for the first 8 or so episodes; once it entered the double digits, it just lost its charm and fell upon typical K-drama cliches. It didn't help that I didn't care for the main pairing, either.
I'm really in the mood for a decent romcom.

Me too Enz. Oh, how I adore FBRS. It's on my favorites of all time list. My list is not large. Yes it had cliched tropes. It also had a different spin on some things. Such as the second female lead that was albeit annoying, not really out to get the female lead, and was pretty modern and liberal and up front about dating multiple guys at the same time. Also such as Eun Bi battling her way to the ivory tower armed with her trusty plunger to "save" her beloved from being controlled by his father for the rest of his life. That show is just rich, I could be here for days if I start thinking lol. I could write a paper on that show, probably a thesis for graduate study, and have a plethora of subject matter to choose from.
Plus it was just a fun ride. I recently started watching it again and I just laugh out loud.

Really CAN NOT wait for the new drama. Same director.. I loved the feel of FBRS

I didn't like Ramen Shop much either. I remember thinking that I just didn't understand the humour. And the main pairing didn't work for me either, which still surprises me. Normally I'm on the side of the OTP by the final episode, but with Ramen Shop it just did not compute.
But Shut Up rocked. Pun intentional.

Omg, with the linking of hands? It was possibly the most tender moment I've seen in a kdrama. Sigh... memories...
Agreed about Ramyun shop, although possibly I didn't watch it enough to form a proper opinion. I had a similar problem with it that I did with Best Love - the humour was too obvious, and I think I found it hard to penetrate the shallow exterior and connect. I still wouldn't say it was bad, just not awesomesauce like Shut Up was.

Yang eun bi is one of my fave female characters in k dramas. I haven't watched all that many though. Everyone's different ..

Eu Bi was totally annoying at first. Then somewhere along the way she found her ovaries, that fortitude kicked it, and she became a great character.
It's true, everyone is different and personal taste is personal taste and that is okay. Me, I never made it through Shut Up. It didn't suck me in, and I didn't care for the leads, so it had to suck me in to get me to watch and that did not happen. (Ducks). I will not mention any other shows or actors I don't care for tho, I might get cut lol.
Anyhoo, looking forward to these new flowers blooming this winter!

I never found eun bi annoying. I liked her from the start.. Her being this emotional, insecure person with a hot temper. Who also agonized about what she wants vs what she is expected to want. I found it all relatable..
As for SUFFB, I tried the first episode but couldn't finish.. I wanna try again coz everyone says its so great and I know my niece tried three times before she made past first epi and said it was great. So, can't comment on SUFFB yet.

Can someone tell me the point of script reading? Do they do this in the US? I have never seen a news about script reading here in the US.

Script-readings are like rehearsal without worrying about costumes or action. I figure it helps minimise any surprises about where characters get taken or pronunciation, dialogue flow etc, so the actors have an idea of what to expect from each other (and the director & scriptwriter/s) when they start shooting.
I'm pretty sure they always happen, it's just that entertainment media doesn't keep such a close eye on the dramas. I could be wrong.

What Nanaki said, I also suppose it's to go over thing and just to help people memorize their lines better and go over the story/ make some changes if need be.
& yes! They do them in the US too :D

Script readings are the first time the whole cast is assembled.
I am sure they happen in the states, but are not covered by the press.
The US film and TV industry is a whole lot larger, with so many production companies, working to air shows on how many channels now? There are a finite amount of events they can put in front of cameras.
We also don't have prayer ceremonies, or big press conferences for new shows, except for quality (SARCASM!!!) entertainment like The Jersey Shore, Dancing with the Stars or Kate plus 8.
I think we are used to seeing canned press releases that we don't read in news sources like Variety!

why would they pick a 31 year old for this role >_>
it's flower "boy"....
hope they are good actors to make up for their looks..
i meant their good looking but for a drama that seems to be centered on looks..eh..
either have awesome acting and be meh..or look good and have mediocre acting :)
anyway..i really like flower boy ramyun shop so hopefully this is good!

lmao you can't be serious right?
you are either trolling or pretty new to Kdramas then. There are so much hype on this drama for reasons ( where the 1st and 2nd series were good but the hypes were no where close to this)
tsk tsk

If you are new or have no idea who they are or how their acting like, google is your friends ^^
I can give you a hand too
Park Shin Hye: you're beautiful and Tree of heaven, Don't worry I'm a ghost, Heartstrings etc... ( l love all her works tbh)
KJH: Love marriage and Stars falling from the sky
Yoon Shi Yoon: Baker King and Me too flower
I'm not saying bad ab FBRS, because I enjoyed it too, but besides the main actor everyone were newbies and pretty unknown, unlike these casts.
These main actors were also the first choice of PD and writer when they wrote the script, who have both look, talent and name/popularity
And if you don't know much ab them do some research before "insulting" them
It's already been a question why they would agree to do a cable drama (Shinhye actually rejected a SBS drama to do this). And the 32 yr-old you said, usually play main role but he accepted the 2nd role here :)
The only answer is they must really like the script/ characters

Uhhh.... Lee Ki Woo who was in Flower Boy Ramyun Shop is also 31. So... does it really matter?
Yoon Siyoon's a pretty good actor, so I don't think we anything to worry about.
