The Problematic of the Unproblematic

Will this do instead of a review? ^.^ Dear friends, I am too lazy (or should I say unmotivated?) to write a long farewell post for this show. So many bloggers have already written reviews, good and excellent ones, so you don't need me to write another good one. I'll just do a bad, lazy one then, ok?  The + Let me just say that I enjoyed the show, mostly, for its quietness and its portrayal of normal, everyday people. I also liked it because its episodes were only 45 minutes long. Seriously, KDrama in general would hugely profit from shorter episodes. I liked the way it was shot (especially the subdued colors) and I really liked making gifs, because there were so many funny and cute scenes. It was a veritable gif-fest every Monday and Tuesday! I liked Park Shin-hye's natural beauty and her acting. Though I am nothing like her character, I appreciated the way it was written, and the way she was allowed to change and get over the hurts of her past. I also liked lov...

And so it ends! Fuzzy, fuzzy, warm, warm feelings ... If you're afraid of spoilers, don't read any further and don't look at any of the gifs! Don't say I didn't warn you!! STOP!! Flower Boy Next Door manages to give everybody a happy (or at least good) ending that does not feel forced or rushed. Wow. That must be a first! And the final scene is hilarious. Unfortunately, there are no Jin-rak gifs tonight (apart from a very brief appearance in one) - but let me assure you, things turn out well for him, too. Thought No 1: Thank you, show, for not pairing Jin-rak with Do-hwi. I'm forever grateful. His (future) happiness is related to a cameo by Park Se-Young and I am really glad I finally know why Park Shin-hye posted two twitter pics with her in the last days, cause that really confused me. Thought No 2: Yoon Shi-yoon looks so much better with black hair. I guess I'm glad he only has it for a few minutes and in the last episode; I already have too many K-...

And so it ends. The last episode of Flower Boy Next Door has aired in Korea. We all know that there will be a happy end, which is well deserved. @tvN_Flower has released a last set of BTS-pictures a while ago. It looks as if Enrique and Dok-mi went on a farewell tour ...  ... and then met again after a time jump (hint: Enrique's hair):  And these are some pictures from the last shoot. Lovely. Ah, despite what I said yesterday (that it is good that this show is ending, as it has now come to the end of its story!), I will miss these guys! By the way, Kim Seul-gi has released a song for the OST: 너 땜에 잠이 깨 (Feat. Go Kyung Pyo). This pic is from their recording session. My goodness, they are cute together!!!   ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥

"I was jealous of the ocean because of the way you looked at it" awwwwwwwwwz! ♥♥♥♥ See, I was never too annoyed about the "noble idiocy", because I trusted the writers of this drama to make it different from the usual noble idiocy. Rightly so. He's not buying it and we get some nice and very real interactions between two new lovers, full of insecurity and jealousy. We also get some silly, from both Dok-mi and Enrique, and I must admit that Enrique's antiques are getting a bit old. This drama was wonderful and such an unexpected surprise - but it is okay that this drama is ending tomorrow. And we get the best 2nd lead ever. Oh my god, how I love him... Have I mentioned how much I like Kim Ji-hoon's hair? Hmmm .... I want to ruffle it. And not every man cries prettily. Kim Ji-hoon does. The Awesome Editor is my favorite! Wow! She is the best. In case you don't know yet, she's my girl crush . I want to marry her when I grow up. And ...

Finale week for Flower Boy Next Door ! We are about five hours away from the airing of episode 15 in Korea. @TvN_Flower has released some more pictures (some of them preview material) and it does not look like we are going to get a lot of angst. Which is good. If a show does angst, I want it to a least give us four to five episodes of it. Well... I don't think I want to comment on this look.   Spanish gangster.  This is a picture from Park Shin-hye's birthday last week. I guess this is how much she is allowed to eat? About 100-200 calories worth of birthday cake? Doesn't he look so much better with black hair?! I think this is from the wrap-up party.   Watanabe. He was underused. 

Flower Boy Next Door has finished shooting this week. Unbelievable, it will be over soon! Whatever way they'll take it (angst or noble idocy or not), this show was a big and overall pleasant surprise for me. Sure, the show has its faults ... but altogether, these characters are among the most intriguing I've ever seen in KDrama. And there was Kim Ji-hoon - my newest KDrama love - and his tweets. Well, he has not been quite as active on Twitter these days (maybe because shooting the end was so demanding? Or because he is a little bit depressed, just like his character?), but whenever he does tweet, I so enjoy his humor. Though I only understand half of it. Here are some of his recent Twitter images.  마지막 촬영... 마지막으로 내자리에서 작업해보기 그리울꺼야 내자리 내책상 내의자 "The last shot: Working at my place - I am going to miss this place at my desk" (yeah and I am going to miss you, Kim Ji-hoon, I hope you take on your next drama soon! Maybe it's a 2nd Season of the Joseon X-Files???...
