27. Flower Boy Ramen Shop 꽃미남 라면가게 (2011) Korean

Jung Il Woo, Lee Chung Ah, Lee Ki Woo

Drama Rating: 8/10      Neck Score: A+

The first in a series of Flower Boy shows that all have the same basic standard.  Four extremely hot flower boys surrounding one normal girl, for whatever reason.  This one is still the best of all of them, but the others are good too.  Also, this one is the best if you happen to be a noona (which I am), since this is a noona romance.  I tried to get my little sister to watch it and she just couldn't get into it in the same way.  Eun Bi (Lee Chung Ah) is trying to be a teacher, but she runs into Cha Chi Soo (Jung Il Woo) who is a high school student, and she ends up having to take over her father's ramen shop along with Pillar (Lee Ki Woo) who was trained by her father and given the shop and her (so that he calls her his wife) and three hot high school boys who respectively call her noona, teacher, and honey.  So well written, so funny, so delightful.
