36. Flower Boy Next Door 이웃집 꽃미남 (2013) Korean

Park Shin Hye, Yoon Si Yoon, Kim Ji Hoon, Park Soo Jin

Drama Rating: 7/10      Neck Score: A

This is the one where I was "He doesn't look very cute" about some of the promo posters, and then the instant that I saw Yoon Si Yoon on screen I had like that cartoon hearts in my eyes moment.  I don't love the cute style of boys, but I do like them a bit.  But I especially love Yoon Si Yoon.  Also, this is the third of the Flower Boy series and it too has four really hot flower boys surrounding the normal girl.  They all live next door to her.  Two right next door, one across the hall, and one in the build right across where the windows face each other, close enough to see into each other's houses.  This one is about a recluse girl who has some kind of PTSD type deal that turns her into a recluse, to the point where she doesn't talk to people, hates door bells/knocking, and leaving her apartment in general.  She does like watching the handsome boy who lives in the across building.  One of the boys next door loves her, but doesn't try super hard to disturb her.  He's the watchy other guy type.  Then Enrique (Yoon Si Yoon), moves into the across building, notices that they're being watches, and confronts her, doing everything she hates.  Ringing the doorbell, banging on her door, shouting, and demanding interaction.  After the misunderstanding is cleared up, he decides to befriend her, forcing her out of her recluse habits.  Basically Enrique is a polar opposite: ball of energy, friendly, nosy, loud, and super fast talking sunny disposition.  He's adorable.  Also, he loves scarves.  Probably cause  it's winter and he's supposed to be from Spain.  He speaks pretty good Spanish.  Anyways, it's super funny too, although the writing on this one isn't as good, it's still super enjoyable.  It's upbeat and cheerful to watch.  Also, love the side romance in this one way more than in the other ones.

24. Save the Last Dance for Me 마지막 춤은 나와 함께 (2004) Korean

Ji Sung, Eugene, Lee Bo Young, Ryu Soo Young

Drama Rating: 3/10      Neck Score: B

This show is awful.  It's a double amnesia plot meaning he gets amnesia in a car accident where he forgets who he is, and then gets into another accident that makes him remember everything, but forget the year when he didn't know who he was.  Ji Sung is adorable when he doesn't remember who he is, but then he acts like a jerk when he can't remember Eugene, who he fell in love with during the year he was missing.  But she goes looking for him and that ugly necked other guy is just weird.  And then she becomes crippled in a car accident meant for Ji Sung.  Also, Lee Bo Young is this clingy possessive chick who goes cray cray because she's so obsessed with Ji Sung.  We know what's great about that scenario (knowing grin).  Those two are married now.  I believe this was the drama they met in, but I could be wrong.
