I've finally completed the 16 episode long Flower Boy Next Door.
While watching this drama, I got a sense of what Go Dok-Mi was feeling - happiness. I sometimes like being locked up in my room and it's not suffocating at all. I don't even know why some people find it so when having to deal with people everyday is (for me) more stifling. When I'm by myself, I get to decide on my own, do things on my own and hear myself think without being judged whatsoever. Besides that, being in my pajamas, drinking hot coffee and not being afraid of sometimes crying my eyes out because of some drama is my kind of life style. That works for me better because it's comfy and cozy. I'm not anti-social, let me clarify that. It's just that there are those times when human interaction gets so annoying, stressful, and just downright twisted that you sometimes want to cut relations just for a mean time.
I remember I took a test on how I deal with problems. My result turned out to be both avoiding and competing. Avoiding means I dodge problems hoping that time will heal all things. Competing is when I speak my mind out. Two opposing values, and I got both of them. I guess I'm that type of person who could switch from being an introvert to an extrovert. I can attest to that because it was also shown on my personality tests. I'm a pretty average person. I used to hate the thought but now I don't. Best of both worlds.
So this post turned out to be about me, sorry. Hahaha. So yeah, about the drama.. it's when two opposites meet - the introvert and the extrovert. Go Dok-Mi, as mentioned, was a recluse. She became so because of a painful past. Enrique, her neighbor, made her see what she was missing all this time. And that's pretty much it. Actually if it were me in her position, I would have find Enrique quite annoying. You know those extroverts who try to burst your comfy bubble? He's kinda like that. I like that he's persistent but sometimes, you can't force people to like what you like at once. Instead of bursting the bubble, why not try to slowly enter the bubble. Give them time and understand why they live that way.
Good but not great. Cute ending though.
