Love, love, love this one

My rating is 10/10. This is a 2013 South Korean romantic comedy television series with 16, 40 minute, episodes. It is also know as "Cute Guys Next Door" and is based on a webtoon "I Steal Peaks At Him Every Day" by Yoo Hyun-sook based on the webtoon by Yoo Hyun-sook. Go Dok-mi has become agoraphobic after suffering from extreme bullying in high school. She rarely ventures out and her main "escape" is stealing peeks at her handsome neighbor in an apartment directly across from hers. Things change though when her "flower boy" neighbor has a visitor, his younger brother, Enrique Geum (Yoon Shi-yoon), who spent most of his time growing up in Spain. He catches Dok-mi spying on his brother Tae-joon ( and him Park Shin-hye as a lonely girl who never ventures outdoors, but is caught spying on her neighbor across the street by a different guy (Yoon Shi-yoon) Oh Jin-rak is a webtoon artist who lives right next door to Dok-mi and has observed her, and loved her, from afar. He wants her to stay just the way she is and protects her and her privacy. A Japanese visitor who desires to learn Korean cooking also moves in and all of the "flower boys" form a friendship. Once Enrique discovers the reason for Dok-mi's spying he becomes determined to draw her out in the world. Dok-mi becomes the center of attention for two very different men one who wants her to stay as she is and the other who wants her to explore what life has to offer.

Spoiler 🚨 Although I found a few things surprising and not really necessary I really loved this show. I thought, from reading descriptions, that this would be about Dok mi's love from afar of the "flower boy" she had been spying on. But the brother plays only a very minor role and actually leaves quite early in the series. The Japanese neighbor was also such a minor role that it seemed it could have been left out and you would not have noticed much difference. I found her behavior completely understandable as I know several people in my life that have withdrawn for similar reasons. I loved how persistent the men in her life were and how she changed and grew throughout the episodes. The romance was perfect and sweet and the friendships were also very heart warming. It is just a thoroughly enjoyable watch for anyone that loves romantic comedies. I am a huge fan of Park Shin-hye and I thought she played this role perfectly. I had never seen Yoon Shi-yoon in anything that I am aware of but I loved his character so much I will be looking for other things he may be in. I was surprised some rated this lower - maybe they have not experienced agoraphobia and did not find it believable. I am not sure. Because, for me, it had all of the elements needed for a great romance. I was cheering for the characters the whole way.
