The story was beautiful, much better than I expected at the start. There are quite a few plot twists here and there, and that made the story very exciting and interesting.
The cast was WONDERFUL. This is one of Hikari Mitsushima's best performances ever (only surpassed by her performance in Woman, another beautiful drama). Eita was fantastic too, he is quickly becoming one of my favourite japanese actors. Shinobu Otake, Shunsuke Kazama, Jun Fubuki and Saburo Okito were great too.
The music was the worst aspect of this drama, but it was good anyway.
It's certainly hard to watch, and the story is VERY dark at times, but I recommend it to everyone who is a fan of Eita or Hikari Mitsushima, and to those who are looking for a great story.

It also doesn’t hurt that they’re portrayed by a group of incredibly likable actors, led by the lovely, expressive Park Shin Hye. A longtime veteran of dramas like You’re Beautiful and Heartstrings, Shin Hye is able to convey with a single look what would require a thousand lines of dialogue to say. She takes a journey with Dok Mi—from the beginning of the drama to its end, her bashful, downward-staring attitude evolves into the straight-backed posture of someone who knows her own worth.
The ever-handsome Yoon Si Yoon as Enrique proves to be her perfect foil: his childlike candor and propensity toward panda suits is tempered with a powerful sense of empathy and tenderness. He’s an utter contrast to the typical male lead in Kdrama romcoms—instead of being distant and cold, he’s like a burst of sunshine in a dark room. He isn’t prickly and doesn’t withhold his emotions; he gladly shares his heart and his mind with everyone he meets.
The webtoon artists next door were adorable and just really good guys, not to mention totally hot. I'm not really sure why the Japanese guy existed since he kind of appeared out of nowhere, did not push the plot forward at all, and then made an odd exit, but at least he was cute and added to the number of flower boys next door.
Another of Flower Boy Next Door’s primary charms is that it’s not afraid of emotion, much like Enrique. The best of its episodes spend more time on characters talking about their feelings than they do on things like narrative or plot development: emotions serve as the show’s spine and its unifying principle. Most dramas revolve around circumstances that change—Amnesia! Cancer! Birth secrets! Corporate jockeying for power!—but Flower Boy Next Door is so very rewarding to the receptive viewer because it revolves around people that change.
Flower Boy Next Door does an amazing job on the micro level: it creates lovely moments and its characters are lavished with development. From Dok Mi going against her frugal nature to turn up her apartment’s heat whenever Enrique visits, to the evolution of the dark circles under the webtoon editor’s eyes, its meticulous attention to detail and the building-blocks of atmosphere make the show a transporting delight.
Everything about Flower Boy Next Door is beautiful and striking, from its blue/grey/orange color palate to its perfectly chosen props and cadre of dreamy flower boy leads. Throughout, developments in the characters are reflected perfectly in their surroundings. Early on, the drapes in Dok Mi’s apartment are like another character in the show: they’re always present, dark and heavy and made for blocking out the world. But when we’re reintroduced to Dok Mi after the time jump in episode 16, we see that the forbidding drapes are no more. In their place are a set of sheer, floaty curtains that let the daylight stream into her apartment—and into her life.
Through it all, this show is consistently funny and charming, and, its biggest attribute is that it never loses sight of the fact that this is where its heart lies. The other thing going for this series is that it's sixteen 40 minute episodes…Love This Format!!!...Very little time for filler or dragging things out, and everything's usually pretty snappy as a result…Get in, get out, move on to the next scene, episode, series, etc… I wish more K-dramas utilized this format actually.

Amazing plot! The truth hidden in the lies/Lies hidden in the truth. The feeling of pain and sorrow, anger and hatred, betrayal and trust, happiness and sadness... All those feelings each character experienced, I felt and it felt amazingly real. A whole lot of action scenes, which I love. The unjust became just! It felt great to see people got what they deserve, although, I felt they should have got far worse. Those criminals wanted to somehow redeem themselves. These bad people wanted to be good. *cries* :')
I didn't think it was possible to feel something for these criminals, but I did. They went through a lot and I know they were criminals but I couldn't help but feel for them. They invoked a lot of emotions in me. I loved all the characters/casts especially Hae Jin oppa, but Jo Dong Hyeok (Tae Soo), had me like woah! He actually looked like a real criminal. He was so bad ass and hot. Always serious and wicked with his skills.
I loved each one of characters' stories and how they were all connected somehow to each other. It was like a puzzle and when it all came together, it made sense. How they were in the beginning up until the last episode, you see a significant change in each of them and their personalities. They are a perfect team. Their strengths and weaknesses, the affinity they had for each other was superb!
THIS NEEDS A SEASON 2. If this doesn't get a season 2 I'm going to go on a killing spree!!!
Hahaha~ Just kidding! Seriously though, I don't wanna get my hopes up but I really, sincerely and truly wish it does get a second season.
The music was totally awesome! It fits perfectly with every scene and it was just too cool. Especially the fighting scenes, when that music starts playing you can't help but be hyped! Even when people are getting their asses destroyed. Haha xD So great!
I WILL DEFINITELY WATCH THIS AGAIN. NO MAYBE ABOUT THAT!
I honestly don't know what else to say cos I don't want to spoil it for you guys. I appeal to you guys who are into action/thriller/crime, I RECOMMEND THIS FULLY! Even if it's not your cup of tea/type of drama. I implore you to watch this! You don't have to if you don't want to, that is your choice. Still, you don't know the excitement and awesomeness you're missing out on. :P

My favorite actor in this whole drama was Ji Chang Wook, who made a GREAT Emperor of Yuan. I especially loved the storyline and the chemistry between the main characters. Overall, one of my top 3 Korean dramas! Superb job on this drama Korea!

The visual work wasn't outstanding in any way. There was no amazing costumes, makeup nor special effects. The musical score was very good, but not fantastic. There is no epic, earth shattering plot.
There was just the story of a guy, of a disease and of life. Just that simple. And just that amazing.
Carried by actors with talent, sincerity and emotional depth. Everyone in the cast made a good job,
even though some of the actors were shining just a little bit more than the others.
Tabe Mikako made a beautiful and tranquil portrait of a strong woman and good performances were given also by Asada Miyoko as her mother and Kazama Shunsuke as the likable Mamoru.
I liked Fukikoshi Mitsuru as the neurologist Dr Tanimoto and found Nomura Shuhei as Takuto's younger brother Rikuto, entertaining and endearing in his role as the socially awkward guy - who very clearly has Aspergers syndrome (even if it's never said outright.)
But the monster performance of tremendous impact was of course by Miura Haruma, who shines brighter than a star in the role as Takuto.
I believe there could not have been any better choice of actor for the role,
Miura nails it completely and absolutely CRUSHES any competition from Eddie Redmayne and "The theory of Everything". Stephen Hawking is an inspirational person and that movie was rather good, but how I wish that this series would be the one praised and well known.
Sorry Stephen and Eddie, but Takuto and Miura Haruma kicks your asses big time regarding inspirational impact and acting. I have always liked Miura but now he leapt right up to the #1 spot in my "Best asian actors" list.
As for the emotional impact of the drama - wow.
I have personal experience of the disease. My father died of ALS some years back, only 58 years old, about 2,5 years after diagnosis (rather fast) and 3,5 years after onset of symtoms. I worked as caretaker for him and am very familiar with everything related to the disease, it's progress and the care given to the patient. And I am very impressed by how meticulously every little detail was worked out and how Miura acted his role physically - it was very realistic.
And the agony, the emotions... I was completely blown away. I believed his acting every single minute of the series, I never once thought of him as an actor, but only as Takuto. I still can't shake off the belief that Takuto very much exists, that's how good Miura was.
It's sad, very sad. And painful. And agonizing. It WILL make you cry. A lot. And I mean A LOT.
But it's also beautiful, humorous, heartwarming, insightful, thought provoking and inspiring.
But more than anything else - it's hopeful.
I honestly feel that this story changed my life in a way. It made me think. A lot.
About who I am, what I am, why I am like I am, how I want to be, what I wish for. What my goal is.
Like Takuto, I will try to find my goals.

Story: The story was great! It had romance and suspense and sisterhood and I loved it! The pacing was great and this mini drama was really well-written. The love triangle was so good, I had no idea which couple I should root for. I liked them both! But the womance! I've seen plenty dramas with good bromance but this is the first one in which I loved the two girls together! They were really like sisters. I loved their fights and bickering and how they cared for each other so much. They worked together to survive the big bad world of fashion.
Actors/Characters: Hong Hara was so likable and cute! I was really impressed with Yura! Being an idol I expected her to be meh but she did a really good job! Her acting was great and she played Hara really well. Hara was a very real character. She was flawed and jealous but also nice and caring. She seemed very human and relatable.
Do Ra Hee was a great character! She was strong and a bit crazy but underneath it all she was so nice and caring and naive and loving. She was really well-written and Shin So Yul played her really well!
No Choel was a coward. And at times I hated him very much! But then he did something that made me go 'awww!'. He cared for both girls and I think he truly did like, if not love, them both. I had no idea that No Cheol was played by Yoo Min Kyu who was one of the band members in Shut Up Flower Boy Band. I only realized that after I read that in a comment. He looked very different here! I think he did a better job in SUFBB but he was okay in this one too.
Overall: This mini drama rocked! Hara and Ra Hee were the stars of this drama and I loved every bit of their story! I would highly recommend it to fans of romantic comedies who like girl power and womance.

Story: A girl mysteriously dies and her friends try and uncover the reason for their friends death. As they search for the truth they each face different problems in their own lives - subjects such as pressure to do good in school, being a drop-out, pregnancy, first crush, and such.
Cast: Ahn Ba Woo (Lee Joon) may I say the "eye appeal" of this drama <3 He was seriously smexy on here^^ He tries to survive in the adult world b/c he has no where else to go. He also has a crush on a girl ;) Min Ho Soo (Hong Jong Hyun) a seemingly cold guy with a warm heart who has to learn to show it to others, he transfers from a prestigious school to a "trashy school" (is what the rumor is). Baek Hyo An (Han Ji Woo) the person the story revolves around as they try and find out why she died. Lee Ra Yi (Shin So Yool) a student who dreams of becoming a musician. Seo Yul (Park Ji Yeon) a student struggling to please her dad who constantly compares her to her siblings. Yoon Gong Ji (Kim Bo Ra) a very strange girl. They all fit and played their roles well and I enjoyed watching all of their scenes ;)
Music: Very good - I liked 2 songs that played a lot during the drama.
Re-watch Value: 8/10 I might re-watch this someday :) If you like school dramas then I'd recommend you watch this one :D

I love me some Kim Sang Joong. I have seen many of his dramas and enjoy his characters, but I have to say that Oh Goo Tak is my favorite. He perfectly combined strength and vulnerability. Park Hae Jin portrays Lee Jung Moon as a psychopath of which a person can't help but feel sympathy. Jo Dong Hyeok is beautiful as Jung Tae Soo. I love his character the most. Ma Dong Seok is so enjoyable to watch a Park Woong Cheol. I felt him. They are all attractive in their own way. The other actors are good too.
The music is appropriate.
I will probably rewatch this just before season 2 starts (wishful thinking).
I admit that if you are not into action/mystery dramas that you might not like this drama. However. It is so much more than just that. I recommend this drama to everyone.

Story: In order to catch "bad guys" former detective Oh Gu Tak forms a team of "bad guys" to rid the city of the other "bad guys" < This was one of the things that attracted me to this drama ;)
Cast: Lee Jung Moon (Park Hae Jin) *My personal favorite* (and the reason I started this drama), a genius "psychopath" they have labeled him but is that really what he is? His character had a childlikeness to him that I loved - he was vulnerable and honest. Park Woong Cheol (Ma Dong Seok) a gangster with a warm heart - I loved the bromance between him & Jung Moon <3 Jung Tae Soo (Jo Dong Hyeok) a contract killer who turned himself in. Oh Gu Tak (Kim Sang Joon) a former detective who is kicked out after his daughter dies b/c of being overly violent; He brings Jung Moon, Woong Cheol & Tae Soo together & forms the "bad guy" team (but are his intentions pure?) We see these guys build friendships with each other and learn how to care for other people - can bad people become good people?
Music: The intense ost was right on par with every scene.
Re-watch Value: 10/10 - I loved every second of this drama so I will definitely re-watch this <3
A couple of my favorite quotes: "Violence is the law of beasts. Non-violence is the law of people." - Gu Hyeon - "To sin is a human business, but to justify sins is a devilish business." - Jung Moon quoting 'Tolstoy'

If you liked shows like Trick, Tokyo Dogs, Mr. Brain, then you will like this. The production value is not as high, but the stories and the acting are quite good.

Don't delay it, and sart watching...

But what i really really liked about "you're all surrounded" was that the relationship between characters changed so slow... and you couldn't really realize when they became so close... that's a strong point of lee seung gi's acting i think!!
another special thing about the drama, it wasn't main romantic ... i liked it
thnx for reading... and seriously, don't loose this drama
