Flower Boys Next Door is a 2012/2013 South Korean romantic comedy television series based on the webtoon by Yoo Hyun-sook titled "I Steal Peeks At Him Every Day" (Hangul: 나는 매일 그를 훔쳐본다). It's a romantic comedy about the 'city Rapunzel' Go Dok-mi who locks herself up in her "tower", due to her fear of direct interaction with other people. Just from Spain is the football freak Enrique Geum, a genius, good-looking and bohemian director who catches Go Dok-mi spying on his cousin, whom she have had a crush on since she first saw him a season ago. Together they form an odd relationship which eventually makes Go Dok-mi crawl out of her shell and face the world she has shunned since high school.

Directed by Jung Jung-hwa (who previously helmed Flower Boy Ramyun Shop) and written by movie screenwriter Kim Eun-jung (Gabi, Hwang Jin-yi), it is the third instalment of cable channel tvN's "Oh! Boy" series of Flower Boy programming targeted at the teenage demographic.
