Flower Boy Next Door Shooting Locations

I have been anticipating Park Shinhye and Yoon Shi Yoon's tandem since last year. It was a challenge how I can handle the cute. hihi. The two are so cute together!

As the citizens have intense love for soccer (futsal) and are very competitive, they support the Korean Soccer Team (Red Devils) with all their might - and they will take it even to the streets to show their dedication and undying love.
