F4 Thailand : Boys Over Flowers (2021)

OH MY HEART AND SOUL, WHAT HAVE THIS SHOW DONE TO ME!!!???
WHAT IS THIS SHOW????!!!!!

Despite watching all the former versions and even reading the manga by Kamio, F4 THAILAND managed to chock me and excite me all over again...it made me feel like this giddy young teenager just discovering the world. I have said it so many times, i am simply blown away by what they have done to this classic story. It feels sooooo fresh in a exciting way.

Thyme was a character i wanted to bleed in the first episode, i just hated his guts and wanted Gorya to take him down and steal his soul away so badly, because i knew it was his utter punishment. Gorya was his first female Red Card victim and she fought back so hard and bravely! She was tired of his shit, and she gives him "The Footprint of a Meteor"...symbolizing the shooting star that falls on Thyme. Not only did she manage to knock him off....she managed to steal his soul in that moment. Thyme is hers. Have always been. Their journey of growth was incredible. Thyme in his road of redemption and deserving of Gorya`s love and Gorya`s journey of rising up to the sky. This story is so huge, so magnificent. Masterpeice!

Best adaptation of Boys over flower

Its hands down the best adaptation.

We could see the change in not just the ML but the whole F4 and FL.

She is the strongest non windy FL.

The second love story was also very well done.

The redemption arc for everyone was spot on… the mom, ML trying to own to his past misdeeds….

Also love the romance it was cute and realistic teen romance.

Also the comedy was really golden.

We could see the flaws of the leads but we could forgive them because the outgrew them.

The best part was that even the remotest side characters like Phupha’s story was well done… let alone each every F4 members…

Wished our dear SML Ren could have been shown to have found someone but I guess it wouldn’t have worked in the current timeline but I guess as our FL said his future is going to be beautiful; after all he is the most softhearted member of F4.

Cons

Man the on the face ads are really #^*%£€

New fav drama, definitely worth watching

Binge watched this in 2 days, and I have only good things to say about it. This is the first time I've actually written a review on a show cause it was just THAT good. The actors are amazing and I personally think they suit their roles perfectly, they are good at showing the emotions they want us to feel. This show was definitely an emotional rollercoaster and I think it made me feel every emotion possible to feel. The story is well written and doesn't have any plot holes that I noticed. However it's a bit toxic at times, but I know that's the point so I won't give them less points for that. I'm personally not the biggest fan of the OST but it's still good and definitely suits the show. I'm a bit sad that Ren and Gorya doesn't end up together as they're my main ship, but I will definitely rewatch the show some time and it's safe to say that this is a great show and one of my new faves.

Couldn't finish it

They managed to make this more toxic and more violent than the Kdrama. I thought they would bring this to the 2020's. I can’t see a redemption or a real change, they just accepted Gorya and decided to be on her side.
I can't even see any relationship between the leads. There's nothing there. F4 wasn't charismatic at all. Gorya wasn't as strong. There was more chemistry in Lita's and Gorya's first encounter than there was in all the scenes between the leads.

I know they have to promote the produts in the show but they don't need to promote dieting or small figures for women.

Miraculous: a BOF adaptation I actually liked

Whether or not you are a fan of previous Boys Over Flowers adaptations, you need to watch this. I went in with no expectations and was blown away.

I've never had success with any BOF iteration. The Japanese, Korean, and Chinese adaptations all had enough overplayed tropes, cringy moments, and problematic messaging to turn me off on them.

This version is an exception.

This adaptation gets it right: it maintains the heart of the original story that continues to capture hearts to this day while injecting its own charm into the story. I was charmed from the get-go. The production was sound, the OST was not annoying (the bare minimum I ask for in dramas, LOL), and the acting was impressive for a majority rookie cast.

I cannot gush enough over the script and storytelling. The redemption of our Bad Boy character was glorious-- in all previous versions, I failed to see why anyone would forgive him for his actions, but this version sold it to me with sincerity. Consent, bullying, socioeconomic class, politics, business, and feminism are all touched upon in an organic manner that never seemed forced. The family bonds and platonic friendships at the center of the story are the glue that holds this beautiful story together.

The liberal product placement is a fair trade for being able to watch the show for FREE on YouTube. Run, don't walk!

of the 5 versions I'm stuck on which are my favorites.

I've seen every single one of the boys over flowers adaptations including the movies. I'm torn because I love all of them so I can't really choose which one is my utmost favorite. However if you go by how many times I've watched them, then Meteor Garden (Chinese version) is 60 times, Meteor Garden (Taiwanese version) is 10 times, boys over flowers (Korean version) is 35 times, boys over flowers F4 (Thai version) 2 times, Hana Yori Dango 1 & 2 is 6 times, the movies I've seen 6 times as well. I can say all of the mom's in them are not as cruel as they seem at first glance. The thing that amazes me the most about all of the moms is their quick 360 they do close to the end

would i watch it again? prob no

i would like to mention that i haven’t watched any adaptation of the original webtoon and this is my first time getting to know the story so i can’t compare the versions, this drama was super exciting in the beginning but then it got a bit boring and i didn’t get excited for the next eps anymore:( still it made me cry and also laugh a lot, i love the cast but the acting was lacking in some scenes, especially gorya, im sorry but her crying always ruined the moment TT the storyline was good but sometimes i felt like it was a bit rushed and they should’ve focused on one plot at time, also i wish we would get more kavin and kaning scenes, overall it wasn’t bad at all but i probably wouldn’t watch it again

Differs From Other Versions

F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers is much different from all the other versions. It talks and takes bullying and other problems more seriously. In all the other versions the female lead, which is Gorya in this case, ends up giving in to F4. In the other versions the second male lead, which is Ren's character, always seems "mysterious" and helps the female lead in a way that seems like he doesn't care for her. Ren is different from all the versions. When Gorya was trapped in the room and the boys waiting to get her from the outside, Ren made sure Gorya can go come safely. He even asked "Are you okay", which never happened in the other versions. Ren does seem mysterious but in a good way, and not some person Gorya will fantasize over. F4 Thailand has only released 2 episodes so far but I am in love with the series already. I can't wait for the next 14 episodes !!

i love ren/dew

I have never watch other adaption of Boys over Flowers, so I am not comparing this to anything however I do have very knowledgeable about the other adaptions.

I really like the show, I do believe the acting was little mediocre, however for the actor's names and especially for Dew first acting debut it wasn't bad, I just found it funny how Dew would smile during serious scenes, it made me really appreciate him and love him more. The entire plot of the characters were good, tbh I didn't really watch MJ part because I thought it was the same at the end then I found out for it to be different. The plot of Ren's Mira arc and then Thyme going back to himself, then the whole amnesia arc within 2 episodes. It could tell that a lot of was giving into the show for only a 16 episodes series. For all the characters and I think they did really well based off the amount of episodes givin. I think if it was higher amount of episodes it could be so much better because realistically the only problem that can be seen is the pacing. I really did like the ending of the series it made me so happy to see that Gorya referred to Ren has her first love, so I love that for them.
