Dissappointing
I liked the first half of the movie. It was a nice, highschool romance and I liked it very much. I wanted to cry a little bit and I was expecting an engaging, touching story... and this was just not it. I didn't shed a single tear - and I'm a very emotional person, so I was very dissappointed because I wasted 2 hours on this movie.The 'plot twists' (if I can even call them that) were too predictable. Also, the cry of the female lead is so annoying to me: too theatrical, unnatural - it reminds me of a toddler wanting to get attention.

The more you watch, the less sense it has
The show started well: there was some action, reasoning behind the monsters' arrival and a presentation of the weird cult with a creepy leader... and then it went south. I think that it is sad that the potential of this drama was completely ruined by the lack of reasoning behind everyone's actions. Everything started to make less and less sense, and by the end of the show, it was extremely annoying to watch the characters make any decisions.The "streams" of one of the church's fanatics were obnoxious and I think they did not add much to the story, except for the "plot twist" at the end, which was very predictable.
Overall I wouldn't recommend this show to any fan of Kdramas, but I may use it to warn someone about the possible outcomes of religious fanaticism,

Waste of time
In the beginning, I thought that the first episode was okay, but I was waiting for the characters to develop and the plot to become more interesting. However, it did not work for me that way.The characters are bland, the acting is very stiff and did not make me feel any emotion other than annoyance. (especially Nayeon who was extremely irritating from the beginning) The main character even if she is showing some 'range' of emotions, I could not feel the emotions with her.
I did not find one character that could be likeable in this show, other than Chung San's mother. All of the characters in this series are extremely stupid... like: "we have a good place to hide - let's go somewhere else now!". The ones who survived managed to do this only by luck and (unnecessary) sacrifice of others.
This show was (in my opinion) exhausting to watch.

Confusing
My main problem with this drama is that it is nothing like the first episode has promised. The plot was mostly focused on Do Rami, which was disappointing, after setting a completely different tone in episode 1.The ending was rushed. Why did they even decide to tell the viewers that the parents are alive in the last 20 minutes of the show? Mu-hee went to see her mother and we didn't even know anything about what did they talk about.
Also, it didn't make sense that the father didn't want to raise her after the incident, supposedly because she looked like her mother. The problem is, she didn't. She was a child. She looked like a child. He couldn't have known that she would grow up to look exactly like her mother.
Also, I have no idea why did the leads break up a few times. The ML was most of the time unnecessarily rude to the FL, especially in the beginning. And I get that we see a few scenes, where he showed that he cares, but Mu-hee didn't see that. I don't even know why she fell in love with him.
I can't even express how mad I was when he said with a smile that they can be toghether because they will break up anyway. Who would want anyone to start a relationship with those words? I would run, tbh...
Second couple was just okay, nothing special. We didn't really get to know them enough to root for them, but I don't hate them being together.
The visual aspect is the biggest asset of this drama. From breathtaking sceneries of mountains and lakes to a beautiful cast, everything was pretty. It makes me sad that the plot didn't came close to my expectations. I'm curious of what would have happened if the screenwriters stuck to the initial idea of a rom-com, instead of psychological drama with a bit of on-and-off romance...

Annoying characters and a toxic relationship
The male lead is just... obnoxious and acts as if his looks are enough to make everything he does look less creepy. The female lead is just as obnoxious with her inability to stick to any decision she makes. The leads are just completely disappointing in terms of the plot and acting. The girl seems to be uncomfortable all the time, even if she is the one to make a move, and the boy has one facial expression throughout the series.I barely got through this drama and in the end, I think it was a waste of time.

Sarawat - a star of the show
Although I did not think that finding a boyfriend (when you are a straight male) just to make a gay friend stop chasing after you makes any sense whatsoever, I quite enjoyed this drama. It started off in a weird way, but as it progressed it attracted me even more and I was curious what would happen next. The next weird thing for me was that basically everyone was considered "hot" except for Tine... though he is crazy hot.The biggest disappointment of this show was the littlest amount of chemistry between the main characters. I know that Tine was not gay at the beginning of the show, but he eventually turned out to be interested in Sarawat, so I cannot understand why he was acting so weird when they were in a real relationship. On the other hand, the guy who played Sarawat did a great job and he made me believe that he was head over heels for Tine, but the part that S knew all this time that Green had a boyfriend and that he planned most of the things that happened was a bit creepy for me.
The music in this drama was really catchy and I still play the soundtrack over and over again. A huge plus for the actors who sung live in this show (e.g. Bright - Sarawat) and for the video on YT that proves that - the one that Sarawat recorded on his phone for the music club.

Intriguing
Meteor Garden (2018) was the first drama I've watched and it will always have a special place in my heart. That is why I decided to watch F4 Thailand and by now I am not disappointed.This version is way more violent than the Chinese one, but I think it is a good thing because it shows how much power the boys held over the school and how people were easily made to be hateful and aggressive towards their peers. That will help us understand the leads further in the story.
The actors seem to be cast perfectly for their roles. Bright as Thyme is scary AF and Ren is gentle but reserved. The actress who plays Gorya is incredibly talented and can portray her character well.
For now I really enjoy this drama and I can't wait to see the rest of the episodes!
