Welcome to the world of Thai dramas, their FL's are always more aggressive and cat fights are very very common in their soaps.

F4Thailand is a masterpiece. Every minute held a meaning. Every lesson a heartfelt story. This adaptation sparkles like those shooting stars. After waiting for Thailand’s adaptation for 21 years, I’ve never been prouder. Thank you for giving a new generation this.

You said it was out of character for Gorya to take Ren's money right? And here I am disagreeing. It makes sense she accepted the money because her family is in a ton of trouble and Ren was there to help. In some ways, she has grown and a part of growing up is admitting you need a little push or help which is what her friend Ren did for her. I didn't think it was out of character, she has grown to accept Ren as someone she completely trusts. Ren did tell Thyme in the past that if he took the wrong path, he wouldn't hold back so in this episode it made sense he went after Gorya. Ren has always had her back, if you didn't notice how smitten he is with her already from past episodes then yes, you would think his feelings look forced but no, he was waiting for his opportunity all along. Thankfully, this episode completely closed Gorya and Ren's chapter because being the grown up Gorya is, she was direct and rejected him.

There is a theme to this episode though, growing more, taking responsibility. Obviously she's not an adult based on age but if you think about it, they all emphasize on this theme in this episode. Being an adult is about accepting help when needed and wisely running a company. I think it would have been odd if Ren never said don't pay me back but since he did, it made the situation more understandable with why she did accept his help and its not wrong because she should be able to depend on her friend.

I am satisfied with every episode so far. I like Thailand's direction of their storytelling. Its clear and straightforward. Today, we see Ren released all the feelings he had for Gorya. Although bittersweet, I am very happy I will not get to see Ren suffer anymore. He knows what he must do as Thyme and Gorya's friend now. The way friendship is portrayed in this show is amazing. When MJ told Thyme they loved him, it was so beautiful. It reminded me of what this show was. Rarely do we get to hear these words between male friendships compared to all the love between female friends. F4 is the rock of this show and they cleverly showed it through this episode. In the end, F4 put their companies together for the greater good. This is enough for me to love this show to the max.

If you are a fan of this franchise, Thailand's version should not be missed. Its up to date and all the actors have been doing a fabulous job.

LOL Welp, don't we all just wished that was case for all these dramas. Gorya and Doumyoji clearing up the misunderstandings with the mom in each remake instead of waiting for a year.

Jeez, so much profanity there. LOL...anyway, no need to get so angry. Just don't watch if this makes you angry. Thyme is who he is because of F3 so yes, they all have to babysit each other. They all be meddling in each other's business since episode one.

The Japanese version, Makino and Doumyoji separated for a year after season one. During that time they didn't keep in contact either because Doumyoji was running his business with his mom who made him think he bankrupted and killed an employee. I think the Thai version followed this version.

She's really not taking, she's borrowing. Ren made that clear. Besides, she's suppose to be an adult now and takes responsibilities, this in some ways is like a business transaction. Even though its her family's debt, she's always been the one trying to be the bread winner, so I think its very likely of Gorya to accept Ren's help and repay him.

Taiwan. First. What started it all. One of the Top Best.

Doubt it, they pretty much summed up most of the manga, right? There is no other conflict to show. If they do the amnesia part, final episode should cover it. I don't think Thailand had plans to make a second season. Besides, the actors all are committed to other shows already.

Nope. They have finished filming and the actors are committed to other projects already.

Huh? Gorya never took money from Thyme's mom. She lied about it to Thyme.

Using fake terminal illness is the worst betrayal. The mom is pure evil. Holy crap. I want to know how she will redeem herself...I hope Thyme is the one to set her straight!

I respect your opinion, but I can't help think people are being so hard on this series for very small reasons. If we are strict on what Thailand has done with Kaning and Kavin's story, then we should question why other versions rushed this story in their adaptations as well right? This is what I don't get when people make the argument in this version Kavin and Kaning's story was rushed and there was no build up. This version has a lot to live up to however its exceeded a lot of people's expectations, especially when we are getting solid storytelling that does not distract us from the main focus of the theme. I'm not here to change anyone's mind but I will argue where needed because for the first time, I think a country has done it right with this story. In this case, I disagree and stand by my examples and views on Kaning and Kavin's story which had no wasted scenes. :)

Each episode is able to convey a good message and give emotion to each character therefore, I can't help but praise it. I have seen every adaptation of HYD too and know how badly the stories are dragged, a flaw most versions have so I am actually thankful this version don't have time to drag the story. Sorry your couple lacked depth based on your opinion but since the beginning, F4 Thailand has had a pretty clear goal in their storytelling, the love story between Thyme and Gorya. Every conflict is created for them. Kavin and Kaning are their sidekicks so one to two episodes to evolve their story made sense. Some may agree there was no build up but I think Kavin seeing who he truly loved through the glass cup since the first time they met reminded me their story's beginning was their buildup till now. Besides, only two out of the five HYD adaptations, explored Kavin's character background. I really can't blame Thailand for their writing direction, if I was, I'd be arguing to have every past version to do the same for Kaning/Kavin's love story.

Kavin is a player, so it made sense to me that he made his best girl friend his partner in crime. I saw it that way, not confusing at all. How was there no build up? It was building up since episode 12 when Kavin refused to interfere with a love triangle, maybe even before episode 12. In some ways, Kavin has always warned Kaning of his behavior as a player, this is build up to what is truly in episode 13. Besides, the number of episodes used to tell Kavin and Kaning's story is basically the same amount used for Japan's Yuki and Soujiro so I really can't complain when Thailand decided to go Japan's route in telling the story in a similar way. Japan's version is still the other best, in my opinion. If anything, I am impressed Kavin and Kaning showed so much emotion in just one episode even if some think their story was rushed. Appreciative, Thailand was able to give us so many good moments between Kaning and Kavin Japan couldn't create.

I think there is enough depth in Kavin and Kaning's story without bringing so much baggage from Kavin's past. Episode 13 was dedicated to Kavin from the opening song to him finding himself falling in love with Kaning finally. Bringing in another story line into his story will only confuse the storytelling when we never got the feeling that maybe Kavin was in love with his brother's woman (like in the Korean one) or his father was always unfaithful (like in the manga). Ultimately, we got what we wanted without dragging his story because we only wanted Kavin and Kaning to have found each other and they did it in a very fairy tale like way for their story. I think it was wise the writers just kept is short and simple because I could careless about his background besides Mona.

Kavin was always a player regardless of his family's story in this version. They didn't bring his family's story into this version probably because the only family they wanted to focus on was Thyme's? It wouldn't make sense to only bring in Kavin's family history now when there was never build up to it from previous episodes. Throughout the whole show, Thyme's family is what the problems revolve around.
