Well, it's about right this article is published while it's still winter or I would've changed the gif into a spring one. I actually didn't watch RK movies until last year. I was so ignorant about Asian dramas/movies. When I found OOR in Youtube, there is no connection to RK movies. The links are just purely their official MVs. The Beginning was one of their first songs that I heard and I watched their official MVs that looks like a movie itself. But I think at that time the song was released before it was used for the movie, right? Their first song I heard and fell for them right away is No Scared, haha...
Stay safe from the blizzard!
Did you watch their film?

You're right! Before I had another movie poster as the article feature image. But this is my way to find out who the OK Rock fans are, cos you recognize him right away, others may not know who he is ;D. Did you watch the documentary?

Yeah, I think so, too. It's amazing they're still active for about two decades, not easy for a rock band because of the physical requirements. Did you watch the documentary?

You're welcome. Did you watch Flip a Coin?

Whose past experience? The mom?

Yeah, you're right! I'm not familiar with the history of China, but I don't think in the 70s they were into western entertainment like disco.

Oh my gosh... the way Xiao Zhan swayed his hips in that tight black pants... He cracked me up! But if I were there probably I would've passed out too from hyperventilating, lmao!

After watching Ep 6... the scene when Roselyn holding a tulip and the driver, must be a long-time staff, says that tulip means 'unforgettable first love' and Thyme's mom then says that she needs to remind herself that she shouldn't accept changes. I wonder if the dad used to come from a poor family before married her then he left? I mean I watched a lot of Thai dramas, and infidelity seems quite common in their stories, about the patriarchs. She doesn't forget her first love (which is Tia and Thyme's dad) but also she doesn't want the change anymore, by letting a poor person comes into the Parama family. That will be a Thai flavor they talked about that's different from other versions. In Kdrama dad is in coma and Jan Di takes care of him, Jun Pyoo and sis don't even know it, later he wakes up. In Cdrama dad passed away. In Jdrama dad lives in NY.

I don't know how long Thyme has been there across the roof top watching Ren and Gorya. If from the beginning, he will see Gorya confronting Ren about Mira, cries, then Ren cheers her up. If in the end, Thyme only sees they're hugging. Different scene different understanding. I think deep down he's jealous at their bond, something that he still can't understand, cos he always wins since little. Ren and Gorya have lost things and people (Mira and Hana), they understand what loss meant so they understand each other.
Do you know what happened to Thyme and Tia's father?

I'm really hope they don't make Thyme returns with giving out F4 cards to Ren and Gorya like in other versions, and that stupid race. Although in C version ML deliberately lose, but I can't forget the K scene when Jun Pyo forces his horse to beat Ji Hoo, and later the horse caretaker tells him the horse cannot be used anymore, so animal abuse! I just hope Gorya finds out then real reason Thyme beat up Tesla and apologize, I think that's more mature solution, right?

If you're looking for short dramas, the Japanese one Hana Yori Dango is quite short. It's a trilogy, 2 seasons with a prologue movie but you don't need to watch the movie it ends Season 2. The story is similar to the Thai one. But if you're looking for the modernity, the J one is made in 2015 so there are outdated stuff. Not the story but outward things like fashion. This version also is socially aware on issues, unlike the J one is pure romcom imo ;D

Not only that his character development is very important for the succession of this drama, in my opinion, Thyme is the most colourful character compares to the rest, even the main character Gorya or a complex personality like Ren. Pretty much the description of others being stable, but Thyme is unpredictable. He can be scary, funny, cute, sad, sympathetic, cringey, annoying, eccentric, naive, you don't know what will happen with him on pretty much every next scene...

Did you watch other versions?

Imo the screenwriters understood that although there are lots of love of HYD, but there are haters of HYD too. Many people hate mean MLs and toxic relationships. As I said, mean MLs are no longer popular and nice ML's are on everyone top ten tags in the stats, if they are romantic drama watchers. That's why making Thyme a nicer version is the best decision. He is portrayed started to changed by the end of Ep 1 (when he's surprised after she kicked him) and has changed a lot though still retains his original behaviors. As I wrote, changes cannot happen overnight, but it shows especially when he's trying hard to hold his patience in Ep 6. You watched it?

So I watched Ep 6... it's an ode for everyone who had a broken heart or unrequited love. It's sad but powerful. The scene with Ren and Gorya on the roof top is better than other versions. More realistic and simpler, and fleshed out both characters. What about yours?

oh ok, thanks for the clarification!

Reading the synopsis: "Narita Misao is confused by the situation and wonders what he is thinking." I wonder what she is thinking... Confused in a relationship with someone who is engaged to his girlfriend...???

this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5HG6Ajt8cI

What is the story about?

oh thank you! I saw raw advertised somewhere but I thought since they released it overseas so they have sub, lol. Were you able to understand the story besides just watching the action? How's the ending?
