I personally like this over the first one, however that is my opinion. I also see a lot of people comparing this…
The first one is one of my favorite dramas of all, but this one is very appealing on its own.
At this point I feel as though the two are so different that comparing them is beside the point. I can tell that I will enjoy this on its own -- unlike the Korean remake of 'A Love So Beautiful', where the two versions are so much in lockstep that comparisons are inevitable.
I don't like the directions they are talking Soo Jin in. I know her background and the toxic environment but that's…
No matter where they take the character for now, given the way the series has encouraged our sympathy over her home situation I expect her to get a redemption arc toward the end of the series -- similar to what happened with Soo Ah in Gangham Beauty.
Heon was like a different person in Episode 11. In a good way.
But he didn't get Sol Yi a Christmas present, or even a card. (A hand-my-down scarf doesn't count. It needed to be a gift that had some thought behind it, and if the weather hadn't been cold out then Sol Yi wouldn't have gotten anything.)
Looks like the pace picks up in the next episode. I just wonder if the little snippet of Heon asking that question will turn out to be from either Sol Yi or Heon having a dream.
Pok and Tong for the win! They were the most lively plotline in today's episode.
Two things I've noticed for a lot of Thai series:
1) The college 'dorm rooms' are bigger than my apartment, and the dorm buildings look like apartment buildings.
2) When two guys are roommates they share one bed. (There are exceptions, of course, like in TharnType and Love By Chance.)
As roommates, are Pok and Tong really going to be sleeping in one bed with all that sexual tension between them? Neither of them is going to be able to get a wink of sleep until that gets sorted lol.
alright, I have to ask: is the hair part of the uniform?why make such a big deal out of all the highschoolers…
What I've noticed in Thai dramas, Kdramas, and Cdramas alike is that the boys usually have bangs when they're young then start parting their hair once they get older -- and the dividing line is usually when they go off to university.
There's probably an analogous thing for the girls but it doesn't seem as persistent.
As for Destiny, I what the series *might* be trying to do is to discount Phai's 'vision' as being about the premonition of Thanu getting injured, with Wayu's vision being more about their future relationship.
Meanwhile, Thanu made me laugh for real when he said he would need to keep a distance from Wayu while he took care of Phai. He's starting to look a little nutty haha.
Am I the only one who thinks Wayu is a bit...manipulative? I’ve seen quite a few instances of this. Like, he…
Wayu's constant pity party has bugged me since the beginning. The character is boring so I didn't really care about his storyline, but unfortunately it has taken up a lot of screen time.
Episode 2 is cute. A storyline is starting to come together.
Que is gay -- his joke that he and Nam are just friends was not a joke -- and his attraction to Bhu seems pretty clear.
Right now Tae is into Bhu as well, but I think once the dust settles it will be Tae and Nite as the leading pair and Que-Bhu as the second pair. Que and Bhu will be arguing over who gets to be top man haha.
I really liked the Chinese version and I was very excited to see the Korean version, however so far, although…
Ironically, because Heon is 'softer' in this version, his moments of cruelty come off worse than in the Cdrama. The mood shift required for him to go from gentle to vicious is a bigger leap. It makes him look a little unbalanced.
I'm looking forward to when the Kdrama finally timeshifts forward to college and adulthood. The FL will look age-appropriate and lose the cutsie mannerisms, and Heon will hopefully show a more acceptable personality.
Forgive me if you absolutely love this K-drama. I wouldn't say I like it as much as I like the Chinese version.…
When he called her a loser he lost a lot of points with me. I also don't like that the FL takes that kind of abuse then forgives him when he simply says 'Don't leave' after he hears she might switch schools.
Then when she was being relentlessly attacked by a classmate while they were all in the library prepping for the debate, he said and did nothing.
And in the new episode, we're meant to see it as positive character development because he says 'maybe' when Sol Yi asks him for a favor.
Ah, but the affectless idol actor is cute when he does manage to smile, so who cares about the rest?
You nailed it. They botched this by not giving us the build up. The trailers were so good. I wanted those scenes…
Yes, a huge disappointment. I almost didn't bother going past Episode 1 but once I saw the trusty 'tutor' trope take the stage I decided to stick around. :)
Not sure how the new remake will be better than this unless they have more scenes with the Main leads in and show…
I've been rewatching in preparation for the new edition. This will be my third time through.
Every actor here feels just right in their roles. I'm curious how the alternative version will cast such character as Ming Rui (always wearing shorts haha) and Bai Li. After so many Cdramas where the female best friend/roommate is portrayed as a ditz, I love how Bai Li evolves away from that stereotype and becomes her own person.

And then Wayu was making all that fuss about it and didn't notice.
They must have been filming on a tight schedule that day. LOL

Who does this leave for Nam .... Coach? lol
Ohm is funny. I hope we'll see more of him.

One of the best series ever filmed.
