Started watching this version to compare it to the manga and the other dramas. On the fourth episode currently, it feels somehow draggy and rushy lol. The first episode barely covers two chapters, so very draggy. The next three move at a better pace, but feels like it's rushing through the manga. Based on comments and spoilers I've read, I feel like it will get more draggy later on.
This version is still my favorite and probably always will be. But, Yuki in this version really annoys me. I get that her character is not supposed to a main but they gave her such little character development compared to the manga. I guess cause this version is shorter than the others... Original Meteor Garden does her character the best and also shows her nuanced bond with Sojiro. I also like her in Meteor Garden 2018, despite some changes. I've yet to form an opinion on her in the Korean version since I'm currently watching it, though I already feel that their Yuki is better.
I don't have much faith in C-drama adaptations because of censorship. Nana in particular has a lot of adult themes so it won't be like in Meteor Garden 2018 where they just took out all of the bullying. Well, I guess it's nice to see new Nana content anyway since the manga will never be finished.
I was thinking the same thing. I'm surprised this is not a bigger deal in the move. He couldn't even walk on his…
Agree 100%! I was waiting the entire movie for it to be addressed, but nothing. If an intoxicated women cannot give consent, then neither can an intoxicated man.
Okay guys so technically this would be my first thai drama or lakorn as you may call it. I wanna know when do…
The current trailer for F4 Thailand is considered a "demo" trailer, which is just to give an idea of how the drama will be. Another "official" trailer will be released later this year and then the drama will begin airing a few weeks later. I've read that F4 Thailand will air this summer, but due to covid it might be pushed to fall/winter.
Why aren't they wearing regular school uniforms in the trailer?
The F4 wear whatever they want to school. One of the ways their power and control over the school is shown. This is also seen in the Japanese & Korean versions of the story.
I didn't like that the ML turned out to be rich in the end :/. What's wrong with a Poor Male Lead, honestly? Is a man only as good as the money in his bank account?
I have to admit that I mostly pick dramas based on the title and cover. This has worked for me maybe 75% of the time. Other times I pick based on cast or mood. I don't usually check tags, though I probably should lol.
I love writing reviews for movies and sometimes dramas that don't have any reviews or maybe just one. Though I like to see that others have found my reviews "helpful," I don't really pay too much attention to it. I mostly like reading my thoughts months down the line and think about my current thoughts on the drama/movie. This year I think I'll try to review everything I watch. Very well written article btw. I see you on mdl all the time and you always have interesting opinions in your reviews and comments.
All the different forms of addressing someone are so confusing at first lol. I probably haven’t used Mr./Mrs./Miss/Ms. since school. I call my brother by his first name, though when I was a baby I called him “Bubba” which I think is an American southern term.
What's your favourite drama order list?Mine:1. China2. Japan3. Taiwan4. Japan 2018 version (but needs a second…
1. Japan (my first drama, so it's hard to beat.) 2. Taiwan - China (A tie. I like both equally for mostly the same reasons.) 3. Korea (I've never finished it tbh. Has been on my on-hold list forever.)

Best quality I have found so far, but only Chinese subs and some of the videos are blocked (in my country at least).
