Ok so, the ratings and reviews look quite promising; but as someone who Hated Boys Over Flowers (the Korean version),…
Gosh, I don't even know where to begin, if we were to list the reasons in which F4 Thailand outshines the Korean version. I'd recommend you to read the second review shown on this page, which does give you a list of why you should watch it.
As someone, whose first K-drama was Boys over Flowers (and who completely fell in love with it at the time), I would say this drama is like a walk in the park, compared to the suffocating, outdated and cliché scenes of the Korean Boys over Flowers.
My personal opinion, is that the script and acting of this version is just ten times better than the Korean one. The story feels natural and though this may sound weird: believable. Though the classic elements of the original story still remain, the Thai production team managed to put out fresh and modern adaptation to the story. Everything you hated about the Korean version (duration, over-acting and over dramatic scenes) is lessened is this drama and the positive aspects (F4 friendship and cute scenes) are amplified. After having just finishing this drama, I would say it also left me quite satisfied.
I hope you feel less conflicted about starting this version. If you still do, I'd say just watch the first episode. If for one thing, the humor in the drama made me laugh quite a lot.
Want to rewatch this again for the third time but need to check out new shows too! I love the feel of this kdrama.…
I recommend the drama 'Just between lovers' and while it's not completely similar, the drama 'Run On' was also able to give that same comforting feeling.
I loved it!! Even though it's a bit idealistic at times, I really enjoyed how the writers tried to touch relevant topics through the script. The production plus OST's are really good and the acting is just incredible! These characters have been perfectly brought to life by these talented actors that they've completely won my heart . I'm sad it ended, but happy because I enjoyed the ride.
This drama wrecked me in the best possible way. I watched this drama in 2015 and it's one of my first k-dramas. The plot is one of a kind, plus the acting by the cast was so good that it broke me emotionally. However in a way that changes you and makes you grow as a person. Though it has been seven years since, I still feel the emotions just as intense as did back then. This is one of those dramas that hit you hard but because of that, it's a I'd recommend to every k-drama lover.
I used to always think they look kind of similar. I'm happy that both will start in a drama together. I hope their chemistry will be as intens as in the drama 'Fate and Furies'.
I'm open to slice of life dramas, but I don't enjoy watching dramas where I dislike the character who takes up so many scenes of an episode. Honestly, watching Han Soo gives me a bad taste in my mouth. I skipped all of his scenes. Not even the snippets of the rest of the cast made up for it. I'm still curious about the other characters. That and the fact that the writer wrote one of my all time favourite dramas are the only reason I'm still interested in this drama. I do really hope it gets better soon or I might considering dropping this drama.
Yesss, two of my favourite actors! I love, love their acting. They're both excellent in nailing emotional and comedic acting. Looking forward to seeing them together!
Looking forward to this new combination. I already like both actors curious how their chemistry will play out. What I know for sure is that both are capable of pulling comedic and emotional scenes. Looking forward to it!
