There hasn't been enough hyperventilating here over how gorgeous this cast is, both men and women. All of the F4 are matched in A+++ visuals (and how Thyme manages to be hot wearing head to toe animal prints and with that hair is a wonder) but then you have Gorya being real-girl stunning + Mira, Tia and Mama Paramaanantra all supermodel beautiful. Even Kaning, when my husband saw her on screen he commented on how pretty she is.
Interested to see how GMM plans to handle the reaction to Gorya working as a bar girl.There's a real opportunity…
My guess is that Gorya will refuse to be shamed for what she did which would be in line with her refusal to be slut shamed by the rumors that she slept with 10 guys and had an abortion.
Just this one thing. Thyme dont be a dumbass in next ep because i fear you will be freakin a stupid like the other…
But him being a dumbass is a very important plot point in the other versions because at first he doesn't believe her and then she gets attacked by the students and then he realizes he does trust her and he rushes to defend her. It's a turning point in how he views her and moves their relationship to the next level. What I hope happens in this version is Thyme is going to be very angry and unfair to Gorya only she's going to stand up and say I'm not ashamed of what I did to support my family and I'm not going to apologize to you for it. Then MJ & Kavin will uncover who leaked the photos and Thyme will defend Gorya when the students attack her.
Yeah, but for some reason i feel like the whole debt collector thingy is also part of hana's plan. There was those…
I think you're right about it being Hana's plan but that doesn't take away from the fact that Gorya made a decision to do work in the bar to help her family. It's nothing like being drugged and stripped, that's practically a sexual assault
I saw this comment on YouTube and it's such a great observation:
I watched Hana Yori Dango, Boys Over Flowers and Meteor Garden (2019). And this is the BEST execute of the, how to say it politely, ah, "being a hoe" act.
In HYD and BOF, the FL aka Gorya in this ver, literally got drugged and stripped off (before that, drinking and hallucinating about the 2nd ML, aka Ren), and other people take pictures of her when she was unconscious and in underwear. AND she was underaged (16-17 yo).
In Meteor Garden (2019), they toned it down a bit, although, she was still drunk and hallucinated about the piano player was Lei (aka Ren). Then her friend asked a stranger to take her to the hotel and also take a picture to prove her friend (FL) is safe.
But this, the female is in control, she did it for her family and quit with dignity. Of course she is shocked that the pictures were being taken, but at least she knows what happen there, she knows her justice. Not just like other FL, woke up in a strange bed in a hotel, got stripped off.
Minor complaint: The English subs have Kavin calling Kaning Chipmunk but the literal translation is apparently Tiny or Little One which works so much better esp. because Prim comes up to Win's navel.
Also how everyone acting amazingly..Each and every cast are doing their part so well..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bright was amazing in the scenes with Gorya's family and Win finally won me over to his character. I feel like I get him now and I'm invested in every interaction he has with Prim who is also fantastic. Even Tu who I've loved all along really took it to another level in this episode.
also the writing is SO GOOD i'm loving the pace and the directing
I wish I could take the writers to dinner and dive into how they approached the adaptation because holy damn, the writing is incredible and I can't believe they are pulling off updating this story.
I was literally crying when he told that no one except her sister will care, if he will be missing for days .…
Also because we've already established that Gorya's family really loves her and is the source of her strength (kicking Thyme in ep 1 with the shoes they gave her) the scene where he is embraced by her family lands harder and better. Also Bright freakin' killed it in those scenes, all of the emotions playing out in his face and eyes. Same for Tu as you saw her softening and looking at him differently even though she's still in love with Ren.
Thinking more about Kaning returning the money to Kavin, I freakin' loved that she checks her bank account after and is like woo maybe I should've thought that through. It makes her gesture even more meaningful because it literally costs her a lot, she works a part time job for money but she won't allow herself to be manipulated into betraying her friends. That moment lands different when you understand the sacrifice she made.

SO yes, this is a much smarter way to put it in.
