อคิราห์ (A-Ki-Raa) means radiant of the sun in Thai. It's a Thai name that is spelled the same as Japanese name in Roman characters and has pretty much similar meaning. I guess they might choose the name to honour the story's country of origin in the Thai way.

Ikr. If I were Makino, I would choose Domyouji too. Like at the first thought, he was an ass then realized that he was just a dumb immature brat. Once he fell in love, he tried sooooo hard to change and became a better version of himself. His change must be an ultimate achievement of Makino. Being with him, her self-esteem would be off the charts.

On the other hand, it's pretty ambiguous that Hanazawa is seriously in love with Makino. He is tooooo quiet, too mysterious and that would make her insecured, let alone his long-time first love is a perfect queen.

Departing from France at 5a.m., it's 11 hour flight so the arrival time is 4 p.m.(French time). The time difference is 6 hours then the BKK time is 10 p.m.

ML is for FL. SML is for all of us. - wise word from The Third Princess from The Romance of Tiger and Rose XD

A lot of international and elite schools in Thailand offer partial/full scholarships for extraordinary, talented students.

Minimum age to get driver's license is 18 but a lot of underage drive in Thailand. Illegal, of course.

I think it follows manga version. The director said when he was offered for this remake, he went back and read the manga to see if he could do it.

What a crazy drama! I mean.. in a good way. Just finished EP6 and totally love it. As a forty something's Asian woman, I feel nostalgic about the strict, not as much as Chinese schools, but still. Back in the day there were 4 heavenly kings instead of Jay Chow.

Love all the characters, the plot, the production and all. Hope it stays this fun till the end.

Yes, it does.

BGM is too loud I barely hear dialogues.

For No.2, I don't think it's that early considering it's in chapter 11-12 out of 60 chapters in the novel.

As in the novel, FL married to ML (Rong Xia). Shi Jin is secretly in one-sided love.

P is informal. It just make it polite yet friendly. So you can use it to address from acquaintances to intimates, but not your company's CEO or the clients you just meet a few times. The formal one is Khun.

Finished the book. All I can say is it's a perfect cast! I mean all the cast including the guest roles. Can't wait!!!

Ikr. She annoyed me so badly too so I paid less attention to the character. Only acknowledged the results of her actions that affect the story. Pity that the original character is really well written. She's a capable shop owner who runs Xing Xin on her own. She's also proactive as the team's boss. She's just not confident. Dunno why they decided to dumb down and make her a troublemaker like that.

ML is a merman (Xiao Yu Xing Guang.)
FL becomes a nine-tailed fox (Bai Feng Jiu.)

I think the reason why Dilraba & LYX is in spoiler.

I can't help thinking of Cheng Yi being Chang Yi the merman. Perhaps because I started reading after I finished L&R and Cheng Yi's performance has impact on me. ML is a pure, naive, loyal boy from the sea who turns dominant after betrayal. I somehow saw Si Feng in Chang Yi. And Cheng Yi's got nice chest. LOL.

ZBB is a better pick but I think YY looks a bit too sly.

Shi Guang wears yellow tee (one with "5") over a black long sleeved tee. It's Hikaru's iconic costume!

Just the FL.

Heard the rumour of Dilraba & Leo Luo as MCs. Fingercross for better picks too. I love both of them but it doesn't seem they fit the roles.
