Boys Over Flowers (2021)

Essa versão vale a pena assistir

Essa foi a única versão que eu consegui terminar. Não que as anteriores fossem ruins, mas infelizmente tenho o hábito de dropar várias histórias por pura preguiça ou porque acho alguma outra história mais interessante. Antes mesmo de lançar essa versão, eu já sabia que iria ver até o fim por causa do Bright.

Sobre alguns personagens:
Eu gostei da personalidade da Gorya e eu super entendi a maioria das suas ações, vi algumas pessoas criticando ela porque aparentemente ela não tem a síndrome da salvadora de macho tóxico que é comum em histórias desse tipo, Thyme mudou porque quis, por causa do seu amor pela Gorya.
Gorya foi uma garota doce, amorosa com a família e amigos e valente em momentos tensos na história. Gorya seria o tipo de amiga que eu amaria ter.
Teve uma ação dela na qual eu não curtir muito, eu entendo que o fato do Thyme no passado ter tido ações violentas fizesse com que ela ficasse um pouco relutante em relação a ele, mas a amizade dela com o Talay e a confiança dela nele em alguns momentos me deixou irritada, em nenhum momento ela considerou acreditar que talvez o Thyme não tivesse batido no Talay, mas tudo bem Gorya, você continua sendo o meu amor <3
Obs: ela tem dedo podre pra amizade, misericórdia mulher.

O Thyme foi um personagem bem interessante pra mim, um garoto problemático que no fundo queria ser amado pela mãe. No primeiro episódio a raiva por ele foi inevitável, aqueles cenas de bullying foram de certa forma pesadas, mas nos episódios seguintes começamos a ver um Thyme de uma forma diferente, Thyme não era só um playboy violento e cruel como vimos no primeiro episódio, começamos a ver um rapaz escandaloso, um péssimo gosto pra moda e um idiota tendo a sua primeira experiência amorosa(de um jeito bem torto) mas no geral eu me divertir com as presepadas do Thyme e sua genuína mudança, MASSSSS....
na reta final esse IDIOTA acreditou na mentira da Gorya dizendo que tava com ele pelo dinheiro, THYME VOCÊ É BURRO???? inclusive vou criticar o fato dele ter mudado bastante no decorrer da história, mas depois dessa mentira da Gorya, ele regrediu um pouco por causa dessa decepção, acho a poderia ter sido diferente, mas depois ele percebeu que aquele Thyme antigo não poderia voltar mais.

Kavin e Kaning poderiam ter mais tempo de tela, eu entendo que a atriz era menor de idade e com isso cenas de beijos estavam fora de cogitação, mas ainda sim acredito que dava pra desenvolver um relacionamento bem bacana.
Amei o jeitinho fofo e tímido da Kaning, um esquilo haha
Kavin era um personagem galinha, mas era tão adorável na maior parte da história e principalmente nas cenas com a Kaning.

Mj não teve tanto destaque assim na história, mas ele era um tremendo de um gostoso em todas as cenas, e também um bom rapaz.

Eu gostei do Ren, em nenhum momento shippei ele com a Gorya. É um rapaz com muitas qualidades, infelizmente terminou sozinho, mas feliz pelos amigos.

Gostei da Lita mesmo depois dela querer continuar com o noivado com o Thyme de uma jeito um pouco errado, mas ela era boa e notou que isso a tornaria infeliz, achei fofo ela se despendindo da Gorya no aeroporto, deu a entender que elas continuavam sendo amigas <3

No geral a história foi boa, poderia ser menos complicada e poderiam tirar algumas cenas, assistir 1 episódio por semana pode ter sido terrível, mas deu pra digerir bem a história já que são tantas informações e alguns desentendimentos... Também gostei da crítica que fizeram em relação ao bullying, o que o Thyme disse no primeiro episódio foi bem esclarecedor em relação ao caráter nojento daqueles alunos, claro que o Thyme não fica fora disso, mas pelo menos ele percebeu o quão escroto ele era. A cena dele se ajoelhando e pedindo perdão a um aluno foi significativa, e tudo bem você não perdoar o Thyme e não gostar dele por causa disso, confesso que não amo ele 100% por causa disso (mesmo ele mudando pra melhor) acredito em mudanças, mas tem coisas que são dolorosas demais para perdoamos, nunca sofri bullying, mas entendo a dor das vítimas.
O final foi bom pra mim, até gostei da perda de memória, foi bem clichê kkkk
Aliás não consegui odiar totalmente a mãe do Thyme, a mulher era linda demais :v

No final das contas eu sou muito fã do Bright e talvez isso contribuiu para que eu gostasse do personagem dele.

Queria um extra deles dois, mas me contento com esse final.

Thyme and Gorya: Our Shooting Star Couple༘⋆

I think F4 Thailand is the best adaptation of other previous dramas. This drama is Tu Tontawan first debut but she can act sooo well!! There is no need to doubt the chemistry between Tontawan and Bright, who were initially enemies and became couple˚♡˚₊‧⁺˖

Gorya, a girl who lives in poverty, she has to be the breadwinner for her family but she's lucky because get a scholarship to attend an elite school with the conglomerates around her. Her character is very brave, has strong principles, and not afraid of anything. At school she had to face bullying every day after having problems with the F4 leader so her life could not be peaceful.

Thyme, as the leader of the F4 squad who have been friends since childhood. F4 members are Thyme, Kavin, MJ, and Ren. All have different characters but one thing in common, they all come from rich families. Thyme, who was raised by his strict, arrogant and always wanted to win mother, made his grow up to be someone who doesn't care about other people and likes to put other people down.

Starting from Gorya defended her friend, Hana who caused problems with Thyme then actually made Gorya become an enemy of F4 and all the students at her school. Every day she has to face Thyme's ridiculous actions to bully her. However, this didn't last long because Gorya managed to turn things around. Gorya's courage makes Thyme, who initially hates her, become curious and fall in love with her.

In fact, for Gorya and Thyme, who come from very different family levels, it makes really hard for them to be together. Thyme has difficulty adapting to Gorya life and vice versa. Also Thyme's mother doesn't agree with their relationship and tries to get rid of Gorya from Thyme's life. I really liked the character development in this drama. Thyme, who was very childish, became an adult to fight for her relationship with her girlfriend and Gorya, i swear I am so in love with this girl!!! She is always strong on her own feet, even though she falls in love with Thyme too, but she remains rational and mature, does not depend on other people for her life as always.

Apart from the dynamics between the main leads, I also like the dynamics between Gorya and Ren♥ I was hit by second lead syndrome because Ren is truly the definition of a walking green flag guy. Just like Tontawan, this is also Dew's debut drama, but they can show extraordinary chemistry here.

Kavin and Kaning they are also very cute!!! They don't get much screen time in this drama but it's enough to make the audience's hearts melt when they see their relationship. Playboy MJ also made his debut in this drama and was very successful in presenting his character.

Overall, I really like this drama. I can't count how many times I've rewatched this drama and it made me fall in love with Tontawan and Prim in real life, they're so beautiful!! I hope they can meet again in another drama─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

If you hated the Chinese version, you're gonna love this one, trust me!

Got influenced by this drama by the thousands of TikTok edits around the web, but coming from a bad impression of the Chinese version (Meteor Garden) I was reluctant to this version, I've never watched any kind of drama coming from Thailand, but I've decided to watch it.
If you like the heartwrenching drama, the extreme angst and the pain, well this one is definitely the go.
I loved how the story builds, nothing is overexaggerated as much as in the Chinese version, Gorya is amazing if compared to Shan Cai, and everything is extremely cruel because can relate to something realistic.
Months after and I still love seeing edits of this amazing drama, definitely, a rewatch is needed once in a while!
Absolutely recommended

Surpresa boa

Esta foi a segunda versão de Boys over Flowers que assisti, eu só assisti a versão chinesa e eu nem planejava assistir essa, só assisti por pura insistência de uma amiga e pra minha surpresa não foi tão ruim quanto eu imaginava.
Conseguiram (finalmente) construir uma protagonista forte e inteligente. Gorya e Thyme foram uma surpresa boa. Amei todo o elenco! No início quando a mãe do Thyme apareceu eu jurava que era a irmã dele, ai fiquei um tempo sem entender kkkkkkkk
Achei o começo MUITO pesado e fiquei muito assustada, achei bem desnecessário. E o final foi corrido demais. Não entendo pq ainda insistem em amnésia em final de drama, pra mim, não faz sentido pq o tema sempre fica mal desenvolvido já que tem que resolver rápido.
Por fim, não é meu drama favorito, mas pra passar o tempo é até legal.

i've seen a lot of the other adaptations, and i think this one is living up to my expectations! despite its flaws, the story of boys over flowers is one of my favorites. i was really excited to see this after watching the trailer, and the show has yet to disappoint. although each episode covers a lot of content, it hasn't felt rushed to me and i'm really enjoying it so far. in some of the other versions, the acting is a bit iffy and the story might even seem a bit boring. this is only 2 episodes in and i'm still hooked. i'm really loving the chemistry between the characters and i am really excited to see how much better it can get from here!

Intriguing

Meteor Garden (2018) was the first drama I've watched and it will always have a special place in my heart. That is why I decided to watch F4 Thailand and by now I am not disappointed.

This version is way more violent than the Chinese one, but I think it is a good thing because it shows how much power the boys held over the school and how people were easily made to be hateful and aggressive towards their peers. That will help us understand the leads further in the story.

The actors seem to be cast perfectly for their roles. Bright as Thyme is scary AF and Ren is gentle but reserved. The actress who plays Gorya is incredibly talented and can portray her character well.

For now I really enjoy this drama and I can't wait to see the rest of the episodes!

the show is good and really really bad at the same time

-The storyline is so basic I already guessed how it ends, in the first ep and they spoiled it too much, the "evil" characters turn good too fast its very unrealistic

-Side characters I love, the main character lacks personality and the only traits she has is being "clumsy" poor, and "brave"?
she magically changes every bad thing in the show and the side characters are grateful for her for doing nothing

-music is kinda nice

-the acting of most actors is not really good

I think it would have been smarter for the main character to choose the second love interest (ren) she liked him first and when the main love interest (thyme) has a crush on her suddenly the ren stops liking her which makes it weird and unrealistic

overall kinda fun but not worth the wait

Premetto che sono una grandissima amante del manga quindi tendo ad essere decisamente pignola. Tra tutti gli adattamenti, credo che Meteor Garden (cinese) sia il migliore, tant'è che pure questo me l'ha fatto rimpiangere. Le uniche cose che ho apprezzato per quello che ho visto, sono state la modernizzazione del tutto (cyberbullismo in primis), alcune scene in cui Gorya si prestava davvero per il ruolo che doveva interpretare e le citazioni al manga. Fine.
Cose che mi hanno dato fastidio ? In primis, gli F4. Ragazzi questi dovrebbero essere i rampolli, i bulli per eccellenza, coloro a cui non gliene frega un c*zzo di niente e di nessuno, coloro che dettano le leggi a scuola e invece qui che fanno? Cartellino rosso e praticamente del resto si sfregano le mani. Ren è forse il più caratterizzato dei quattro e quello che muove un po' di più le situazioni, quello che prende posizione (come da copione). Thyme è la versione più deludente di Tsukasa poichè non ha carattere, sembra un bamboccio in preda a quello che lo circonda. Gli altri due sono fogli A4 altro che F4.
La recitazione in molti punti l'ho trovata pessima, si vedeva lontano un chilometro che era tutta una finta.
Gorya forse è stato il personaggio più deludente di tutti: che fine ha fatto quell'erbaccia che nemmeno la forza più vigorosa sarebbe riuscita a strappare? A parte un paio di momenti in cui si presta per quello che è, per il resto viene SEMPRE aiutata. Non dico che nel manga ciò non accada, ma qui questi momenti sono talmente tanto concentrati da togliere tutto il carattere a FL.
Una piccolezza che mi ha fatto più che altro sorridere è da imputare alla madre e alla sorella di Thyme: ma vi paiono davvero in quei ruoli? A me sembrano coetanee xD

Justifiable logic at first but inconsistent and contradictory later. Weak Acting. Quite lagging.

1. Story [~]
The story makes the ML to be a bully / prey-predator at school - not the type to fall for nowadays, but he has to be popular at school according to the plot. However, the production team did a good job with their narrative to convey how severe bullying can be and how it shouldn't be accepted. Toward the end of EP1, the majority of floating comments from the online viewers all ask when this bullying gonna stop in the sense that the bullying is now too much - which, when the FL high-kicks him, it's truly justified. The viewers are all satisfied with that kick.

In general, this kind of plot that revolves around the bad guy and cute, fighting girl who has a crush on his friend instead can go down to the cringy side easily, but as of EP3, the production team has been avoiding the clinginess quite alright. I think their clear thought on the plot's logic is a part that helps.

-----------------------------------------------------

2. Acting [-]
It's a mix. If I'd be absolutely honest and straightforward, I'd say the acting of the main cast is much lacking. There're some scenes that come out quite well and show the charisma/charms of the characters, but that's because of the skills of the production and post-production teams.

Among the three main characters - the FL, ML and ML's friend that FL has a crush on - the FL did the best job. It's seen she tried and it helps making the character's fighting spirit shine. Her character's dialogue has the potential to make things come out cringy as well, but the way she acts until EP3 has been able to avoid that case (though very narrowly in some scenes.)

The ML's acting isn't convincing when it's the scenes about being dumb or noisy or bad. It seems like he doesn't wholeheartedly want to be the character, for example, he doesn't really yell when he's supposed to threaten people with a loud voice, and a lot of time he acts awkwardly, his facial expression in intense scenes can't make me believe. If he has to be in an intense scene with the FL, his expression is not up to her. Watching him makes me feel he's not in his element.

The ML's friend that FL has a crush on also has weak acting skills. When he cries, it looks more like he's about to laugh. I think you know that kind of expression when we see through a fake cry. It's not that the person is really going to laugh, but because it's a fake one, the expression is more to the side of a laugh. When he talks, it also still feels awkward.

The other two ML's friends sound awkward when they talk in their specific way as well. There's this kind of saying in Thai language when women normally end their sentences with kha for politeness while men end theirs with krub. Sometimes when guys want girls they talk with to feel being adored or when a much adult guy talks with a little girl with a large age gap, they would end their sentences with kha instead. The way these two characters say kha is very cheesy - not natural at all. It's obvious that they're not familiar with that way of talking. It sounds very off and so separate from being real.

Umm... I'm still quite stuck with the acting of the ML here. Let me mention a bit, if you ever watch the Japanese version, the ML in that version is beyond any other versions. Matsumoto Jun set the standard of this character so high.

-----------------------------------------------------

3. Pace [-]
Each EP is about one hour, which is quite long in my opinion, esp. if there's nothing much happening during the time interval or the acting is too boring to follow. I start to feel it gets lagging a bit in EP2 and it's real slow for me when I watch EP3.

-----------------------------------------------------

In conclusion, what caught my eyes in the first place is the looking of the cast. They are all good-looking on the same par. It's quite exciting to see them being introduced in the first EP, but their acting can't attract me longer than EP3.

Personally, among the total of 5 versions of Boys Over Flowers series (the others are from Taiwan, Japan, Korea and China), this version has the most good-looking cast. Five of them are all good-looking. None of the other 4 versions pays attention to the equality in good-lookingness of these 5 characters. In terms of the enjoyment with the series' overall, though, Season 1 of the Japanese version is the best, followed by the Chinese version. The other three are not to my taste.

By the way, I would say for the Boy Over Flowers series, the versions that get me get me from their acting. I'm not that much into the story, but it's fun to watch when they match a dumb bad ML with a fighting spirited FL. So, the score on acting weighs quite heavier than other aspects to make me enjoy this series.
