Please watch
I've watched the Korean version (Boys Over Flower) and the 2018 Chinese version (Meteor Garden) so far,this one is the best.
Love the acting, the feelings well conveyed, the actors, and the storyline.
I initially think 16 episodes were too short. But after watching 2018 Meteor Garden (in which they had 49 episodes in total), I think 16 episodes is just enough. lol. (You'll know what I meant if you watch 2018 Meteor Garden)
Also, I still cannot believe that Tu, Dew, and Nani first acting debut in this series. They all look like professional actors!
I don't find any awkward performance or feels.
Having Bright and Win as experienced actors alongside them really didn't make them look like amateurs at all.
And oh, I loveeeeeeee Bright and Tu together.
Wishing for more projects of them in future.
Gonna rewatch this anytime soon. Can't get over it yet.

LOOOOVEEEE THE PAIR
I watched Bad Romeo before watching this lakorn. Been following Bad Romeo's video clips on Instagram, and suddenly there's a video of Mark Yaya pops up. If I'm not mistaken it's about their upcoming lakorn in which they are pairing once again as the main lead! And I really forgot how but I did some searching and found that they had been paired up before in lakorn which is in this series. I started watching and didn't know I would be hooked on this drama. So addictive!I just finished watching it and I really like the chemistry between Mark and Yaya.
Even though they already have their real-life partners, still I'm rooting for their acting together as a pair.
Can't wait to watch their new lakorn soon!

Exagerrating
1. Too many episodes (49 episodes) in which I think they should stop by making 20-25 episodes only. Why? The longer the episodes, the ridiculer it will become.2. I rarely enjoy the female lead with other casts (except for the main leads), but in this series, I prefer her (Shancai) with the second lead actor (Lei). I found both of them more chemistry, more loving, and more pleasure to watch rather than the main lead (Daoming Si).
3. I started to skip most of the scenes (Xiaoyou, another two guys in F4 SORRY I FORGOT HOW TO SPELL THE NAMES lol, and others) from episode 20 something because they were all unnecessary and exaggerating. I only watch Lei's related scenes most of the time. (yes, favoritism there lol)
4. Shancai's male best friend is really childish. I don't know whether in the OG version there's a character him but anyhow, his character is not necessary and does not contribute to the plot at all. Should not exist in the first place.
5. Compared to other versions of Boys Over Flower, this one is the one that I won't rewatch.

It's average.
Yep, the title says it all lolThe actors are all great, but the acting are all average in this drama. I don't know why.
No intense fights. Predictable storyline. Cartoonish effects. Why do Thai lakorns like this? I mean in the terms of CGI. Unrealistic.
For the couples, I love both Bank Thiti and Peak but sorry, I don't find any chemistry between them. Not at all.
Also, this is my first time watching Yolhita/Fahproud in a drama and yep she is so pretty!
Overall, 6/10. Should be 5 but considering Bank Thiti's manliness and Oab's coolness, an extra point was given. lol

Surprisingly, I love this?
I'm actually quite skeptical whenever any hit movie will be made into series like maybe I'm thinking that it will be disappointing? Cuz you know sometimes not all hit movies should be made into series.So I was really not interested to watch this series at first.
But somehow I don't know the major reason I watched this because of Ice Paris. Kinda feel curious about his acting.
I've had watched him in Great Men Academy and In Family We Trust (IFWT). I read somewhere that his acting is not good but I personally think he's quite good. So I was searching for his other dramas/movies and found this series (well I just wanted to try to recall his acting and also you know... wanting to know which part of bad acting that he does lol). So I tried to give it a shot.
AS THE TITLE ABOVE, SURPRISINGLY, I LOVE IT.
More dramas, more tensions, more twists.
It really looked like an upgraded version of the movie.
I love all the main leads.
I was actually quite annoyed with Grace cuz I've watched her in IFWT before and her character there was pretty much annoying lol and I personally think her character personality here in this drama was quite similar to IFWT?
But somehow I kinda like her here compared to IFWT.
And also Ice Paris is good in acting. He is also so gentle with Grace here.
This is also my first time watching another 2 leads in drama so I would say that their acting was quite good as well.
Overall, RECOMMENDED. Go and watch it if you haven't!

WOW
I didn't feel like watching it at first cuz it was about a family matter (based on the poster), but then I tried to give it a shot.The more episodes you watch, the more you feel curious about what will be happened next.
At first, you would be like "Oh.. yep.. he's the one" but then "Oh.. so it's her?" but then "Wait, what?" lol
The dramatic background music was really helpful you know... the suspense feeling, the twisty plot...
All the actors really did a great job portraying each character.
It was a really an interesting drama.
Worth watching.

Does it actually need a closure?
It's a quite unique short story to watch for.I love how each episode exposing to what was actually happened before so yes it's not confusing.
Even though the ending left you feeling unjust, but I think we can agree that if the story has a closure, it will be about how they are going to end up in a jail (both Tiger and Nana's case).
p/s :
- make sure to empty the trash folder in the photo gallery
- the poster looked weird. I personally think Tiger should be sitting on the chair and Nana standing at the center. Also, Tiger & Jo supposedly be looking at Nana, and Ai at Sol. You can relate if you watch the drama first.
- I LOVE JAYLERR

LOVE LOVE LOVE
I love this drama! I watched it cuz of Jaylerr at first. Never thought I became so into it!Love the acting, the visuals. The main leads really looking great together as a couple in this drama.
Love the story. It was such fun, bubbly episodes at the beginning, but bittersweet moments towards the end. I was bawling my eyes out watching those sad moments.
Even though the CGI of the fantasy setting looks cartoonish a bit (and made me felt cringe at the same time lol), but still, it was a fun drama to watch.
Kinda hope for the main lead to work together again somewhere in a future.

Love it
This is my first time watching Lee Jee Hoon in drama. He looked familiar somewhere (might be in a variety show) but I forgot where did I see him. I stumbled upon this drama when I saw a short video clip of him and Shin Min Ah on Instagram. I didn't know that I could love this drama so much. It was really a great pairing between both him and Min Ah. What surprised me most is, when I read the reviews here saying that this drama got a low rating there in SK. Both of them are well-known actors in SK, but couldn't save the drama's rating. Whatever it is, I would love to see this pair again in any drama/movie in the future. They are looking so good together.Was this review helpful to you?

It's OK if you choose to not watch this lol
I'm kinda new to J-dramas/movies so I know nothing about the late Haruma Miura except for the news of his passing last year. After watching this movie, I felt heartbroken because I love his acting in this movie and the fact that I will never see him anymore in dramas/movies makes my heart wrenched. Rest in peace beautiful soul.Anyway, the movie was OK. Of course, there were some lacking like :
- The death of Kota and Motoyasu was so... plain? Contrary to their strong character here so I expected an impact left but nah
- The ending left so many questions behind
I kinda agreed with one of the reviewers here saying that there're too many things to put in one movie. Should have done it as drama series instead.
Praised to all actors. Good acting indeed.

Love the chemistry!
This is my first time watching Yaya in lakorn, and my third time watching Mario after the hit movie Crazy Thing Called Love and Netflix’s Ai Love You. This lakorn, really shown their great chemistry. Whoever that came up with this idea (pairing them), is ??.This story had the ups and downs between both leads. Conflicts between families and relationship. Generally, it’s a common plot. But glad that they’re ended together.
I wish to see the main lead couple again in any lakorn/movie. Both are great actors, visually attractive, and have the chemistry.

Not a fan of this drama
I watched this drama cuz of Jaylerr. I watched him before in Tootsies the series & movie and I fell in love with him. So I decided to find out more about his dramas & movies. So I chose to watch this drama. I love his character here. And also Vier's character. But not the guy version of Love. The more episodes I watch, the more cringe and sorry to say, the more I dislike him. Idk I just can't take it anymore so I just watched it up until episode 4, and skipped the rest episodes, and just watch the final episode then. The girl version of Love also idk her acting looks stoic. Sorry Jaylerr, I just could not stand looking at you with that guy version of Love in this drama. That guy is so not compatible. Unlike the guy in Tootsies (Gus), I really love Jaylerr with him in that story. Anyway, I love the ending of this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
