The best drama? Nope. The least one. Nope again. I’ve seen every rendition to this drama, it’s a classic even though the storyline may be troupe and cliche, but for some reason it’s always a much watch for me, especially with the original versions and Chinese version. All in all, each version actually has something special to it that is better then the other and also has something that is annoyingly bad. This version, the Thai one, has a bit of good and unfortunately a bit more on the bad side. For one thing it’s really hard to cram a big storyline like HYD into 16 episodes. Don’t get me wrong I really enjoyed how the Thai drama first started off. It was really great, but somewhere towards the middle it started to get jammed up, as those who are familiar with the anime could tell how the material was getting muddled together especially towards the end. On a positive note, the chemistry throughout the cast is one of my favorites out of all of the versions. The friendship between F4, and also the chemistry between the main leads were spot on. Then there’s always the Ren character, the Hua Ze Lei character, the Hanazawa Rui character, Yoon Ji Hoo character, and the Hua Ze Lei character. Why oh why, do they always have to be written in a damn so near perfect way. Always second male lead syndrome. *sigh*
