The 2018 Meteor Garden is one of my favorite dramas of all time and I hold Dylan Wang & Daoming Si very close to my heart. And while I still haven’t brought myself to finishing the Korean Boys Over Flowers because I’m not a big fan of the lead actress, I adore Lee Min Ho and can be quite biased when it comes to him BUT
…
F4 Thailand might be the best version of this drama and Bright’s portrayal just may surpass the others and be my favorite🤭There, I said it. I’m super impressed with his acting but also the way his character was written too. I expected Thyme to be a lot worse than the other versions of his character but he’s surprisingly mature (in comparison to the others) and much more perceptive and insightful. Don’t even get me started about Gorya. ADORE her. Not a Koo Hye Sun fan. Love Shen Yue as an actress but I don't exactly love Shancai as a character. Love Tu's acting and Gorya's character – the writers nailed the headstrong and unapologetic attitude without giving her the annoying flaws that the other versions of her characters had (at least that I've seen so far). I also love Kaning. See, in Meteor Garden, I loved Xiaoyou and Ximen together, but Xiaoyou was a very weak character. As much as I love Ximen, he was a major playboy and a bit of a jerk at times but she was just blindly head over heels for him, whereas Kaning is NOT madly in love with Kavin right off the bat, actually HAS a backbone, and puts him in his place. I love it. I will say, I am very attached to Caesar Wu and Ximen, and I do like Kavin and Win so far, but I am still waiting to be blown away. I'm sure when the show explores more of that subplot, it'll get there though. I personally just love the direction the show is going in. I'm very excited to see how things are going.
