I’m really enjoying this series so far (I’ve watched all episodes that have aired so far). The cast—Emi, Pat, Boun, New, and the rest of the supporting actors—are good, and their acting makes the story easy to follow. Their chemistry and performances keep each episode engaging.

My only concern is how the show handles the SA situation. It feels like it’s treated too lightly and isn’t reported to the college administration or the police, which I’ve noticed happens in many Thai series.

Overall, it’s still a strong and enjoyable drama to watch.

A Beautiful, Underrated Gem
Flourished Peony is a thoughtfully written Chinese costume drama that deserves far more attention than it’s getting. While the pacing can feel a bit too slow at times and the slow burn could have been handled better, the story itself remains engaging and meaningful.

The female lead is the highlight—strong, intelligent, and capable, solving most problems on her own without relying on the male lead. When she does ask for help, it feels earned, which makes her character refreshing and empowering. The male lead respects her abilities and never forces himself into a “hero” role, allowing their relationship to develop naturally from strangers to partners.

The supporting female characters are equally well-written, each with depth and personal growth rather than serving as background figures. Combined with beautiful costumes, solid performances, and a mature, subtle tone, the drama feels cohesive and emotionally grounded.

Despite its pacing issues, Flourished Peony is a quality drama with strong storytelling and performances. If you enjoy smart narratives and well-written female characters, this one is worth watching—and I enjoyed both seasons.

Amazing series! I really enjoyed the mix of Thai culture and horror and mystery elements. The production team did a great job staying true to the characters, setting, and storyline. The romance was subtle and felt natural—not forced like in many other series. Green as Ramphueng was fantastic, and all the supporting actors and main leads gave excellent performances.

She is amazing in Khemjira. Talented, Beautiful actor. Became a fan of her. May she gets more meaty roles.

Yeah, it is closer, though. Like ecb82 mentioned in the comment, the team might've forgotten about Boston .

Why the rating 8.8, from what I see all the comments says this is bad.

Maybe they are at a ski lodge or Resort like Wrightwood

I love North's character – funny, uncomplicated, loyal to partner (he stayed loyal to Jeh until she broke up with him), naughty, and social. The screenwriters did a great job adapting his character from the book, and Bas played the character perfectly.

As for the moving-in part, in the novel, Hill had asked Easter to move in with him. However, since Johan is more of a dominant, bossy type, it didn’t happen with North. But Easter does complain to Johan that North sneaks into his bed to snuggle, and Hill doesn’t like that. He then complains to Johan to do something about it, which they included in the series.

JoNorth's story felt rushed, which disappointed fans, especially since HIlTer received more screen time. Although they added a 17th episode, the rest of the episodes had already been filmed.

I totally respect your opinion, but I see it a little differently!
Johan and North – I actually love their story the most—it just resonates with me, especially the 3-year love story aspect. Accidentally meeting North in college, the passion, and the love between them made their journey special. Plus, the actors, MaxkyBas, brought the characters to life.
Arthit and Daotok – Definitely a favorite too; their mix of ghosts and romance is so compelling. I am waiting to see how Ngern and Oat will deliver in Season 2.
Tiger and Nao – Their story is interesting.
Tonfah and Typhoon – Their heartbreak hits hard. Honestly, I do not like Bever and Tonilew's acting so far. But I am hoping they can change my opinion in Season 2.
Ultimately, it all comes down to personal preference, and I love hearing different takes on it!

I have to disagree! I think Bas is actually very expressive and does a great job portraying North’s laid-back yet engaging and funny personality. His subtle expressions and natural acting make North feel real and relatable. Plus, his chemistry with Johan and the rest of the cast shines, especially in the friendship and lighthearted moments. I loved the emotional scenes, especially the crying scenes. They felt natural and not over the top like in other Thai dramas, which made them even more impactful. I personally found his performance amazing and really enjoyed watching him!

I loved it, especially Johan and North! The banter between friends was really fun to watch. The story pacing could have been better, but overall, I enjoyed it. Of course, everyone has their own opinion, but personally, I absolutely loved it and can’t wait to see the next pairings in Season 2!

Wait, what? Bas’s acting was great! He’s my favorite character in Season 1. [ Waiting for Season 2]He perfectly captures North’s laid-back and no-nonsense personality while still making him fun and engaging to watch. His comedic timing, natural charm, and how he brings North’s witty yet caring side to life make him stand out. He’s funny, jovial, and a no-nonsense guy like his character says. Romantic scenes and Emotional scenes with Maxky is great. Plus, he’s absolutely beautiful and cute. He and Maxky stole the show with their dynamic and on-screen presence!

Earth is a great actor, and based on interviews, his co-actors have only shared positive things about him, which makes me assume he’s a genuinely good person. However, his character in Forever You comes across as childish. On the other hand, Bas also plays a college character, but his portrayal feels more relatable—whether through his interactions with Earth, his friends, or even in his workplace scenes.

I completely agree; the friendship between North and Earth is amazing! Like many have said, Earth should definitely consider playing a sassy character—he would absolutely slay it!

I’m not a fan of Pond’s character portrayal, even though I know he’s a good actor. That said, his friendship with Johan and the other Docs is really fun to watch.

AouBoom completely steals the show whenever they're onscreen. Whether playing red flags or green flags, they have the chemistry and consistently deliver outstanding performances. These two definitely deserve their own series as main leads.

Yeah and North can have Archit 😁

I don't like Force's acting or stiff acting.

I absolutely love North's character! The way he interacts with his friends and other people is so heartwarming—funny, jovial, and full of charm.

Archit is North's gaming partner in the Archit-Daotek's story.

North plays an important role in Artchit-Daotek's story.
