A little rushed at points but overall, really good
I want to start this off by saying that I have seen China's show years before this one (Meteor Garden), so I went in already knowing that story. This one is much shorter than China's as well so I knew quite a lot of story would be cut compared to that one. I did like this show, but not as much as China's. I think this version just skipped over a lot of the relationship building between Gorya and Thyme. Him changing into a better person was a bit rushed as well. A lot of it just felt rushed to me. Even the story of Ren with Mira was done and over with so quickly.
Other than that, I enjoyed quite a bit. I loved the bond of the F4 boys so much. I loved seeing how different members were with each other too because even though the four of them are all friends, they still interacted and acted different depending on who they were with. I liked seeing how the four of them all were with Gorya too. Not just Thyme and Ren, but I loved seeing how MJ and Kavin were with her too. I like the characters in this show a lot. Ren is my favorite of the boys (and not just because of Dew lol), but I love all the F4 boys a lot. Gorya does annoy me sometimes, but I love how she always stands up for herself and those she cares about. She's so strong and brave and I love that.
I love Dew and Nani a lot too so I'm always happy to see them (Dew is the whole reason I watched this to begin with). Same with Fourth, he's so cute and young in this!! I loved Win and Brights acting a lot too. A lot of the support cast were familiar faces too which I enjoyed seeing.
As for Tu who played Gorya, I have to say I didn't like her acting. I just recently saw her in Magic of Zero and didn't like her acting there but I thought it was just because of what that show was. After seeing her in this, I just think I personally don't like her acting. I felt like she was yelling almost all of her lines. Obviously, it makes sense sometimes (like on the rooftop/arguing/etc.) but there were so many other times where I feel like she was having a conversation with someone and they were talking at a normal volume, but she was yelling. When she yelled too her voice became super high pitched and whiny which just annoyed me.
