Were the first three movies released in the theaters? I was not born in Asian dramaland yet in those years, neither watched Asian movies (only like Jackie Chan's). So yeah after watching the last two in Netflix, I wondered how epic would that be if they're released in the theaters, with wide screen and blasting sound effects! Even home theater technology still won't be so good. I can imagine your disappointment...

You meant the Taiwanese TWMA? Dang, I have been waiting for that to be released online. People in the movie page told me I have to wait until it's finished airing in the theaters... huhuhu!

While replying your comment I just found out they released specials on RK movies. So many to watch... Did you watch them?

Is BIS good? I didn't put that in my PTW cos I am not familiar with the cast. But if the story is good, and other stuff like acting, cinematography, I'll think about it ;D

I think I heard Clock Strikes, too. I have listened to their newer songs and watched their newer MVs I don't remember the old ones.
When they had the concerts in the U.S. I was at school and broke... when they did the Field of Wonder I was no longer at school... but still broke, hahaha.

If they do a concert in Europe again, would you go see them even it's not held in the country or closer where you're at?

Do we ever will get a break from watching currently airing dramas? Hahaha... it seems one ends another one starts!
Which ones are you thinking of watching?

Oh Cinderella Addiction is disturbing... I watched it because of Tsuchiya Tao

I usually dare enough to venture on topics, genres, subgenres that I don't usually watch if they are in drama formats. That's why you see a variety from the lightest to the darkest here, color coded ;D. I never dropped a movie once I decided to watch it. That's why I watched a horror like Ghost Lab. Did you watch it? I didn't put too much info there because the ending is shocking ;D

Well, it's about right this article is published while it's still winter or I would've changed the gif into a spring one. I actually didn't watch RK movies until last year. I was so ignorant about Asian dramas/movies. When I found OOR in Youtube, there is no connection to RK movies. The links are just purely their official MVs. The Beginning was one of their first songs that I heard and I watched their official MVs that looks like a movie itself. But I think at that time the song was released before it was used for the movie, right? Their first song I heard and fell for them right away is No Scared, haha...
Stay safe from the blizzard!
Did you watch their film?

You're right! Before I had another movie poster as the article feature image. But this is my way to find out who the OK Rock fans are, cos you recognize him right away, others may not know who he is ;D. Did you watch the documentary?

Yeah, I think so, too. It's amazing they're still active for about two decades, not easy for a rock band because of the physical requirements. Did you watch the documentary?

You're welcome. Did you watch Flip a Coin?

Whose past experience? The mom?

Yeah, you're right! I'm not familiar with the history of China, but I don't think in the 70s they were into western entertainment like disco.

Oh my gosh... the way Xiao Zhan swayed his hips in that tight black pants... He cracked me up! But if I were there probably I would've passed out too from hyperventilating, lmao!

After watching Ep 6... the scene when Roselyn holding a tulip and the driver, must be a long-time staff, says that tulip means 'unforgettable first love' and Thyme's mom then says that she needs to remind herself that she shouldn't accept changes. I wonder if the dad used to come from a poor family before married her then he left? I mean I watched a lot of Thai dramas, and infidelity seems quite common in their stories, about the patriarchs. She doesn't forget her first love (which is Tia and Thyme's dad) but also she doesn't want the change anymore, by letting a poor person comes into the Parama family. That will be a Thai flavor they talked about that's different from other versions. In Kdrama dad is in coma and Jan Di takes care of him, Jun Pyoo and sis don't even know it, later he wakes up. In Cdrama dad passed away. In Jdrama dad lives in NY.

I don't know how long Thyme has been there across the roof top watching Ren and Gorya. If from the beginning, he will see Gorya confronting Ren about Mira, cries, then Ren cheers her up. If in the end, Thyme only sees they're hugging. Different scene different understanding. I think deep down he's jealous at their bond, something that he still can't understand, cos he always wins since little. Ren and Gorya have lost things and people (Mira and Hana), they understand what loss meant so they understand each other.
Do you know what happened to Thyme and Tia's father?

I'm really hope they don't make Thyme returns with giving out F4 cards to Ren and Gorya like in other versions, and that stupid race. Although in C version ML deliberately lose, but I can't forget the K scene when Jun Pyo forces his horse to beat Ji Hoo, and later the horse caretaker tells him the horse cannot be used anymore, so animal abuse! I just hope Gorya finds out then real reason Thyme beat up Tesla and apologize, I think that's more mature solution, right?

If you're looking for short dramas, the Japanese one Hana Yori Dango is quite short. It's a trilogy, 2 seasons with a prologue movie but you don't need to watch the movie it ends Season 2. The story is similar to the Thai one. But if you're looking for the modernity, the J one is made in 2015 so there are outdated stuff. Not the story but outward things like fashion. This version also is socially aware on issues, unlike the J one is pure romcom imo ;D

Not only that his character development is very important for the succession of this drama, in my opinion, Thyme is the most colourful character compares to the rest, even the main character Gorya or a complex personality like Ren. Pretty much the description of others being stable, but Thyme is unpredictable. He can be scary, funny, cute, sad, sympathetic, cringey, annoying, eccentric, naive, you don't know what will happen with him on pretty much every next scene...

Did you watch other versions?

Imo the screenwriters understood that although there are lots of love of HYD, but there are haters of HYD too. Many people hate mean MLs and toxic relationships. As I said, mean MLs are no longer popular and nice ML's are on everyone top ten tags in the stats, if they are romantic drama watchers. That's why making Thyme a nicer version is the best decision. He is portrayed started to changed by the end of Ep 1 (when he's surprised after she kicked him) and has changed a lot though still retains his original behaviors. As I wrote, changes cannot happen overnight, but it shows especially when he's trying hard to hold his patience in Ep 6. You watched it?
