Hahaha... if you want to know what it meant by detailed analysis on F4TBOF, you should check out the comment section of the drama ;D. This article is like a child play compares to the in-depth comments. I merely wrote a Currently Watching article, with my first impression of the four first episodes and my anticipation of the further episodes.

It's a good thing you have a watch buddy, so you can discuss and debate over the drama. I really envy you ;D

I think the plot will stay similar to the other versions, or more likely the manga, as it's a licensed version. It means it has to adhere what the author/her agency requested. You should see the second official trailer with the glimpse of the rest of the story. What do you think? Does it look like following the similar plot or not?

So F4TBOF is your first Thai drama? Welcome to the Thai dramaland, then! As I wrote above, first experience is always memorable. The language, culture, style, costume, setting, etc are indeed a whole new world to discover! ;D

I'll let you know when Part 3 is out. Your favorite actor should be there ;D

Wow... probably you will continue. The reason I suggested readers to watch Ep 1 as imo it has the worst bullying, which may be a trigger warning or a turn-off, and also the worst of Thyme's behavior. Thyme actually keeps getting better gradually, and Gorya is not a doormat. The biggest test for his character development and their romance is of course with the mom thing, as you've seen in the K and C versions.

So do you like it so far besides the Magic Pork Night? ;D
Notice that towards the end of the second official trailer, Thyme does what exactly Gorya's mom does when she fixes the tube TV... he adapts quite well ;D

Try the first episode and tell me what you think.

So both dramas have open ending? Cos you're waiting for the movie

I suggested readers to try just watched Ep 1 since imo it has the worst bullying, which may be a trigger warning or a turn-off, and also the worst of Thyme's behavior. I applauded you trying until Ep 4.

Oh really??? I didn't know that, hahaha, cos I don't watch it. I heard that the Japanese couple had a thing back then (Matsujun and Inoue)

No I haven't or I will know the term, hahaha

who is a very neutral and level headed youtuber?

This is part 2 of 3. There is still 1 part to go.

let me know when the sub is out, tyvm

I think you misunderstood the content of article. The ones you mentioned about addressing bullying and Thyme's character development are both under the Forethoughts section. It means my careful consideration of what will be necessary or may happen in the future. My anticipation of the upcoming episodes, in this case Ep 5 to 16, since I submitted the article right after Ep 4 was released.

I don't mention the characters differences for other versions, because my intention to write this article is not to do character analysis or compare-contrast on versions. I simply want to introduce this wonderful drama to people who don't know, don't plan to watch, or don't want to watch F4TBOF.

Actually, there are a lot of people dislike the K version. They said hurrah when BOF rating falls from 8.0 to 7+ ;D

Try watching Ep 1 and tell me what you think ;D

I know, right? I remember last year I made a joke somewhere that BOF is like an entrance exam into the dramaland. If you watch and pass it, guarantee you can survive in dramaland watching any genre, subgenre, tag/cliche, country, etc ;D

I heard The Rational Life with Dylan Wang is very good. I don't watch it cos I don't like noona romance. But Qin Lan is a veteran actress and very beautiful, and Dylan Wang's character is likable.
Connor Leong has 2 dramas I really like. First is My Love Enlighten Me. He played as a sound engineer who incidentally finishes off the FL's career start. She and 2 other girls (one is his sister) debut for their first girl group audience. He made a mistake with lighting and sound thing. FL pours all her money for the career start, so she broke and her friend (ML's sister) tells her to stay with her brother in their grandma's house (the ML's family is rich). Since he knows he wronged them, he lets her stay and later on they fall for each other. The beauty about this drama is FL starts another career in design from the bottom, first starts as a clothing salesperson and climbs up. Basically she builds her career by herself. ML doesn't help her with freebies, but he's there to support her etc. And they're so cute and so look alike, lol.
His second one I like is a mini drama Definitely Not Today. It's short but impactful. He plays as a miserable looser guy who is suicidal. One night he wants to commit suicide but meet FL who falls into the water. Opposite to him, she's a tough cookie and a fighter in life. They've worked together as a couple in another female centered drama but I don't watch it. I actually wrote a mini recap article on it.

Well it seems like they put all angsty scenes of 11 remaining episodes in, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of sweet and funny scenes in between... However I already told myself to hold watching in the future when things getting serious (like with the arranged engagement), and binge later when it's done. My principle, better to cry the whole day on 9 April binging, than crying every Saturday watching 1 episode.

What about you? I'm basically a binge-watcher, I watch completely subbed dramas. I write currently watching article, because I want to promote the drama. In the case for F4TBOF, to 'convert the non-believers', hahaha. The ones who doesn't want to watch this one because of bad experience with other version(s) ;D

Oh no... drama adaptations are notorious for rushed endings like that :(
