I feel like for a project with this high budget they could do better with the script and story flow. A lot of things doesn't seem to have any logic because the script is bad. Also I don't know if it's again the script or Kwon Nara's acting, but her character is not delivering at all. For me the highlight of this show so far is the epic pilot episode. Later episodes are a bit all over the place but Lee Joon's appearance is saving it. His character is so far the most compelling in this show. I like how he is able to deliver that violent and civilized aura, it gives me that unsettling feeeling.
It's honestly not as bad as some of the extreme negative reviews say. It's the typical chinese manhua and wattpad story. But it feels like they only have 20dollars and a box of donut for costume budget. The characters literally wear 2 sets of clothes like uniform lol And why can't they brush the hair sticking out of ML's head.
Damn Lee Joon's really on a roll lately! I always used to remember him as that funny and clumsy idol in RunningMan. I couldn't forget when he first guested, he ran off leaving his cameraman and hid in a cardboard box for 20mins, and then came back drenched in sweat without any video footage haha And also everytime he joins the idol olympics episode, he's always the black hole in the team.hahaha
And now I see him with his acting roles and I'm totally amazed how cool and electrifying his presence is! Especially on Bulgasal and Silent Sea. He's now really giving me that JuJiHoon vibes. And because of his goofy offcam persona, he can also pull off that endearing roles like in My Father is Strange.
I'm excited for his future projects and he definitely gained my admiration in his acting career.
Maybe in previous lives her grudge was Bulgasal killed her and stole her soul and she was getting revenge by taking…
Yes. That's why the shaman said it's an endless cycle of revenge and death. Perhaps in their prime life they were originally lovers and then something happened that kept the chain of killing each other repeatedly.
I started this without even watching the trailer, and now I'm really hooked! I didn't expect it to be this good. Episode 1 is like a movie in it's own, great cinematography and moving story. Episode 2 is also very intruiging.
I finally managed to watch the first episode. I'm glad they didn't follow the usual lakorn style which I often find cringey. They added realism to the script about the whole bullying aspect, I appreciate this a lot in comparison to other version where I felt they had to over exaggerate to build a context on what is happening to the school and what kind of power F4 holds. And I feel like they put more heart and reasoning on every scene rather than just inserting random clips for comic relief.
I still don't like that they only release 1 ep per week. There are so many good dramas released lately that I feel like I would end up losing interest in this.
So far if I rank the adaptations, I'd still pick the following order : 1) Meteor Garden (Taiwan) - this is the OG, I'll probably find it cringey and problematic if I rewatch this now but nothing can replace the feels it brought me during the time it was originally aired.
2) Hana Yori Dango (Japan) - probably the most canon adaptation
3) BOF (Korea) - their adaptation is not perfect but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
4) Meteor Garden (China) - I hated this. I had so much excitement in the beginning but it was disappointing. They lost the magic/essence of this story with all the changes they added.
Let's see how F4 Thailand will compare to the rest.
Its a marketing strategy. If they release all eps at once people would talk about it for a week or two, and thats…
Yes, but that is only if it can live up to expectation and really build up each week. I've seem many other dramas that lost steam along the way. I personally would more likely continue watching a series with a couple of boring eps if all the episodes are released, unlike if I have to wait another week to see if it gets better.
See how strategies for Netflix works (ex Squid Game), within one day you can judge the entirety of the show and ratings gets released . If it 's overall good it will trend and people (even those who do not have this in their radar) will get curious. Even if some parts are boring, viewers will stick with it to see what the hype is about. For local, I totally get the 1 ep per week strategy. But it they want to hit international (where Thai Dramas and actors are still unknown to majority) , imho they shld change it up a bit. Strike while the iron is hot. :)
They should have at least aired two episodes per week..
They could earn the same regardless of dropping all eps thru subsequent streams in YT or other platforms. What's important is not to lose momentum and viewers getting bored and dropping halfway thru (which is more likely to happen with slow updates). I just hope this show does well and get some recognition.

Yes, I hope they change strategy. I know they are targetting international market with this, but unless it is super amazing and they can keep the momentum in every single episode, all it takes is one boring episode/week and casual viewers will drop this.
Actually better if they can release episodes in bulk per week or in one go, so viewers can binge. If it's even half good as expectations it will for sure trend and they will get more streams later on.

I think it was Joon though who killed her family.
