9.15 Felix FM is also a series of V LIVES by another member of kpop band Stray Kids, this time Lee Felix (Lee Yongbok).
Both projects are the result of a collaboration between the department Thai Media Fund and a media company (Hub Ho Hin Bangkok/GMMTV), which was in charge of developing a story around cyberbullying and social media to raise awareness about their problems.
Present day girl goes into history. Short and sweet story where the girl must remember school teachings to help make history move forward.
Okay, to start with it let me tell this in advance that I won't be giving spoilers here.
It is a novel adaptation drama . And if you want to know more about martial arts and wuxia Chinese dramas ... Go for it! I highly recommended this drama if you like bromance or if you are a beginner.

Both are centered around characters trying to figure out their careers and love lives and focuses a lot on their friendship
these dramas are very very similar... soo many plot lines are exactly same. if you liked story of ML and SFL in "Innocent Man" you will like QOA.
Main difference is that in "Innocent Man" FL it other girl and main romance is between her and ML, though story between ML and SFL takes half of the drama, and that story is main theme in QOA.
I think FL from QOA is worse then SFL from TIM, because second one causes empathy at list some times but FL from QOA can cause only hate and anger from viewer.
*it contain SPOILERS:
- ML is very similar as character also as his story, good kind guy changes after horrible betrayal from woman who loved very much and did everything for her, and he seeks revenge... second half of the drama is about his revenge.
- FL of QOA and SFL of TIM are also very very similar characters, very poor girl with hard childhood, abused from family member who had one goal in life, not to be poor and hungry anymore, become reach and powerful .
- relationship history between these guy and girl are same too: he loved and protected her from the childhood, did everything what he could and even more for her, ML even was ready to took blame for her (she murdered someone) and was in prison for her crime. They were couple but she betrayed him, chooses rich guy over him, instead of being grateful she does more and more harm to him.
- she has step brother, from who she was hiding and also uses him for (like she uses ML and other people too). ML has few people who really care about him and support him, they also tall him that she doesn't deserves him, though for long time ML doesn't want to realize it.
- when ML starts revenge to her, he uses for it woman from her new family. that woman doesn't like FL/SFL and doesn't trusts her.
-for revenge ML is ready to destroy himself with her, if it really helps his revenge.
- I think SFL from TIM loved ML but couldn't change her way, I even pitted her, though FL from QOA didn't loved anyone (I think), she wasn't capable of love, she is much cruel, also she did much worse to ML (I pitted ML from QOA more, he was through worst things because of her)

The Chinese drama is a remake of the Taiwanese drama that was also based on a novel.
Both dramas have essentially the same overall plot where the three leads are concerned and I really enjoyed both dramas.
I'd recommend you watch the Chinese version before watching the Taiwanese version, simply because the Taiwanese version was better and exceeded my expectations when I watched it after the remake.
Difference between the Chinese (remake) and Taiwanese version:
- The remake has a lot more characters and subplots that aren't in the original drama.
- The plot is really dragged, unnecessarily so, especially where the second lead was concerned. It focused too much on the second lead, whom I hated
- The remake has multiple couples, none of which were developed very well, or just didn't make sense.
- The ending, where all the characters get a redemption of sorts and become friends made no sense especially since they were never friendly, it made much more sense in the original version.
What the Taiwanese drama did better:
- The Taiwanese drama focuses it's entire plot on the three leads, not just their present selves, but also their much younger selves allowing more depth for all the characters.
- The drama was executed very differently to the remake. It starts off in the future (present) and shows flashbacks of the events that happened in the past between the three leads rather than showing the story in consecutive order. This gives it a sense of mystery and also allows it to be more from Ou Chen's perspective as we see the past whilst he regains his memories of this past.
- Ou Chen's character is explored much more, we got to understand why he is the way he is and he is shown to develop.
- It's made very obvious who the male lead is in this version since the beginning. A lot of the plot is seen from Ou Chen's prospective and also focuses a lot on his history.
- The acting of the female lead is much better In this version, she is far less cold and actually shows her emotions at all the right moments. She is also much more upfront and honest.
- I really liked Peter Ho's acting in this, not that the main lead in the remake was bad, it's just Peter Ho's character had more depth which he showed throughout the drama. In comparison, Ou Chen in the remake was just bland, like every other character in the remake was compared to the Taiwanese version.

The Penthouse: War in Life is really mysterious like the drama Law School. Just like this drama there is murder not 1 but a few. The plot twists are amazing as well. The dark vibe you get from this will really shake you up. The actors and actresses do an outstanding job with their characters. I was amazed. Definitely recommend it!!!
Both depict the loving relationship between a father and his son, who has autism/Asperger's.
Both are incredibly heartwarming and deal with the death of a loved one, as well as how their family adapts to the loss.
You will see some excellent messages in both about compassion, grief and love as well as some amazing character development and growth.
You will need a box of tissues for both :)
