Justifiable logic at first but inconsistent and contradictory later. Weak Acting. Quite lagging.
1. Story [~]The story makes the ML to be a bully / prey-predator at school - not the type to fall for nowadays, but he has to be popular at school according to the plot. However, the production team did a good job with their narrative to convey how severe bullying can be and how it shouldn't be accepted. Toward the end of EP1, the majority of floating comments from the online viewers all ask when this bullying gonna stop in the sense that the bullying is now too much - which, when the FL high-kicks him, it's truly justified. The viewers are all satisfied with that kick.
In general, this kind of plot that revolves around the bad guy and cute, fighting girl who has a crush on his friend instead can go down to the cringy side easily, but as of EP3, the production team has been avoiding the clinginess quite alright. I think their clear thought on the plot's logic is a part that helps.
-----------------------------------------------------
2. Acting [-]
It's a mix. If I'd be absolutely honest and straightforward, I'd say the acting of the main cast is much lacking. There're some scenes that come out quite well and show the charisma/charms of the characters, but that's because of the skills of the production and post-production teams.
Among the three main characters - the FL, ML and ML's friend that FL has a crush on - the FL did the best job. It's seen she tried and it helps making the character's fighting spirit shine. Her character's dialogue has the potential to make things come out cringy as well, but the way she acts until EP3 has been able to avoid that case (though very narrowly in some scenes.)
The ML's acting isn't convincing when it's the scenes about being dumb or noisy or bad. It seems like he doesn't wholeheartedly want to be the character, for example, he doesn't really yell when he's supposed to threaten people with a loud voice, and a lot of time he acts awkwardly, his facial expression in intense scenes can't make me believe. If he has to be in an intense scene with the FL, his expression is not up to her. Watching him makes me feel he's not in his element.
The ML's friend that FL has a crush on also has weak acting skills. When he cries, it looks more like he's about to laugh. I think you know that kind of expression when we see through a fake cry. It's not that the person is really going to laugh, but because it's a fake one, the expression is more to the side of a laugh. When he talks, it also still feels awkward.
The other two ML's friends sound awkward when they talk in their specific way as well. There's this kind of saying in Thai language when women normally end their sentences with kha for politeness while men end theirs with krub. Sometimes when guys want girls they talk with to feel being adored or when a much adult guy talks with a little girl with a large age gap, they would end their sentences with kha instead. The way these two characters say kha is very cheesy - not natural at all. It's obvious that they're not familiar with that way of talking. It sounds very off and so separate from being real.
Umm... I'm still quite stuck with the acting of the ML here. Let me mention a bit, if you ever watch the Japanese version, the ML in that version is beyond any other versions. Matsumoto Jun set the standard of this character so high.
-----------------------------------------------------
3. Pace [-]
Each EP is about one hour, which is quite long in my opinion, esp. if there's nothing much happening during the time interval or the acting is too boring to follow. I start to feel it gets lagging a bit in EP2 and it's real slow for me when I watch EP3.
-----------------------------------------------------
In conclusion, what caught my eyes in the first place is the looking of the cast. They are all good-looking on the same par. It's quite exciting to see them being introduced in the first EP, but their acting can't attract me longer than EP3.
Personally, among the total of 5 versions of Boys Over Flowers series (the others are from Taiwan, Japan, Korea and China), this version has the most good-looking cast. Five of them are all good-looking. None of the other 4 versions pays attention to the equality in good-lookingness of these 5 characters. In terms of the enjoyment with the series' overall, though, Season 1 of the Japanese version is the best, followed by the Chinese version. The other three are not to my taste.
By the way, I would say for the Boy Over Flowers series, the versions that get me get me from their acting. I'm not that much into the story, but it's fun to watch when they match a dumb bad ML with a fighting spirited FL. So, the score on acting weighs quite heavier than other aspects to make me enjoy this series.

Acting is horrible / writing even worse
The acting by this cast is unbearably bad. Especially the male lead. And the acting is made worse by the writers storyline.After watching and loving the Chinese meteor garden and the Korean boys over flowers I had high hopes for another drama of this manga. However this is just awful except for how good looking the cast is.
The best acting is by Gorya & Kavin. The worst acting is by Thyme.
I’m dropping at Episode 5 because Hana’s storyline was so badly written it doesn’t make any sense and Thymes acting was the worst I’ve seen that I just can’t continue.

It aint good
This version of the original Boys Over Flowers sucks it ain't even good.Their acting sucks you can't even understand them.
The cast very very bad.
The clothes they wear on the series disgusting and so fucking ugly as hell.
Next time don't fucking do a new version of popular or any series at that point.
Do something else that isn't from someone else.
Production company needs to do better.

exceeded my expectations
one episode has already been out, but with only watching the first episode, I am already in love with this show. I have loved the other boys over flowers remake but this one also has exceeded my expectations. I currently love this show and can’t wait for the rest of the episodes to air. the plot and acting is also very good. I higher recommend watching this. everyone is good looking as well ! though this can trigger people and us very toxic, it is a good show. anyways, go watch this and support all the actors on their amazing work!Esta resenha foi útil para você?

THIS IS THE WORST VERSION! Pretentious but failed.- Their wardrobes are inappropriate to the setting and unjustified.
- BrightWin’s acting is monotonous.
- Plot is confused. It seems the creatives behind these series are not on the same page. In their attempt to incorporate everything, they got lost focus.
- The way the story is execute is
OBSOLETE.
- Quality is compromised.
- BrightWin is overrated actors. From their first series, acting is the same.
- in short, It was only made to milk fans.

Promising Start…
I’m a big fan of the original ‘ Hana Yori Dango Franchise’. Whilst I have my differing opinions on each version I can’t deny one of the beauties of each adaptation was its ability to capture something unique to each country the series had been adapted into.It’s still early days with F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers and whilst there’s a lot of time to see where the series will go, I am looking forward to it as the series has presented the story once more with a promising start and new faces to the role. Admittedly there are certain main characters who I am struggling to become enamoured by quite yet but time will only tell how ‘ F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers’ will play out.

Comparison Not Necessary
Not being a fan of BrightWin but being a huge fan of the story having seen them all and anime, against my best judgment I gave it try. Instant hate. I just don't like BrightWin or that ML girl.I will say this. It's fine if you like this one for whatever reason but are comparisons necessary. Bright in my opinion is a horrible actor. He in no way out did any previous actor in this story not even the anime. Not Jerry Yan (Taiwan) Not Jun Matsumoto (Japan) Lee Min Ho (South Korea) or Dylan Wang (China)
Reviews are for your personal opinions and heres mines I agree with someone that reviewed this for IMBD this story was stunt casted with BrightWin due to their popularity. And thats my opinion.
Bright cant match any previous Domyouji from this series past for any reason. This is not the best version and normally I would not say that but since the consensus is that it is. I will say it isn't.
I have a huge respect for this story and all it's previous versions and the actors and actresses that breathe life into these characters.
That so many people felt the need to raise this version up by putting down the others. Shame on anyone who did that.
Yes you are entitled to your opinions and I am to.
In conclusion congratulations to all lead actors in all versions. All of your interpretation are appreciated and that includes Bright. I may not like him or Win. I definitely will not complete this series but apparently his performance touched many people.
I dont need to mention my favorite because all of them deserve credit for bringing this story to life.

F4: Thailand
I dropped at episode 3.I’m honestly not a huge fan of F4 story, I’m just a typical drama lover, but I had watched the Chinese and Korean ver and Extraordinary You F4 and I enjoyed it,
Just my opinion: Weak acting/cast
•Some acting and dialogue just throws me off, I ended up doing a lot of skipping. I believe it will be so much better if they choose the main cast wisely. Not to be mean to the main cast but I feel like they could of have choose stronger casting or cast who has more experience in acting. I was so excited about Bright Win in F4 but sadly it’s not up to my expectations. Lastly, they could of have make the dialogue less awkward.
•I think Gorya did a pretty good job but there’s still some stiffness probably might be because of the dialogue.
•Thyme, sometime his facial expressions looks awkward or just unbearable to watch.
•There is still some awkwardness between Gorya/ Thyme and Gorya/Ren.
•I feel no chemistry in this drama
Overall they could of have chosen actors and actresses who is stronger at acting to make this remake strong and fix the dialogue. F4 Thailand is still not the best remake in my opinion.
Suggesting cast:
FL: Mild Lapassalan (she fit in any drama genre tbh)
ML: Luke Ishikawa (I think he could fit for ML but he’s Thai accent can be a throw off (idk))
Mook Worranit, Apo Thitipoom, Way-Ar, Fah Yongwaree, Purim Rattana.

Meteor Garden Was Miles Better.
I think the bullying was quite graphic and unnecessary. I personally will not continue watching. Don't like actors in their roles except Ren. He's awesome, had he got the lead role maybe I'd give it a chance. Dylan Wang as Daoming Si in the Chinese version was way better IMO. The whole cast in the Chinese version was amazing. This attempt is an epic fail. EPIC. But that's just my opinion. People seem to be enjoying it. I'll sit this one out. I honestly hope everyone enjoys it. I'll just rewatch Meteor Garden and Korea's Boys Over Flower. Then the anime of Hana Dori Dango. I need to cleanse my palet of this version immediately. Awful.
