Where Can I Watch F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers? But content to date seems to throw more emphasis on the Kavin character than Ren, indicating a slightly different balance in the storyline.

Is it a miss that they’re not after the same girl? It’s actually newcomer Jirawat ‘Dew’ Sutivanichsak, who plays Ren (Rui Hanazawa/Ji-hoo/Huaze Lei) in the love triangle. His counterpart in 2gether, Metawin ‘Win’ Opas-iamkajorn is the playboy Kavin (Sojiro Nishikado/Yi-jung/Ximen). Vachirawit ‘Bright’ Chivaaree plays lead character Thyme (Tsukasa Domyoji/Joon Pyo/Dao Ming Si). So, it will be interesting to see how they fare in a drama where chemistry is crucial to live up to the brand.

It’s delivered in a more believable, less day-time-TV fashion that’s way more watchable than some of the old-skool offerings.

What does that mean for us? Thai drama is known for its way-over-the-top ‘da-da-da!’ portrayal of stories but has more recently, particularly at GMM, gotten closer to a familiar highly dramatized reality in contemporary series like The Gifted or Kiss the Series.
