F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers [2021]

Best adaptation so far

Japanese manga series Boys Over Flowers (花より男子, Hana Yori Dango) written and illustrated by Yoko Kamio; and has Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese, and Thai versions. The Thai version is the best adaptation so far.

Though the storyline remains the same, compared to other pretty old versions, I loved how they modernized this version for the current generation. F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers starred Tu Tontawan (as Gorya) and Bright Vachirawit (as Thyme) consists of 16 episodes.
