Joong & Dunk.just to name a few and there is so many more & Bright and Win got it? WTF!!! EPIC FAIL. If they wanted to propel BL actors there were much better choices. Thailand has some wonderful strong actors and Bright and Win got the leads. That long haired guy and the guy that played Ren were pretty good. ![]() She did not hold up to any Makino or Shancai or Jan Di. Yes I hate Bright and Win but I can give credit where credit is due. Some changes were not great but it kinda sorta worked. They all had their changes and for the most part made sense to their story while holding true to the original content. The South Korean version and the Chinese Meteor Garden and liked all of them. As a Fan of the movie version which wasn't great it had a certain charm with a short haired Makino. Tu isn't terrible per se but I'm not impressed. Simply my opinion so don't really care if this review is helpful or not. Their 'romance' does get better later on and there's some good acting especially with the male lead but yeah I don't see this in my repeat roster. The male constantly hounds the girl for attention which I guess can be cute if done moderately but they did it like he was some stalker. Since the show modernized it that phones/social media is prevalent here. After the personality change the male lead is seen as really clingy. The girl is a hypocrite as well, she cries foul how male lead always resort to violence yet she too hits and pushes him when angry all. In other versions they may start the red tag but they never went out of their way to actually go to some stadium, sit in the middle to spectate, and instigate the rest of the student body because it was an "anonymous outlet" like it's some justification for what they were doing. one episode they hurting each other the next they love one another. They really portrayed it realistically and intense, I mean I guess that grounds it makes it more relatable? But that it took me out in believing somebody can actually fall for someone THAT violent so quickly since this is a short 16 ep series so a lot of their bonding time are merged. My problem here with this Thai version is that they focused on the toxicity too much. Meteor Garden 2018 is the mildest out of all the versions. I know that their romance is toxic but I am a sucker for it. I've been an avid fan of this series since the first live action version popped up.
