We were all excited to relive the story of the well-loved Asianovela Meteor Garden through the recent Thai adaptation of the Japanese manga series Boys Over Flowers starring the Land of Smiles’ rising stars: 2gether the SeriesBright Vachirawit and Win Metawin and fresh faces Tu Tontawan, Dew Jirawat, and Nani Hirunkit. They make up the new gen cast of this iconic TV series, and they certainly did not disappoint.


Now that F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers is nearing its finale, the cast members graced our local screens over the weekend for their Philippine media conference, filed under the hashtag #F4ThailandThePHMediacon. Through this virtual event, fans got to know more about the actors behind the characters of Thyme (Bright), Gorya (Tu), Ren (Dew), Kavin (Win), and MJ (Nani), who shared their first impressions of each other, the challenges faced on the set of their show during a pandemic, and their upcoming projects to watch for.


It may have been a quick conversation, but the event hosted by MJ Felipe proved that their friendship goes beyond what we see on the screen. Find out our recent discoveries about the F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers cast members below!

1. Dew looked up to Bright even before F4 Thailand was formed. - Prior to being cast as Ren, the second male lead, Dew had seen co-star Bright’s previous work, and thought he was a cool guy that he aspired to be and wanted to work with. “It’s my dream come true,” he reveals.@dew_jsu

2. The whole cast is a tight-knit bunch. - “Basically, we're really close in real life, so it gets easier when we’re on the scene,” Win says. And it showed throughout the interview, as they finished each other’s sentences. The vibe we got from them during the virtual event was just so refreshing, and spoke a lot about their dynamic!ABS-CBN

3. They have some similarities to their characters on the show. - Win spills that, like Kavin, he’s quite a perfectionist, has good manners, and knows what he has to do. Meanwhile, Nani is as funny as MJ in real life. On the other hand, Dew and Ren both like spending quiet time alone at times. And finally, Tu is as strong and caring for friends and family as Gorya is.ABS-CBN

4. Meanwhile, Bright is far from Thyme. - “I like that I can do things that I don't do in real life,” Bright says about portraying Thyme. “I really enjoy portraying him—he was so evil and obnoxious in the beginning; I can't do that in real life because I’m not that kind of person. I really enjoy it when I play a character that's very different from myself.”ABS-CBN

5. Like Bright, Win also loves getting roles that challenge him. - Win’s most challenging scene on the “F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers” set? The rooftop scene, where he had to cry. He explains how he finds the complexities of Kavin’s life hard to understand, but this motivated him more to give his best take. He also loved that he got to do some action scenes on set, something that he wasn’t able to do previously. When asked what’s next on his acting bucket list, he answers, “Maybe be like Joker.”ABS-CBN

6. Tu and Bright’s first scene together was a bit uneasy. - “I was very uncomfortable and awkward,” Tu opens up about working with Bright for the first time. However, thanks to the help of the staff, they are able to pull it off—and have since been more comfortable and closer with each other.@bbrightvc

7. Bright will (soon!) visit the Philippines. - “I have a trip in mind,” Bright shares. “I want to go to Cebu. It's very beautiful there, so why not? I'll be there for sure.”ABS-CBN

8. After 'F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers,' they’re keeping a very busy sched! - As all members of the cast rose to fame during their stint in the series, projects came pouring in—so you’ll be seeing them more in the coming months! Bright already has two shows in the works—”Good Old Days” and “Astrophile.” Win will be joining him on “Good Old Days,” too, and has snagged a role in the program “Devil Sister.” Both Nani and Dew will appear in “Home School.” Lastly, Tu finds a new pair in Ohm Pawat in the upcoming series “10 Years Ticket.”ABS-CBN
