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.

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!

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.

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.”

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.”

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.
