This lakhorn is pure entertainment and joy from start to the end.Andrew Gregson amazes me in everything he does on-screen and he totally nailed the role of Tong.I have never seen him play such a goofy character.He brought out both the bold carefree gesture of Tong while also showing off his sensitive side so well.Andrew made Tong freaking adorable!It makes it even better with how handsome of a actor Andrew is!I love him so much!I am also a great fan of Aom,she is so beautiful and acts so well on-screen and her chemsitry with Andrew was wonderful!I love how they go from staring at each other to actually talking and then writing letters to each other.Both could be so shy with each other,so cute!On the front,there is not that much romance although its central to the story.But it didn`t take away my enjoyment of it since this is a really well done lakhorn in acting,directing and writing.I love all the other cast also.Tong`s friends Luen and Bang are both so funny!Love every scene with them!The moments with Tong arguing with Gim Lung`s mother was HILARIOUS!Never could stop laughing when Tong was provocing her all the time! I also enjoyed the moments with Hong and Ting,their fun bickering and conversations.Everything was hilarious and over the top sometimes,but it was entertaining nonethless.No wonder this became a hit by the time it aired,i will miss all the characters so much!

The main-hero Krao Supagan`s mother got raped and blackmailed by main-heroines father.Unable to handle the shame,Krao`s mother commited suicide. I understand Krao`s bitter resentment and hatred towards the Vichawayt family.They stand for everything that broke his family apart.He grows up in the heights of the business World,and ruthlessly plans ways for the Vichawayts destruction.He is able to use every method:seduction,deception,blackmail,kidnapping,forced marriage and forced kissess...he does it all!
Krao Supagan (played by Weir Sukollawat Kanarot) and Nuch Vichawayt (played by Mai Davika Hoorne) have a very turbulent relationship through and hated to love each other.Sadly this lakhorn was better the first eight episodes and then it started to go downhill,and i really suffered in the rest of it.Its badly written,very repetitive with much unnecessary OTT scenes.The problem may be that i have watched too many lakhorns,and done this too many times to be impressed.
By the way,i really liked the devotion and loyalty Chaitong had for his affection over Nuch in all 18 episodes (it was clear that Nuch would reject him) and then the writers make him fall for his Child-hood friend near the absolute end,just WTF???I didn`t Believe in any of it.

There are many adaptions based on this the manga "Hana Yori Dango" but the japanese version in MY opinion are the best one. It stays true to its story and the characters. Makino and Domyjoji are characters i love with all my heart and their blossoming love-story stays beautiful the whole time. They have an incredible chemistry, and the brotherhood of F4 always leave me to tears, they are such good friends, and by stealing the leaders heart, Makino also become a great friend to the all other guys. I have lost count on how many times i have watched this drama. I L.O.V.E and A.D.O.R.E this series with all my heart..!

The other adaptions are simply terrible for me. In this drama he is extremely possessive and protective of Mika, even willing to go as far as killing another person for her. He is simply one of my favourite on-television heroes ever, and Mika with her passion and strength i simply adored her. Mika and Hiro together joins into a journey where they experience the most truth in pain, passion, jealousy, and the beauty of love. It has its drama and angst, and the ending made me cry rivers...so much like never before. I love Mika and Hiro so much, and their pure undying love totally undid me.!

It`s a very powerful romantic drama,despite not having "that much" romance in it.It revolves around three people.One woman and two men who loves her.This drama is based on a novel and also has a manga adaption by Ming Xiao Xi who also have put out some quotes in the every start of every episodes of the drama.Its deepful meanings about love and relationships.It also shows that every episode resembles a greater meaning behind it.
Yin Xia Mo (played by Barbie Hsu) is the FL,a heroine who resembles like no other.She is not the supernaive and sacrificial character,nor is she a bratty snob.She has such patience for life that it shatters you,because life has given her none of that.Strength and bravery lies in her heart,and the deep need to survive in a hypocritical world where she trusts nobody.Her younger half-brother is a link that sways her away from madness,and the one soul she loves the most.For him she is ready to kill anyone who harms him ,and even accept punishment that serves her in jail.She is considered to be cold-hearted and manipulative by the people around her,but deep inside her heart she is just longing for happiness.We as viewers just have to applaud over her courage for that.
Luo Xi (played by Huang Xiaoming) is the charismatic devil-like orphan who also has manipulative and selfish characteristics like Xia Mo,especially for survival.He is cynical,sarcastic and two-faced from the start,just to not let anyone near him,and for him to not let himself care.That falls apart when he gets to know his foster-sister Xia Mo,and falls madly and unhappily in love with her.He is a tortured soul whose mother abandoned him in a amusement park,that grave betrayal has scarred him for life,until he loses his heart to Xia Mo.He can be considered as a tragic hero for many,but for me he is a tortured soul that (just like Xia Mo) earns for happiness,and he is brave enough to follow it.
The greatest reason i always re-watch this drama is because of Peter Ho`s portrayal of the eccentric,mighty alpha-male of a tycoon Ou Chen who has lived a lonely and cold life as long as he can remember.As a young teenager he befriends and falls in love with Xia Mo,but his possessive and controlling nature creates a strain in their relationship later in High-School.I love that Ou Chen never wavered in his love for Xia Mo,even when he suffered amnesia his heart still longed for Xia Mo.His love for her was his ruin...and his cure.He loved her so much that he couldn`t live without her.Nothing meant anything without her.I love him so much.He shines through every scenes,and has the brooding irresistible quality about him...and every time he looked at Xia Mo,my stomach just tickled like crazy.His love for Xia Mo was so powerful that it could easily destroy him.He is the Anti-hero you can`t help but love,and he lets nothing stand in his way in his pursuit of his beloved Xia Mo.Peter Ho should have got an Oscar for his performance,this man really fascinated me!!!

Characters:
Kimberly Ann Voltemas are known for her sassy and bratty roles as a rich heiress Nangek roles (like in "Rang Prattana" and "Buang Hong") and i can honestly say no one could have done better the portrayal of Pimchanok better than her.Kimmy shows Pim`s spirit and stubborness through her cold manevours,and her vulnerability and longing through her soul-ful eyes and tears,and does find deep emotional dvelopement througout this story.She is a brave and noble heroine that are willing to risk her own life to find justice for the people she loves. And i totally loved the clothes she wore as Pim.
Boy Pakorn (i also love him in "4 Hearts behind the Mountains") gives out his harder and more serious side in his portrayal of Lieutenant Natee, who against his will have to become Pim`s bodyguard.His work is his life,and together with his more carefree cousin Tiger,he never hesitates to take on dangerous missions to save people.We watch him change through his love for Pim,and being the first man who stands up against her bitchiness,he is also the one who always have to save her ass when she brings trouble to herself.
Not Vorarit plays the loyal gay-side-kick in the character of Jae Charlee who supports Pimchanok on every nail and tooth.He is the funny and flirty male-friend everyone wish for,and i just loved his sassyness and humor.He is 10 times more girly than Pim ever was,and i love how Natee and Tiger was joke-threatening to scare him off his gay-flirting,haha!
The veteran actress Yardthip Rachapol plays the gentle but mysterious co-star of Pim,Nethkamon who does appear to be nice and proper from the start.She falls in love with Natee after he saves her,but knowing that Natee and Pim love each other,she suffers from unrequited love.
The paranormal element comes with the ghost of Nam played by Belle Nanthikarn who grew up with Pim together in the orphanage but gets adopted earlier than Pim,therefore they got separated.She is the most pitiful and tragic character in the whole story,and becomes a guide in her ghost-form for Pim to find the real culprit.She is said to have been loved and wanted by many men during her life,among them Danai and Pipat,but according to my opinion she had only been the release of their lust.They never did anything to protect and cherish her,and never sought out any revenge or justice for her murder...so much for their "love".I can feel for Pim`s pain in losing her only sister and friend she ever had.I do feel for the loss of Nam`s tragic fate.She had suffered so much in life.
Romance:
Boy and Kimmy have amazing chemistry on-screen,and delivered the dynamics well between Pim and Natee. We love how they fight,bicker and kiss. Together with the supporting character,we root for this couple from the start. The second lead romance are between Tiger and Orn-they were so cute! I just love their natural friends-to-lovers romance. I can also hope that Jae will find his soulmate soon....he damn well deserves it!

This movie made me laugh my tears off and laugh my ass off. I loved every minute of it, and i consider Yaya and Sunny the true stars of this movie. Their portrayal as the siblings Jane and Chut has everything you would dream of, and me having a brother i also would like to kill sometimes (kiddin about the killin,but he does drive me mad) i actually could symphatize with Jane. You can also hear Yaya talk japanese many times, and watch her with a big pregnant belly! Go For It Yaya!

Despite also being a romantic family comedy, there is also elements of paranormal in terms of time travel through dreams.The cast is a bonus on this whole lakhorn. No scene is unwanted for me (except for the crazy females that always chases Toon) and no boring or unnecessary scenes! Everyone are hilarious especially Lan and her mother played by Tuk. Friends and Family are all there to support Toon`s and Lan`s marriage, come in to this world and root for them too in 365 Days of Love, because i highly recommend it!

"Time Between Dog and Wolf" were kind of epic to watch and i hugged my pillow many times.This series is full of tensions,enemies,secrets,mysterys,questions,deaths,twisted fates and passionate characters ready to destroy everything for the ones they love.Lee Joon-gi,Sang-mi and Kyung-ho did great performances and played incredible characters.My favourite part is when Soo-hyun gets amnesia and becomes the arrogant badass Kay,gosh how i love the scenes between him and his boss daughter Ji-woo.
