Missing ‘Boys Over Flowers’? Get to know the cast of the Thailand remake
The Thai adaptation of Boys Over Flowers arrived as F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers and gave longtime fans a fresh take on the familiar story of class friction and teenage alliances. The series followed Gorya, a working-class student who crosses paths with the elite F4 group and finds herself caught between loyalty, status, and unexpected affection. Production stayed rooted in GMMTV while director Patha Thongpan steered the project from its early announcement through completion.
What we know about F4 Thailand
The show premiered on GMM 25 on December 18, 2021, and wrapped its 16-episode run on April 9, 2022. GMMTV handled production alongside Parbdee Taweesuk. The story centers on the red-card system used by the F4 boys to single out targets, a device that drives both conflict and later attempts at accountability. Patha Thongpan kept the core love triangle intact while shifting emphasis toward how power shapes daily interactions at an elite school.
Tu Tontawan
Tu Tontawan, born November 7, 2000, stepped into the lead role of Gorya. The dental student turned actor had no prior screen credits when filming began, yet her performance anchored the series. She has since continued with GMMTV on later projects, including appearances slated for 2026, and maintains a parallel modeling schedule.
Bright Vachirawit
Bright Vachirawit portrayed Thyme, the sharp-tongued leader of F4. After the series he founded Cloud9 Entertainment in 2023, released music, and sustained international brand work that includes Burberry campaigns into 2026. He also appeared in a 2024 romance-action film that broadened his film credits beyond television.
Dew Jirawat
Dew Jirawat played Ren, Thyme’s closest friend and the quiet counterpart within F4. He entered the project after a modeling career in Thailand and has kept his association with GMMTV on subsequent series.
Win Metawin
Win Metawin returned to screens as Kavin after pairing with Bright on earlier GMMTV titles. He has since become a shareholder in The One Enterprise and launched the fashion brand Velence along with several dessert businesses, while continuing to appear in high-profile events.
Nani Hirunkit
Nani Hirunkit made his acting debut as M.J. and signed with GMMTV shortly after production. He has remained under the agency banner for follow-up roles that keep him active in the Thai drama circuit.
Series Reception and Legacy
F4 Thailand earned a 7.9 rating on IMDb from more than 104,000 votes. The complete series accumulated over 600 million YouTube views by late 2023 and placed high in multiple Thai romance rankings. Viewers noted the show’s willingness to linger on the mechanics of bullying rather than gloss over them with quick apologies.
Current Status and Availability
The full run streams on Rakuten Viki and select regional platforms in 2026. No second season has been confirmed or produced despite continued fan interest. International broadcasts reached audiences across Asia and parts of Latin America shortly after the Thai finale.
The Cast Today
Tu remains busy with 2026 titles such as Gohan and Scarlet Heart Thailand. Bright balances acting with music and his agency roster. Win continues to expand business holdings while keeping a visible acting profile. Dew and Nani stay within the GMMTV system for new projects that build on their F4 Thailand exposure.
Bullying Theme and Social Commentary
Patha Thongpan stated before release that the adaptation would treat bullying as a central thread. The finished series shows the red-card ritual in repeated scenes and follows characters through uneven attempts at repair. Media coverage in 2024-2026 has returned to these arcs when discussing how Thai youth dramas address peer aggression and status pressure.
