The Episode Review
Thyme’s mother has finally arrived in Thailand, and with her comes a new rival - Gorya. The war with Gorya will soon begin, and with it, the search for the truth about her past. F4 Thailand has once again created a unique story that is sure to keep readers engaged.
Despite the writers’ departure from the 50-episode path, they still manage to cleverly incorporate visuals that honor the source material and its many remakes. While those of us who have watched any of the previous versions know where this story is going, seeing those little flashes sidled into the tight story makes this an extra-special watch. ..
The team on screen have embraced their characters as well. This week’s storyline of Thyme going all ‘commoner’ was sweet and silly and the right balance against he and Gorya having to go up against his mother. Even though Gorya hasn’t really said yes yet (come on, already), she’s clearly on #TeamThyme. If she doesn’t admit it soon, Ren will have to subtly push her yet again.
This episode didn’t have the emotional turn that some of the previous episodes had. Maybe because so many big decisions have been made, particularly in Episode 7. And a some big moments are yet to come – like the response to Thyme’s engagement announcement. Lita’s arrival is unlikely to change Thyme’s plans – but what of Gorya?
Thyme is 18 years old and has never had to take care of himself. He lives with his best friend, Gorya, because he can. Thyme spends his days sailing on a yacht and learning how to cook and clean. He is in love and free from any responsibilities. ..
