Production[]

After it was announced on 15 October 2019, several names were suggested online by Thai netizens on who should play the main roles.[3][7]

On 16 September 2020, almost a year since it was announced, GMMTV officially revealed the artists who would be taking the main roles of the said series.[8] Current GMMTV artists Vachirawit Chiva-aree and Metawin Opas-iamkajorn, who recently starred in the boys' love series 2gether: The Series and Still 2gether, will be playing two of the F4 members, joined by new faces namely Tontawan Tantivejakul, Hirunkit Changkham and Jirawat Sutivanisak in the said series which is expected to air in 2021.[9] After the announcement of Vachirawit and Metawin as members of F4 Thailand, some online fans expressed their surprise with their new fictional roles but some see it as an "opportunity to grow as an actor."[10]

On the reason why GMMTV decided to acquire the rights of creating the Thai television adaptation of Boys Over Flowers, Sataporn Panichraksapong, who serves as GMMTV's managing director, said that the series has received positive reviews and contains social issues that are currently relevant to the Thai society. He also said that Parbdee Taweesuk will be tasked to produce the series as they have worked with them on several projects already.[8][11] Parbdee Taweesuk's projects include the trending 2018 television series, The Gifted.[9]
