About the character "Thyme" from F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers

Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree's portrayal of the character Thyme in the Thai adaptation of F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers is one that has garnered widespread attention and praise. Thyme is the leader of the infamous F4, a group of wealthy, influential, and charismatic students at an elite high school.

However, beneath the luxurious lifestyle and powerful demeanor, he is a complex character marked by deep-seated insecurities, emotional wounds, and a longing for genuine connection.

At the start of the series, Thyme comes off as the quintessential spoiled rich kid. He is used to getting what he wants, and his arrogance is evident in how he initially treats others, especially those he sees as beneath him. He uses his influence and power to control his surroundings, often resorting to bullying to maintain his authority.

Despite his tough exterior, Thyme’s character is layered with vulnerability. His relationship with Gorya, the female protagonist, becomes the turning point in his character development. Although their relationship starts on rocky terms due to Thyme's arrogance, Gorya's strong will and refusal to be intimidated by him slowly begin to soften him.

One of the most compelling aspects of Thyme’s character is his transformation throughout the series. From a bully who uses his power to intimidate, Thyme evolves into a more self-aware and caring individual.

Throughout the interview, he talked about a lot of other topics including 2gether the series, his song Sleepin' Pill, his recent and upcoming projects, and more.
