Dew looked up to Bright even before F4 Thailand was formed. - Prior to being cast as Ren, the second male lead, Dew had seen co-star Bright’s previous work, and thought he was a cool guy that he aspired to be and wanted to work with. “It’s my dream come true,” he reveals.<cite>@dew_jsu</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>2. The whole cast is a tight-knit bunch.  - “Basically, we&#x27;re really close in real life, so it gets easier when we’re on the scene,” Win says. And it showed throughout the interview, as they finished each other’s sentences. The vibe we got from them during the virtual event was just so refreshing, and spoke a lot about their dynamic!<cite>ABS-CBN</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>3. They have some similarities to their characters on the show. - Win spills that, like Kavin, he’s quite a perfectionist, has good manners, and knows what he has to do. Meanwhile, Nani is as funny as MJ in real life. On the other hand, Dew and Ren both like spending quiet time alone at times. And finally, Tu is as strong and caring for friends and family as Gorya is.<cite>ABS-CBN</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>4. Meanwhile, Bright is far from Thyme.  - “I like that I can do things that I don&#x27;t do in real life,” Bright says about portraying Thyme. “I really enjoy portraying him—he was so evil and obnoxious in the beginning; I can&#x27;t do that in real life because I’m not that kind of person. I really enjoy it when I play a character that&#x27;s very different from myself.”<cite>ABS-CBN</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>5. Like Bright, Win also loves getting roles that challenge him. - Win’s most challenging scene on the “F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers” set? The rooftop scene, where he had to cry. He explains how he finds the complexities of Kavin’s life hard to understand, but this motivated him more to give his best take. He also loved that he got to do some action scenes on set, something that he wasn’t able to do previously. When asked what’s next on his acting bucket list, he answers, “Maybe be like Joker.”<cite>ABS-CBN</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>6. Tu and Bright’s first scene together was a bit uneasy. - “I was very uncomfortable and awkward,” Tu opens up about working with Bright for the first time. However, thanks to the help of the staff, they are able to pull it off—and have since been more comfortable and closer with each other.<cite>@bbrightvc</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>7. Bright will (soon!) visit the Philippines. - “I have a trip in mind,” Bright shares. “I want to go to Cebu. It&#x27;s very beautiful there, so why not? I&#x27;ll be there for sure.”<cite>ABS-CBN</cite></p></div><div class="item-desc"><p>8. After &#x27;F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers,&#x27; they’re keeping a very busy sched! - As all members of the cast rose to fame during their stint in the series, projects came pouring in—so you’ll be seeing them more in the coming months! Bright already has two shows in the works—”Good Old Days” and “Astrophile.” Win will be joining him on “Good Old Days,” too, and has snagged a role in the program “Devil Sister.” Both Nani and Dew will appear in “Home School.” Lastly, Tu finds a new pair in Ohm Pawat in the upcoming series “10 Years Ticket.”<cite>ABS-CBN</cite></p></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:left"><br/></div><div style="text-align:left"><strong>Watch the full #F4ThailandThePHMediacon below:</strong></div><div class="youtube-iframe"><iframe width="400" height="345" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y_wBkrs3hMo" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>Lead photos from <strong>ABS-CBN</strong></p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/people/celebrities/vhong-ogie-jc-showtime-kapamilya-contract-signing/32674" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Vhong, Ogie, and JC Express Gratitude to ABS-CBN</a></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/people/digital-covers/the-broken-marriage-vow-jodi-zanjoe-sue-metro/32529" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Celebrating Filipino Artistry With “The Broken Marriage Vow”</a></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/people/celebrities/stars-at-kapamilya-strong-2022-contract-signing/32478" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">All The Stars At Kapamilya Strong 2022 Contract Signing Event</a></div>
